Its common sense reasoning that you can not spiritualize all scripture, or take a literal approach to all scripture. The emphasis has to do with the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the interpretation of a word or phrase.
To understand true end-time prophecy requires a extensive knowledge of the 7 appointed times of the Lord (feast days). by which Christ has fulfilled 4 and three yet remain to be fulfilled. Also I advocate in really paying attention to Christ, as he taught his Apostles and disciples the signs recorded in the 24th chapter of Matthew.
The signs are very specific and if we understand them in sequence, then we would have a better grasp of what to expect in the future tense of what the scriptures really convey.
It is evident that the sun has not darken nor the moon withdrawed its light, for that sign must precede the coming of the Lord, also known as the day of the Lords wrath.
AS it was in the days of Noah, as it was in the days of Lot... Noah and his family were saved, but the wicked were swept away, the ark of safety lifted them up above the water, while the same water destroyed the wicked. Before God could rain fire on the cities of Sodom and Gommorah he sent two of his Angels to remove Lot and his family to safety. And so in the ressurection God will send his holy Angels to gather his elect ( Redeemed) from under the whole heaven. As it was in the days of!!!
I see a lot of words and no Scriptures.
In Matthew 24 there are two questions that are asked by Christ disciples.
Mat 24:1 Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple.
Mat 24:2 And Jesus said to them, "Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down."
Mat 24:3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "
Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"
Christ left the temple and then told his disciples that not one stone would be left upon another. He is speaking about the temple, the temple was located in Jerusalem. Go back to Matthew 23:36-39, Christ is speaking about Jerusalem. Anytime a Scripture is interpreted it must be interpreted in light of its context. A text out of context is pretext to error.
Anyway Christ is asked three question by his disciples in verse number 3.
1. He is asked when will these things be
2. What will be the sign of Your coming and the end of age.
The disciples want to know when the temple is going to be destroyed, and Christ lays it out for them in verse 4-35. This would be inclusive of the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70.
Mat 24:34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.
Christ even tells the disciples that all the things that he had just said would happen within their generation.
If it has not happened then there should be some real old folks walking around somewhere.
Christ then answers the 2nd question beginning in verse 36.
What will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age.
Verse 36, " "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only."
Christ then goes on to explain in verse 37 - 57 and following and uses Noah as an example. Christ even reiterates that no one knows the hour in verse 42, 44.
That is why the parables in Chapter 25 are important. They teach that one must always be prepared because we do not know the day or the hour of Christ return. There will be no signs, that is why it is said that Christ would return as a thief in the night. A theif does nto give any signs of coming.
1Th 5:2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.
2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
