Bible Question (short): Why 70 AD. and why predictions? |
Question (full): Hello Coper, Following this post has raised some questions. Would you please answer them so I will be able to understand better? Why 70 AD? The temple was not the earthly dwelling place of God. We the believers are from Pentecost on, no need for one made of stone. The priesthood-Jesus Christ is our high priest and advocate at the Fathers right hand. The sacrifices- Jesus paid that at the cross. The veil was torn from the top to the bottom at His death. All of these happen before 70 AD. You seem to view Matt 16:24 as a prediction that Jesus did know when He was coming back. What about Matt. 24:36, Mark 13:32,( only the Father knows ). As John was the only one that was alive in 70 AD. which would mean that he alone would have seen the Coming. How do you explain 'some'? Matt. 24:34 No predictions, He did not know. Would not generations be defined as progeny rather than a time frame? In the Quest of Truth, Brian |
