Thanks for the feedback,I appreciate your point. The problem is that not all of “these things”occurred in 70 Ad,including the final confession of Israel’s national sin, something slated for the end of this present age,see Zechariah 12:1-12
This is why I believe that. The scope of Jesus, answer extends all the way to this present day. also the “end of the age” does not refer to the end of the Mosaic law, rather it refers to the eschatology, the end of Satan,s reign on this earth, 2 Cor 4:1-4 and the dawning of the reign of Messiah on earth. There is an event in recent history which marked the sign of the end of the Age,which I will discuss shortly( WW one and its aftermath)
And thanks again for your thoughts as well. When you say, “The problem is that not all of “these things”occurred in 70 Ad,” I’m sure you see the problem:
Pastor Bill: “NOT ALL OF THESE THINGS occurred in 70 AD”
Jesus: “Verily (truly) I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till ALL THESE THINGS be accomplished.”
So even tho Jesus said this was a true statement, you’re saying that it wasn’t true. It didn’t happen.
PastorBill vs. Jesus is bad enough, but also, Jesus prophesied that all the things he discussed from Mt. 23.36 through 24.33 would be fulfilled in his generation. If that prophecy wasn’t fulfilled, then Jesus was a false prophet according to Dt. 18.20-22, and deserved to be put to death!
Doesn’t your assertion that all of Mt. 24 wasn’t fulfilled in Jesus’ generation justify Christ’s execution?
Thanks again for the discussion.
