Re: Rapture Are You Ready???

Sorry guys, I was gone for the weekend and I'm hustling to catch up.
No I don't believe that Jesus came in 70 AD. My understanding of Revelation
is that it is about the Roman persecution of the church and has been fulfilled
up to Rev.20:6. We await the coming of our Lord, who will return on judgment day.

As for why it seems I believe Jesus came in 70 AD is because of my interpretation
of Mt.24:30 which I see as apocalyptic and referencing the destruction of Jerusalem
not by Christ Himself but by the Romans. To understand this one must go to Isa19:1
and see Isa. referencing the Assyrians coming to destroy the Egyptians, when Isa
speaks of God coming in the clouds, it means God is going to raise up a nation
to punish a nation. Mt.24:30 is not referencing judgment day or it contradicts Mt.24:34
