LEARNING ACTIVITY #69A
The Importance of Understanding the Historical Events of
AD 70
Part Two
This Learning Activity is a continuation of the previous Learning Activity #69.
21.
Every generation sees signs that it is the last generation. Christianity has been
turned into a last day religion, a religion of good and bad news. The good news is
that Christ came to bring salvation to the world, the bad news is that He will shortly
return to destroy the world!
22. A fulfilled hope is not a destroyed hope!
23.
Some say that if Bible eschatology is fulfilled, what is left for us to now live?
I am convinced that God did not intend for the New Covenant church to walk around
with a view that the balance of history is anticlimactic. God's intent is for us
to continue in an ever deepening relationship with and in Him while walking in His
presence and witnessing His sovereignty in ALL THINGS!
24. One Christian we
know who has come into a fulfilled eschatological understanding of the Scriptures
has testified that for the first time in her life she understands the Scriptures
AND is able to explain the Scriptures to others! Suddenly the Bible is making sense!
25.
"For it was by God's own hand that the ancient system of worship was abolished
and obliterated; and the obliteration thereof was for reasons so closely connected
with the redeeming work of the Lord Jesus Christ, that to reestablish it again [as
so many in the church today believe] would be to do dishonor to the work and its
results." Philip Mauro, The Hope of Israel: What Is It? pp.114–116.
26.
Believers will never comprehend the truths of the New Covenant unless they understand
the significance of the AD 70 happenings.
27. "...we live within the
gates of the New Jerusalem, that spiritual kingdom, that spiritual city that is so
much greater than the earthly kingdoms of old and of the earthly city [Jerusalem]
long since destroyed. We live in God's very presence and glorify Christ the victorious
king forever and ever. If that is nothingness, if that is abolitionism then I feel
sorry for those who don't see the glory of being in the presence of the Lord"

28. Paul and all of the
other apostles preached a gospel that placed the second coming [parousia, presence],
the resurrection and the judgment in the first century. Those who preach a different
gospel that places these events thousands of years later make the apostles false
prophets!
