Futurists Conditioned To Believe It WAS NOT/IS NOT On the 12 Tribes of Israel

Futurists CONTINUE to deny that Jesus' RETURN (His "Second Coming") WAS/IS ON THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL.

They have been conditioned, over the centuries, to deny Jesus' Words:

Matthew 19:28  And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

To the Deceivers:

2 John 1:9  Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10  If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11  For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

"What Is There To Look Forward To If ALL Has Been Fulfilled?"

Futurists continually ask this question.

If all has not been fulfilled, as futurists claim, then-

The resurrection of the dead hasn't taken place and ALL, from the time of Adam to this day, are still in the grave, waiting to be resurrected. 

ALL, including Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, ...John the Baptist, the Apostles,... even those "souls of them [who were under the altar] that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held... [who] cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?  And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled." (Revelation 6: 9-11) That "little season" has stretched out for close to 2,000 years and is STILL counting.  NOBODY is in heaven yet... THEY ARE ALL STILL WAITING. Futurists must admit that at the sound of the last trump "... the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." (1 Corinthians 15:52)

The "Mystery of God" hasn't been fulfilled.

There are many verses referring to the "Mystery of God". I like to call it God's Plan.  I believe the "Mystery of God", His Plan, was fulfilled in AD70 because the Bible says so:

Mark 4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:...

Ephesians 1:9  Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
10  That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
11  In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

Colossians 1:26  Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
27  To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:...

Colossians 2:2  That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;...

Romans 11:25  For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

Romans 16:25  Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,...

1 Corinthians 2:7  But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:...

1 Corinthians 15:51  Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,...

Ephesians 1:9  Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:...

Ephesians 3:3  How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4  Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)...

Ephesians 3:9  And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:...

Ephesians 6:19  And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,...

Colossians 1:26  Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
27  To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:...

Colossians 2:2  That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;...

Colossians 4:3  Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:...

Revelation 10:7  But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

Revelation 21:1  And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2  And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3  And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4  And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5  And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6  And he said unto me, It is done [the "Mystery of God" has been fulfilled]. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7  He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

The "Mystery of God" WAS REVEALED TO THE APOSTLES.  THEY WERE THE FIRST TO HEAR IT. THEY WERE THE ONES WHO WERE PREDESTINED TO HAVE IT REVEALED TO THEM.  THEY WERE THE ONES WHO WERE INTEGRAL IN ITS FULFILLMENT. NOT US.  WE ARE BLESSED BECAUSE ALL THE WORK TO BRING ABOUT THE COMPLETION OF THE "MYSTERY OF GOD" WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY JESUS CHRIST AND HIS APOSTLES.  WE HAVE IT EASY.  THEY WERE THE ONES WHO BROUGHT ABOUT THE FULFILLMENT.  WE HAVE NO INVOLVEMENT IN BRINGING ABOUT THE COMPLETION OF THE "MYSTERY OF GOD" BECAUSE THEY DID IT.  ALL WE CAN DO TODAY IS "OVERCOME THE WORLD" BY BELIEVING IN AND HAVING FAITH IN JESUS.  THAT
AND PROMOTE HIS KINGDOM, NEW JERUSALEM, TO OTHERS.

Jesus Christ's return (His "Second Coming") in judgment of the Twelve tribes of Israel hasn't taken place yet.

Matthew 19:28  And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Futurists have been conditioned, over the centuries, to refuse to acknowledge that Jesus' return (His "Second Coming") in judgment is/was of the Twelve Tribes of Israel.  They have been conditioned, over the centuries, to believe that the events of AD70, primarily the destruction of that temple in Jerusalem where "not one stone was left upon another", WERE NOT Jesus' return (His "Second Coming") in judgment of the Twelve Tribes of Israel.

Jesus' Apostles EQUATED the destruction of that temple in Jerusalem with His return (His "Second Coming") in judgment OF THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL.  Futurists have been conditioned, over the centuries, to believe otherwise.

Futurists have been conditioned, over the centuries, to believe the lie that Jesus' return (His "Second Coming") in judgment OF THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL WAS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN DURING THAT GENERATION'S LIFETIME:

Matthew 16:28  Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

Matthew 24:34  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

Revelation 1:1  The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:...

Revelation 1:3  Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

Revelation 1:7  Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Revelation 22:7  Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Revelation 22:10  And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

Revelation 22:12  And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Revelation 22:17  And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

Revelation 22:20  He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Futurists have been conditioned, over the centuries, to believe that:

some of those standing there in Matthew 16:28  WERE NOT STILL ALIVE WHEN JESUS RETURNED (His "Second Coming") in judgment OF THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL.

IT WAS NOT THAT GENERATION (of Matthew 24:34) THAT WOULD STILL BE IN EXISTENCE TO WITNESS JESUS' RETURN (His "Second Coming") in judgment OF THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL.

Revelation 1:1's  "must shortly come to pass" means not "must shortly come to pass" but means "1,000's of years into the future before it will come to pass".

Revelation 1:3's and 22:10's "for the time is at hand" and "at hand" means not "at hand" but means "1,000's of years into the future".

Revelation 1:7's   "they [the Roman soldiers] also which pierced him" will miracuously reappear 1,000's of years into the future when Jesus returns (His "Second Coming") in judgment OF THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL instead of them being at Jerusalem under the command of Roman General Titus when they besieged Jerusalem and her temple and wiped Israel off the map in AD70 when Jesus returned (His "Second Coming") in judgment OF THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL.

Revelation 22:7's, 12's, and 20's "I come quickly" does not mean "I come quickly" but means "I am coming not quickly (like it sounds) but 1,000's of years into the future (and surely not during this generation's lifetime like Matthew 16:28 and 24:34 state) to judge not the Twelve Tribes of Israel (like Matthew 19:28 states) but to judge the entire world and have it blown to smithereens.

The final enemy, death, has not been defeated.

The final enemy, death WAS defeated when, at the sounding of the last trumpet, the resurrection took place and the souls of those of the faith were released from the grave and met with Jesus in His Kingdom, New Jerusalem, when He returned (His "Second Coming") in judgment OF THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL.

Satan, the Beast from the sea (the "Antichrist") and the false prophet (the beast from the earth) are still or will be active in the future AND ARE NOT IN THE LAKE OF FIRE being tormented day and night forever and forever.

Instead, Satan is alive and well here on planet earth (which means that the "millenium", the "thousand years" of Revelation 20 has already passed BECAUSE Satan is gathering the nations to war against the camp of the saints (the Church) in Jerusalem).

Romans 16:20  And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

2 Thessalonians 2:7   For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

Revelation 20:7  And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8  And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9  And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
10  And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Revelation 20:11  And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12  And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13  And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14  And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

ALL these "things" mentioned in Revelation 20 ALREADY TOOK PLACE BECAUSE THE BIBLE AND JESUS AND HIS APOSTLES SAID SO:

Revelation 1:1  The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants
"things" which must shortly come to pass.

These examples are but a few of the many that we today must realize have ALREADY HAPPENED.

God's Kingdom of Heaven, New Jerusalem, HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED.

A true believer inherits God's Kingdom of Heaven, New Jerusalem. 

He/she will not experience "death" because instead of going to the grave awaiting to be resurrected, he/she will inherit New Jerusalem and go there directly when they pass from this life to life eternal.

Jesus did return (His "Second Coming") in judgment of the Twelve Tribes of Israel when He said He would- during that generation's lifetime.

Death was defeated when, at the sounding of the last trumpet, the resurrection of the dead took place.

Satan along with the beast, the false prophet, death and Hell (Hades) were cast into the lake of fire.

AND now- when a person of FAITH dies physically, he/she does not go to the grave (awaiting to be resurrected), but instead goes directly to God's Kingdom of Heaven, New Jerusalem. 

The "overcomers" of this world (those who believe in and have faith in Jesus Christ) INHERIT New Jerusalem [ref. Revelation 21].

ALL is complete.  "It is done".

Preterism, not Futurism, is TRUE Christianity.

The Antichrist

                         

Everybody is saying that the "Antichrist" is yet to come OR is here right now and is performing his duties.

Who is this "Antichrist" everybody is fascinated with?

I will assume that the "Antichrist" everybody is talking about is "the beast from the sea" from Revelation 13.

Revelation 13:1  And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

John certainly was not describing a literal "beast" who lived in the sea. Like a Loch Ness monster.

We all realize that it is a man who he is describing because of:

Revelation 13:18  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

So he is a man from the sea.

He did not literally live in the sea. He "rose up out of the sea."

What John is saying is that this man came from a foreign land from across the sea. He is a man from a foriegn country other than Judea.

Jesus prophecied the "Antichrist".

He referred to him as "the abomination of desolation" who literally stands in the Holy Place of the temple in Jerusalem:

Matthew 24:15  "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16  Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:..."

Paul prophecied the "Antichrist".

He referred to him as "the man of sin" and "the son of perdition" who literally "sitteth in the temple of God" (the temple in Jerusalem):

2 Thessalonians 2:1  "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2  That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5  Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6  And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7  For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8  And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9  Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12  That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

The "son of perdition" is mentioned in:

Revelation 17:8  The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

Revelation 17:11  And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
Revelation 17:12  And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
Revelation 17:13  These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
Revelation 17:16  And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
Revelation 17:17  For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

The "beast from the sea" and his "image" of Revelation 13 is the same beast of Revelation 11 and Revelation 17 and Matthew 24's "abomination of desolation" and 2 Thessalonians 2:1's "man of sin" and "son of perdition".

I believe the 'man of sin' mentioned here is synonymous with 'the abomination that causes desolation.'

In verse 4 Paul mentions that '...he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.'

The "image" of "the beast from the sea" is who "stands"and "sits" in the temple in Jerusalem.

The "beast from the earth (Israel/Judea)", who is also known as the "false prophet", makes the people of Jerusalem to construct an "image" of the "beast from the sea"- the "Antichrist".  This image comes to life and is able to speak.  It is the image of the beast from the sea who actually "stands" and "sits" in the temple.  The "beast from the sea", who had died from a fatal sword attack, comes back to life through the image that the people of Jerusalem constructed that was commissioned by the "beast from the earth":

Revelation 13:14  And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

15  And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

The "Antichrist" was Nero.

When written in Hebrew "Nero Caesar" adds up to 666.

Nero persecuted the Christians after he was convinced that it was the Christians who started the fire in Rome.

Historians are not sure how Nero died.

The Bible says that the "Antichrist" came back to life after a fatal sword wound.

It was the image of Nero that came to life that stood and sat in the temple in Jerusalem.

It was the image of Nero who had the "two witnesses" of Revelation 11 killed:

Revelation 11:7  And when they [the two witnesses] shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

8  And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9  And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10  And they that dwell upon the earth (Israel/Judea) shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth (Israel/Judea).
11  And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12  And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
13  And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

When Nero's image was allowed to stand in the Holy Place of the temple in Jerusalem, the 3 1/2 year tribulation period began.

Matthew 24:15  When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16  Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17  Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18  Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19  And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20  But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

The allowance of Nero's image to stand in the Holy Place of the temple in Jerusalem was a major contributing factor to the destruction of that temple in AD70.

Jesus' Apostles equated the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem with His return (His "Second Coming") in judgment of the Twelve Tribes of Israel.

Matthew 24:2  And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

3  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

Matthew 19:28  And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

There are many verses that state that Jesus' "Second Coming" occured during the 1st century- during THAT generation's lifetime.   His return in judgment of the Twelve Tribes of Israel happened in AD70 when that temple was destroyed.

Matthew 16:28  Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

Matthew 24:34  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

"...till all these things be fulfilled."

All these "things"- including the appearance of the "Antichrist", who was allowed to stand in the temple uttering blasphemies, AND the subsequent destruction of that temple, which was equated to Jesus' return in judgment of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, WERE fulfilled in AD70.

Preterism is true Christianity.
