No. The great tribulation occurred under Emperor Vespasian. His son Titus led the Roman army to surround Jerusalem from 66-70AD. This was a horrible period for Jerusalem and led to the slaughter of over a million Jews and the destruction of the temple followed by the dispersion of the Jews.
No. The man of sin Paul refers to was Emperor Nero who began a great persecution of the church and also banished John to Patmos where he wrote Revelation. Nero also martyred Peter and Paul.
No. Not as you refer to it in the above passage. The term "Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory" is an apocalyptic term and refers to Christ coming in judgement of Jerusalem. It was used by the Prophet Isaiah at Isaiah 19:1 as he prophesied the judgement of Egypt. Christ return to judge the world is recorded in Matthew 25:31-46.
Yes. It is also in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, erroneously called a “pretrib rapture” when all it is a condensed version of the resurrection.
Yes. However, I do not believe it is actually a literal “lake of fire”. Jesus describes the final sentence many ways like being cast into outer darkness, or eternal fire, or eternal punishment. I think they are metaphors describing hell but we have no real idea how bad it is or what it looks like.
Yes. However, I also believe the eternal kingdom already is. The Lord’s Prayer tells us this and directs us to pray “YOUR kingdom come, YOUR will be done ON EARTH, as IT IS in heaven”. Christ will certainly bring the kingdom to earth as New Jerusalem…but it already is in heaven. Galatians 4:26 and Hebrews 12:22-24
Thanks for the response, your "Partial Preterist" in your eschatology.
I disagree with your views of the fulfillment of Matthew 24:15 Abomination Of Desolation/ Antichrist as "Nero"
Matthew 24:21 great tribulation.
Matthew 24:29-31 you disregard second advent seen, and pass this off as a symbolic judgment of Israel.
The reason why this is symbolically interpreted, is to allow for 70AD fulfillment "Falsely"
Conclusion: Matthew 24:29-31 is the second advent, and resurrection that takes place.
"Immediately after the tribulation of those day's"
"They shall see the Son Of Man coming in the clouds"
This event is exactly the same as 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Same Jesus, Angel, Trump, Cloud, Resurrection in Gathering.
How can you have 70AD fulfillment of the Great Tribulation, and a future second advent, taking place " immediately after the tribulation of those days"?
You Can't!
You have chosen 70AD fulfillment, and disregarded the second advent seen, pushing it aside in symbolic allegory.
If you recognise this scriptural truth, your 70AD fulfillment is "Gone", because the second advent is a future event, just as the abomination of desolation- man of sin, and Great Tribulation are.
"Immediately After The Tribulation Of Those Days"
"They Shall See The Son Of Man Coming In The Clouds"
You believe?
A Literal Army Of Rome "Vespasian" Great Tribulation?
A Literal Roman Emperor "Nero", Man Of Sin?
A Symbolic Jesus Coming In The Clouds?
A Symbolic World Watching?
Just another case of disregarding the clear teaching of scripture in symbolic allegory, to make ones System/Belief work.
Thanks For The Response, We Disagree.
Jesus Christ Is Lord
