Parousis

37For just as the days of Noah were, so the parousia of the Son of man will be.38For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,39and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away, so the parousia of the Son of man will be.
- 12Consequently, my beloved ones, just as you have always obeyed, not only during my parousia but now much more readily during my absence, keep working out your own salvation with fear and trembling.—Philipians 2:1,2

WHEN is the Kingdom of God coming?

by Fisherman in

when is the kingdom of god coming?.

on being asked by the pharisees when the kingdom of god was coming, he answered them: “the kingdom of god is not coming with paratherisis; 21 nor will people say, ‘see here!’ or, ‘there!’ for look!

the kingdom of god is in your midst.” —lu 17:20,21. .

The idea of predicting when he would return was spoken against bt Jesus.

Depends on how you read because Daniel predicted 7x and his first coming. In M24 Jesus was referring to the climax of his parousia ( not knowing the day and hour) Obviously because nop point in keeping on the watch and he ver shows up because it ain’t the season. Also Jesus have signs pertaining to the generation of this return.

You’re misconstruing how the ‘parousia’

How?

which explicitly follows the ‘great tribulation’

It does not.

and the selection of 1914 is based on entirely false premises anyway.

It is not.

Getting back to 1914 which is the subject here, it seems logical that some of the people if not most of the people that heard the preaching message would be alive to experience the consequences of not listening like in the days of Noah—and not die of natural causes. People are born all the time and would be listening to same message 200 years after 1914 and even farther away if the gt does not happen and the preaching work would be insignificant to the people that died only to be resurrected again. In the days of Noah, people lived longer than they do now so 120 years later most people would be alive to see the end but people don’t live that long during 1914 so like in the days of Noah the end should come in the lifetime of the people who heard the message—at least it doesn’t seem logical that everybody just dies naturally and the end comes later on. In the days of Noah not taking note were swept away; in the 1st century they were massacred by the Romans and in prior times too where a preaching message was experienced such as during the era of the prophets and first temple people involved also saw and lamented their rejection of not listening. It is only logical that during the parausia it would be just like all these previous times. So here we are 108 years later born in to when the preaching work began. So what happens to the millions or more that were around when the preaching work began and took no note only to die naturally 100 years later and not swept away by armageddon? 1914 surely applies to the anointed but by the same token must also apply to those that take no note.

A lot of criticism but scholar’s commentary stand up.
