I would like to talk about the day of the Lord but firstbi think it's important to establish some facts about Math.24. Please answer the following questions with a yes or no answer. Add one sentence if you feel it's necessary to qualify your answer.
According to Math.24:1-3 is the context of this chapter about the destruction of Jerusalem in 70ad? Yes or no
Since in the Greek the word for "world" actually means "age", is it logical to assume that the "end of the age" refers to the end of the "Mosiac age" which was still in operation and not to the "church age" which had not even come into existence yet? Yes or no
In verse 15 when Jesus says to his disciples "you shall see the abomination of desolation...", is it not grammatically and contextually correct to suppose that Jesus meant the people whom he was talking to would see this? Yes or no
Since Jesus said "that generation" (you shall see) would see the abomination of desolation, is it correct to assume that they in fact saw it? Yes or no
In verse 29 is Jesus quoting/referencing OT scriptures such as Isa.13:10 Ezekiel 32:8 Joel.2:31 Amos 8:9, and are these OT scriptures speaking of the "day of the Lord"? Yes or no
In verse 30 when Jesus says "...the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven", us he making reference to Dan.7:13..."the Son of man cane with the clouds of heaven..."? Yes or no
In verse 34 when Jesus said "this generation" he was literally looking at and speaking to his contemporary "generation"? Yes or no
Since Jesus was speaking to his own contemporary generation when he said "this generation", it is therefore grammatically and contextually correct to assume that the generation he was referring to was the generation he was speaking to (his 1st century generation)? Yes or no
