Bible Note: Tim Moran: As you know, I also WHOLEHEARTEDLY reject any view that says Christ returned in 70 A.D.! On the whole, I believe that if one takes Matthew 24 at face value, paying attention to both the details and the immediate context, its application and meaning is relatively plain and simple. It is only when we start with certain pre-conceived ideas and try to force the chapter to fit those ideas, that we make Matthew 24 say something other than what it plainly says. There are many prophecies that have both a near and a distant application or fulfillment. Some of the OT Messianic prophecies are in this category. I believe all of Matthew 24 refers to far distant events. Those parts that refer only to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. are history. As such, they should not be too hard to identify.
