How much of Matthew 24 is fulfilled

They are neither literal or symbolic, as I said they are figures of speech.....but why don't you tell me what you have interpreted them to mean and I will either agree or disagree

Why should I do such a thing as that when I already know what you think of my earlier interpretation of this topic? You said of an earlier quote of mine that it was about the worst hermeneutics that you had ever encountered.

Really I think the best thing would be for you to lend your interpretation, and then I will tell you what I think of it. And I promise it will not be in an insulting way, as I don't think there is much to be gained by insults.

But if you can't see your way clear to do this, if I have the time this weekend, I will put together a further 'commentary' on Matthew 24 for your consideration.

 

[LittleLambofJesus]

I'm sorry thats about the worst hermeneutics I've ever encountered, The scripture is not in symbolic form, Its plainly written in literal easy to understand text, It is in unity with all prophetic text regarding the coming of Christ. your in the same boat as hymenaeus and Philetus(see 2 Timothy 2:17).....you have wandered away from the truth

​

Hozeh ("seer") also means "to see" or "to perceive," but is also used in reference to musicians. It is also used to describe a counselor or an advisor to a king. The Hebrew does not necessarily indicate that the person is a prophet, but rather an advisor—someone who has wisdom.
It means "one who has insight." Hence, the essential meaning in Greek is "interpreter."

Act 2:18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

Act 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him.(&#948;&#949;&#954;&#964;&#959;&#962; &#945;&#965;&#964;&#969

Act 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

Act 10:40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:

Eph 4:14 That we be no more children, tossed by the sea, and carried about with every wind of instruction, by the game of dice1 of men, and intelligence, whereby they lie in wait to the ‘pursuit of knowledge’2;

But speaking the truth [Jesus] having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit has reminded you by Act 2:34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,

Eph 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

Joh 17:21That they all may be one; as thou, Father,artin me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

Eph 1:14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
​

Col 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

Mat 5:5 Blessed the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Have you seen ten thousand Saints appear with Christ yet?

Jud 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

Psa 149:9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

Col 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory

Heb 11:39-40 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, [which is] that they without us should not be made perfect.

Again, are you better than David? Act 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made to draw near by the blood of Christ.

1 Cor 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

1Co 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things


Col 3: If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
​

Phil 3:20-21 For our conversation is in the heavens; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

2 Pet 1:4
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Luk 10:11 Even the dust of your city, which cleaves to us on the feet, do we shake off against you; but know this, that the kingdom of God is drawing near
​

Deut 30:11-14 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

Rom 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved.


1 Cor 15:25-26
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
​

1 Cor 15:25-26
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

Luk 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

Psa 20:6 Now know I that the LORD saveth His anointed; He will hear him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

Psa 22:1 To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou left me? far from helping me, the words of my roaring?

Psa 125:1 A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

Mat 5:5 Blessed the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

parousian <3952> Mentioned 3 Times 1 thess 4:15; 2 Peter 1:16; 2 Peter 3:12

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parousia


Classical usage

• 1. Physical presence, arrival &#8211; The main use is the physical presence of a person., which where that person is not already present refers to the prospect of the physical arrival of that person. especially the visit of a royal or official personage and sometimes as an extension of this usage, a formal "occasion"
• In astrological usage it refers to the presence of a planet at a point on the zodiac.

• 2. Property &#8211; A less common and distinct secondary meaning is to refer to a person's material substance, property, or inheritance,[7] including contribution in money.[8]

Jewish usage

The term occurs only twice in the Septuagint (2 Maccabees 8:12 and 15:21) in its ordinary meaning of arrival
New Testament usage

The word is used 24 times in the New Testament.
Of these, 6 uses refer to the coming of individuals: Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus (1Co.16:17), Titus (2Co.7:6 & 7) the physical "presence" of Paul himself (2Co.10:10, Php.1:26, 2:12), and a 7th use to the "coming of the lawless one" (2Thess.2:9). The other 17 times refer 16 times to the Second Coming of Christ, and in one case to the coming of the "Day of God" (2Pe.3:12).
Theological usage

Main article: Second Coming of Christ
The main use in theology is to refer to the second coming of Christ. However Karl Barth considered that category of parousia includes Resurrection Sunday and the Acts 2 Pentecost as well, and therefore that the New Testament parousia is not limited to his final return.

[Notrash]

as with many prophesies many things can be taken (and should be) more than one way.

When Jesus said the part about "this generation"...it also could be understood as this race (which would include their religion) shall not ever perish in front of him.

In other words the Jews will be here till the end of the earth...complete with their practice of Judaism. These people are left as to a testimony to what has happened and the supremacy of what God says. Several times the Jews have been forced to either convert of face extermination. They haven't done either.

So...IMHO...if the Jews seem to disapear or no longer are practicing Judaism..at all...we are all outta here. The end of the earth is at hand.

The word for that definition is "Genos" or Gennema. The word Genea has the specific usage of those people living in a common lifespan; usually referring to 40 yrs; but possibly from 30-70 yrs. It seems that Jesus clearly and in different ways indicated that the items he described were to happen within the next 40 yrs. And they did!!!

Scofield actually substituted the very definition for 'Genos' in his notes on Matt 24 for the definition of Genea from strongs, even though he stated that he was defining Genea from strongs. This slight of hand may have been intentional as a political move to induce and predicate the support of 'Israel' within the american church at that time; [I believe it was intentional]. Or it may have been felt justified and necessary by their assumptions that this passage was talking of some future end and remaking of the physical world by the misdefinition [again possibly intentional by the kjv peoples] of the word aeon as world [kosmos] in vs 3.

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

Mat 24:3 and what is the sign of thy coming and completion of the age? DARBY
and what is the sign of thy presence, and of the full end of the age?' YLT
the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?" ESV

Mt 24:38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39And knew not until and the flood came, and destroyed them all; and so shall the coming of the Son of man be.

Luk 17:28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

31In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

32Remember Lot's wife.

It was indeed future to those to whom the words were spoken.

Sodom/Gomorrah, the previous destruction of Jerusalem and the subsequent destruction of Babylon by the Medes [Isaiah 13] are all pre-cursers and fore-types of the destruction and latter end of physical Jerusalem of the mosaic covenant.

The 'destruction of them all" [all but the believing remnant who would escape like Lot or Noah {Ez 14} was foretold in the very giving of the conditional, national covenant by Moses in Deut 4:25,26, Deut 18:15-19; Deut 31:29; Deut 32:20,29. Peter confirmed that the time of Deut 18's fulfillment and the unbelievers from among the peoples lives would be demanded of them. It was upon them of that time in Acts 3:22-24 as is declared by Peters use of the word 'these days'. The destruction of the city and temple [and people] 'like a flood' was foretold in Dan 9 and again referred to in Isaiah 59:19 which joins Dan 9 and Deut 32 by the phrase of 'when the enemy comes in like a flood'.

Even as Daniel prays in Dan 9 and 10 he is given further details and additional information about those 'latter days' of the mosaic covenant which were foretold by Moses and recorded in the book of Deuteronomy. Compare Deut 29:31 with Dan 10:14 written 1000 yrs later and after Daniel confessed the babylonian captivity to be the curse of the law of Moses [Deut 28:15] as prescribed in Deut 30:1-5.

I'm not sure where you got your definitions from.

Was that from Scofields pages?

1074
1) fathered, birth, nativity
2) that which has been begotten, men of the same stock, a family
a) the several ranks of natural descent, the successive members of a genealogy
b) metaph. a group of men very like each other in endowments, pursuits, character
1) esp. in a bad sense, a perverse nation
3) the whole multitude of men living at the same time
4) an age (i.e. the time ordinarily occupied be each successive generation), a space of 30 - 33 years


Here is the definition from STONGS LEXICON

1074. genea ghen-eh-ah' from (a presumed derivative of) 1085;
a generation; by implication, an age (the period or the persons):--age, generation, nation, time.



But more importantly is the limited manner in which Genea was used.

Evens Strongs concordance sometimes defines words by interpretations which may be bias.

Genos is not the same idea as Genea or Genemma. If it were, there would be no need for the duplicate words.

Genea is limited by time.
