Any minute the Preterists will be here telling us it all happened in 70 AD.
Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.“ (Matthew 16: 27, 28)
Matthew 24:27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
He must be one heck of a big Dude!!!
The so called ‘end of the world’ spoken of in the Bible is not scheduled to happen at a certain TIME. It is scheduled (by GOD) to happen at a certain CONDITION.
You know, there is a reason the Rabbi’s prohibited the Jews from reading Daniel or attempting to calculate the timing of the coming of the Savior.
My grandparents said a few times that during World War 2 there were many that truly believed it was The End.
No one knows the hour of his coming.
The Holy land of Israel came into the hands of the British, who had promised a Jewish homeland to the Jews in the Balfour declaration.
Deuteronomy 33:22 And of Dan he said:
“Dan is a lion’s whelp;
He shall leap from Bashan.”
Judges 5:17 Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan, And why did Dan remain on ships? Asher continued at the seashore, And stayed by his inlets.
Genesis 49:17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, A viper by the path, That bites the horse’s heels So that its rider shall fall backward.
Battle of Navarino
Clip:
By about 4 p.m., all three Ottoman ships of the line and most of the large frigates of the first line had been despatched. This left the mass of smaller vessels in the second and third lines at the mercy of the Allied ships of the line, all of which were still operational. During the ensuing massacre, Codrington tried twice to order a ceasefire, but his signals were either invisible because of the thick smoke or ignored in the heat of the battle.[65] Within the following two hours, virtually the entire Ottoman fleet was destroyed, despite the signal bravery of the Ottoman crews, which was praised by Codrington himself in his dispatches. Three quarters were sunk: many of them, dismasted but still afloat and reparable, were blown up or set on fire by their own crews to prevent them falling into Allied hands.[66]
This contributed to the horrendous Ottoman and Egyptian casualty figures, as many men were trapped in burning or exploding vessels. Some, as mentioned, were shackled to their posts. Ottoman casualties given to Codrington by Letellier were approx. 3,000 killed, 1,109 wounded, although Codrington claimed the reverse was more likely. Of the entire Ottoman-Egyptian armada of 78 vessels, just eight remained seaworthy: one dismasted ship of the line, two frigates, and five corvettes.

as for the horse and its rider...
This analysis was brought to my attention by a friend, not my own...
Revelation 9:7 The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. 8 They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth. 9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. 10 They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.

Job 38:15 From the wicked their light is withheld, And the upraised arm is broken.
Psalm 37:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, But the Lord upholds the righteous.
Again, the Revelation 9 map (shape of the locusts) was from a friend of mine...
“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.”
Sounds like pretty much anytime in human history.
