1 | is the seed non-human? | Dan 2:43 | Rowdy | 133570 | ||
Matt 24 is a very controversial chapter as Christ is talking about two different major events. This subject has been discussed to great lengths here on the Forum and just in case you need to know you can insert key words like "end times" in the Quick Search to retrieve those posts for your reading pleasure. Briefly, my belief along with many millions of christians from around the world is that Jesus was talking about the ultimate ending of the world and its disintegration as depicted by Peter. This was what I was referring to with the reference to the thief at night. The second major event as discussed by Jesus in this chapter is the pending doom and destruction of the Israelite nation as God's favored family. I suppose you already know on or about 70 AD, the Roman army completely destroyed the Temple, to the point they even melted the gold from between the column joints supporting that structure. They completely destroyed ALL the records of the Jewish family so that no one to this day can trace his roots back to Moses as required by Jewish custom to prove their nationality. You see, there's no clear scriptures that definitely descibes the rapture or this thousand year reign here on earth. All that is a lot of conjecture on someone's part with a few vauge verses giving very weak support. But in contrast we do know there will always be strife, wars and rumors of wars on this planet as long as it exists. Jesus did tell us that. And as I stated about the ultimate end of the world, no one can possibly know when it will happen. The trumpet could blow the very next second and I'd be as suprised as everyone else. The most important item of learning we all need to know is to be like the 5 wise virgins waiting for the coming of the bridegroom. That much was also clearly communicated from our Lord. Hope this helps and God bless. Rowdy |

2 | is the seed non-human? | Dan 2:43 | believer 2004 | 133584 | ||
Rowdy, Although I agree with most of what you said, i have to disagree with you on a few points: 1) GOD knows who those with Jewish roots are. If you were thinking that I was even talking about the rapture at that point, it was a mistake, I wasn't. Also, there are many scriptures that talk about a literal thousand year reign as well as Jesus coming in what a lot of people refer to as the rapture. I would be more than happy to quote those verses for you but i'm sure you've heard it many times before. I've never really heard that Matt. 24 was a controversial chapter, unless it was between those who fail to see the church and the Israelis as two different groups. It also tells you that no one can know the day or hour, but those who aren't in darkness will know the approximate time. God bless, Misty |
