Then why are we called to change our minds and repent, in order to recieve all that God has for us?

As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
...

yes, this is what i was thinking.
The sign would be an unmistakable one...every eye will see it.
Didnt the Disciples ask Jesus what the sign would be?

Imagine a huge bright star suddenly...

something similar to the grandaddy of all lightening strikes. Its seen everywhere.

Greetings,
Paul writes that we shall "meet him in the air" ,20 years after the Holy Spirit came to abide in us. As Spirit filled Christians we look for Christ to come. When he appears we shall be...

Im of the amill camp. During the millenial reign the Church will be aware that the second death cannot hurt them. Being born again gives me that awareness right now.:)

Hi all....

At the Fathers appointed time, the meeting will take place and we will be with him always in a glorified bodily way. Jesus ascended to prepare this place for us, with the promise that...

The only way i see them avoiding the wrath of God , is if they repent and turn to Christ. The reason they were exiled was because they rejected what God was doing for them in Jesus. Wrath ends only...

I agree......but since 1948 their tribulation could be seen to have escalated....and threatens to escalate even more.

Some believe that his name means--"when he dies then comes judgment".
This makes sense as he died the year of the flood. After Methusalah, Noah was the only righteous one left.
Nothing to suggest...

How was it decided that the Jews were exiled for 70years ?

2Chron 36:21

What i am saying is the GT / DOV stretches all the way from AD70 to either the coming of Christ or the end of times of Gentiles over Jerusalem. The beginnings of the days of vengeance in AD70 bought...

Cheers divaD.
I do see one trib also. The days of vengeance / great tribulation began with the temple being destroyed and would continue with the Jews being exiled...and what they would suffer in...

John 14 is Jesus promise to come again so we can enter the place prepared in the Fathers house. Peter calls this-- the place where righteousness dwells. Even though this heaven and earth pass away,...

The whole discourse began with Jesus saying that the temple would be destroyed..not one stone upon another .
The disciples ask when will it happen. Jesus answered them. We know when the temple did...

Matt 24
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. 37 For...

According to his promise, they looked forward to the new Hev and earth.
What promise is Peter refering to?
I believe it refers to the promise of his coming earlier in the chapter.
His coming like...

Hey there John,
I remember you saying this many times, and i agree. What some seem to forget is that Jesus had this conversation / discourse just once.., so Matt and Luke are recording this one...

:idea:
It is true that we are meant to spiritually discern things.....and take to heart the examples of how God dealt with his people Israel from OT scripture. ( He who has an ear, let him hear what...

He does tell them to flee though.
This is all about the days of vengeance and wrath to this people. Vengeance is mine sayeth the lord and we are not the objects of his wrath, but the unbelievers ...

Hi vin.
Im not sure if im following you, but i think John remains in the Spirit (caught up..rev 4 ) for the entirity of the revelation.

Then I heard a loud voice from the temple, saying to the...

They were told to flee Judea and Jerusalem because of the destruction that was coming. Many remaining would fall by the sword and many rounded up to be sent into exile......so that all that the...

The NASB says that it was the dragon who stood on the seashore. Nothing in chap 12 suggests that John was standing on the seashore when he saw the dragon cast to the earth.
It appears to me that...

No sir

But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near. 21 Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of the...

The Church is warned to flee the city of Jerusalem for a reason. By the time 70ad came around, the Gospel had already been preached to the known world. .., so that suggests to me that the wrath...

Christians from every century should be ready and awake and alert lest they die before the Lord comes.:)

The 70AD destruction of their temple and exile into the nations, marked the beginning of a greater time of tribulation for the Jews than what was experienced before....when the temple was destroyed...

Exactly right. God has a special place in his heart for all of mankind. God so loved the world that he sent his only Son to save us all.

Both passages have to be about the same event, as both accounts are answering the same question from the same discourse Jesus made the last time he visited the temple before his death.
Days of...

Vakeros said that Matt 24:15- , was not in luke 21.
