Not even close. Who comes up with this stuff? The author is a stranger to the OT prophets.

No events in the First Century, even the raid by Titus in 70 ad, remotely resemble the scope, sequence and finality of prophetic scripture.

You think the almost complete destruction of the city of Jerusalem and the Second Temple is lacking in scope and finality?

Jerusalem was rebuilt, but not by Jews; by Roman pagans, Byzantine Christians, and Turkish Muslims.

The Temple has not been rebuilt in almost 2000 years.

Sounds like finality to me.

Good grief.

Lurk - the destruction of the temple in 70 AD mirrors exactly what is in the book of the Apocalypse of St. John of Patmos.

This is validated in the writings by Josephus - a Jewish warrior who survived the wars. The book, the Wars of the Jews tells us of
1. the Jewish civil war INSIDE Jerusalem WHILE it was being besieged,
2. the famines induced by these factions burning granaries
3. cannibalism and disease etc.
4. the temple torn to the ground with no stone resting on another

This is exactly what was in the first part of the Olivet discourse.

The pre-tribulation rapture is not in the Bible
