Subject: What does Matthew 24: 28 mean? |
Bible Note: Hi Steve, thanks for writing your opinion. In ancient Babylon (Babel) the workers building the tower gradually abandoned their efforts to work together because their languages were confused. Today there are more than 22,000 different denominations of Christians, and essentially they have mostly abandoned any serious attempt to work together. Often hurches in the same city block, right across the street no nothing of each others programs or memberships, and do not co-operate in any way. I experienced that about three weeks ago when I visited two such churches on the same day,--on opposite sides of the same street, facing each other. Both had been there for years and yet they were all strangers and one member mentioned to me when he heard that I had just come from visiting the other church that he had never visited that denomination in his life and he asked me questions about what they believed. And concerning doctrines, members of the same congregation often manifest conflicting understanding of the same teachings. Echoes of Babel. In the light of those realities and in view of your comment that my understanding of certain prophecies can only be erroneous, perhaps you might be kind enough to direct me to that source which you believe to provide the accurate understanding. Becsuse, surely, those bereft of understanding of the signs which He provided for believers to recognize Him at His reappearance are bound to experience His "parousias" overtake tham as a "thief", exactly as He warned in Revelation chapters 3 and 16: "Look! I am coming as a thief." Cordially, Ross |
