Dear Bruce:

With re:2nd Thess.1:8 " In flaming fire taking vengence on them that
know not God, and that obey not 
the gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ." What you are saying does not make
sense. The Saints have
God's Spirit living within them so how could they not know God? As a
child of God we are to obey the
Gospel so how do you get out of that no rapture!

Sincerly Judy

It would certainly be understandable to see "completions" of many of
Jesus
foretellings, w/ the destruction of the physical Temple of 70AD...  but
also
comes the human tendency, a personal propensity to look no further and
"camp" at a firm conclusion...

Did ya ever wonder if our Lord spoke in such a fashion, that every
generation, since that first, might also see many of these matters
during
their lifetimes?  I mean, if we had been a part of the generation that
saw
an anti-christ papacy rise to dominate physical political/religious
power,
wouldn't we have been certain, this is what Jesus was telling us to
look
for?  What of those that saw the sudden rise of Nero?... or...
Diocleties/Constantine?  What of Charlemagne?  Of Napoleon?  And surely
we
have not looked past that time period, where Hitler offered his
ruthless
"final solution"?  Surely if we had seen his victims tattooed w/
numbers,
(Jew and Christian) while engaging the whole world to war - would we
have
NOT said - Jesus will return post immediately!  Always the world's
anti-christ arising and a faithful remnant Looking to Jesus ...  I
believe
that is the history recorded...

To the One that is Truth - all truth is held simultaneous in the I
AM...
and every generation given eyes to see and ears to discern, shall see
the
merit and application of His superior insight and wisdom...  With this
blessed hope, our eyes and ears shall be trained on Him...  as we too
echo
from deep within our hearts...  Come Lord Jesus! \O/

As for me, I hold fewer "final conclusions" than what I might had
first
supposed...  All of my shakable shall be shaken, until such time, at
what is
unshakable - He shall remain...

Yet in my Conclusion:  I do not completely comprehend, neither can I
rightfully
defend, nor prove...  BUT I am increasingly confident...

"As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
And at <the> last, He will take His stand on the earth.
 "Even after my skin is destroyed,
Yet from my flesh I shall see God;
 Whom I myself shall behold,
And whom my eyes will see and not another.
My, <how my> heart yearns within me!

JimP - kentucky

These would be fanciful words, and rightfully worthy of ridicule, had
they
not been spoken longtime before me by Job 19: 25-27

Jim P - do not go too fast past these words.
If it is/was true that "In a little while..." they did not see Jesus,
then it certainly must be
also true that "after a little while you will see me" means the same -
a little while.  What is
a little while?  greater than 2000 years?  Or, is a little while more
like "this generation"
type meaning...

We must try to keep in mind that we are not fighting here on any issue.
 We are in a manner
experimenting, and I am enjoying the additions you are putting into
this, Bruce - thank you.
My faith is not built on history:
Ro 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of
God.
Therefore I say don't believe history.  History on the other hand does
present things some have
written.  Not all of history is written, not all of history is factual,
it remains history.
The Word of God on the other hand is the Word of God - we do not toy
with it, we do not change
it, we come to know all of God by the Word of God.  We constantly look
for verification of
history and in speaking of what is written history, we continue to look
for verification - not
so with the Bible.  Josephus is a good historian of the period of AD70
time period.  I have not
read Josephus, and there are others.  Historys corroborate the history
of the Bible.  Historys
conflict.  Actually now, think with me about Jesus appearing as we
expect at AD70.  That
appearing will be to take his own and others who were there - did
they/will they see Jesus? or
is this appearing for the redeemed and thus something that will not be
recorded in history.
Perhaps this enters into this AD70 time?

What do we call the time after Jesus' appearing - kingdom?  Is there
any character of this time
that speaks to kingdom?

Did we get it wrong?  Could we get it wrong?  Did the leaders of Israel

Never say never.  I hold nothing more secure than the Bible.  Ideas,
theology, etc are all
suspect and are held/argued and tentatively held.  That is all I am
doing here - I hope you
understand.

Bruce, my mind gets made up from time to time as it appears yours has
been made up on this
issue.  On this issue, my mind is not made up, therefore I entertain
the realities of scripture
regarding the things others present.  I am on the outside of these
"partial preterist"
presentations willing to learn.  I don't think I will be able to make
up my mind, but I do want
to be open to the work of God in these matters in my life - I do not
want to make up my mind.
Jesus appears? - I am waiting and live accorging to the Bible.  Jesus
has appeared? - I live
according to the Bible.  No difference in how we live, really.

Good to see you again, brother. 

Thanks to those who have introduced other themes while we're slowly and

politely working through some prophetic things.

The Present is The Present.

Forgive the past, leave it behind. Don't worry about the future. Be
faithful and enjoy the present.

That's the best Present we can experience in Christ and each other. 

That's the best Present we can give to others.

I thought some of you might find this amusing!  Please, geeks, don't
take it too seriously.

For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way
computers have enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent computer expo
(COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the
auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the
computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got
1,000 miles to the gallon". 

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release
stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be
driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this)

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day. 

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to
buy a new car. 

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You
would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the
windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you
could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this. 

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause
your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would
have to reinstall the engine. 

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was
reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run
on only five percent of the roads. 

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all
be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation"
warning light. 

7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying. 

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out
and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door
handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna. 

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn
how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate
in the same manner as the old car. 

10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

Jim and others,

I have been intrigued by this subject for some time now. For myself, I
hold
no firm conclusions on the entire chapter 24 of Mat thew,  but parts of
it do
seem to have been fulfilled long ago. I hope to hear and learn more
along
these lines, but for now I can truly identify with Jim P's comments:
>
> As for me, I hold fewer "final conclusions" than what I might had
first
> supposed...  All of my shakable shall be shaken, until such time, at
what
is
> unshakable - He shall remain...

One thing for certain: The manner in which the prophecies of the Bible
are
fulfilled WILL be known by all in due time! Those who love and obey Him
will
be in a much better place than perhaps even those who understood the
mysteries correctly, but were lacking in such love!

While I agree with you Jim that history has repeated itself many
times,
there are indications that the "closed" portions of the Book are
becoming
more open to each generation. These conversations on the internet are
playing a part in getting us to open our minds to possibilities which
before
we could not even allow.

If we can believe that evil men will wax worse and worse in the latter
days,
perhaps we can also believe and look for the time when the "knowledge
of the
glory of the Lord will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea!"
When I
consider that bright future He has planned, my lack of detailed
knowledge
concerning it does not hinder. I just want that vision to flood my
heart,
mind and body, giving hope, zeal and a greater adoration for my Lord!

If you want an interesting viewpoint on Mat 24 and other such verses 
I
suggest two possibilities.

A.  Ask a non Christian who is not familiar with dispensation theology
to
read the verses in question.

or

B.  Go the a Christian who is being persecuted in a 3rd world country
and
ask their opinion on these issues.

I have done both and I was amazed at the answers.

I have had several people who are totally unfamiliar with the
scriptures
read Mat thew 24, 2 Thes 2 and several chapters in Daniel.   Every one
of
then read the scriptures and said they felt the church would go through
the
"tribulation".

In regards to those who live in current persecuted
countries............

I have traveled on the eastern European countries and the middle east,
I
have never met a Christian who believed in dispensation theology or
the
pretrib rapture.  However, I have met several who have traveled to the
west
to attend Seminary (cemetery) and they were forced to amend their
beliefs to
pass the classes.

All in all, I believe dispensation theology is a western church belief
