Good message sir! When Jesus says “summer is nigh”, he’s pointing to Amos 8. I encourage you read the whole chapter, it’s very revealing. Amo 8:1 Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit. Amo 8:2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
@@ChristCenteredEschatology When your reading Amos 8 keep in mind that many dead bodies were cast from the ground when Jesus died on the cross (Matthew 27:50-53). Also on that same day the sun went down at noon just like Amos 8 said it would.
@@ChristCenteredEschatology I can't agree with it, seems like there's too much scripture that would indicate that 70 ad was only a type of what was to come, but not a complete fulfillment. I believe it is written that when we are translated is when we will no longer be able to sin for real. Until then, we struggle. I also think the Kingdom is a literal structure built in heaven that will descend as the New Jerusalem. There are some things I see as quite literal and some things figurative or spiritual, just like we talk. I guess I'm in complete agreement on who the mother harlot is but not on the when of things. I'm interested to know what are your thoughts on the beatitudes from a preterist perspective?
@@kickdragon What scripture would that be? I was a dispensationalist for most of my life, when I learned that it was wrong I studied to find out what Jesus’s eschatology was and looked for passages that were yet to be fulfilled. After several years of studying I found that there are none. We are living in the never ending new covenant age. We must understand that the Bible was not written to us and we must let the Bible interpret the Bible. As far the meek shall inherit the earth, it should be land not earth and as a part of true Israel, we have inherited the true promised land.
