61 | Christ comes in kingdom power at the End | Mark 9:1 | Lastday | 99080 | ||
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 |

62 | 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 |

63 | 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 |

64 | 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.

65 | Christ comes in kingdom power at the End | Mark 9:1 | Lastday | 99152 | ||
Dear Taleb, I gave the same evidence that Jesus, Daniel, Paul and Revelation give to require the building of a third Temple. If the "abomination standing in the holy place" is not the Temple that exists during the 1260-day Endtime, then we should not discuss the issue because it leads to mutual recriminations and unhealthy feelings. I note you also avoided answering my question. I asked for reasons that Matt.24:14 has already been fulfilled. If the End here spoken of has occurred, as you claim, then what was the Sign of Christ's literal Presence after the greatest tribulation of all time? Regarding that Sign, Jesus said: "You will know the End and My coming is Near, even at the doors." I cannot dialogue with one who thinks Jesus personally came in glory as of AD 70. If you are a full Preterist, as you seem to be, then of course you believe Christ and the End have already come. If so, and respectfully, I have no personal desire to continue a dialogue. Mel |

66 | Prospects for Sheep and | Mark 9:1 | Lastday | 99211 | ||
Since many Believers who survive until after Christ comes in kingdom power for 1260 days and are then taken to safety, what hope is there for unbelievers who survive? Will they become the sheep and goat nations during the Millennium? | ||||||
67 | Question on Matthew 16:28 | Mark 9:1 | Lastday | 124570 | ||
Dalilah, I don't know if you are still there after so long, but verse 27 shows the context in which some will not taste death is when Jesus is "about to come in glory." But the first word in the verse, "about," may not be translated. Please go to www.lastday.net and click on Meditations for my view. Mel Miller |

68 | 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. |

69 | 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 |

70 | 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 | ||||||
71 | 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 |

72 | 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. |

73 | Is Matthew 24:14 almost fulfilled yet? | Col 1:23 | Lastday | 99112 | ||
Good response, CDBJ This announcement that the HOUR of God's anger filled Cup of wrath has come (14:10) shows that Rev.14 takes place as part of 100 verses in Revelation that will be fulfilled on the Day Christ comes in glory. See Centerpiece at www.lastday.net. The admonishment to "fear God" shows there is still hope for all those who cry out for God's mercy and "beg to escape all these things." Luke 21:36. Mel |

74 | Holy Place - holy place? | Heb 9:2 | Lastday | 99155 | ||
mommapbs, If the Elect of Matt.24, as you believe, are the Jews only, then why would Jesus gather only the Jews "together above from the extremities of earth to the extremities of heaven in the days after the Great Tribulation" (Mark 13:24,27) and why send the angels to then "gather none but the Jews out of the four wind directions from all the extremities of the heavenS" (plural)? Matt.24:29,31. Why would He gather only the Jews from earth to heaven and leave surviving non-Jewish Believers behind during the "hour of trial that comes on all the inhabitants of all the earth"??? Rev.3:10, Luke 21:35. Do you wish the righteous to remain on earth during that Hour when earthquakes cause the mountains and cities of earth to disappear? Rev.16:18-21. Mel |
||||||
75 | Holy Place - holy place? | Heb 9:2 | Lastday | 99170 | ||
Mommapbs, If you believe the Rapture occurs before the great tribulation, you must also accept that, in the days immediately thereafer, Jesus will also "gather the Elect together above, from all the extremities of earth unto heaven, and will send the angels to gather them out of the four wind directions of all the extremities of the heavens." That is His promise in Mark 13:24,27 and Matt.24:29-31. But since this gathering occurs after the 1260 Endtime days, God's Day of Wrath cannot begin until the Lamb opens Seal 6 (Prior to Act One of the Open Temple) and the Hour of wrath cannot begin until He opens Seal 7 (Prior to Act Three of Trump 7 where alone God's wrath is announced from heaven as having come). Seal 7 describes the same Tribunal and Verdict as found in Dan.7:9-22 after the Lamb rescues the 144,000 from Mt. Zion and they "come with Him on the clouds of heaven to present Him as the worthy Son of Man by singing the new song of the Lamb on that Day. Dan.7:13, Rev.14:3,4, Rev.15:3,4. The Lamb rescues them and they present the Son of Man before God in song and then the Court sits in judgment on the Beast. The 7th Trumpet itself does not sound that God's wrath has come until the 7th Bowl Plague empties into the air, for no one enters the Temple prior to the last Plague. Rev.15:8. The Plagues do not complete God's wrath. They had already exhausted His anger. See New Jerusalem Bible on Rev.15:1. God's anger must mix full strength in the Cup of Wrath (14:10) after the Tribunal of Seal 7 and Dan.7 and after martyrs sing that the plagues had already completed God's anger, aorist tense! That's when the Temple opens with "after these things, I looked and behold ..." Rev.15:5. The action in the Temple begins instantly with the same expression in 7:9: "after these things, I looked and behold." All those having been killed and having "come out of the great tribulation" (the 144,000 at Rev.14:1-5, all the martyrs from under the Altar according to 7:14 and the Two Prophets raised up at 11:12) enter the Temple and praise God and the Lamb by name for the first time. 7:9-17! The Testimony of Act One (7:9-17) is anticipated in Rev.15:5. Act Two, the Tribunal of Seal 7 with its Verdict of Fire and Act Three, the Triumph of Trump 7 with Christ's coronation, immediately follow with the proclamation that God's wrath has come. Revelation is not written as a chronological unfolding of events. God's wrath is limited to the Cup of Anger and Wrath poured out during the Hour of Trial on all the inhabitants of earth and on the wicked gathered to Armageddon. Rev.3:10, 14:10, Luke 21:35. The only combined execution of "anger and wrath" mentioned in the Greek is at Rev.16:19-21 and 19:15-21. Mel |

76 | Holy Place - holy place? | Heb 9:2 | Lastday | 99207 | ||
Mommaps, It is true that God will destroy all the wicked sinners on the Day of the Lord. These wicked ones "refuse to repent" during the trumpet and plague judgments. They include the 200 million soldiers who come from the East and kill a third of mankind just before entering the Holy Land to "make war against the Lamb." Rev.9:15, 17:14. If they kill 2 billion people over a "quarter" of the earth's surface (Seal 4), that means up to 800 million Muslims (descendants of Ishmael's 12 tribes) suddenly bow down as Christ comes with all the Saints. (This is not to mention the rest of the 4 billion people who survive the Holocaust of the 6th Trumpet.) What happens to the 800 million Muslems if they "beg to escape all these things and to stand before the Son of Man"? Luke 21:36. This verse cannot apply to believers because they will all be overcomers and fully prepared for Christ's coming. I believe those Jesus urges to beg to escape all that happens on the sun-darkened day He appears applies primarily to Jews when they "mourn" and the entire remnant of one third who survive will be saved, but not "gathered together above." Zech.12:10, Zech.13:8,9, Joel 2:32, Matt.24:30, Rev.1:7, Rom.11:26, Heb.8:8-13. Now, I realize the Jewish remnant and the 800 million Muslims are left behind during the Hour of Trial from which all Believers will be kept through the Rapture. Jesus offers hope of being preserved (Lk.17:33) to "all who are willing to die." They will be "kept alive" (same word used of Moses kept alive in the Nile River basket). Now consider the setting pictured by Jesus wherever there are "Twosomes. One will be taken and one left." Both are unbelievers since no Believer will suffer judgment or be left behind. The two working by "day" are on the opposite side of the earth to those who are in bed at "night." So this is a global picture of millions wherein half of the 4 billion who survive could cry out for mercy. The destruction coming "as it was in the days of Noah" need not apply to the millions being left behind! God will "preserve" every one who is not "fed to the birds." Luke 17:37, Matt.24:28, Rev.19:17-21. Now for the great masses who exist at the end of the 1000 years. They are divided between "sheep and goat" nations which form as a result of the Jews being at the head of the nations, of the stipulated necessity for all "those left behind" (Zech.14:16; Rev.15:4) to come annually to Jerusalem to worship the Lord and to fulfill the New Covenant embraced by Israel (Heb.8:8-13). By this the "knowledge of the Lord will so cover the earth so that all will know the Lord." Now what is the purpose for the New Earth at the end of the Millennium? Jesus will separate the sheep nations from the goats and cast the latter into Hell. The sheep nations will "inherit the kingdom forever" (to fulfill the eternal kingdom promised to the natural descendants of Abraham and to fulfill the Davidic Covenant) Matt.25:34. God will have an "earthly people" living on the New Earth (only the Bride inhabits the New Jerusalem) who will "bring their honor and glory into the New Jerusalem" during the eternal state. Their "healing" will be maintained by the same leaves of the Tree of Life after they come into the New City as that required during the Millennium itself. Ezek.47:12, Rev.21:24-26, Rev.22:2. Where else could enough mortals be found to produce as many as the "sands of the sea" for the final battle of Gog and Magog when the 1000 years are finished? By the way, the 1000 years cannot begin until "all the martyrs come out from the Great Tribulation" and learn that they alone will "serve God day and night as pillars in the Temple of heaven for 1000 years." So the 1000 years are not finished until they enjoy the identical blessings of the New Jerusalem for 1000 years in advance of that enjoyed by all the Bride through eternity. Rev.3:10, Rev.7:15-17; Rev.20:4,5, Rev.21:4. My friend, the Martyrs win the highest reward available to the Church. Jesus promises they will receive the name of God, the name of the New Jerusalem that later comes down out of heaven and "My new name." What an incentive for Believers to "love not their life unto death" and especially for the "few (some) who must taste death" for up to three final days while the Two Prophets lie dead ... waiting for the last martyr to be killed before "God judges and avenges their blood." Rev.6:9-11. Mel www.lastday.net, lastday1@cox.net |

77 | 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 |

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."

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.
