Go to Rapture Refuted domicile page

The signs of Matthew 24 prophecies the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD non the second coming and certainly not some "Rapture" theology that was invented in 1830 AD by John Darby. When Christians saw the signs, they fled the city and were saved. Go to Rapture Refuted home page

 1948 Statehood of Israel does not fulfill Bible prophecy!

Introduction:

ane. Historically, Rapture false teachers are always scanning the news headlines for electric current events that are a sign that the second coming of Christ countdown clock has begun to tick. Of course true Christians know that in that location will be no warning or signs leading upwards to the second coming. It might happen today or k years from today.

2. For the 100 years afterwards John Darby invented rapture in 1830 Advertizing, more attention was paid to the pyramids and artistic combinations of numbers to predict the 2d coming. None of them based their finish of the world countdown clock on State of israel becoming a nation in 1948.

3. All these failed predictions that were based on the pyramids an numerology appeared disarming at the fourth dimension to those who sold everything they had, put on white clothes and waited at midnight on rooftops. After the "sure hour" had passed they were struck with thwarting and a feeling of self-stupidity. This always follows in the wake of failed rapture predictions.

4. However since Israel became a nation in 1948 Advertising, Rapturists got all excited and began to preach that the end would come within 1 generation (generally 40 years) of Israeli modern statehood.

5. For example, Harold Camping ground teaches that exactly 40 years after May 14, 1948, that the "church age" came to an cease and ordered everyone to leave their churches in 1988. He and so went on to predict the end of the world not once, simply twice in 1994 and again on May 21, 2011.

half dozen. Almost "Rapture fourth dimension charts" use the establishment of Israel as a nation in 1948 as the beginning of the countdown to the end, challenge it is the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

7. The truth is that Israeli statehood in 1948 was and is irrelevant to Bible prophecy.

8. Paul said the hope of Israel was not physical restoration, but only in Christ:

a. "And at present I am standing trial for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers; the promise to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly serve God nighttime and day. And for this promise, O King, I am existence accused past Jews. "Why is information technology considered incredible among you people if God does raise the expressionless? "And so then, I thought to myself that I had to do many things hostile to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. " (Acts 26:half-dozen–9)

b. "For this reason, therefore, I requested to run across y'all and to speak with you, for I am wearing this chain for the sake of the hope of State of israel." (Acts 28:20)

A. Reverting dorsum to Mosaic Judaism: "severed from Christ"

i. Premillennialists, at their foundation are condemned, considering they teach that God wants the Jews to again do full Mosaic Old Testament Temple worship, complete with animal sacrifices.

a. "It was for freedom that Christ set us gratuitous; therefore keep continuing firm and do not exist subject once more to a yoke of slavery. Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will exist of no benefit to yous. And I testify over again to every human who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Police. Y'all have been severed from Christ, you lot who are seeking to exist justified by law; you accept fallen from grace. " (Galatians v:1–four)

b. "Merely now He has obtained a more first-class ministry, by as much equally He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on amend promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, at that place would take been no occasion sought for a 2nd. … When He said, "A new covenant," He has fabricated the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear." (Hebrews viii:6-7,thirteen)

c. "When He said, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete . Simply whatsoever is condign obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear." (Hebrews 8:xiii)

d. You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace . " (Galatians five:4)

ii. The whole idea of restoring temple worship, with a restored Aaronic priesthood, complete with ashes of the Cherry-red Heifer is to deny Christ every bit the truthful Passover lamb.

3. Those who believe in Rapture are in fact "severed from Christ" (Gal 5:4) considering they are trying to do what the start century Jews wanted to practice: practice Mosaic Judaism beside Christianity.

4. When a Jew converts to Christianity, he stops worshipping God co-ordinate to Moses and takes all his instructions from Christ.

B. Reverting back to Mosaic Judaism:

1. In a complicated intertwining of false doctrines, the reason behind Israel becoming a nation again include 2 main reasons: to fulfill and land promise and to give Jews a 2nd gamble to "not reject Jesus" as their earthly king.

ii. Giving State of israel all the land promised by Abraham which they never got from 1400 BC – 70 AD. In fact they did go all the land, and the bible says they did. State of israel got all the country they were promised!

3. To give the Jews a second hazard at accepting Jesus as their earthly male monarch. In fact, Jesus was never intended to be their earthly king. Jesus was prophesied to be Israel's spiritual king. Jesus plainly told Pilate that he was not an earthly king who would compete with him, but a spiritual rex in heaven:

a. "Therefore Pilate entered once more into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" … Jesus answered, "My kingdom is non of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not exist handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm." Therefore Pilate said to Him, "So You are a male monarch?" Jesus answered, "You say correctly that I am a rex. For this I have been born, and for this I take come into the earth, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My phonation." Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, "I discover no guilt in Him. " (John 18:33–38)

b. It simply cannot get any clearer than what Jesus told Pilate higher up, simply Rapturists won't listen to Jesus and wait him to be a literal concrete king on a concrete throne in the physical land of Israel.

four. Truthful Christians are in a state of shock that dispensationalists desire to restore the Old Testament law along with Temple sacrifices considering information technology is a denial of the sacrifice of Christ'southward blood once for all to finish all fauna sacrifices.

C. The OT prophecies of Israel'south restoral are fulfilled in the church building:

one. There are 2 classes of prophecies regarding the restoration of State of israel:

a. Prophecies of the physical remnant who return from Babylonian captivity in 516 BC.

b. Prophecies of the spiritual remnant in the church that began in 33 A.D. on Pentecost.

2. The level of Bible knowledge of those who believe in the Rapture is very depression. They only read an One-time Testament passage by ripping it out of context and apply it to a still hereafter event 3000 years afterwards!

D. Prophecies of restoration from Babylonian captivity in 516 BC:

one. Jeremiah 29:10–14 "For thus says the Lord, 'When lxx years have been completed for Babylon, I volition visit you and fulfill My expert word to you, to bring you back to this place. 'For I know the plans that I take for y'all,' declares the Lord, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to requite you a time to come and a hope. 'So you volition telephone call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will heed to you lot. 'Yous will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your center. 'I volition exist establish past you,' declares the Lord, 'and I will restore your fortunes and will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven y'all,' declares the Lord, 'and I will bring you lot dorsum to the place from where I sent you into exile.' " (Jeremiah 29:10–fourteen)

a. Jeremiah lived in 568 BC and prophesied the Babylonian captivity in many other texts misused by Rapture false teachers:

i. "'For behold, days are coming,' declares the LORD, 'when I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah.' The LORD says, 'I will also bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers and they shall possess it." (Jeremiah xxx:3–9)

ii. "I basket had very good figs, like showtime-ripe figs, and the other basket had very bad figs which could non be eaten due to rottenness. And so the LORD said to me, "What do you lot run across, Jeremiah?" And I said, "Figs, the practiced figs, very good; and the bad figs, very bad, which cannot be eaten due to rottenness." Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Thus says the LORD God of State of israel, 'Like these good figs, so I will regard as good the captives of Judah, whom I accept sent out of this place into the country of the Chaldeans. " (Jeremiah 24:2–five)

b. Applying Jeremiah's prophecies to 1948 AD is an assail on good bible noesis but those who believe in the Rapture cannot be persuaded past the word of God!

2. Ezekiel 36:24–35 "For I will take y'all from the nations, gather you lot from all the lands and bring you into your own country. "So I will sprinkle clean h2o on y'all, and you will exist clean; I volition cleanse y'all from all your filthiness and from all your idols. "Moreover, I will give you a new middle and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the middle of stone from your flesh and give you a centre of flesh. "I will put My Spirit inside you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and yous will exist careful to observe My ordinances. "You will live in the land that I gave to your forefathers; so you will be My people, and I will be your God. "Moreover, I will save you from all your uncleanness; and I will call for the grain and multiply information technology, and I will not bring a famine on yous. "I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field, then that you will not receive again the disgrace of famine among the nations. "Then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not expert, and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and your abominations. "I am not doing this for your sake," declares the Lord GOD, "let it exist known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel!" 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places will be rebuilt. "The desolate state volition be cultivated instead of being a desolation in the sight of everyone who passes by. "They volition say, 'This desolate land has become like the garden of Eden; and the waste material, desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.' " (Ezekiel 36:24–35)

a. Ezekiel was contemporary with Jeremiah and prophecied the restoration of State of israel from Babylonian captivity, not some far off time to come event in 1948 Advertizement.

b. Ezekiel was exiled into Babylon with Daniel and both knew each other personally.

c. When Israel came out of Babylon, never once again did they worship Idols. This was the new eye he put in Israel.

three. Daniel 9:two "in the first twelvemonth of his reign, I, Daniel, observed in the books the number of the years which was revealed equally the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet for the completion of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years. " (Daniel 9:2)

a. Daniel was one who was actually deported and lived in Babylon.

b. Daniel prophesied the 4 successive kingdoms of Babylon, Mede-Persia, Greece and Rome.

c. Daniel said that the Kingdom of God would be first during the days of the Roman Empire.

d. This was fulfilled in 30 AD on the Solar day of Pentecost.

eastward. The kingdom of prophecy is the church.

f. The "last days" prophesies of Daniel were fulfilled in the first century.

g. Acquire that the showtime days began when Jesus walked the earth.

4. Zechariah 8:one-8 "And so the give-and-take of the LORD of hosts came, saying, "Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'I am exceedingly jealous for Zion, yeah, with bang-up wrath I am jealous for her.' "Thus says the LORD, 'I will return to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And so Jerusalem will be called the Metropolis of Truth, and the mount of the LORD of hosts will be called the Holy Mount.' "Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Old men and old women volition again sit down in the streets of Jerusalem, each homo with his staff in his manus because of age. 'And the streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls playing in its streets.' "Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'If it is too difficult in the sight of the remnant of this people in those days, volition it also be also difficult in My sight?' declares the LORD of hosts. "Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Behold, I am going to save My people from the state of the due east and from the land of the west; and I will bring them back and they will live in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall exist My people, and I will be their God in truth and righteousness.' " (Zechariah 8:1–eight)

a. Zechariah prophesied in 520 BC which is about the fourth dimension Israel returned from Babylonian captivity.

b. Afterward Zech xiv, Zechariah prophesied the devastation of Jerusalem in seventy Advertisement (see below)

5. Deuteronomy four:27–31 "The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and you will exist left few in number among the nations where the LORD drives you. "There you volition serve gods, the work of human being's hands, woods and rock, which neither see nor hear nor consume nor smell. "But from at that place you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if yous search for Him with all your heart and all your soul. "When you are in distress and all these things have come upon yous, in the latter days you will return to the LORD your God and listen to His voice. "For the LORD your God is a compassionate God; He will not fail you nor destroy yous nor forget the covenant with your fathers which He swore to them. " (Deuteronomy iv:27–31)

a. In a shocking brandish of ignorance of even the most simple and key teachings of the Bible, Rapture false teachers actually employ Deut 4:27-31 every bit a proof text that Israel'southward becoming a nation again in 1948 is a fullment of Moses' words. Completely ignoring both the Assyrian captivity of 722 BC and the Babylonian captivity of 586 BC, they jump 3500 years frontward and apply it to 1948 AD.

b. Conspicuously God'due south words came true when they returned from Babylonian Captivity.

Eastward. Prophecies of restoration in the church building in 30 Advertising:

1. Isaiah 11:10–12 "Then in that solar day the nations will resort to the root of Jesse, Who volition stand every bit a signal for the peoples; And His resting place will be glorious. So it will happen on that 24-hour interval that the Lord will again recover the second fourth dimension with His hand The remnant of His people, who volition remain, From Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, And from the islands of the sea. And He will lift up a standard for the nations And assemble the banished ones of State of israel, And will assemble the dispersed of Judah From the 4 corners of the earth. " (Isaiah 11:10–12)

a. Isaiah wrote this in 730 BC

b. Notice the root of Jesse is Jesus Christ

c. The second gathering is in thirty AD.

d. On the day of Pentecost all nations were present: "And how is it that we each hear them in our ain language to which we were built-in? "Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Great socialist people's libyan arab jamahiriya around Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs—nosotros hear them in our own tongues speaking of the mighty deeds of God." (Acts two:8–11)

e. Pentecost is a perfect fulfillment of Isa 11.

2. Isaiah 66:19–24 "I will set a sign among them and will send survivors from them to the nations: Tarshish, Put, Lud, Meshech, Tubal and Javan, to the distant coastlands that have neither heard My fame nor seen My glory. And they will declare My glory among the nations. "So they shall bring all your brethren from all the nations every bit a grain offering to the LORD, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules and on camels, to My holy mount Jerusalem," says the LORD, "simply as the sons of State of israel bring their grain offering in a make clean vessel to the house of the LORD . "I will also take some of them for priests and for Levites ," says the LORD. "For just as the new heavens and the new globe Which I make will endure before Me," declares the LORD, "Then your offspring and your name volition endure. "And it shall exist from new moon to new moon and from sabbath to sabbath , All mankind volition come to bow down before Me," says the LORD. "Then they volition go forth and expect On the corpses of the men Who have transgressed against Me. For their worm will not die And their fire will not be quenched; And they will be an abhorrence to all mankind." (Isaiah 66:xix–24)

a. Isaiah lived in 730 BC, but earlier the Assyrian Captivity of the ten lost tribes in 722 BC.

b. Much of Isaiah is prophetic of Christ and the church building in xxx AD. This is seen in chapters 40-55.

c. Isa 66:19-24 is a prophecy of the church.

d. Like Isa 2:ane-4, it foresees the gentiles in union with the Jews as ane trunk:

i. "Now it will come about that In the last days The mountain of the business firm of the Lord Will be established as the chief of the mountains, And will be raised to a higher place the hills; And all the nations will stream to it. " (Isaiah 2:ii)

ii. "Therefore remember that formerly yous, the Gentiles in the mankind, who are called "Uncircumcision" past the so-chosen "Circumcision," which is performed in the flesh by human hands— call back that you were at that fourth dimension separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the globe. Simply now in Christ Jesus yous who formerly were far off have been brought almost by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into 1 and broke downward the barrier of the dividing wall, by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, then that in Himself He might make the two into one new human being, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity. " (Ephesians 2:11–16)

e. Although Sabbatrians misuse the text as desperately as Rapturists, their suggestion that the Sabbath will be in the church or heaven is refuted by the fact that there volition also be new moon festivals as well. All of it is figurative and non to be taken literally because we know the Ten Commandments were nailed to the cantankerous: Col 2:fourteen-17; Heb 8:6-7; thirteen.

i. "having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees confronting united states, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cantankerous. When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him. Therefore no i is to act as your judge in regard to food or drinkable or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath twenty-four hours— things which are a mere shadow of what is to come up; but the substance belongs to Christ. " (Colossians two:14–17)

ii. "But at present He has obtained a more than first-class ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a 2d. " (Hebrews eight:6–vii)

iii. "When He said, "A new covenant," He has made the beginning obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear. " (Hebrews viii:thirteen)

f. The grain offer is spiritualized in the church where Christians every bit priests (Rev 1:6) offer their own bodies as a spiritual sacrifice (Rom 12:one-2) or monetary gifts to the church ministry building (Phil 4:17-18) or through prayers and songs and alms (Heb 13:15-16)

i. "and He has made u.s.a. to exist a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and always. Amen. " (Revelation 1:half-dozen)

ii. "Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not exist conformed to this earth, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you lot may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and adequate and perfect. " (Romans 12:1–2)

iii. "Non that I seek the gift itself, merely I seek for the profit which increases to your account. But I have received everything in full and have an affluence; I am handsomely supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you accept sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God. " (Philippians 4:17–xviii)

iv. "Through Him then, let united states of america continually offer upward a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that requite thanks to His name. And practise not fail doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. " (Hebrews 13:15–16)

3. Joel 3:1–ii "For behold, in those days and at that time, When I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will assemble all the nations And bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I volition enter into judgment with them in that location On behalf of My people and My inheritance, State of israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; And they accept divided up My land. " (Joel three:1–2)

a. Joel lived in 830 BC, which is before both the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities.

b. Nonetheless, Joel 2:28ff is clearly a prophecy of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost in Acts two

c. Therefore it is clear that this restoration is in the church in thirty Advertising.

4. Amos 9:xi–15 "In that twenty-four hour period I will raise up the fallen booth of David, And wall upwards its breaches; I volition also enhance upwards its ruins And rebuild it as in the days of old; That they may possess the remnant of Edom And all the nations who are chosen by My name," Declares the Lord who does this. "Behold, days are coming," declares the Lord, "When the plowman volition overtake the reaper And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; When the mountains will baste sweet wine And all the hills volition be dissolved. "Also I volition restore the captivity of My people Israel, And they volition rebuild the ruined cities and live in them; They will also institute vineyards and drinkable their wine, And brand gardens and eat their fruit. "I will also establish them on their land, And they will non again be rooted out from their land Which I have given them," Says the Lord your God. " (Amos ix:11–15)

a. Amos lived in 750 BC earlier both the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities.

b. Amos 9:xi-15 is almost certainly a prophecy of the restoration of State of israel in the church building. How can nosotros be certain? Considering Luke records the worlds of James in the Jerusalem quango whose purpose was to determine if the Gentiles tin exist saved without keeping the Mosaic constabulary and circumcision.

c. James quotes Amos 9:11-15 as proof the Gentiles tin be saved!

i. "Simeon has related how God get-go concerned Himself about taking from among the Gentiles a people for His name. "With this the words of the Prophets concord, just as it is written, 'After these things I volition render, And I volition rebuild the tabernacle of David which has fallen, And I will rebuild its ruins, And I volition restore it, So that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, And all the Gentiles who are chosen by My name,' Says the Lord, who makes these things known from long agone. "Therefore it is my judgment that nosotros practice non trouble those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles, " (Acts 15:14–nineteen)

d. Obviously and then, the rebuilt tabernacle of David is the church. If not, then James was a liar and no gentile tin be saved notwithstanding until the tabernacle of David is rebuilt.

e. This kind of clear refutation is ignored by Rapture false teachers considering they ignore the context in beatific ignorance.

F. Prophecies of devastation of Jerusalem in 70 AD:

one. Zechariah xiv "Behold, a day is coming for the Lord when the spoil taken from yous will be divided among yous. For I will gather all the nations confronting Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished and half of the city exiled, just the rest of the people will not be cutting off from the city. Then the Lord will get forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle. In that 24-hour interval His feet volition stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in forepart of Jerusalem on the due east; and the Mountain of Olives will exist divide in its center from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain volition move toward the north and the other half toward the s. Y'all will flee past the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains volition reach to Azel; aye, you will flee only as yous fled before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah rex of Judah. Then the Lord, my God, will come, and all the holy ones with Him! In that day in that location volition be no light; the luminaries volition dwindle. For information technology will be a unique solar day which is known to the Lord, neither day nor night, but information technology will come about that at evening time there will be low-cal. And in that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern ocean and the other half toward the western sea; information technology volition exist in summer also every bit in wintertime. And the Lord will be king over all the earth; in that 24-hour interval the Lord volition exist the only one, and His name the only one. " (Zechariah 14:1–ix)

a. Zechariah prophesied in 520 BC which is nigh the time State of israel returned from Babylonian captivity.

b. Jesus became king of the earth at his rise in 30 Advertizing.

c. Notice that the language of Zechariah is almost identical to that of Matthew 24.

d. This is a prophecy of the devastation of Jerusalem in 70 Advertizement. Read more than

2. Matthew 24:32–33 "Now larn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is most; so, y'all too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. " (Matthew 24:32–33)

a. This greatly driveling text is e'er applied to Israel condign a nation once more in 1848 AD when in fact, it is prophesying the devastation of Jerusalem in seventy AD.

b. Of the 39 places in the Bible where "fig tree" is used, never is Israel called a Fig Tree.

c. In Romans 9, Israel is likened unto an "Olive Tree" but not a fig tree.

d. The Parable of the Fig tree is the only other possible place where Israel is continued with a fig tree:

i. "And He began telling this parable: "A man had a fig tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any. "And he said to the vineyard-keeper, 'Behold, for iii years I have come up looking for fruit on this fig tree without finding any. Cut it downwards! Why does information technology even use upward the ground?' "And he answered and said to him, 'Let it alone, sir, for this year too, until I dig effectually it and put in fertilizer; and if it bears fruit next yr, fine; but if not, cut it down." (Luke xiii:6–ix)

2. Notice that if this is Israel every bit a nation, so information technology is a prophecy of it beingness replaced by the church at the cease of Jesus' three year ministry and/or the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.

e. So the but two possible passages in the Bible where a fig tree is associated with Israel both draw Israel's destruction, not restoration!

3. Luke 21:xx-24 "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is virtually. "Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of the urban center must leave, and those who are in the land must not enter the city; because these are days of vengeance, so that all things which are written will be fulfilled. "Woe to those who are meaning and to those who are nursing babies in those days; for there will exist great distress upon the state and wrath to this people; and they volition fall past the edge of the sword, and will exist led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will exist trampled under pes past the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. " (Luke 21:20–24)

a. Luke 21 prophecies the devastation of Jerusalem in 70 AD past Roman Armies, not its restoration!

b. This passage does not say Jerusalem will exist restored or the temple will be rebuilt.

c. The "times of the Gentiles" correspond to the period when the Gentiles tin can be saved, plainly extending to the second coming.

Conclusion:

i. True Christians are in a country of stupor that dispensationalists desire to restore the Old Testament law forth with Temple sacrifices because it is a denial of the cede of Christ's blood once for all to end all animal sacrifices.

2. Rapture false teachers want Israel to get a nation once more mainly to fulfill the promise of inheriting the land. Problem is, the Bible clearly says State of israel got the land long ago under Joshua and Solomon.

iii. In that location is not a Jew alive today or anyone in the nation of Israel that knows which tribe they are from. It comes every bit a surprise to virtually people that the bulk of Jews living in Israel today are gentile proselytes, beingness Russians who converted to Judaism.

iv. Observe a church in your own habitation boondocks to worship with.
