Matthew 24:36-37 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

You might be interested in this article. It explains a workable chronology for Matthew 24/Luke 21.

I’ll have a look, when I have time, but my experience with these things is that they involve a lot of word-mincing and dancing around things that cannot be easily explained away. At times I must roll my eyes at some of the contrivances used by the proponents of each of the eschatological points of view: pre-millenial, post-millenial, and amillenial.

The truth is we see things as through a glass, darkly. We can only guess at what all this means. But a plain reading of the text convinces me that there is a lot yet to come, and that cannot be easily dismissed.

I am inclined to a pre-millenial view. There are pre-millenialists that I think are screwy, but it does not sway me from my pre-millenial view. The other eschatological views appear to me to fly in the face of any plain reading of the text and serve only to justify some of their other, sometimes suspect, theology.
