It does seem to be worth considering to see if it is what is really said or implied here or if our teachings on this passage was not the intention of the writer. (St. Matthew)

Back in the late 1980's (remember the
"87 Reasons", then the
"88 Reasons" ...?) I went around asking many of our brethren about this very passage. Dallas Theological Seminary's Dwight Pentecost's book "
Things to Come" was a standard text book on eschatology and he discusses this apparent "flip-flop" of interpretation.
Nobody I asked even wanted to discuss it. They were all afraid of being either being wrong or being quoted. There's some real disconnects when it comes to some of our pet doctrines and the Bible.
John 3:5 is another example.
Acts 2:15 is a doozy.
