Re: Brother Irvin Baxter Jr Endtime Magazine
Sorry, folks, but when I read Jesus say that everything he listed would take place in a single generation, and one of the items on the list was the destruction of the temple they looked at that day, it's pretty plain to me. And in comparison of all synoptic gospels, the Sign of His coming was plainly the sign when the temple would be destroyed. And with NOT ONE SINGLE reference to a future coming from our day's perspective in the entire Gospel of Matthew before chapter 24, with references to His coming in their day at the end of Matt 16 and references to AD70 destruction in Matt 21 where he asked what God would do when he "comes" to the vineyard, followed by acknowledgment that the Pharisees knew He spoke of THEM in that coming, it's so plainly biblically evident that I don;t need history. That does IN NO WAY say history contradicts the belief but I believe it anyway. I am simply saying the scriptures are too plain to have to require history as well.
