The Prophecies of The Messiah were about the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. It has nothing to do with the end of the world etc. Jesus told those people in that 1st century generation that some of them would still be alive to see him return and he aslo told the high priest he would see the son of man coming on the clouds.Also they would not finish going through all thecities of Israel before the son of man returns. Revelation was written to the 7 churhce sin Asia minor in the 1st century. So on the premise that Jesus did not lie or mislead.He came did in fact coem back to take his elect in the 1stcentruy where they rule with him in the KIngdom. He is a King, so he must have a KIngdom right !. If he has a kingdom he has co rulers etc. The KIngodm is spiritual and cannot be seen or touched physically but we cnaenter into it spiritually and when we die those who bleeive in The Messiah alone will enter into the Kingdom forever. That is the promise andassurance.All teachings of man, churches, organisations are adelusion and an illusion to stop oyu entering into the KIngdom right now. You are the temple for The Lord to dwell in. If you have surrendered to him alone you will know this because he himself will teahc you and lead you.FIst of all you have to go through anguish to be set free form the chains of man and others. He sets you free in him . Enter in with prasie and worship in there you find true peace, joy, etc. You will not have the need of anything else.Peace and love.

Not only that, but the Gospels were written after Jerusalem had been destroyed. Do we therefore sense a degree of anti-Semitism creeping in, telling the Jews that the coming Messiah had nothing to do with Jerusalem?
Hence Jesus says to his followers (part of his group, anyway), that events such as wars and earthquakes have no relevance to Messaih's Coming.

thanks DOug
Yeahthe symbolic metaphors used in revelation have surely caused mass misinterpretation for over three hundred years.
