Did they literally see Jesus coming in clouds in AD70 or they only recognise that the destruction of Jerusalem is Jesus bringing judgment?
By the logic you were using, because we didn't see the literal things accomplished, then they couldn't have happened. Now you are trying to say that the figurative language of Isaiah 40 isn't the same as Matthew 24 because it was literal and Isaiah was figurative?
They did see that. They recognized that what was taking place was Jesus coming to bring wrath on those who rejected him.
Prophecy in the bible is symbolic. It isn't usually ever literal. Jesus wasn't saying that people would literally see him.
And he was speaking of the last day there. And Paul says we'll meet Jesus in the air. Matthew 24 is not about the last day and it isn't about a personal return of Jesus.
Nonsense. In fact, he doesn't say that he was coming back in person. Specifically he says his coming was in power and glory. So the power and glory that they witnessed was his return to Judge and condemn Jerusalem for rejecting him and killing the prophets he sent them.
Show me where Jesus says he's coming back in person in Matthew 24 or Luke 21.
If they didn't literally see Jesus coming in AD70 what makes you so certain that Luke 21:27 is fulfilled in AD 70 without any witnesses or writing or anything to prove that this event took place...
Any scriptures states that He (Jesus ) comes back multiple times?
1Corinthians 15:23.." But each in turn; Christ the Firstfruit then, when He comes, those who belong to Him...
If you dont believe that Jesus is coming back in person then maybe you should look at Acts:1:11...
Acts 1:11..."Men of Galilee", they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven....
And I believe Jesus only come back ONCE and for all..
