“The End of the Age” and the Fall of Jerusalem (Matthew 24)

[@pamelabrewer2720]

I have never heard anyone teach like this. It all makes perfect sense. Irvine Baxter was one that used to believe pretrib,then said most had already taken place, and that we were in the endtimes. The way you detail it is amazing.

[@tedbrooks-formerwordoffait1316]

I've listened to several of your videos... good to see the path you are on.... so encouraging. Back a few months ago, your video on Falling Stars... you are so, so, close... keep going deeper. Your attitude towards the prophetic nature of God's words is good. I have been saying similar things in my videos. I studied the words, sun, moon, stars. These are symbols of leadership, rulers, patriarchs, and men in leading roles over God's people. So... the seven stars in Revelation include the pastors in the seven churches, but other stars also refer to those who guide the people of God into false teachings.... those are the fallen stars. Your approach is on the right track... we need to understand the prophetic, parabolic, and spiritual meaning of the imagery featured throughout the Bible. I know we are tempted to understand some images as spiritual and other images carnally. This is constantly what I hear from leaders. They seem to accept some parabolic language as spiritual. But the parabolic imagery they don't understand, they tend to carnalize or literalize those words. Much more understanding is waiting for us... such an exciting time to be alive.

Hi Doug, Thank you for these lessons. I've just started listening to you over the Christmas holiday. In my Christian walk there have been a few times where I've had paradigm shifts in my understanding. Coming from a Catholic background one of them was understanding that my good works do not earn my salvation, but rather is evidence of it. This "end times" teaching is another paradigm shift for me. My question is, what is the biblical understanding of the time or age we're currently living in and it's end? Thanks again for your videos. I'm hoping to be able to join you Monday live. God bless you.

My seasoned Bible study teacher told me to review the profits for a year before studying Matthew 24, Luke 21, mark 13 and revelation to have a clarity on the terminology in the New Testament. that was the best advice I ever got I see Eye with you Doug on what you believe. I’m excited to finally find a teacher who believes the same as I do.

Has anyone ever mentioned that Luke:21:11 is about the future, but Vs:12 is about the Apostles in Jerusalem right after Stephen was killed. Vs:24 is about Rome surrounding Jerusalem in 70AD? Lu:21:11: And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Lu:21:12: But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. . . Lu:21:20: And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Lu:21:21: Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. Lu:21:22: For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. Lu:21:23: But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. Lu:21:24: And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. Lu:21:25: And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; The most important part of the above is the creation of, 'the time of the Gentiles'. The beginning of Re:11 starts when there are 42 months left of that era. It begins the day trump1 sounds. De:4:26: I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed. De:4:27: And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.

There is a great paper written in 1805 called destruction of Jerusalem by Holford. it reviews the ancient writers improves that Matthew 24 spoken about the destruction of Jerusalem and 78 A.D. proving that Jesus spoke truth in Matthew 24, Luke 21 and Mark 13 proving Christianity true. what was interesting was the Christians escaped to a mountain city called Pella, when the Roman armies retreated for a coronation ceremony

[@mikeheath8318]

Did you skip over Matt 24:31 or did I miss it somehow?

[@timharvey4838]

Also the resurrection theme is a head-scratcher. It's there in Daniel 12v2, also in Isaiah 25v8/26v19 which also seems linked to the destruction of Israel and arrival of the kingdom. Yet I see the first fruits of resurrection typified in Lazarus, Jesus etc and 1 Corinthians 15 (which cites Isaiah 25v8) as physical body renewal. So that might be a good mini-series suggestion!

[@tulkasetorome]

Pastor, though I have not finished this entire series, I have yet to hear you reference Ps 110 in the context of The Kingdom. It is clear (to me) that the first verse must refer to Adonai (Father?) and Messiach (AMP). Therefore, the timeframe for what follows up post ascension. If so, "the mountain that covers the whole earth" is a perfect fit with "sit at My right hand while I make Your enemies Your footstool." Am I wrong? Thanks for great, reasoned discussion!

What is your interpretation of those raising from the dust in Daniel 12:2 and the angels gathering the elect in Matthew 24. I know that is a big difference between partial preterism and full preterism. Like I said before I'm fairly new at this understanding and would consider myself partial preterist at this point. Thanks for the series.

Da:11:3 is referencing the 5th trump, that is when Satan and the Beast from the Pit begin a period of rule that last 42 months. They only rule over Jerusalem during the 4 days the two witnesses are dead. Da:11:31 is referencing Satan's false throne from 2Thees:2. Da:11:32 is where the two witnesses testimony begins. The last verse in Da:11 is referencing the 7 vials that are poured out within 4 hours of their resurrection. The first 3 verse from Da:12 are part of the same passage. As soon as the vials have been poured out the Re:20:4 resurrections will begin. The 144,000 are joined by the ones Eze:37 is referencing, combined they are 'the whole House of Israel' referenced in Eze:39. Da:12:1: And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. Da:12:2: And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Eze:37:11-14: Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD. 'One end of heaven to the other' is a reference to the 'sons of God' in this verse. The fallen angels from Ge:6 and Satan will be missing. The 2/3 that did not sin are gathered, witness the destruction of the fallen ones and then ascent to their promised 'new heaven', one they never leave. The barren world in the universe will have the ones gathered at the Great White Throne event will be given in marriage and each couple will be given a home like Eden was at the end of day1 of creation. The task is for them and their children to make the universe as full of life as Even was at the end of the creation days. The new earth verses in Isa:65 apply to them. The perfected men below are the people who were alive for the 1,000 years, this is them on their way to New Jerusalem before that judgment starts: Heb:12:22-2: But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

[@ChristCenteredEschatology]

Matthew 23:39 does not mean that the Jews would not see Jesus again until they accepted as the Messiah, Jesus is telling them that He will return in judgement on one of the pilgrim feast days, which is when they would have sung those words. The Jews sang those word during the triumphant entry and yet they ended crying out crucify him: Matthew 21:9 Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: “Hosanna to the Son of David! ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ Hosanna in the highest!” Mark 15:13 So they cried out again, “Crucify Him!”

[@lomejordever]

Pastor Doug, can you please explain the vision of Daniel clay mixed with iron… thank you.

[@waynegabler6570]

1:00 the visions and explanations in Da:7 and Re:17 is a great way to start meshing the two books as the 10 men mentioned are the same 10 men. The curse at the end of Matt:23 came as the abominations mentioned in Da:2:27 that begins when the 2nd half of the 70 weeks began. That began the day John was called in 26AD and ended 3 hours before Passover began in 30AD as that is the moment Jesus died. The 'little horn' verse from Da:8 is about Romes full 500 year rule over Jerusalem (63BC-450AD) That point alone show any 7 year trib is a false doctrine. The 'he' in that verse then goes back to it being God when He called John the Baptist: Da:9:4: And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; Da:9:27: And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Mal:3:1: Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. Lu:3:1: Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, Lu:3:2: Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. Joh:1:6: There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. Joh:1:7: The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. Joh:1:8: He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. Da:8:9-12: And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. ((direction between Rome and Jerusalem)) And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; ((controlled Jerusalem 63BC-450AD)) and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. ((Rome killed Paul and Peter)) Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, ((Pontus trial of Jesus)) and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, ((Romes role in His death)) and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. ((70AD reference Luke:21:24 prophecy)) And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, ((prayer)) and it cast down the truth to the ground; ((true Bible in 323AD, translations by 450AD)) and it practised, ((the RCC)) and prospered. ((the 1611KJV show the true message did survive, it is available today)) There is a long explanation that shows all of Rome takes place in the brass, the iron/clay only begins when the 42 months in Revelation starts. Re:9:11: And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. Da:8:23: And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. Da:8:24: And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. The two witnesses control Jerusalem for all except the last 4 days of the Beast's 42 months. Da:11:2: And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia. Da:11:3: And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will. Da:11:4: And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those. . . Da:11:31: And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. . . Da:11:45: And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. The 12 books listed after Daniel should be searched for the term, 'day of the lord', each of those references are about Jesus returning and ending the iron/clay kingdom. The last few verses of Zec:13 show the ration of people the 7vials kill, that means Zec:14 is about the 1,000-year reign where people are immortal beings, rather than mortal like we are today.

[@t.scottmajor1316]

Someone else mentioned it below, but what are your thoughts on Matthew 24:31?

[@ChristCenteredEschatology]

Matthew 24:31 is the resurrection. It is the harvest of Matthew 3:12 and Matthew 13. It is also the same event as 1 Thessalonians 4 & 5 and 1 Corinthians 15, all of which were to be fulfilled in the lifetime of the first century Christians (1 Thess. 4:15 & 17, 1 Cor. 15:51-52, Matthew 24:32-34).

[@murndak]

I'm in that minority boat with you. Dr. Ken Gentry wrote his dissertation about this subject and subsequently published it as a book called Before Jerusalem Fell. Compelling arguments for the earlier date which a growing number of scholars say is between 65-68AD.

[@minimations8697]

Can you give some insight on Acts 1:6-7? In my opinion, I don’t think Jesus was affirming “when” Israel would be restored, but “IF” the Father chooses to restore Israel, and that is His decision. But I may be wrong.

[@drewdouglas1844]

You are correct, it is not a prophetic statement, especially when followed by a direct command to go into all nations and subdue them for Christ's Kingdom. Pair this with Acts 7, there is a very clear intention. Contend as well all manner of Jew is rabble rousing at this time to seize and createt heir new kingdom as they would attempt within 40 years time. At what point does Paul ever confirm or support their actions. In this context Review Romans 13. A major contention of the jews was being ruled by non jews, is Paul not expressly rejecting their view?

[@timharvey4838]

Too many questions to type here! Interesting that you take Jesus 'coming' to be upward to the Father here. Although I see this in Daniel, I wonder whether there is both a coming to the Father to receive the kingdom (ascension?), and then a coming back to judge his servants as in Luke 19v12 (AD70). In that parable, the 'distant country' indicates a lengthy period between the two (AD33-70). I guess Daniel was in heaven in his vision so from his perspective the coming was to heaven. For the Jews, he was coming from heaven e.g. Isaiah 26v21.

[@62TBirdMan]

Yes, my question about Mat 24:30 is, “Who is seeing the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power?” If it is the 12 tribes, or the tribes of the earth, then that was the second coming.

The 12 books listed after Daniel in the 1611KJV have prophecies that only deal with the transition that comes from Jesus pouring out all 7 vials. 2 example of verses that lead the reader to long passages, Zep:1:15: That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, Ho:4:3: Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.

[@royalpriest89]

The coming in 70AD was the Second Coming.

[@waynegabler6570]

@@royalpriest89 70AD was Rome completing a mission for God. Luke:21:12-24 is the Apostles in Jerusalem between Stephen being killed and Rome surrounding the city in 70AD. The Bible was not completed before 100AD, Jesus was not back at that time. Revelation is 'the letter' mentioned in 2Thess:2. This is 70AD: De:4:26-28: I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed. And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you. And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. So is this: Eze:36:16-21: Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman. Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it: And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them. And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land. But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went. Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. The creation of 'the time of the Gentiles' began in 70AD, in the reference below it is picked up again when the trumps start sounding: Re:11:1-2: And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. The Bible made it around the world only in about 1950, the abomination can only be done when the two witnesses are dead in the streets of Jerusalem: M't:24:14-15: And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Da:11:31: And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

[@Kameradschaft]

One of the impressions I got over the years was that not much of significance happened with regards to prophecy after Jesus ascended. The church grew by leaps and bounds, of course, but it seems a whole lot was happening with the closing of that age of the people of Daniel. The advent of the new covenant wasn't just a legal filing at the local notary public. Also, it seems, now that I'm no longer a dispensationalist that there isn't that much detail given to the actual end. I see Satan is loosed for a time, there's an aposty, things go down hill fast, then booooom, done.

If you look at the 70 weeks in Da:9 they are divided int 3 groups, a group of 7 sevens, a group of 62 sevens, and a group of 1 seven. 2 passed, the 70th week began when John the Baptist was called in 12AD. 3 1/2 years later Jesus dies and came back as an immortal king, 3 1/2 yaers after that Acts:10 unfolded. The last act for 'His people' was to make all Gentile food clean. The next event had Peter teaching Gentiles about the Gospels. The time, times, 1/2 time in Da:7 is referencing the 3 1/2 days the two witnesses are dead in the streets of Jerusalem, this verse also references them: Da:11:32: And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. Re:11:4: These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. Re:11:5: And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

Ephesians 2:19-22. We are living stones (1Pet. 2:5) being built up into a building which is a holy temple, the dwelling place of God. Jesus also refers to Himself as a temple. So the spiritual temple you hear about is a building. Jesus being the cornerstone with the apostles and prophets as the foundation. No more physical temple.

[@waynegabler6570]

Satan needs a temple to be able to sit on a false throne. Satan only has control of Jerusalem for the 4 days the two witnesses are in the grave. They erect tents like Moses did. The image in Re:13 is the abomination mentioned in Matt:24 and Da:11:31 is a 'false throne'. The real throne is in the Re:4 Temple, it will be in the Temple Jesus builds, it is the 'house' from Eze:47:1.

For example, Moses states the law to the Jews:thou shalt not steal; In Matthew, Jesus reaffirms it to the Jews of his day: thou shalt not steal, Mat 19:18 Using Doug's logic, I can steal, because that was for the Jews at that time, and not me. He almost sounds like a Dispensationalist. His referencing of Ezekiel 39 is very strange. It's about God giving Israel a great victory; what has that to do with the defeat of 70 AD?? Isaiah 13 is about Babylon, the first five verses. But then it telescopes to the Day of the Lord. The sun didn't go out then, the moon didn't stop shining and the stars didn't stop shining then. Babylon is still inhabited to this day, so its extermination of its population didn't happen yet. God hasn't punished the world yet. Continuing, the people then didn't see. the Son of Man coming with power and great glory. This generation will not pass till all these things take place. The problem is this generation has to SEE ALL THESE THINGS; all they saw was the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans. Nothing else. The Jews are back in their land of Israel. Maybe there's more to this story. Maybe a future.

Coming of the Son of Man does not mean coming to the Ancient of Days. You're basing your position off of a faulty Masoretic Text translation of Daniel 7.

[@TrademarkTaylor]

If Matthew 24:28 (birds circling) & Ezekiel 39 (birds eating flesh of mighty captains) are all about the same 70AD situation... Then it conflicts with Revelation 19:17 calling for the birds to gather for the great supper to eat flesh of kings. And Revelation 19:21 confirms the birds are full after the Beast (antichrist) tries to make war with the Lamb. This is CLEARLY not 70AD because the antichrist did not fight Jesus and lose at that time. The Ezekiel 39 reference was a surprise to me. 70AD was a time of destruction for Israel, conversely, Ezekiel 39 is a time when Israel wins... which is why the birds have the food, because the bad army lost. Are you sure you meant to link these two? I think that puts a huge hole in the 70AD argument. Or...perhaps... this can somehow be converted to a spiritual thing so it won't cause a conflict? Smiley face emoji. I have enjoyed your videos this week, I have been trying to compare your position to mine (I am post-trib, pre-millennial, NOT dispensationalist, not not not), and the videos this week helped. But this Ezekiel 39 reference was a glaring issue, to me. Other then that, it's interesting that you and I both link the same scriptures together as part of the same event (Matthew 24, Daniel 9, Ezekiel 39). We just believe they point to different events (you 70AD, me Armageddon). I don't see how you can claim Ezekiel 39 for your position though. God destroys the enemy in Ezekiel 39, it's Armageddon (even though the battle doesn't happen at Armageddon, it's just a staging area before going south to Jerusalem).

Question: if Jesus said regarding the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem, that this event will fulfill all things: Luke 21 [6] These things that you see - the days will come when not one stone will be left on another that will not be thrown down… [20] When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that its desolation has come near… [22] because THESE ARE DAYS OF VENGEANCE TO FULFILL ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE WRITTEN… [32] Truly I tell you, THIS GENERATION will certainly not pass away until ALL THINGS TAKE PLACE. The resurrection also being a Old Testament prophecy, does this mean the resurrection of the and those remaining alive occurred in 70AD? If so, Is resurrection still a promise for future Christians from that point forward?

Luke:21:12-24 is about the Apostles in Jerusalem during the 70AD scattering. The times coming has the Beast creating 10 kings, it is those 10 kings that represent the nations that are with Satan and the Beast and the false Prophet and the 200M angelic horsemen that come against a Jerusalem that has been defended by the two witnesses for 1260 days on the day they are killed by the Beast who only has 4 days left of his allotted 42 months. The two witnesses act as the last mortal kings over Jerusalem, they are killed by an immortal being, immortals are under the Re:21 set of laws so those laws return. Jesus then kills that immortal king and all his followers. The resurrected two witnesses are like Jesus was during his 40 days in Jerusalem after His resurrection. Jesus will lead all people that are destined to be alive for the 1,000 years to the tree of life in Eze:47. The water that is there comes from the Re:4 Throne as it sits in the Temple Jesus will build when He returns. Re:12:17: And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Your exposition re- the "end times" and preterist understanding of Daniel and the Olivet discourse and Revelation is very helpful and good and convincing. It is a shame however that you are still deceived by the false "apostle" Paul and his false "gospel" which you intersperse in many of these videos. I challenge you to study this "sacred cow" out. Jesus prophesied about him several times, even in Matthew 24, where Paul thinks he sees Jesus in the wilderness (this was probably Satan), and believes and follows this "vision". Paul never heard this warning from Jesus, in fact never saw Jesus, never heard Jesus teach or witnessed any of his miracles, never quoted anything Jesus said, never went to the apostles to learn from them, but rather disparaged them and thought himself and his "visions" to be superior, for that is all he had, his "visions" (like, hmm, Joesph Smith, Mohammed, Ellen White etc.). According to Acts 1, he is not even QUALIFIED to be an apostle, and there are only TWELVE true apostles. Paul is only an "apostle" by his own SELF proclamation - None else ever gave him this title. Deuteronomy specifically warns us that we must "test" any would-be prophet, and even if they do signs and wonders, to NOT believe them if they do not teach according to the true Torah or true prophets, including and especially Jesus. God, our Father, left Paul and his epistles in our Bible to TEST us, to see if we love HIM above all else. The church has been deceived all these centuries by Paul. But go back to Peter and read the "Pseudo"-Clementine literature, to James and the true early followers of Jesus, the Ebionites, or even just do a study comparing what Paul taught with what Jesus taught, and you will see, with absolute certainty, that they are completely contrary and incompatible! Jesus condemned Paul in Revelation 2, praising the Ephesians for testing Paul and finding him false and throwing him out of their church (even Paul admitted this in his letters). Paul was the "enemy" of the true apostles. You seem like a truth seeker. Instead of succumbing to cognitive dissonance, and immediately dismissing this in knee-jerk fashion, I challenge you to do your due diligence and research the matter. You could start with the YT channel "Jesus' Words Only". The content provider also has an excellent website with abundant resources. I do not agree with everything Doug Del Tondo says, but re- Paul he is spot on. Please, do not elevate Paul above Jesus. LISTEN to JESUS (Yahushua), and HEED HIM, (NOT Paul), as God our Father (Yahuwah) has commanded us.

[@ben.duffour]

The book of Acts disproves your assertion about Paul

[@the_jeremiah_16_19_project]

The abomination of desolation is described in 2 Thessalonians 2 and Daniel 8. It is the same type of event that brought on the Maccabean revolt. A false god will have demanded to be worshiped in the House of YHVH. It is not the desolation of the city of Jerusalem, it is the desolation of the Temple that Messiah will cause to happen when the son of perdition is revealed. That abmination will cause the desolation of the Temple. Messiah will confirm the covenant with many for one week. That confirmation is the third Temple. The wilderness Temple was a tent. When Israel gains control of the Temple Mount, that Temple will be erected in a matter of hours. In the midst of that week, the 70th week, the sacrificial system will be stopped because Yeshua will not allow His Father's Temple to be the place where the beast is worshipped. The Temple is the place where YHVH has put his Name. The report will likely be heard that the Ark of the Covenant has been found, thus creating the impetus for the Temple. A little less than three and half years of morning sacrifices and evening sacrifices, specifically 1150 days, would be 2300 "mornings and evenings" as described in Daniel 8:9-17. Also note 2 Chronicles 13:11. The destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70AD does not compare to the events of the 20th Century. So, it does NOT qualify as "suffering unlike anything that has ever happened from the beginning of the world until now, or that ever will happen." It's not even close.

How do explain Matthew 24:34 then?

[@fcastellanos57]

Jesus is not in his kingdom yet, when he comes back he will take possession of the Kingdom of the house of David. Matthew 24 cannot have been fulfilled in its totality in 70 AD. Some aspects of these prophecies were fulfilled in 70 AD, but not all of them, it seems that there is a double fulfillment in the future at the time of his coming. The book of Revelation talks about the angels proclaiming the gospel for the last time and then the end will come. No, I do not think the gospel went to South America or China for instance, this prophecy could not have been fulfilled yet as you say.

[@JR-rs5qs]

There's nothing in Scripture that gives the impression that Matt 24 has a double fulfillment or is topological of some future events. Just because we're not satisfied with the fulfillment doesn't mean we get to invent yet another fulfillment.

[@fcastellanos57]

@ is either understand this as having a double fulfillment or accepting Jesus was wrong, which one do you prefer?

[@JR-rs5qs]

@fcastellanos57 you make a good point but it's based on 2 false choices: 1) no textual reason to believe it's a double fulfillment passage, yet one is invented as a patch to fix a broken system and 2) that Jesus could lie or be a false prophet. A 3rd, correct option is that it's all one event and that it DID happen in the exact way (nature) and timing it was supposed to occur...in the lifetimes of those standing in front of Jesus when He gave His discourse on the Mount of Olives. Think about it- OT saints went to Sheol/Hades when they died waiting their redemption by the Messiah. Yet salvation was not perfected until His second appearance (Heb 9:28). When Jesus returned, all the OT saints were resurrected (raised) from Sheol/Hades to Heaven. If that is not all true, you and I have to go to Sheol/Hades as well when we die to await Christ's 2nd coming (if indeed it's still future).

[@fcastellanos57]

@ Several things are not correct with what you are saying. according to the Old Testament, there is no thinking or any mental activity at death. Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no activity or planning or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol where you are going. And Psalm 146:4 When the breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish. So, here are two scriptures that tells us that no one is conscious until they are resurrected as in 1 Corinthians 15. So, I do think Jesus spoke prophetically about what the Israelites will face at the end times because the Olivet discourse was not fulfilled in its entirety, as I said, I do not think Jesus was wrong, but simply not everything he said was fulfilled. We are physical beings, not angels, we do not exist without our physical part united to our spiritual part. Check Genesis 2 how Adam was put together, we are put together the same way and this is forever albeit with an immortal physical part.

[@JR-rs5qs]

@fcastellanos57 I must say that’s quite the leap you make from those verses to 1 Corinthians 15’s resurrection. I understand these leaps need to be made to keep theological systems together, but they’re not proper exegesis from the text. I don’t think those verses are about whether one is conscious in Sheol/Hades, especially considering the parable of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16. Clearly, in Hades, the rich man was conscious, otherwise how could he have been tormented in Hades? He and Abraham even carry on a conversation across the chasm. I understand it’s a parable, but if it was an accepted Hebraic belief that all were in an unconscious soul sleep in Sheol/Hades, it would’ve invalidated the parable Jesus was using to teach with. The dead were simply cut off from the living. They could no longer make plans, gain knowledge, enjoy the blessings of life such as food and drink, etc. Those in Abraham’s bosom were resting (we can glean that from the story of Samuel in the Witch of Endor) while those faithless dead were being tormented. The Israelites did face what was prophesied and it was in the 1st century. There’s no more Old Covenant Israel today. They were destroyed/dispersed permanently, as prophesied, when the city and temple were destroyed in 70AD. Without genealogical records, a high priest and the temple, there is no Israel anymore. They were regathered in the 1st century primarily through Paul’s work and that’s why there was such urgency on Paul and others’ part to seek out the lost sheep of Israel. The regathering didn’t require a physical regathering to the land, but rather a spiritual one where Israelites turned from the Old Covenant in Moses to the New Covenant in Christ. That’s one of the primary reasons why Jesus said the Gospel had to preached throughout the entire oikumene/Roman world before the end (of the Old Covenant). The entire discourse, all the way through Matt 25:46 was fulfilled in the 1st century. Peter said that his day is when those things in Joel were happening. In Joel 3, you have the judgement of ‘all the nations’. This is the same judgement in Matt 25:31f. It does not mean all nations throughout all time at the “end of history.” Lastly, 1 Cor 15 directly contradicts your statement that we must be put together with an immortal physical body at the resurrection. The very clear pattern that Paul lays out is that the natural comes first, then the spiritual. Your position requires natural, spiritual, then physical. The physical does not come after the spiritual nor is the spiritual conjoined to a new physical. We now are physical, but once we die, we are judged (Heb 9:27), and then we receive the spiritual to dwell with the Lord forever in Heaven. There’s no resurrection of physical bodies coming out of the ground at a Scripturally-unsubstantiated “end of time”. The Messianic New Covenant Age goes on forever. Those in Christ enter and then are safe “inside the gates” of the New Jerusalem and those who die “outside the gates” receive the Second Death in the Lake of Fire. We are not living in a period where the Old Covenant and the New Covenant are continuing on together in time. Hebrews is all about the fact that the Old Covenant was about to pass away.
