Frankly, evidence and Scriptural proof will not sway those who choose not to examine the facts.
Having said that, for them to postulate that 70AD fulfills every prophecy Jesus made, and Joel and Isaiah and Zechariah and the rest of the OT prophets and Revelation is utterly absurd no matter what your position.

And YES, Luke 21:12-24 DEFINITELY speaks to the 70AD destruction in a way that the other parallel accounts do not. But the rest is looking far into the future, fulfilling the words of the aforementioned prophets.
I know, but this will save me time the next time they or anyone else raises this doctrine.
 

Were the prophecies in Matthew 24 already fulfilled?

I wrote this Pdf yesterday, it goes through the chapter verse by verse and asked this question. It is abundantly obvious when you go verse by verse that this doctrine collapses.

Anyone can download it.
I had a quick read. It relies a lot on opinion. For example, the claims of Christians being martyred for the past 2000 years. We don't know all of history. The reason you have to put up this defense for your belief is because your belief goes against what Jesus plainly said, and you even acknowledge the parallel passage in Luke clearly is referring to 70AD. You try to read two prophecies into the 3 gospels - I simply see the gospels as describing the same prophecy in different ways.

The eponymous "type" and saga of Joseph and his brothers is not Darbyism.
But it is intentional but as of yet unfulfilled Bible prophecy.
Despite the woefully and willfully ignorant denials.

*********************************************************

Joseph as a Prophetic Type of Christ and Israel’s Future Recognition
1. Beloved son of the father

Joseph was uniquely loved by Jacob.

Typology:
Jesus is the beloved Son of God.

2. Sent by the father to his brothers

Jacob sent Joseph to check on his brothers (Gen 37).

Typology:
The Father sent Christ to Israel.

Reference:
Gospel of John 20:21.

3. Rejected and hated by his brothers

Joseph’s brothers envied and hated him.

Typology:
Jesus was rejected by His own people.

Reference:
John 1:11.

4. Conspired against and betrayed

Joseph’s brothers plotted to kill him and sold him for silver.

Typology:
Jesus was betrayed for silver by Judas Iscariot.

Reference:
Gospel of Matthew 26:15.

5. Cast into the pit (symbol of death)

Joseph was thrown into a pit and left as if dead.

Typology:
Christ descended into death and the grave.

6. Suffering before exaltation

Joseph went from slavery to prison.

Typology:
Christ suffered humiliation before glory.

Reference:
Epistle to the Philippians 2:8–9.

7. Raised from humiliation to kingship

Joseph was suddenly elevated to rule Egypt under Pharaoh.

Typology:
Christ was resurrected and exalted to authority.

Reference:
Philippians 2:9–11.

8. Given authority over the world’s provision

Joseph controlled the grain supply during famine.

Typology:
Christ becomes the giver of life.

Reference:
Gospel of John 6.

9. Receives a Gentile bride during rejection by his brothers

Joseph married Asenath.

Typology:
Christ gathers a largely Gentile church during Israel’s unbelief.

Reference:
Epistle to the Romans 11.

10. His brothers come to him in a time of global crisis

Famine forced Joseph’s brothers to seek help.

Typology:
Future tribulation drives Israel to seek the Messiah.

Reference:
Book of Zechariah 12–14.

11. They do not recognize him the first time

Joseph’s brothers fail to recognize him and cannot understand his speech.

Typology:
Israel does not recognize Jesus in the present age.

12. Joseph knows them but they do not know him

Joseph recognizes his brothers immediately.

Typology:
Christ knows Israel even while unrecognized.

13. A second encounter leads to revelation

Joseph reveals himself during a later meeting.

Typology:
Christ reveals Himself to Israel at His return.

Reference:
Zechariah 12:10.

14. His brothers mourn and are shocked

Joseph’s brothers are troubled and afraid.

Typology:
Israel mourns upon recognizing the pierced Messiah.

15. Complete reconciliation

Joseph forgives and restores his brothers.

Typology:
Israel is reconciled to the Messiah.

Reference:
Romans 11:26.

16. Salvation for the whole family and nations

Joseph saves both his family and surrounding nations from famine.

Typology:
Christ brings salvation to Israel and the world.

One-sentence summary

Joseph—beloved son, rejected by his brothers, cast into a pit, raised to kingship among Gentiles, unrecognized at first but later revealed and reconciled to those who rejected him—forms a powerful biblical type of Christ and the future recognition of the Messiah by Israel.


Let s just put the final nail in the coffin of dispensationalism shall we.

Genesis 15:18, 17:7-8, 26:4

The promise of the Land was not given to a nation but to Abraham’s seed, not to an ethnic group.

There were many seed (singular plural term, offspring) of Abraham.

The covenant nation of Israel which is different/not synonymous with the seed of Abraham.
Their residing in the land, was contingent on their keeping covenant faithfulness. Leviticus made that clear.

One of many that affirms the perpetual promise to Abraham which is different than the promise to Covenant Israel.

Galatians 3:7-9
Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

The scripture foretold in advance that God would justify the Gentiles by faith and proclaim the gospel ahead of time to Abraham, saying, "All the nations will be blessed through you."
The promise God made to Abraham would happen no matter what.
But that is different than the law that God gave 430 years later to covenant Israel as a people that they would remain in the land as long as they're faithful to the covenant.

There is no argument against this unless one denies the words of Christ Jesus and Paul.
 
I think at least one of the recent videos of him are AI (sporting a 6-fingered hand), hence the question. This said, we're probably not going to get a conclusive answer for some time yet. And the censorship in Israel would make me distrust any official footage.

OK, I'm confused. In one post someone said that Trump is fighting this war so that he could get Epstein files off the front page. If that was the goal he already has a win.

In another post we hear that the true motive is to give profit to the military industrial complex. If that is the goal, he has already won.

Others say that the goal is to test out AI in combat. If that is the goal he has already won.

Trump says the goal is to keep Iran from getting a nuclear bomb. Do you have knowledge that Iran has the bomb and so Trump can't win in that case?

Then of course there are others like myself who say this is prophetic fulfillment, and in those prophecies Trump is not the winner. So are you agreeing with me? :eek:


Four, count em, four, presidents said " we cannot allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon". Trump did something about it. Americans have never understood Islam, they still don't. Islam isn't a religion, it's a political machine that turns into a regime. It's like Charlie Brown and Lucky, every single time she pulls the okey -doke and every single time he falls for it. It's time America stops falling for the okey-doke with Islam. Trump gets it. Everybody else is still trying to catch up.

That hodgepodge of disconnected bafflegab does nothing to defy the tremendously voluminous fully featured detailed prophecies regarding the "end times" reconstitution (happening now) and redemption (soon to come to pass) of the Nation Israel.

Oh and BTW, the saga of Joseph (a clear compelling UNDENIABLE type of Christ), was entered onto the record by Yeshua for the express purpose for foretelling exactly this! The final reconciling of Christ to His brothers the nation Israel.

All of this prophesied by God thru Moses waaaaaayyyyy back in Deut 30!

[Deu 30:1-6 KJV]
1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call [them] to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,

2 And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;

3 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.

4 If [any] of thine be driven out unto the outmost [parts] of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:

5 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

aka entering into the New Covenant in national repentance, mirroring the prophetic saga of Joseph.

Happened 2000 years ago. It continues today for all who believe.
 
Clouding people's minds, and corrupting people's hearts (in many cases).

These new reactions are not always very fitting, the strongest Love reaction did not seem fitting with the big grin.
Tragic to deny what is written by Paul over and over again.

Yes agree 100%!

Fully agree on the new reactions! Also on your point. Denying the words of Paul and Jesus, whilst trying to reinterpret them to their own liking. Tragic.
 
It's been proven beyond shadow of a doubt that Trump is covering for an international ring of pedophiles throughout the US (and international) government, and you want to believe the lie that Netanyahu has been trying to spread for decades that Iran is two weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon to achieve global domination? If Iran is (finally) only weeks away from creating a nuclear weapon now, it is only because it was forced by the recent unprovoked and illegal attacks by the US and Israel, and because the Iranian leadership who were actually opposed to Iran having nuclear weapons were killed by the same in these attacks (in the middle of a truce wherein Iran was agreeing not to develop nuclear weapons). You shouldn't apply terms like "clueless" and "useful idiot" to others while you still haven't grasped these basic concepts. It makes you seem like a hypocrite.

The US and Israel attack on Iran make the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour look saintly.

Well that's what I'm trying to determine. I asked for evidence the carriers were headed to port, not for your abuse. Fox News is not a source for objective reality
My guess it's a high likelihood at least one carrier was hit (or encountered a near miss), and had to retreat. The fire is awfully suspicious. The US govt. is still claiming that a refueling plane just fell out of the sky due to mechanical issues, even though the other one took evasive action after detecting a SAM activation. The pattern of the US is deny, deny, deny until the bodies come home or the families demand to know the status of their loved ones. They started this illegal war for pedos, and they've gotta keep it as popular as possible so honest soldiers don't all drop out the military, and the few civvies who are prepared to be drafted don't realise they're going to go to war for the benefit of pedophiles.

I doubt we're going to know where the carriers are headed or how badly damaged (or not!) until or after they arrive. (Unless we learn it from Iranian or Russian news! Lol! )
