Rev. 9:10: Historical Facts vs. Futurist Fiction

What is asked are three different questions. Jesus answers the second two. Matthew 24:2-3. . . . The answer in Luke 19:44 Jesus tells Jerusalem, ". . .thou knewest not the time . . . ."

 

Maybe you should've checked what else was on your flagpole.

Jesus said the AOD will occur, so it MUST occur. It did NOT occur in the old temple. Titus was NOT the 'man of sin"; he failed to meet many of the Scriptural criteria for that man. He worshipped the Roman pantheon, while the antichrist won't recognize any god but himself. He had no miracle-working false prophet sidekick. He didn't issue any marka the beast. He didn't set up a statue of himself in that temple if he even entered it at all. And he was not the big kahoona; he was willingly subservient to his father Vespasian. And he was not cast alive into the LOF. he died of illness, commonly called a "fever".

Paul wrote in 2 Thess.2: 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

So, the AOD MUST be future, in a new temple. Rev. 13 provides more detail, mentioning he will be accompanied by the false prophet & they'll set up a statue of the big shot in the temple, in replication of Antiochus Epiphanes' first AOD in the 160s BC, the model for the one Jesus prophesied. None of that occurred in the old temple, but it's prophesied in Scripture, so it MUST occur!

As for "the holy place", the new temple will be as much of a dupe of the old temple as possible. Since the ark is in the heavenly temple, out of Indiana Jones' reach, I don't know what the Jews will place in it. And I also don't know what fire they'll use to light their altar.

I agree it won't really be a temple of God, as Jesus won't be worshipped in it. But the world will view it as such, & it'll have an area the Jews will call "the holy place" in it, & they & much of the world will believe it is!

So please check your flagpole again !

 

So when did all of the living saints back then get glorified bodies?

 

I believe once again we've proven preterism false.

 

Where does John write about the Temple in Jerusalem?

 

In what history was the physical resurrection of the dead and alive in Christ recorded down AD 70?

 

Yes, there ARE still sabbaths! God commanded Israel to keep them FOREVER. And most of the Decalogue is still in force. (You shall not murder, steal, commit adultery, etc.)

And this does NOT account for the fact that the AOD did NOT occur in the old temple. The beast hasn't come yet. I showed you that neither Titus nor any of the Romans met the Scriptural criteria for the beast. There was no miracle-working false prophet nor any talking statues. The event simply HASN'T YET HAPPENED.

 

Sure. You've presented nothing to support it while I've presented plenty of proofs that it's false.
