Read Daniel 12:1 again:
“Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued.
Who are Daniel's people ewq1938?
Christians made up of people of all races. The NT reveals this where the OT does not.
Look at that text again and answer who Jesus was talking to. Answer who, what, when, and where please.
If that is true why didn't the see the second coming as promised?
So Christ didn't come in judgement of Jerusalem?
No. The Roman's came in judgement.
Can you prove that from scripture? Can you prove Jesus is telling them something they would never see happen?
As I said, the second coming is part of what the generation would see. I've said many times people that believe as you do never will address this.
*Peter was crucified upside down (as history records). Peter also said his death was at hand in 1 Peter 1:14
*James was put to death in Acts 12:2
*Andrew was killed in 70 AD (according to most accounts), Foxe's Book of Martyrs
*John (once again), tells you he was in the tribulation in Revelation 1:9
Has nothing to do with any of the olivet discourse. And John never says he is in "the tribulation" spoken in the discourse. You are altering what John wrote.
*What does Jesus mean when he tells Pilate "my kingdom IS NOT of this world"?
That it hasn't arrived on Earth yet. It doesn't until the 7th trump when it is written all kingdoms become the kingdoms of Christ.
*What does Jesus mean in Matthew 26:64? Why did Caiaphas tear his clothes when Jesus told him that?
*What does Paul mean in Colossians 1:15-20?
Paste the scriptures if you want a comment on them. I don't have time to look up every one.
*Why does Hebrews 1 prove you are wrong by telling you Christ position "when He made purification from sin" on the cross? (Hebrews 1:1-4)
That doesn't prove me wrong. We aren't even discussing such a topic. Red herrings are also argumentative fallacies. Stick to the subject please.
Jesus told you in Matthew 28:18 what His position is NOW...it's not an "argument from silence" it's an argument from factual evidence of scripture!
Wrong.
Once again you don't take into account what Peter, James, Andrew, and John asked.
Again, why no second coming where angels gathered together the elect?
I am amillennial. I look for Jesus to return just as Matthew 25 states. I don't look to be raptured before an imaginary "great tribulation".
We aren't discussing pre-trib which is a false doctrine. The tribulation is not imaginary since Christ and Rev 11 and 13 describe it and just as Christ says in the discourse, the trib ends with the second coming found in Rev 11.
It's you who are ignorant of what Jesus meant when He said "you shall see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky in power and great glory".
They didn't see that so who exactly is ignorant on this subject? You force the second coming at a time it didn't happen.
This is what Christ said "this generation" would see:
Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Mat 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
Mat 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Mat 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
None of that happened to the generation of people in Ad 70.
