Subject: What does Matthew 24: 28 mean? |
Bible Note: Ross: I would agree with you in that for the Christians you quote, the meaning of those verses is "neither apparent to the senses nor obvious to the intelligence." Sincerely I thank you for sharing what all those different churches had to say. To me that is truly fascinating. The reason is that while I have read different denominational views, especially here on the forum, I have not actually visited the services of that many denominations. I'm rather limited in first hand knowledge of what is actually taught in various churches at the local level. I don't know how to ask this. I mean absolutely no offense here. I am not implying anything. But I am curious: do you balance visiting other churches with your own personal Bible study? I.e., do you search the Scriptures after you've visited a church so that you can determine whether the things you heard are so? The reason I ask is that I have half a dozen study Bibles. The notes in those study Bibles are not inspired -- I know, I know. Yet I do not find in them a half dozen different interpretations of those two verses in Matthew 24. In each case the authors/editors of these study notes do what we all should do -- they follow the principle that we know what the Bible means by what it says. As a result, there is a general agreement among them on what those two verses mean. Again, please don't misunderstand. I am not implying that you do not do your own independent Bible study. I have no way of knowing that. You obviously have a keen interest in the Word of God and have given much thought to it. Grace to you, kalos |
