Do you trust what the Apostles said about Yeshua Christ return?
The apostles, fully expected, and taught and encouraged, believers in their day to believe that Yeshua Christ was coming back to them then, on his way, that it was gonna happen soon, and quickly.
If Jesus Christ own Apostles believed this where did they get this information; this inspiration from? They were taught by Yeshua Christ Himself.
If the Apostles where wrong and they misunderstood Yeshua Christ, should we trust anything that they said?
If Yeshua Christ Apostles where wrong about when they said He would return, How can we trust anything about the bible has said?
I'm gonna share some scripture about where it talks about the Lord's coming back then in their day whom were being wrote to, it is up to your own decision to either accept all this information as true or false.
James 5:7 Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. 8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand
(near). 9 Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned.[a] Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!
Who is the Judge?
Hebrews
(Written to Jewish Converts) 10:22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
(The same Day that Yeshua Christ is talking about Matthew 24)
26 For if we sin
(Deny the Faith/stop having faith in Christ) willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. (
27: Is talking about the coming judgement for those who leave the faith or just deny it, as well as the same day that Yeshua Christ is talking about in Matthew 24)
35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:
37 “For yet a little while,
And He[f] who is coming will come and will not tarry.
38 Now the[g] just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.”[h]
Who will come?
1 John 2:17-18
17 And the world
(Age) passeth away
(all the old covenant, jewish temple, geneologies), and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever
(To believe on the Son of God - Lord Yeshua Christ is the will of God).
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
(The Last time of the standing Jewish Temple / Old Covneant/ geneologies the Age was going to end)
28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we
(they) may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
1 John 3: 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we
(they) shall be like him; for we
(they) shall see him as he is.
1 Peter 5:1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall-
(will soon short period of time) be revealed:
1 Peter 5:4 And when the chief Shepherd
(Yeshua's return) shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
1 Peter 4:5 5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
Who is coming to Judge?
1 Peter 4: 7 But the end
(End of the Jewish temple, covenant, geneologies) of all things is at hand
(near): be ye
(them) therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
Luke 21:22 22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
(The End of Jeruslem / The end of the Age of those days)
Romans 8: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall-
(short period of time) be revealed in us.
Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand
(near/judgement day): let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
2 Timothy 4:6 6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand
(paul's death was near at hand).
Anything has to with at it's at hand deals with being near. It's like if you have your phone near you, it's at hand and ready to be grabbed. Or if your reading glasses are right near-by and you grab them, they are at hand.
Is there any place in the bible where you can find the phrase 'and this is also for them at a later time, or in the future'?
Do you think any of this would have been true for them back then?
Or do you think that Yeshua Christ will still come to us now or was it to them then?
By that I mean that the promise is there...but so also are the other specifics relating to the promise of a Second Coming in, apparently, short order.
