Subject: EXPLAIN MATTHEW 24 VS. 1-10 |
Bible Note: stj, That word did not originate with me. I wonder if you even know what it means. When Satan suffered a defeat and God's enemies were destroyed there was no shame if the first century christians felt vindicated. Would you have preferred if God had went back on His promises and allowed the temple, priests and sacrificial system to continue? 2 Thess 1:6 since indeed God considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you, 7and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels 8in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. God inflicted vengeance on the first century unbelieving Jews at the destruction of Jerusalem, is that offensive to you? I would say that "vengeance" is a much stronger word than "vindicated"! Another nice try, but I really don't see where you're coming from. It appears you're just lashing out and I'll be surprised if you're not reprimanded by the moderator! Coper |
