First i know the book of revelation from what you wrote to the end, not al but much of it, at least the most important parts, and still learning. Seccond Jesus is not God hes is Lord, as apostel stated from start untill it was changed around year 350 or so. 99% of the bible is clear that it says Jesus is lord, and Jesus neaver ever says hes God, old testament predicts that you people will call him god, but it says that Gods kingdom rest on Jesus christ. Thing is when people start to go away from bible, it makes it harder to understand. when you say Jesus is God it kinda confuses me, Couse God is his father, and Jesus is his son. They have difrent work things to do, Jesus saves us and thats clear in John leathers about we shuld not turn ourself into shame when he arives...
Trust me on book of revelation, when i started to belive, al i did read was the book of revelation. And the truth cant usaly be found clerly on the net, and those that understand and knows al about book of revelation knows why.
What she points out is that Jesus christ become Jesus christ when he went up to heaven siting on Gods right side, thats when he become lord of heaven and universe. When he where born he where human, you must make a difrence on the lords body, couse he where human and now hes lord couse of doin Gods will. Imagene if he did not, as he asked God let this pass him, he went truw it for some reason, and became our savior. Just think for a moment, what wuld happend if he did not do Gods will, if God passed Jesus cup. What was Jesus gift for doin Gods will. Whats our gifts of doin Gods will, and that i dont know what kind of hard tests people have as chosen on this earth. Not sure if the diciples understod realy when Jesus had to take the cup and die on the cross, but after when he rose from death, they understod. Same can be with other people that are chosen, we dont understand Gods plan, wery strange things happend al the time. Peter went against Jesus, and Jesus said go away satan, Peter where apostle. We others here are just casual people. Be wery carefull what you say about these chosen people, al i have to say.

I'm with you Luke17: this woman sounds like she's lost the plot and is starting a cult, setting herself up as the only infallible reader of God's word, more reliable than the bible itself! Warning: danger Will Robinson!
"For sure, Acts 26:12-18 and Acts 7:54-58 stand as direct fulfillments of Acts 1:11"
Acts 1:9-11
This passage describes Jesus’ ascension into heaven. This event has no relation to the event at Stephen’s stoning. In Acts 1 Jesus was taken up in a cloud in full view of His disciples. We are told in verse 11 when He returns it will be in like manner, Revelation 1:7, Matthew 24:30.
But what Prof Peter Bolt is arguing is that it is our assumption that Matt 24 is about Jesus return. Now that he's made a compelling argument from Daniel 7 that Jesus himself is quoting, we've got to prove that it's actually about Jesus return, not just assume it. After all, I doubt Jesus got Daniel 7 wrong! So why was he quoting it?
Except that the bible disagrees with everything she says, and 2000 years of church theology disagrees with everything she says. Only way out there cults have said some of the things she's saying.Um i just love her eva, she got more balls than men haha... i looked it al about that, so cool to learn the truth about the bible, look things up before stating things please.
Matt.24:30....
Did "Every Eye" see Jesus ascend?
Word games? Cannot the like manner refer to the method in which He left? He was taken up and a cloud received Him out of their sight Acts 1:9. When He returns “behold , He cometh with the clouds” is just the reverse. No every eye didn’t see Him leave ( those present did) when He comes again every eye will see Him return, no contradiction.
Let’s apply your logic to your own statement. You said “For sure, Acts 26:12-18 and Acts 7:54-58 stand as direct fulfillments of Acts 1:11". In Acts 26 did anyone other than Paul witness the light from heaven? Paul heard His voice, is there any mention of Jesus shouting back from the cloud as he left in Acts 1? Did Paul say anything about a cloud in his testimony? Did Paul say Jesus went up or down? Now look at Acts 7 Did Stephen see Jesus go up or down? Did he see a cloud? All he saw was the Glory of God and Jesus standing on His right hand. You have not held yourself to the same standard you impose on me. You claim Acts 7 & 26 are in fulfillment of Acts 1 which tells us He will return in like manner as He left, but there is no “like manner “ in the passages you site.
You must believe yes if you assert His return Will be "in like manner" as the ascension.
No I must not.
Did Jesus ascend "in Great power and Glory, with Angelic armies in tow and reward every man according to His works at that time?"
You must say yes if you assert His return will be "in Like manner" as the ascension.
You do not hold yourself to this standard.
C'mon, It's demonstrably false that you Believe His return will be in exact like manner as the ascension.
You used the word “exact” I didn’t.
You simply pick and choose whichever attributes of the ascension will be "in like manner as" the return that best suit your previously held view, and completely disregard the rest, in the complete absence of ANY scriptural instruction to do so.
Just like you did with Acts 7 and 26.
Q:How Did the angels promise the disciples Jesus would "come"
A: In like manner as they saw Him go "into Heaven".
He ascended up INTO the cloud and when He went INTO the cloud He was out of their sight.
How did Jesus enter heaven?
Hidden from their eyes by a cloud. (Acts 1:9)
This is the same tactic I have encountered in the pre –post debate. Every passage that describes the same event in scripture DOES NOT have to be identical in every detail to be speaking of the same event. The superscription on the cross is worded differently in in all 4 gospels yet they describe the same event.
I already gave my detailed, scripture based response to your 21st century goggles version of "every eye shall see". feel free to offer a scriptural rebuttal anytime.
I also gave a detailed rebuttal to your claim “For sure, Acts 26:12-18 and Acts 7:54-58 stand as direct fulfillments of Acts 1:11" please explain why you demand a different standard for others.
Now, about Matt 21:33-45....?
Here is what I said in post #198
“Matt:21:45And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
Short answer above verse tells us who it was directly for in that sense fullfilled. As with other parables there are truths that can be applied elsewhere . This "coming "would be His first physical coming. When I ask for scripture yet unfulfilled I am referring to His second physical coming for every eye to see.”
I don’t know what you are looking for here. I went back and reread your response in post #201. Are you trying to get me to agree the coming in the parable vs 40 is the same as Revelation 1:7 and has already happened? If so that’s not going to happen. I already said in post #203 “I believe Jesus can appear at anytime He chooses to anyone He chooses”. Show me a 2nd witness, verse to prove Jesus “came” in or around 70 AD.
Now if you will indulge me I have a few (undetermined number) questions.
Revelation 19:11-16 fulfilled or not?
Revelation 11:15-19 fulfilled or not?
1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 fulfilled or not?
2 Thessalonians 2:1 fulfilled or not?
This is what Bolt says:And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Rev, 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
The above two passages are the same event. Jesus coming down. Future. Very simply, Matt.24:30 is about Jesus return to the earth, because the tribes of the earth see Him coming in the clouds of heaven and mourn. This is again confirm in Rev. 1:7 “all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him”.
Jesus did not get Daniel 7 wrong He just affirmed it.
Does “the coming of the Son of Man” refer to the ‘final judgement’? Well, yes it does! From the perspective of Old Testament expectation, there was a final judgement to come at the end of time, and this was the context in which the Son of Man would come to receive the kingdom from the Ancient of Days. However, when the Messiah eventually came, his resurrection introduced an interesting new period. The end had come, but then thefinal end was delayed, for the sake of allowing humanity more time to repent (see Rom 2:4, 1 Pet 3). So, prior to Jesus’ death and resurrection, the coming of the Son of Man does refer to the ‘final judgement’, but as the days rolled on, in a staggering historical fulfilment of this expectation, the final judgement of God fell upon the Messiah when he hung on the cross. When Luke wrote up the day of Pentecost, he even used the famous apocalyptic language to refer to these events, and the whole of the Book of Revelation enlists apocalyptic imagery to spell out what happened on that day. The end has come. So, whereas the Old Testament looked forward to the final judgement, those who live after Jesus’ death in a very real sense now look back on it!
The separation process that was attached to the final judgement is now operating in human history as the messengers of the Messiah bring the gospel to the world; this is the judgement that Matthew 13 and 25 were looking towards—the sending out of the angels into the world, etc. (see Matt 28:18).
The imagery of the thief is used to convey how certain people will be caught by an event that is unexpected and disastrous. This imagery in Matthew 24:43 can be applied to the generation of Israelites amongst whom Jesus lived and died. Despite Jesus’ warnings, they were taken by surprise by the coming of the Son of Man (i.e. the resurrection). And then, with this historical reality behind them, the image is even more poignant when applied to those from all over the world who will be caught napping when Christ finally returns at the consummation. There is no logical reason why the use of the same image entails its application to the same event. Even though the same image is used, the dramatic change in language indicates that a different event entirely is being spoken of: it is no longer the “Son of Man” in 1 Thessalonians and 1 Peter, but “the day of the Lord”—that is, the one who is now installed as Lord—since he has already come as the Son of Man (in the exaltation, in fulfilment of Daniel 7:13-14) and received the Lordship (in fulfilment of Psalm 110:2).

I don't have time to go through each verse at the moment, but both Peter and I agree that the New Testament clearly teaches the Lord will return to judge the world and rescue his church. Our concern is that much of the gospels are mistakenly used to justify some wacky End-Times-Tables, rather than being read about more gospel orientated subjects.So I can keep straight what scripture goes where in your theory please identify these for me.
Matthew 24:30-31 fulfilled or not?
1 Corinthians 1:7 fulfilled or not?
1 Corinthians 15:23 fulfilled or not?
1 Corinthians 15:51-52 fulfilled or not?
1 Thessalonians 2:19 fulfilled or not?
1 Thessalonians 3:13 fulfilled or not?
1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 fulfilled or not?
1 Thessalonians 5:23 fulfilled or not?
2 Thessalonians 2:1-8 fulfilled or not?
James 5:7-8 fulfilled or not?
1 John 2:28 fulfilled or not?
Revelation 1:7 fulfilled or not?
Revelation 11:15-18 fulfilled or not?
Revelation 14:14-20 fulfilled or not?
Revelation 17 fulfilled or not?
Revelation 19:11-18 fulfilled or not?
Please tell me what you believe not what Bolt believes.

EG: I'm open to Matthew 24 being about Daniel 7 and reading it as Jesus ascension as Peter Bolt does. I think some of the language in Matthew 24 is particularly problematic for that view, and may need some more unpacking. I'm not 100% sold on it, but he does make a strong case that Daniel 7 was NOT about Jesus return but his being welcomed before the Father.
Then there's the Dr Paul Barnett 'split' view, that the passage deals with 2 subjects: the temple being destroyed and the Lord's return. One is local, predictable, imminent (that generation) and you can do something about it! (Run away!)
One is universal, unpredictable, happening on 'That day' (not that generation!) and you can't escape it! This is the historical view that as Jesus walked around the temple he had in mind how he was going to replace it, and the temple would be destroyed (AD 70) and his death & resurrection would lead to his return one day. Split view. 2 subjects: predictable end of that temple that they were walking around and talking about, and unpredictable end of the world when the Lord one day returned. But really? He's looking down on Jerusalem thinking about his death in a week, and the disciples don't even know he's going to die and rise and ascend... so would his 'return' even mean anything to them? Back to Bolt's view.
Why do you use the KJV? I clicked on that verse hyperlink and, to be honest, got the creeps. It's so holiereth thaneth thoueth. The texts it is based on are inferior, and while it did a lot of good in it's day for being in the language of the people, it has ceased being that for a century or so. It's simply not in today's language, and so no longer fulfils the purpose of the original authors. In FACT, now that I think about it, the KJV's use today is exactly contrary to it's original purpose. Just as speaking in Latin was perceived to be the 'holy' language, but alienated the masses, today speaking in KJV is perceived to be the 'holy' language, but alienates the masses. Sorry to go off topic, and I hope to answer your questions about eschatology, but seriously: I'm finding the KJV a real worry on this list!I understand it was a lengthy list, but I didn’t ask for an in depth break down on each verse. A total of 16 words would have answered my question. You said ” the Lord will return to judge the world and rescue his church” , as stated, I believe that too. What scripture reference tells you that will happen. I really am having a hard time figuring out what you believe is fulfilled and what is not, that is why I ask for specifics. Let’s try just one passage. Is 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 fulfilled or not?
The fact that someone disagrees with you does not make them “wacky”.
