A really necessary teaching because it adresses where the rubber hits the road for most Christians. Do we trust in our resources, the stability of our society or God. Chosing not to do so robs us of personal experience that God indeed honors his Word to the individual and will keep his promises to us even as all else fails.
*Luke 21:32* "Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled"...no _heartburn_ whatsoever, for the key to u/standing this verse if found in *Vs 31* where it says, "So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand". In o/words, the generation that witnesses all of these things (things yet to come in the future), is the generation that will see His return, i.e. His 2nd coming which is 7 yrs after the rapture.

It is indisputable that the Bible says that the prophecies of the Olivet Discourse occurred in AD 70. ... Not "7 yrs after the rapture."

@@Kman. Nope. Not my word. THE WORD: First, all rational people agree that God's Temple was destroyed in 70AD as Jesus predicted (Mt 24:2). The disciples asked when will the Temple be destroyed & in the same timeframe He [Jesus] would return. (v.3). Jesus goes on to describe numerous events that will occur up to v. 35. In v.33, Jesus says "you see ALL these things." ALL not SOME. ALL these things in one package. The destruction of God's Temple is part of the ALL Event (judgment of Israel). (Jesus' words were witnessed by Matthew & Luke.) Second, Paul wrote, "Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" ... "that day will not come until the rebellion occurs [AD 66] and the man of lawlessness is revealed ... he set's himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God [AD 70]." (2Th2:1-5). That could only occur while God's Temple was standing (up to AD70). (Witnessed by Paul) Third, Non-Biblical witnesses Josephus and Tacitus wrote of Jesus' Return in AD70.

@@Yela927 i have since upgraded my position to Post-mil. As scripture says- Jesus reigns until all enemies are put under his feet, the last enemy to be defeated is death. Death is defeated on the last day, which is when Jesus returns to judge the living and the dead and all God’s elect receive their glorified bodies. As far as the physical earth, idk what will be done with it.
