1 | Sacking of Jerusalem by Romans in view? | James 5:7 | DocTrinsograce | 241995 | ||
Hi, Huron... Yes, I tend to agree that Matthew 24:33-34 is referring to the Siege of Jerusalem of 70 AD. When I mentioned considering what the rest of the Kerygma has to say about parousia (Strongs #G3952), I was not necessarily thinking so much of Paul (although I would certainly not neglect him) but of Peter and even John. Indeed, the Johnian use of the term was after the fall of Jerusalem. Furthermore, given that the apostles were familiar with one another's teaching as well as the teaching of Christ, we might well suppose that they would use the same language -- not to mention the synchronization accomplished through the Holy Spirit. Therefore, let us take the apostolic teaching as a whole (Acts 2:42; Ephesians 2:20; etc.). Nonetheless, I am glad to see you drawing the conclusion that James is speaking of judgement -- given all the silly paintings of Revelation 3:20 as a matter of evangelism, it encourages me when the idiomatic nature of the phrase "at the door" is understood as a reference to certain coming judgement. Thank you for sharing with us! In Him, Doc |

Doc, While I don't think my observation about this text really changes anything in the big picture, I did enjoy kicking it around with you. I'll check out the Rev. text you mentioned in context. Regards, Huron |
