I share this for other believers considerations and encourage everyone to be fully persuaded within themselves as to the proper applications of Jesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good commentary. Everyone needs to read it. There has been so much false assumptions about that passage in recent years (130, give or take).

Good commentary. Everyone needs to read it. There has been so much false assumptions about that passage in recent years (130, give or take). Thank you for talking the time to read it . . . I know it is long. I think one of the most enlightening thing for myself from doing the study was coming to terms with the fact that the disciples did not know or understand what was going to happen so they could not have intelligently asked about the "second coming" or the "end of the world" as so many today teach.

Guest yod Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Would you mind summing up what it is you are hoping to say in as brief a way possible? That way I'll know if I want to go through all this. At first glance it looks like it is some sort of preterist perspective of end times eschatology? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is so long, most wont read it. What view point are you attempting to support? have you quoted and interacted with those who take an opposite view? Other wise it is just qoting people who agree with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shiloh357 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Shorter more succint points would be better understood, if you wanting to get your point across. I have had to learn that the hard way. No one on a message board really has the time to read online novel. What is the basic summation or main idea you are wanting to get across?

That way I'll know if I want to go through all this. At first glance it looks like it is some sort of preterist perspective of end times eschatology? Actually, it is the partially the perspective of an eye witness to the destruction of Israel as a nation. I am not a preterist . . . though they like other believers have some truths to share.
