1 | First Century Second Coming? | John 5:19 | Fatherof4 | 127715 | ||
Steve, Step back and read all of Matthew 16. Does is really make sense to split off the last verse as to referring to something different? "the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels" is the same as "the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." So where is the "reward each person according to what he has done." In the Transfiguration. When Jesus says "I tell you the truth" or "Verily I say unto you", he is always referring to the point he just made. As far as Luke 21:31-33, put yourself in the place of the original audience. Wouldn't you think that YOU were to "see these things happening" in YOUR generation? The kicker is that this generation did witness "Jeruslem surrounded by armies" (Luke 21:20) during the seige by the Romans leading up to Jerusalem's destruction in AD 70. |

Hello Fatherof4, Yes, it does make sense for the last verse of Matt 16 to be speaking of a different thing. The rest of Scripture upholds the separation. As for Luke 21:31-33 -- I would look for these things in order to see if this was the generation He was speaking of. Steve |

Please show me where else in scripture that Jesus says "I tell you the truth..." or "Verily I say unto you..." because he is suddenly changing the subject. Jesus is always referring back to the previous statement to add emphasis to that statement. As far as Luke 21:31-33 happening in the first century, take a look at this article: http://www.tektonics.org/olivet01.html |
