How much of Matthew 24 is fulfilled

i agree,we are indeed inside of time, and God is both inside and outside.
as far as Father is concerned, its a done deal

Agreed.

From our perspective, Matthew 24 is not fulfilled. We are still currently in the great tribulation that began with the desolation of Israel and will soon be cut short when gog invades, followed by the wrath of God.

The Roman armies actually, physically surrounded Israel and desolated them until the time of the end.

There have been actual wars, famines, pestilences, persecution and martyrdom since then.

None of that is Spiritual but actually physical - happened in the physical, earthly realm.

Why do you interpet God's Word literally?

1 Corinthians 10:11
Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

1 Corinthians 10:11 (AMP) Now these things befell them by way of a figure [as an example and warning to us]; they were written to admonish and fit us for right action by good instruction, we in whose days the ages have reached their climax (their consummation and concluding period)

fThese things happened to them as a warning to us. All this was written in the Scriptures to teach us who live in these last days.

1 Corinthians 10:11 (NCV

The things that happened to those people are examples. They were written down to teach us, because we live in a time when all these things of the past have reached their goal.

Now all these things happened to them [as] types, and have been written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.

Does not matter what Roman Army, US Army, Nazi Army has to do with the Kingdom of God; God's kingdom is with in us not with out.

Yes there has been war; but the real war of the realm of the spirit is spiritual war not literal war.

The literal war is but an example of what war is. How can we know what spieritual things but literal example.

famines: There is a great famine in the land right; a famine for the true word of God; not the literal word but the spiritual word that quicken or is made alive.

God is a spirit and they that worship him worship him in spirit in truth not literally; not carnally.

The Bible is a spiritual message not a literal, the letter killeth. So if you follow religion and reject the spirit of God's leading by his anointing with in you; you have an anti Christ spirit with in you .

Anti Christ/anti anoiting means the same thing

Who's anointing do you follow?

There is not one any Christ there are many. If you are against the anointing of God you are the anti Christ. The word anti Christ means anti anointing.

Men do not choose God, He choose us. Man has no freewill towards salvation.

Again, the clouds in scripture have nothing to do with white fluffy rain clouds. Notice the word clouds.

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.[/font]

Rev 5:5Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals."
Rev 5:6Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
Rev 5:7He came and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.

Have you read Revelation? If so, then you would know that the wrath of God will be so terrible that people will be hiding.

I am going to quote j preston Eby on clouds to show you the depth of god's Word on this one subject.

J Preston Eby
"Behold! He comes with clouds." "With" is from the Greek preposition META. It means with, but it also means together with, in the midst of, among, between, in common with, with the help of, and by means of. Behold! He comes WITH clouds, denoting an association. Behold! He comes TOGETHER WITH clouds, denoting a communion. Behold! He comes IN THE MIDST OF clouds, denoting an indwelling. Behold! He comes AMONG clouds, denoting a fellowship. Behold! He comes BETWEEN clouds, denoting a union. Behold! He comes IN COMMON WITH clouds, denoting a participation. Behold! He comes WITH THE HELP OF clouds, denoting an interdependence. Behold! He comes BY MEANS OF clouds, denoting an instrumentality. CLOUDS are the vehicle He uses in this coming.

Here is where I wish to point out a most significant fact of scripture which has entirely been overlooked by the average Bible student and almost all preachers and teachers in the church systems. All the way through the scriptures, from the crossing of the Red Sea by the children of Israel to the ascension of Christ from the mount of Olives, God consistently manifested Himself in ONE GLORY CLOUD. There was always only ONE SINGLE CLOUD. One cloud over mount Sinai. One cloud resting upon the tabernacle in the wilderness. One cloud shining in the Most Holy Place. One cloud filling Solomon's temple. One cloud overshadowing the virgin, implanting the seed of the Christ. One cloud shimmering over the summit of the mount of transfiguration. And finally, we read, "And when He had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up; and A CLOUD (only one!) received Him out of their sight" (Acts 1:9). Christ ascended in ONE SINGLE CLOUD of God's shekinah glory - the very SAME cloud in which He had manifested His presence throughout the long ages of time.

It is when we come to the return of our Lord that we notice a distinct difference in the circumstances surrounding that coming. For suddenly, the one single cloud disappears and we are introduced to a great plurality of C-L-O-U-D-S. Let us SEE! Christ departed this earth in ONE CLOUD. He comes again in MANY CLOUDS! "Behold, He comes with CLOUDS: and every eye shall see Him" (Rev. 1:7). Daniel in vision beheld Him thus: "I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like a Son of man CAME WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN ... and there was given unto Him dominion" (Dan. 7:13-14). Jesus Himself said, "And they shall see the Son of man COMING IN THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN with power and great glory" (Mat. 24:30). And again, "Hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and COMING IN THE CLOUDS of heaven" (Mat. 26:64). Finally, the apostle Paul relates this dramatic experience: "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them IN THE CLOUDS, to meet the Lord..." (I Thes. 4:17). In the C-L-O-U-D-S! More than one cloud. Many clouds. A great company of clouds!

The question follows: Why are there MANY CLOUDS attending Christ's coming again, and what are these clouds? To aid our understanding of this truth, let us not for one moment forget that we are dealing with THE CLOUD of GOD'S GLORY AND PRESENCE. The shekinah. When Jesus, the firstborn Son of God, was in the world John said of Him, "And we beheld HIS GLORY" (Jn. 1:14). WHEN did they behold His glory? You may reply that they beheld His glory when He went about doing good, healing the sick, cleansing the lepers, raising the dead, performing miracles and teaching the glorious truths of the Kingdom of God. I do not deny that in all those things they beheld His glory, but the apostle Peter pinpoints for us what is really meant about them beholding the glory of the Son. "For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were EYEWITNESSES OF HIS MAJESTY (GLORY). For He received from God the Father honor and GLORY, WHEN THERE CAME SUCH A VOICE TO HIM FROM THE EXCELLENT GLORY (THE GLORY CLOUD), saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, WHEN WE WERE WITH HIM IN THE HOLY MOUNT" (II Pet. 1:16-18). [/font]
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']How very significant that at the end of Jesus' earthly ministry He said, "Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on Me through their word; that they all may be one; as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may BE ONE IN US ... and the GLORY WHICH YOU GAVE ME I HAVE GIVEN THEM... I in them, and You in Me, that they may be made perfect in one... Father, I will that they also, whom You have given Me, BE WITH ME WHERE I AM; that they may behold MY GLORY which You have given Me" (in. 17:20-24). And this is the crux of the whole matter! From the dawn of creation's light until Jesus stepped upon this planet, God manifested to His creation in singular way HIS OWN GLORY. He, the one eternal God exhibited His presence in the form ONE GLORY CLOUD. But as Jesus approached the cross and the glorious events to unfold shortly thereafter, He disclosed the grand truth that God purposed from eternity to SHARE HIS GLORY WITH HIS VAST FAMILY OF SONS ... that glorious body which is the fulness of Him who fills all in all!

Let us see then what great encouragement God has given us concerning His glory. "And you know how we exhorted you, as a father does his children, that you should walk worthy of God, who has called you TO HIS KINGDOM AND GLORY" (I Thes. 2:11-12). Peter asserts, "I ... also am...A PARTAKER OF THE GLORY that shall be revealed" (I Pet. 5:1). "Whereunto He called you... to the obtaining of THE GLORY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST" (II Thes. 2:14). "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with THE GLORY THAT SHALL BE REVEALED IN US" (Rom. 8:18). The writer to the Hebrews adds this significant testimony: "For it became Him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing MANY SONS TO GLORY, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings" (Heb. 2:10). That there is to be a mighty and universal revelation of the glory of God, that very same glory which was revealed in the cloud of old, is evident.

When Jesus ascended nineteen hundred years ago, He ascended glorified in that singular glory cloud in which He had dwelt from eternity. He was the One God manifested in all fullness in one Man, the Son. But, blessed be God! when He comes again, "He shall come to be GLORIFIED I-N H-I-S S-A-I-N-T-S, and to be admired IN THEM that believe" (II Thes. 1:10). Centuries ago the apostle Paul wrote these words to the saints in Rome: "And if (we are) 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" (Rom. 8:17). It should not be difficult for any believer to understand that since the majesty and glory of God is now to be shared by and imparted to a vast company of sons of God, each of these sons to whom is given that same glory that Jesus had from eternity shall stand ultimately in his OWN REALM OF THE GLORY OF THE LORD. The glory is shared, so the CLOUD which represents that glory IS SHARED. Each elect son becomes a manifestation of the glory - of the CLOUD - of the shekinah! Each son becomes the expression and revelation of the Person of Deity. There is still only one Person of God, but He shall eternally indwell a many-membered body of like ones unto Himself, the extension and projection of His own Being. In the light of truths so sublime let us then search our hearts and sanctify ourselves in the knowledge that WE ARE THAT BODY. The cloud of old rested upon the tabernacle and filled the temple with the glory of the Lord. WE ARE NOW HIS TABERNACLE AND HIS TEMPLE! WE ARE NOW HIS ARK AND HIS MOST HOLY PLACE AND HIS HOLY MOUNT! The glory is now given to us, rests upon us, increasingly fills us, and shall radiate out through this holy habitation of God forevermore. Under the Old Testament economy God dwelt in the one singular cloud. But now He says, "I will dwell IN THEM, and walk IN THEM... and you shall be My sons and daughters.." (II Cor. 6:16-18). [/font]
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']What, then, are those clouds with which, and in which, the Christ comes again? Why, bless your heart, WE ARE! The apostles Peter and Jude both tell us that FALSE MINISTRIES are "CLOUDS without water ... carried about of winds." A TRUE ministry then, is a CLOUD with water. A true ministry has life to give, and is willing to empty himself out in order to be a blessing to dry and thirsty souls. Jesus was a bright cloud laden with water, for "The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and give His life..." (Mat. 20:28). [/font]
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']The one glory has become the multiple glory. The one God has reproduced His life into a many-membered body. The ONE CLOUD of His presence has become MANY CLOUDS of His presence IN HIS PEOPLE. Isaiah foretold of this day: "Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the GLORY OF THE LORD IS RISEN UPON Y-O-U. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon you, and HIS GLORY SHALL BE S-E-E-N U-P-O-N Y-O-U" (Isa. 60:1-2). The "sign" of the coming or presence of Jehovah has always been the shekinah glory cloud. It was His sign to Moses, and when our Lord comes again in fullness in a many-membered body of saints, it will be IN THE CLOUDS OF HIS PRESENCE.

Yes I have the Book of Revelation the most spiritual book ever written. John was in spirit on the Lord's day; no where does it say he was being literal in any since of the word. Unless you can show me using chapter and verse of the literal Bible?

The wrath of god is the wrath of th lamb; do you believe this or is this a lie? Have you ever seen a baby lamb get mad? What a silly illustration. The anger comes from your literal understanding. They that worship him shall worship him in SPIRIT and truth. The letter killeth.....

Revelation 19:11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
17And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

2 Thess 2:8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

Zech 14: 12And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
14And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance. 15And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.

John's vision was symbolic and descriptive of the final years of mankind before Christ's return. It will be a mixing of fallen angels and mankind in a final kingdom, as Daniel says. So, you cannot say it's all spiritual. It will take place in the physical realm of the earth.

Ed Bana · Nov 28, 2010

WRONG... I never said it was all spiritual; God's Word said it was in right off the bat in the Book of revelation. John was in "spirit on the Lords' day" that is a spiritual scriptural FACT; literally written in God's Word for a divine purpose for those who have spiritual ears to hear.. Yes symbolic, BUT absolutely no mention of literal anywhere in the Book in any since of the word. Chapter and verse please opinion is not tolerated.

This deep and awesome Book is the most misinterpret book ever written because it is the most spiritual book ever written. You want to canalize it, literalize it that is on you. But that is not what is written.

What is your point? I've seen visions too but that doesn't mean they won't have an actual fulfillment.

John's vision was prophetic. The symbolism is based on other Scripture. Everything in Revelation has an Old Testament counterpart to help explain it.

Jesus will actually come from the sky and will kill everyone who has worshipped the devil in word and deed.

No one said it was not going to be fulfilled; but it will NOT be fulfilled carnally, literally; but instead spiritually. Yes the whole Bible gives us the typology for Revelation; not the carnal mind.

Your last line is what I am taking about. Yes he will kill, since Christ came and abolished death (II Tim. 1:10) and destroyed him that had the power of death, that is, the devil (Heb. 2:14), He now boldly proclaims: "I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the KEYS OF HELL AND OF DEATH" (Rev. 1:18). Since the Christ now possesses both hell and death neither of them ride anywhere except by His authority!

This "fourth part of the earth" is clearly that portion of earthiness not already dealt with by the three preceding horses.

There is an amazing and significant statement in the passage that we do not want to miss. "And power was given unto Him to kill...with death."! How does one kill with death?

To kill with death means a death by death. Later on in the book of Revelation the same truth is presented thus: "Death and hell were cast into the lake of Fire. This is the second death" (Rev. 20:14). Now let us turn this around for clarity. "The second death IS death and hell cast into the lake of fire." Therefore we have exactly the same meaning either way it is stated. What is the second death? It is the first death and hell cast into the lake of fire

"Our God is a consuming fire

" This fact is extremely IMPORTANT. The second death is not merely the lake of fire. Nor is the second death men being tortured forever in the lake of fire.

The Holy Spirit has made it very simple and plain. The second death is the first death and hell CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.

That is the Holy Spirit's definition, not mine

Thank you for the link lloj
This thread will divide the sheep from the goats lol!

Matthew 24 is a twin of Revelations as I read it.
All the elements of destroying that wicked Jerusalem harlot are present.
All the elements of saving men by the Gospel sent into all the world are present.
Jesus said that what He was saying was going to "shortly come to pass".
And it did.

Jesus loved his Wife, the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem pastored by James. His prophecy was for them. Not for some future end time magic act.

Jesus foremost concern in warning His followers was that the first century Jerusalem Church would be delivered safely from the midst of that old covenant Jerusalem Jewish harlot.
He was going to burn her to the ground for her whoredoms as promised. He had to see to His Wifes safety first. The vengeance of Jesus was promise to be released upon that antichrist Pharisee plagued metropolis of spiritual filth and pollution. Burning her up is the long heralded days of vengeance promised, fulfilled when Titus burnt the city to the ground in AD 70.

Interspersed throughout Matt 24 are the same terms used in Revelations concerning salvation as well.
The Gospel message, preached by the true Israel Wife of God, was now being sent out into all nations to call those who were scattered far off. Jesus gospel call, preached by His saints sent into the four corners of the world, have been redeeming Israel for the last 2000 years as she is called out (ekklesia/church/spiritual Israel/New Jerusalem etc) Called out from the nations/gentiles.

This began at Pentecost of course, a kind of first fruits in the special sending of the apostles and their powerful gifts of the Holy Spirit. But the body of fulfillment is upon that Jerusalem church pastured by James, which was released out from that wicked city destined for immolation.

The Jewish Church saved out of Jerusalems ashes
The Israelites saved from amongst the gentiles where they had been scattered
All brought together as One in the House of Israel, the New Covenant Bride of Christ! Fulfilling Jer 31:31-34 and all the rest of the prophets.
My brethren in the hope of Israel!

So I voted fully fulfilled of course

Blessings upon the Whole House of Israel!

How much of Matthew 24 is fulfilled

Amount of Matt 24 fulfilled

I view all of it fulfilled

I view it as mostly/partially fulfilled

I view it as none of it is fulfilled

I don't really know
