@Joel7Richardson @ShehanCoach He was warning them of the things to come upon them in their generation , not some far off generation 2000 years later ,
What part of “soon” and “surely this generation” and “some of you standing here “ is so hard to comprehend ?

[ONE_FINAL_SACRIFICE @cruciform_life]

@Joel7Richardson It’s funny because Jesus said the exact same thing about His own generation

[ONE_FINAL_SACRIFICE @cruciform_life]

@Joel7Richardson @LeahSvensson Actually, biblical definition of Gnosticism is -not believing in an incarnate Christ. It has nothing to do with eschatology.
The existence of the new Jerusalem is throughout the New Testament

[ONE_FINAL_SACRIFICE @cruciform_life]

@travismsnow Yes but they also chose NOT to yoke them under the 613 commands

[ONE_FINAL_SACRIFICE @cruciform_life]

@Joel7Richardson Yes , perhaps “at hand” meant actually at hand … to the first century audience Jesus spoke it to…

This passage was written For us - not To us. Audience relevance & Time statements are the 2 most misunderstood things to futurists.

@Joel7Richardson The kingdom is Here the kingdom is Now. The kingdom is spiritual and realized - New Jerusalem was established 1st century.
GAL 4:26 HEB 12:18

“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,”
Romans 14:17

@RonSCantor I think you need to read through Matthew 23 again. And see clearly that all the bloodshed on earth from righteous able to Zachariah would come up upon that generation.
Judgment is covenantal , and first century Israel broke the covenant promise,
Take a look at Stephen’s sermon

@TheDinch2 @RonSCantor Yes in every eye would see him, “even those who pierced him” this was the religious Jewish leadership of the first century

@Joel7Richardson @TheAggregate3 The vultures are speaking of literal Rome as the sacked Jerusalem in 70Ad. The Roman army was known as “vultures” to the 1st century audience.

@TheAggregate3 @Joel7Richardson Go with the Words of Jesus, these guys are always trying to put kingdom off in the distance, negating the clear words of our Lord.

[ONE_FINAL_SACRIFICE @cruciform_life]

@Joel7Richardson it’s the underealized escatology that is the issue.
Ive gone deep into harrigan, apocalyptic gospel/your books.
And come to find great issues with that hermeneutic, you guys have misread the messianic hope. The nowness of the kingdom was consistently on the lips of Jesus.
