1 | EXPLAIN MATTHEW 24 VS. 1-10 | Matt 24:1 | CDBJ | 184769 | ||
Hello coper44, Am I reading you right when you suggest the following? “It's interesting to note how many times Jesus used the word "you" when answering his disciples questions. This indicates that Jesus was referring to the generation to which he was speaking (see also Matt. 23:36).” 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? Please clear this up for me or am I not understanding what you are saying, CDBJ |

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 |

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit teacheth, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. (1 Corinthians 2:12-14 I am praying for you brother |
