One last comment...
The sermon clearly orders the events and then lumps them together as occurring at the end of the world, which is true. More importantly for this conversation, he correctly orders the return of Christ for His church to keep them from evil, the pouring out of judgement on the earth and then the millennium - proving it was not a 19th century novelty.
in closing...
whether a single person in recorded history ever believed it is only important to disprove your claim. What actually matters is that it can be found in the Scriptures.
That you choose not to believe what is recorded in the Scriptures concerning the return of the Savior for His bride is entirely up to you. In my experience, most people have their ideas firmly set about this and the millennium. I do not try to change them because I do not believe it is the centerpiece of Christianity.
I may be wrong, but I believe you differ from historic Christianity on a number of central points. On the other hand, it is late tonight and I’m tired.
I wish you the best.
When you have rested, please inform me where I differ from historic Christian beliefs.
Matthew 24 very clearly teaches how the world will end.
There will be wars all through history,but near the end we will see a great falling away from the Church, and a period of great tribulation.
Then without warning, the sun and moon will be darkened and Jesus Christ will return with great power and glory accompanied by the angels and saints, and those saints still alive will be caught up to meet them. Immediately thereafter will be the Judgement and then the destruction of the earth.
Btw, thanks for the link in the other post, I will check it out!
