Joe,
It isn't that I say it. Commentators, my RSV Study Bible has verses 20-24 with the header as "The destruction of Jerusalem."
For verses 25-28 it has as a header; "The Second Advent of Christ."
Also, my KJV Chain Reference Bible does that. Look at the various commentators. They all, as far as I know say this.
Verse 20 does conclude the paragraph about the Gentiles and then moves on to another subject as he so often does in scripture.
? Sunami in Mt 21:25 ??

That verse was interesting.
IMHO all one's doctrines need to fit
together to make a consistent whole
world view. This makes sense cause God
makes sense and cannot do otherwise (when
we understand His will).
IMHO a minor event like this tsanami
just isn't of "Biblical porportions".
Read about the earthquakes of Revelation:
1. Revelation 6:14 (HCSB):
the sky separated like a scroll being rolled up;
and every mountain and island was moved from its place.
2. Revelation 16:20 (HCSB):
Every island fled, and the mountains disappeared.
The first rattles the mountains and islands;
the second destroys the mountains and islands
shaking them to pieces: the islands covered with sea,
the mountains flattened.
Maybe a scale 8.0 earthquake caused the death recently
of 150,000. The Rev 6:14 will be like 1 million such
eathquakes all at once (scale 14.0).
The Rev 16:20 will be 1,000
times more than the Rev 6:14 (scale 17.0).
Matthew 24:22 (HCSB):
Unless those days were cut short, no one would survive.
But because of the elect those days will be cut short. -
It's late!
Snowmobiling tomorrow! Later! -
May God's best blessings get all over you

Are there more homosexuals now than
there were 40 years ago? No, 40 years
ago they were in the closet; now they
are out of the closet.
I find it a hard teaching that God is
letting the homosexuals dictate the
time of His return :confused:
I think i'd rather think it is the people who
suffer and pray for His return. -
THE SEA AND THE WAVES ROARING ==SUNAMI ????
What say ye? </font>[/QUOTE]Nope. :rolleyes: -
Ed,
You said;
2) But, Christ in very clear language that an 8 year old can understand, he says that "on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulphur rained from heaven and destroyed them all - SO WILL IT BE on the day when the Son of man is revealed."
God used the natural occurences like lightening, bitumen, and possibly an earthquake to destroy Sodom and Gomorah.
Sodom and Gomorah, more than likely, had LESS people destroyed than the Sunami did.
The "parting of the Red Sea" was a use of the natural elements to destroy the wicked too. Now, that was a Sunami!

Now, about the homosexual quote of yours;
1) There are many more homosexuals than there were 40 years ago even though they were "in the closet." But it isn't so much the numbers but the acceptance of the lifestyle within society as a whole, and even worse, it is being legitimized within many of the "Christian" churches today. You can't tell me that that is the same as it was 40 years ago. Are you not aware of the epidemic of aids in Africa alone? It is the immorality of this type of sin and the despising the authority of God that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
God destroyed those who did not believe "...just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise acted immorally and indulged in unnatural lust, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire." (Jude 7)
Again, "...if He rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the licentiousness of the wicked...then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgement, and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion AND despise authority." (2 Peter 2:4-10)
In the days of Lot, homosexuality was rampant. Before Lot and the two visiting angels of destruction went to bed that night, "...the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house; and they called to Lot, 'Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them." (Gen 19:1-11) -
Keep watching trailblazer...
Mark 13
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not
when the time is.
34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far
journey, who left his house, and gave authority
to his servants, and to every man his work, and
commanded the porter to watch.
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the
master of the house cometh, at even, or at
midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the
morning:
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
James 5
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the
coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman
waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and
hath long patience for it, until he receive the
early and latter rain.
8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts:
for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. -
Trailblazer: "Is there hope here for you Ed?)"
No, i am a hopelessly incurable Jesus Phreaque!!
Trailblazer: "Ed, Why do you use this verse? It's the
Great Tribulation that you, as a pre-tribber says you won't be here for!"
Amen, I won't be here for the Great Tribulation.
But i'll be in heaven pleading that my lost friends don't
have to suffer too greatly, that my now saved Jewish
Israeli elect saints will be spared, pleading with
Jesus that he not kill everybody, all life on
earth. I'll be of
the elect who "because of the elect those days
will be cut short".
Trailblazer: "Are you not aware of the epidemic of aids in Africa alone?"
Yes. Are you aware that the aids epidemic in Africa
is 98% among heterosexuals? Are you aware that the portion
of aids victums is perportional to the percentage of Christians
in each sub-sarahian country? Are you aware that the men seek
sex with un-aids victums and that they are having sex with
children (12 or less)? Are you aware that God commaned the
Children of Israel to kill all of certain tribes of Cannianites
because they had sex with children? (And probably had AIDS
as well, but that is speculation only.)?
Less than 2% of American society contilnues to be
practicing homosexuals. 40% of Americans are Pagan.
Where does the problem really lie?
40% of American are slipped "Christians";
2% are homosexual -- Where is the problem in America?
