Subject: What Jesus meant Matt 10:23.16:28 26:64 |
Bible Note: Well most people Believe this to be the rapture but its not its the parousia in greek or presence. The Disciples were familuar with Old Testament analogies. Such as Gods Judgement being seen by clouds in the air. When 70 AD rolled aorund they perieved that The Coming of Christ had happened. They did not see Jesus, they knew He was there because of the Old Testament analogies. Now we are waiting until the end of time for the Rapture of all people to be Judged. Matt 24 was fulfilled in 70 AD. Remember that the disciples asked Jesus about temple which was standing in 30 AD as they talked to Him. Not a futureistic Temple. And the Temple they talked about was indeed destroyed along with the Jewish Religion in 70 AD. Remember Daniels prophecy that the sacrifice shall Cease in chp 9. Its over for Israel. Christ even told the fig tree that it wont produce fruit forever. He meant forever. The Fig tree is a Biblical Representative for Israel. Deut 8:7-8 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; He GOD used the fig tree as a way to let Israel know if they were being Blessed or cursed by whether or not there figs were growing or not. Jer 5:17 And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword. Thanks RC love in Christ Jesus. History records all these facts and this point of view for 2 thousand yrs. Pre Trib has only been taught since its invention in 1830 AD. |
