@GeorgeSchulte @GuyJackson777 What’s coming in the clouds mean? A dude cloud surfing all over the world until everyone sees him?
Judgment language. Scripture interprets scripture. world ended whn God went on a swift cloud to Egypt(Is 19)? No. He used Assyria to crush Egypt. Rev is Rome crushing Jerusalem

@GeorgeSchulte @GuyJackson777 I’m always doing a bit of study. But that aside for now. How are you dealing with the New Testament imminent language? Jesus and the apostles multiple times said soon in many ways. Were they wrong? If not, maybe your expectations need adjusting. Study Jewish apocalyptic language

@CatholicDrip___ All preferable to Caths 👍

[The Peasantry @circuslevelview]

@GeorgeSchulte @GuyJackson777 It doesn’t. But even if it did. He said “these are the days of vengeance…”
To the high priests: “YOU will see Son of Man seated at right hand, coming with clouds of heaven.” (Mk 14:62) reference to Ps110:1 & Dan7:13-14. There’s way too much imminence language to hand-wave away

[The Peasantry @circuslevelview]

@BrysonGray What is meant by “works?”

[The Peasantry @circuslevelview]

@Peter94847717 @metathomist 🤔

[The Peasantry @circuslevelview]

@GeorgeSchulte @GuyJackson777 I understand context fine. What context is it to hand wave “soon,” “this generation,” “all that is written,” “(to the high priests) You will see me coming in power’” etc etc, all the imminent language of the NT to mean thousands of years?

@Sacramentshow “Shepherds” shouldn’t have got it wrong then 🤷

@Be_Like_JChrist “You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth”

[The Peasantry @circuslevelview]

@Be_Like_JChrist The law of Moses was for God’s old covenant nation of Israel.

@parousia70 @GeorgeSchulte @GuyJackson777 Aw thanks! I have character limits, so gotta work within them. And followed you and some others quite awhile first

[The Peasantry @circuslevelview]

@GeorgeSchulte @GuyJackson777 I’m not the one who said it. That was Jesus. Was He wrong? If not, it’s probably time to reevaluate expectations.

[The Peasantry @circuslevelview]

@GeorgeSchulte @GuyJackson777 Jab at my Bible study habits aside, all promises are fulfilled in Christ. All.
2Cor1:20“For all the promises of God find their Yes in Him.”
Jesus to his disciples: “These are the days of vengeance to fulfill ALL THAT IS WRITTEN.” Not most, or some… All. Spoken about 2000 yrs ago

@JayDyer At least orthos aren zios, got that going for ya

[The Peasantry @circuslevelview]

@TheStaad 🤨
Sounds like something a Cath would say

[The Peasantry @circuslevelview]

@ZanderFearsYAH Fair. Idolatry tho. Was a rather specific old world sin. But no need to get hung up on such details I suppose.

@MrMrsTrumpet Old Cov still in effect (fading, as Hebrews notes) when the apostles walked the earth. They’re the last of the prophetic office. New Cov built on the foundation of apostles & prophets, Christ as the cornerstone.
