I wouldn't think that is when the clock starts. He hasn't even went anywhere yet when He is born. Therefore, no need to return. But once He leaves the planet altogether, which He did soon after He died and rose, now there is a need to return eventually. Therefore, this 2000 year window in...

True, but toss into the mix NOSAS and no way does that still equal what you submitted. Unfortunetely, it is debatable though it shouldn't be, as to whether or not NOSAS is Biblical.

From what I can tell, pretty much anyone who is not a Premil is an Amil, except for maybe full Preterists and Post Millers. I would then say that not all Amils are in agreement about that. Depending on how one interprets the OD overall has a lot to do with how that same person might interpret...

Since Premil tends to see a resurrection event at the beginning of the thousand years, a second and final resurrection event after the thousand years, the former involving the good, the latter involving the bad, in that case if every eye shall see Him is not literally meaning every eye, this...

Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he...

It's already obvious to me though I disagree with your interpretation of Matthew 24:30, that you don't take that coming to be involving a bodily coming. Hopefully it is obvious to everyone else as well. Actually that verse does not say it's a bodily coming or that it's not a bodily coming. But...

If one is arguing that no one but Christ ascends to heaven, how then does one explain Revelation 11:11-12 then? That being mainly my point. You insist they don't actually go to heaven. Why don't they if that that is what the text is plainly saying they do? The same way the text plainly says that...

Maybe if you are Pretrib it does, yet not everyone is Pretrib. A lot of us are Post Trib. I can't speak for every Post Tribber, but speaking for myself though, I believe there is indeed a rapture, except no ones goes to heaven during it, they are simply changed in the sky then descend back to...

No matter how you look at though, Matthew 24:30 indeed involves coming in judgment. If it's involving 70 AD, though I disagree that it is, obviously that involved judgment. If Matthew 24:30 is meaning in the end of this age when Christ bodily returns, obviously that too would be involving coming...

I tend to agree to a degree. I think you are correct for the most part, yet I still tend to reason some of that a bit differently. Daniel 7:9 beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool...

Let's look at both verse 13 and 14 13 I beheld in a vision of the night, and, behold, he came on the clouds of heaven as the Son of man, and he was present as the Ancient of days, and they that stood by were present for him. 14 And power was given to him, and all the nations of the earth...

Apparently, Pretrib Dispensationalists likely think that's what it means. Except I'm not one of them. So, I don't share their take on that since I see the time of the AOD(Matthew 24:15) involving the church not unbelieving Jews in the future nor unbelieving Jews in the first century involving 70...

Actually I do since that is the manner which I tend to interpret that. The way I tend to reason Luke 21, for example, up until verse 20 everything is pretty much involving the literal and should be interpreted in that manner. But once the city and temple are destroyed, some things are no longer...

I tend to take it to mean the same city and sanctuary that Revelation 11:1-2 is involving, for one. I do not take that city and sanctury in the literal sense. Obviously, Revelation 11:2 is involving Revelation 13 and the 42 month reign of the beast. Nothing pertaining to Revelation 13 is...

I like this rendering since it is making it even clearer to me that some of this is obviously involving spiritual warfare and continues until the end of time, the 2nd coming in this case. Nothing per this rendering even remotely gives the impression any of it might be involving 70 AD.
