  great question

  wizzstick

  this one takes alot of working out. Most scholars believe that the apostle John died around the year AD 96. This is a result of one of the church fathers, Irenaeus, who made the statement that John was still alive near the end of the reign of Domitianou. According to Ed Stevens’ book First Century Events in Chronological Order; page 9, this is a reference to Nero, not the emperor Domitian who reigned from 81-96. Nero reigned from 54-68. Due to a misunderstanding of names, John was believed to live a long life and therefore most put the writing of the book of revelation at a late date which would be after the second return of Christ and the rapture which all occurred around AD 70. There is absolutely no sense in John writing an entire book dedicated to the destruction of Jerusalem after it was destroyed. The book of Revelation was the announcement that the parousia was about to begin; and he was correct.

  Nero was an adoptive name he used as emperor. His birth name was Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus. According to Stevens, “There are several scholars who believe that Irenaeus was referring to Nero when he said that John was still alive toward the end of the reign of Domitianou. This is an adjective form of Domitius (Nero’s family name) and not the adjective form of Domitians’s name (which would instead be Domitianikos).” In other words, John more than likely died during the Neronic persecution before AD 70. This was during the great tribulation period from 63-70 which Jesus warned of. His second coming according to all of the New Testament writers including Jesus would occur during that generation. Since Jesus predicted that John and James would both be martyred, ( John during the Parousia period), this means that John did not stay alive for the rapture that was predicted by Jesus, Paul and others. Jesus predicted that the two brothers would be martyred and that John would be martyred during the Parousia. In Mark 10:35-40 Jesus predicts the martyrdom of the two brothers. James was indeed killed in 44 AD. However, according to John 21:22-23, John would not be martyred at the beginning of the Parousia. The Parousia lasted about 3 ½ years. Any saint left alive after the tribulation was raptured, then the wrath began on those that murdered the saints and Christ. The church after this point started all over again by use of the Holy Spirit and the scriptures that were left behind and by those that were converted after the rapture.

  totally not cofty

  The end of the old covenant meant an end to the penalties of it thats why it is written the law brings condemnation and death so the burden of man was to keep the law. Which no man is able to do except Christ

  Which means he defeated death put an end to sin forever and all sins past present and future are forgiven

  where there is no law there is no sin

  where there is no sin there is no judgement

  where there is no judgement there is no death

  Mankind restored to its original state and back into fellowship with God forever

  All set free from the burden of death upon them.

  not by anything you can do or earn but by the finished work of christ

  when he was crucified you were crucified

  when he died you died

  when he was buried you were buried

  when he was resurrected you were resurrected

  this is the free gift to all man who comes to christ
