When the scripture states 'until all these things have occurred' could be referring to all the signs. Armageddon is not a sign. Listener:
valid objection, thank you.
When Jesus said, "--all these things--", would he have meant all the signs, or the complete, all events involved in the consumption of the system of things,? Jewish first and/or cosmic later?
How about the unequalled disaster of Armageddon? unequalled before or after? how about the "taken and abandoned ones", how about the global flood analogy? how about the goats in gehenna? sheep into paradise? so:
Please take into account that we are discussing wt dogma here, which equates "all these things" mentioned with the end of the world, the beginning of paradise for ever.
The Math. 24 generation would not only outlive the different aspects of the preliminary signs, but the whole shebang. and then some. or?
Bsw: if the anointed generation would only make it to the preliminary sign, are you not really shortchanging them?
