More importantly He did not say anything to make them think it will. We're not to think of everything Jesus and the apostles said WOULD NOT happen in order to figure out what will occur by process of elimination. How many variables of what He specifically did not say would happen can we think of? It is limitless! Hence, we have to more logically read what He and the apostles distinctly and explicitly said WOULD happen and stand ONLY on that, and assume nothing else will happen. We have to go by what He and the apostles preached. We do that with doctrine. Why not prophecy?
If Apostolics did with doctrine what they do with prophecy, who knows what nonsense of salvation they would come up with?
MTD, would you claim we can look at how to be saved through the perspective of saying that whatever Jesus and the apostles DID NOT specifically speak AGAINST are things we can believe for in regards to how to be saved? We're so stringent on what the apostles explicitly preached for salvation and allow for no assumption, but it's totally opposite for prophecy beliefs.
