Chuck, here's the fourth one for you to deny and pretend
you didn't see it, or respond to it, snipping and pretending
the words don't exist, both of which you did the last time
I posted the info from the "church fathers" that you claim
didn't exist, no matter how many times I posted it and
pretended that none of them said that Christ returned
already, so you could keep lying, claiming that my belief
is some new thing!
How the Jewish writers (including the Talmud) saw the events
and figures of the 70 AD event:
The Jewish Talmud on the Significance of
the Forty Year Period):
"Our Rabbis taught: During the last forty years before
the destruction of the Temple.. the doors of the Hekal
would open by themselves, until R. Johanan b. Zakkai
rebuked them, saying: Hekal, Hekal, why wilt thou be
the alarmer thyself (Predict thy own destruction)?
I know about thee that thou wilt be destroyed, for
Zechariah ben Ido has already prophesied concerning
thee: Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may
devour thy cedars" (The Soncino Talmud, Seder Mo'ed,
vol. III Toma, p. 186) [Note: This was fulfilled to the
letter! See: The History Of The Destruction Of Jerusalem]
The Sibylline Oracles on the Cause of the Desolation:
"And then Israel, intoxicated, will not perceive nor yet
will she hear, afllicted with weak ears. But when the
raging wrath of the Most High comes upon the Hebrews
it will also take faith away from them, because they did
harm to the Son of the heavenly God... Then when the
Hebrews reap the bad harvest, a Roman king will ravage
much gold and silver. Thereafter there will be other
kingdoms continuously, as kingdoms perish and they
will afflict mortals. But there will be a great fall for
those men when they launch on unjust haughtiness.
But when the temple of Solomon falls in the illustrious
land cast down by men of barbarian speech with bronze
breastplates, the Hebrews will be driven from their land;
wandering, being slaughtered, they will mix much darnels
in their wheat. There will be evil strife for all men; and
the cities, violated in turn, will weep for each other on
receiving the wrath of the great God in their bosom,
since they committed an evil deed. An evil storm of war
will also come upon Jerusalem from Italy, and it will sack
the great Temple of God whenever they put their trust
in folly and cast off piety and commit repulsive murders
in front of the Temple... A leader of Rome will come to
Syria who will burn the Temple of Jerusalem with fire,
at the same time slaughter many men and destroy the
great land of the Jews with its broad roads. Then indeed
an earthquake will destroy at once Salamis and Paphos
when the dark water overwhelms Cyprus, which is washed
by many waves."
On Jerusalem:
He seized the divinely built Temple and burned the citizens
and peoples who went into it, men whom I rightly praised.
For on his appearance the whole creation was shaken and
kings perished, and those in whom sovereignty remained
destroyed a great city and righteous people... For murder
and terrors are in store for all men because of the great
city and righteous people which is preserved throughout
everything which Providence held in special place.
On Nero, the Beast:
Think about the following, which does talk about Nero
and look at the history at that time and this will ring
Biblical bells for you!!! :)
"Then Beliar will come from the Sebastinoi [i.e., the line
of Augustus] and he will raise up the height of mountains,
he will raise up the sea, the great fiery sun and ****ning
moon, and he will raise up the dead... But he will, indeed,
also lead men astray, and he will lead astray many faithful,
chosen Hebrews, and also other lawless men who have not
yet listened to the word of God."
"One who has fifty as an initial will be commander,
a terrible s****, breathing out grievous war, who one day
will lay hands on his own family and slay them, and throw
everything into confusion, athlete, charioteer, murderer,
one who dares ten thousand things. He will also cut the
mountain between two seas and defile it with gore. But
even when he disappears he will be destructive. Then
he will return declaring himself equal to God. But he
will prove that he is not. Three princes after him will
perish at each other’s hands."
"...a savage-minded man, much-bloodied, raving nonsense,
with a full host numerous as sand, to bring destruction
on you."
"...a terrible and shameless prince whom all mortals
and noble men despise. For he destroyed many men
and laid hands on the womb.
"There will come to pass in the last time about the waning
of the moon a war which will throw the world into confusion
and be deceptive in guile. A man who is a matricide will
come from the ends of the earth in flight and devising
penetrating schemes in his mind. He will destroy every
land and conquer all and consider all things more wisely
than all men. He will immediately seize the one because
of whom he himself perished. He will destroy many men
and great rulers, and he will set fire to all men as no one
else ever did. Through zeal he will raise up those who
were crouched in fear. There will come upon men a
great war from the West. Blood will flow up to the band
of deep-eddying rivers. Wrath will drip in the plains
of Macedonia, an alliance to the people horn the West,
but destruction for the king."
"...making himself equal to God."
--
The Last Days were in the first century:
Matthew 3:7,10,12
7) But when He saw many of the Pharisees and
Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto
THEM, O GENERATION of vipers, who hath
warned YOU to flee from the wrath to come?
10) And NOW also the axe is laid unto the root
of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth
not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into
the fire.
12) Whose fan is in his hand, and he will
throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat
into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff
with unquenchable fire.
