21 | Is Matthew 24:14 almost fulfilled yet? | Col 1:23 | Lastday | 99111 | ||
Dear Taleb, You need to at least give a reason for claiming Matt.24:14 has already been fulfilled. Jesus had already shown that "some will taste death after He comes in Kingdom Power" through the Two Prophets for 1260 days which end within four days of His Apocalyptic Presence. The fact that only "some" will still taste death indicates that "many who endure to the end will be saved" from God's wrath as well as from physical death! Mel. lastday.net. |

22 | Christ comes in kingdom power at the End | Mark 9:1 | Lastday | 99110 | ||
Hi Taleb, Jesus had to be talking about an existing 1260-day Endtime Period Temple if the 1260 days are literal 24-hour days. The texts in Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13:14 do not describe the destruction of the Temple in AD 70 as does Luke 21. Jesus ends the great tribulation period of 1260 days by giving "The Sign of the Day" of His Epiphany, the Day of His Apocalyptic Presence. The Abomination in the Temple begins the 3 1/2 times or 1290 days, cut short to 1260 days. On the Unknown Lastday, one of the 3 1/2 days the two Prophets lie dead on a street in Jerusalem, Christ will raise up every believer, including 144,000 Jews, then the Two Prophets, then the Elect whom He will gather together above from earth to heaven. All believers rise up on the same day, although each group in its "own order." I Cor.15:23. Revelation requires a third temple that John measured for its worshipers; but the outer court of that temple and Jerusalem itself will still be "trodden under the feet of Gentiles for 42 months. Rev.11:1,2. Hebrews quotes Jeremiah regarding the New Covenant for Israel and Judah that must still be fulfilled and which also requires a Millennial Temple. The New Covenant to which saved Jews and Gentiles now belong does not forbid a special aspect of the New Covenant for ethnic Israel when Messiah comes to redeem them and restore their Kingdom during which all mankind will "know the Lord." Heb.8:8-13. I discuss this interpretation only with those who agree these verses should be taken literally as of the Millennial role of Israel at the head of all the nations for 1000 years until the "sheep and goat nations" are separated.

23 | shall not taste of death till they see | Mark 9:1 | Lastday | 99083 | ||
Candy Lee, I have waited to answer because Luke 9:27 must be linked to the 1260 days of Kingdom Power of Mark 9:1, Matt.16:28 and Rev.12:10. The other verses you give refer to what happens on the Day Christ comes in Person. "Some must still taste death AFTER they have seen the Kingdom of God coming in Power" for 1260 days by the Two Prophets of Rev.11:3-11. When these two "finish their 1260-day task" and while they lie dead on a street of Jerusalem for up to 3 1/2 days, "some" must still be prepared to die. When Jesus said that only the Father knows the Day and Hour of His coming, He was conscious of Rev.6:9-11 allowing that only the Father knows the HOUR the last martyr will be killed in order for His wrath to avenge their blood on the Lastday. But this Hour also comes on one of those 3 1/2 days since Jesus must raise these two up on the same day that He raises up all/every believer; on the last day ... on a day immediately after the great tribulation. John 6:38-40, Mark 13:24, Matt.24:29. It is so interesting to me that Jesus will know the Day has come only when "a voice coming out of the Temple, from the Throne, declares: "It is Done." Rev.16:17. For with the last plague emptied, "God's anger will be exhausted." (New Jerusalem Bible). Rev.6:12-17 follows 16:12-17!! With that voice from the Thone, the Lamb will open Seal Six showing the Day of Wrath has come. But He must wait for the unknown HOUR of God's wrath until the Lamb rescues the 144,000 from Mt. Zion and they present the Son of Man and sing the Song of the Lamb before the Ancient of Days and the Court sits in judgment on the Beast. Read Dan.7:13,22 and Seal 7, both of which describe the same scene. Mel |

24 | Christ comes in kingdom power at the End | Mark 9:1 | Lastday | 99081 | ||
Hi mommapbs, We all focus on the length of time just as that was Daniel's primary question and the answer was "sealed until the time of the End." He kept seeking more info until he was told the End of the "purging and purifying for many" would be encompassed within 1290 days. Dan.12:11 Jesus calls this the great tribulation and states that, at the abomination in the Temple, we will "know the End is near." So what matters depends on this sign to begin with. I find five Catalysts of this Endtime period. The first requires the "rule of Babylon the Great over the kings of the earth" because Ten Kings will destroy the city in one hour before Antichrist "takes peace from the earth." Mel |

Candy Lee, I think you are beginning to see that the 1260 "days" of great tribulation must climax with Christ's visible return from heaven ... that is "in the days immediately thereafter." There is no setting of 1260 years that began with the "abomination in the Temple" which qualify as being the days in which those who "see that abomination" may survive to the End while seeing all these things being fulfilled and while the Jews await the Messiah. Neither that "Generation" nor those living during those days will pass away before all these things are finished. Mel |

26 | Christ comes in kingdom power at the End | Mark 9:1 | Lastday | 99079 | ||
Candy Lee, Thanks for your question showing you may be open to the fact that Jesus began and then concluded the great tribulation period (of 1260 days) with the "abomination in the Temple and His coming in glory in the days after that tribulation." Mark 13:24-27; Matt.24:29-31. Confusion comes from failing to recognize that only Luke describes a "surrounding of Jerusalem by armies and the exile of Israel into all nations until Gentile Times are finished!" Jesus, in Luke's account, does not give the Sign of His Epiphany until those (3 1/2) times are completed and that sign agrees with "the Sign" which Mark and Matthew place "immediately after the great tribulation" of 1260 days. So it is wrong to suggest that Jesus came in the days after AD 70. The Sign given by Mark and Matthew (Rev.6:12-17) occurs "in the days after" the completion of 1260 days that begin with a not yet built third Temple. It will be measured for the altar and worshipers (Rev.11:1,2) but Jerusalem will be "trodden under the feet of Gentiles for 1260 days" until the Beast kills the Two Prophets and they, for up to 3 more days (Rev.11:7-12), lie dead in Jerusalem while "some must still taste death" (Mark 9:1) until the last martyr, according to Rev.6:9-11, determines the hour has come to avenge their blood.

27 | Why will God judge the church? | 1 Pet 4:17 | Lastday | 99078 | ||
mommapbs, The term "pre-wrath" is misleading. The only true pre-wrath position is that which recognizes God's wrath does not occur until Christ appears in glory. That occurs after heaven's only announcment that "God's wrath has come." Rev.11:18. This announcement is made when the Temple is "open" (Rev.11:19) and "no one can enter the Temple in heaven until the last plague of God's anger has emptied in the air". Rev.15:8.

mommaphs, The believers who escape God's wrath include every one of them who survives to the Day of Christ's Epiphany. Therefore, as John wrote, the "plagues complete (exhaust) God's anger" and "God's wrath has come" only at the 7th Trumpet which sounds "in the days after chronos in no longer and God's mystery was finished."

29 | Why will God judge the church? | 1 Pet 4:17 | Lastday | 99076 | ||
Hi, God will judge the Church first because its members are not only washed in the blood of the Lamb, but those who do not overcome (including those guilty of adultery) will be "cast into great tribulation to be killed." Rev.2:22-24. Jesus is not coming for a Church whose members are not totally worthy and "unashamed of Him." That is why Mark 9:1 must be part of the text that ends with Mark 8:38 and its requirement that we be worthy of Christ at His coming in glory. Robert Stephanus, in 1550, wrongly put Mark 9:1 with what happened a week after its truth was declared!! Mel at www.lastday.net and lastday1@cox.net |

30 | Why have the Millennial Kingdom? | Rev 20:6 | Lastday | 99075 | ||
Hi, God will not destroy all of unbelieving mankind when Jesus comes. All Israel will be saved on that Day. Why? Because all those of the "nations that are left who come against Jerusalem must come to Jerusalem to worship the Lord annually." Zech.14:16. Again, wherever unbelieving Twosomes are found, "one will be fed to the birds" and the "one who is willing to die will be kept alive." Luke 17:30,33,37. After two-thirds of mankind are killed in the sixth Trumpet, up to one half of the 800 million Muslims who survive may be "kept alive." Their offspring, as well as those of 2000 million from other peoples who survive, will produce either sheep or goat nations who will be separated at the End of the Millennium. I emphasize Muslims because the descendants of the twelve Tribes of Ishmael are due to be "blessed through Israel's natural seed" to completely fulfill God's promise to Abraham.

31 | What does Jeremiah 31:31-34 refer to? | Jer 31:34 | Lastday | 99074 | ||
Hi, The New Covenant for today includes all who believe in Christ whether Jew or Gentile. But the New Covenant of Jeremiah and Heb.8:8-13 and Rom.11:27 applies in a special sense to all of ethnic Israel who survive on the Day of Christ's Epiphany. God will keep His promise to (continue) to bless all the nations through the restoration of Israel during the Millennium. Those who reject the need for and reality of a 1000 year reign of Christ over all nations after He comes in glory use the argument that the New Covenant exclusively refers to the benefits of the Cross for Believers ... but only until Christ comes a second time. Paul clearly states that the Covenant will accrue to Israel when Messiah comes out of Zion and God remembers their sins no more. There is no way that it can be said, prior to the return of Christ, that "all know the Lord." Mel, www.lastday.net or lastday1@cox.net |

32 | Christian message for all-New Testament | Luke 21:24 | Lastday | 99037 | ||
This theme is developed by Paul in Rom.11:25-27 where Israel will participate in a New Covenant which I believe includes but goes beyond the New Covnenat we and O. T. Saints share because of the Cross. The New Covenant, according to Heb.8:8-13, includes the restoration of both Houses of Israel and Judah. The quotation from Jeremiah must be fulfilled when God "remembers the sins of Israel no more" and the knowledge of the Lord spreads through Israel so that even the promise to Abraham to bless all nations will be fulfilled, including 800 million surviving Muslims, descendants of the tribes of Ishmael. The sheep and goat nations, separated at the end of the Millennium, will be formed after Christ comes to "redeem Israel and restore their kingdom." Luke 21:28,31. Mel www.lastday.net |

33 | Luke 21:24 - Restoration of Israel ????? | Luke 21:24 | Lastday | 99035 | ||
If Israel had "all of her land" as Searcher assumes, why are they building fences? Ezekiel 38,39 describe a time of "peace in which they dwell securely without fences," but that peace will be "taken away by the rider on the Red Horse" of Rev.6:3,4. Israel will not totally control Jerusalem until Christ destroys their enemies when they invade the land to "make war against the Lamb." Rev.17:14. Mel www.lastday.net | ||||||
34 | What do you believe that this refers to | Luke 21:24 | Lastday | 99034 | ||
Some think this verse was fulfilled (completed) in 1948 or 1967 when Israel declared its statehood or when she captured Jerusalem. But Dan.12:11, Matt.24:15, Rev.11:1,2, Zech.14:1-16 show that Jerusalem will not be totally returned to Israel until Christ's Epiphany and Presence. Only one third of Israel will come through the fires of great tribulation before they recognize Messiah's actual Presence as the Hour when they will be "redeemed and their Kingdom restored." Luke 21:28,31. Mel www.lastday.net |

35 | Christian message for all-New Testament | Luke 21:24 | Lastday | 99032 | ||
I enthusiastically support your conclusion that Luke's message of hope, more so than that of Mark or Matthew, has all peoples in mind. This is seen in chapters 17 and 21. In verses 35 and 36 of both chapters we see Jesus concerned with those who will seek His mercy in order to be "kept alive" and to "escape all the things coming on all inhabitants of earth at His Apocalypse." Luke 17:30,33,35,36; Luke 21:35,36. Mel www.lastday.net. |

36 | The Ultimate Test of Worthiness | Rev 12:10 | Lastday | 98992 | ||
Will Christ's coming in Kingdom Power for 1260 days through the Two Witnesses be the final testing time for Believers to prove they are worthy of Him? Mark 8:38, Mark 9:1, I Thes.3:13. If so, Jesus has prepared them in advance for the ultimate test. Because some of those who survive to the End "must taste death during the few days after the great tribulation" while waiting for the Day of His Epiphany when He will raise up every Overcomer for a special reward.

37 | Post-Endtime Martyrs | Mark 9:1 | Lastday | 98896 | ||
I have wondered if any reader picked up on my premise that "some of those who will not taste death, by any means" has reference to the 3 1/2 days that remain after the 1260-day Endtime when Christ comes in Kingdom Power through the Two Witnesses (Prophets). Mel lastday.net | ||||||

CL, Do you really think the Beast will put Christians to death because they worship on Saturday instead of Sunday? The Martyrs will be killed for not worshiping the Beast, no matter what day of the week it may be. Mel |

EdB, I totally agree that “what is important is that Christ will return and one day rule with us at his side.” Do you however object that I “keep referring to a 1260-day endtime”? It will be interesting to discuss the first half of Daniel’s 70th Seven, but Jesus and Paul deal only with the “abomination in the Temple” during the second half of what we call the Great Tribulation. So, what ground do you have for affirming the Two Witnesses (Two Prophets) will “begin their ministry in the first 1260 days overlapping the last 1260”? Revelation states these Two “finish their 1260-day task” with only 3 ½ days remaining before “God’s mystery was finished in the days whenever the 7th Trumpet is about to sound.” With the 7th Trumpet, the countdown of 1260 days ends because no more than 3½ days remain. What evidence do you give that more than 3½ days separate “God’s wrath having come” and the time to “judge and reward the Saints and also to destroy those who are destroying the earth”? The Plagues must be emptied before the 7th Trumpet sounds because they only “complete God’s anger and demonstrate that God's deeds are righteous.” Rev.15:1,4. That anger “mixes full strength with His wrath” as of the 7th Trumpet when “time (chronos; not delay) is no longer.” Rev.10:6,7. Why do I insist that the Sign of the Day of God’s Wrath is Seal Six? Rev.6:16,17. Because Jesus put this sign of His coming “in the days immediately AFTER the great tribulation.” Mark 13:24,27; Matt.24:29-31. The only description of that sign in Revelation is Seal Six ... the same sign Isaiah and Joel said would inaugurate the day of destruction and/or deliverance. Mel |
