Bible Note: CDBJ, In answer to your question: "Are you making a statement that the word “you”, as used in the Olivet Discourse, is only referring to those that were within hearing range of Christ’s voice? If that’s the case, then everything that he spoke to them, doesn’t pertain to us, right? I guess then, if that’s the case, you don’t believe the word “you” was rhetorical in nature and includes the scope of all believers?" The words Jesus spoke to His disciples related to the events which would take place in their generation. So, by definition, they were not "to us" but "for us". They serve to build up our faith in our Savior as One Who keeps His promises. I hope this clears up your understanding of what was written earlier, Coper |
