Rome surrounded Jerusalem. The Romans brought idols on their standards into the city which was the HOLY CITY Jerusalem.
Consider some scholars:
Many here already know my beliefs on this, and I am not wanting to go into that direction completely either, but it does relate to this thread. But earthquakes and wears were wildly in occurrence after the cross until Jerusalem was destroyed. I have history to prove it. |
Isn't there a phenomenon with scripture where some prophecies can have more than one meaning or more than one fulfilling?
I haven't given a whole lot of serious thought to this subject-- I just believe that Christ is not returning until the whole world hears the Gospel and that hasn't happened yet.
The history you refer to, does it include history of the (then) unknown regions of the world (like North America, Iceland and the Canary Islands)?
Then there is the question with huge implications:
Which Gospel?
Oneness, "Easy-Believism"-- if PAW reaches Madagascar with the Gospel, but their Missionaries don't preach standards, then, for some, those folks are still lost in sin because they are not holy.
Do you realize just how many folk live in China?
Do you really think God is going to come back without giving them all a chance for salvation?
If you think God will come back without letting them hear the Gospel, then you have to believe that the "
Acts 2:38" model of "The Gospel" can not be the only way for someone to have saving faith in Christ.
Unless you're willing to make the leap that God is just going to destroy all those folks, without a chance, without a hope-- doomed to an eternity of torture by the Hands of a Savior that refused to reach out and save them.
Doesn't sound like the Savior I know loves me....
