1 | Still studying Mattew 24 | Matt 24:3 | Reformer Joe | 78597 | ||
You asked: "OK, so if Matthew 24 has already occured why hasn't Jesus returned? Is Matthew 24 split into two different time periods? " That is exactly what some believe, actually. Proponents of what is commonly called "partial preterism" look at Matthew 24 as Jesus' two-part answer to what they consider to be a two-part question in verse 3: "[a] Tell us, when will these things happen, and [b] what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" You asked: "What about the sun and moon being darkend, and stars falling from the sky, when does that occure? A group of small meteors striking the earth could easly account for that." Often prophecy uses cosmic and environmental symbolism to describe total destruction. Those who hold that part of Matthew 24 took place in A.D. 70 suggest that this is the case in this situation. --Joe! |
