    "Inaugurated eschatology".

    Thank you for that GT. 'The hour cometh, and now is'.

    Life is short--pray hard.

    God told Peter a thousand years is a day and a day a thousand years.

    Using that equation, if one lives to be a hundred that is 2.4 hours in God's time. It all fits: we are coming up on the end of the 6th day since creation. The seventh day being the Millenium--a rest day.

    The mystery of iniquity is already at work. It has not yet been two days since Jesus was here--in God's time, keeping in mind that God is not bounded by time.

    Even so, come Lord Jesus.

    That verse is thus signifing that there is no time with God--he is not a time oriented creature like we are-hes eternal--we are time creatures on this earth and we relate to time in almost everything we do and think--SHORTLY and SOON,IS AT HAND,AND NOW IS--all these are time constraints that we humans are related unto-- so in the language of the new testament SHORTLY and SOON means in the life time of the ones who lived at that time :)

    Following your logic then those who lived at that time must have been "eye" witnesses of the following event and "wailed"...

    Revelation 1
    5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
    6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
    7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

    I mean no offence but the truth is your avoiding the fact all those things have not come to pass either in their generation or in ours. So with your thinking is Jesus Christ a liar?
