Ringo, the point I made about military technology is
that at the time Jesus gave this speech (which includes
The entirety of chapters 23 through 25) is that 2000
years ago man's ability to annihilate itself was
Impossible.
Only during the 20th Century did man develop the
military weapons that would enable mankind to
completely annihilate itself.
Matthew 24:22 "And except those days should be
Shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for
the elect' sake those days shall be shortened.
The crowd at that time didn't witness total
destruction. Only this present generation can see
all that is mentioned in chapter 24.
I guess my reference to Revelation 11 was also
beyond you understanding.
I'm not trying to be sarcastic here; it's just that
sometimes it is best to be direct.
Only the generation that sees all these things,
including the great tribulation mentioned in
verse 22, can qualify as being among those in
"this generation."

Paulk, the two witnesses perform miracles that affect
the whole world. Read all of this chapter. We are at that
time in the days.
The Apostle John could both read and write. If he had
meant that only the inhabitants of Jerusalem were able
to see the dead bodies he could have simply stated this.
But, this not what he said. However, if had wished to say
that inhabitants from all nations and tongues viewed the
bodies, he succeeded.
The closest large city to me is Nashville. If something
happened there and a large part of city's population
saw it which would they say:
A large part of Nashville's population witnessed...
Or,
People from all nations; tribes; ethnic groups; and,
languages witnessed...
The second way even sounds stupid, doesn't it?

Nashville has a metro of roughly 2,000,000 inhabitants.
It has a much higher population than did Jerusalem 2000
years ago.
Also, Nashville is a major city, with residents and visitors
coming from many parts of the world.
It is a world recognized city.

I'm saying that the prophecies Jesus stated have not come
to fruition yet. Once these specific events set in motion they
will not carry on indefinitely.
Many who are alive at the beginning of the sorrows will be
alive at the end. Jesus is telling the generation that witnesses
these events to take heed.
The generation that He was speaking to witnessed the
events that He foretold.
I can cite you many more end-time prophecies that states
the same things Jesus said.
If you want to see some let me know.
However, if you wish to cling to your fairy tale that a frog
turned into a man (prince) over eons of time then have
at it.

Okay Paulk,, who were the two witnesses? For them to
draw that much attention they much have been really
important.

Paulk, are you okay? You stated in an earlier post that
the Bible says the final battle was Actium, which set up
the Diadochi kingdoms.
Later you stated that the two witness were killed 2000
years ago. Furthermore, you stated that the phrase about
all people, kindred, tongues, and nations referred to
Only the inhabitants of Jerusalem, where they were
killed.
Since these two witnesses of God were so despised,
you must know who they are.
It's a simple question, who were they.
Moreover, you now state that this event has not happened
yet, as I've already stated. It is an end-time prophecy.

Dwise 1, I asked you some questions. I always like to know
what type of man that I'm dealing with.
The God that I worship is Jesus and His Father.

Ringo, Ringo, Ringo. The Gospel of Matthew was
written roughly 50 years after the death of Christ.
At that time the event had not happened. Others,
alive at the time would have stoned him for being
an idiot, if they had thought that he was referring
to an event that had already happened.
He knew exactly what Jesus was referring to. It
was an end-time event.
