Advancing The Kingdom

 We are told to believe that these are future events. But about 8 years ago the words, "this generation will not pass until all these things be fulfilled " struck me as the generation that he was speaking to at the time. I was raised Pentecostal and always heard the sermon that Peter gave on the day of Pentecost, "In the last days " ...there would be signs in the heaven above and earth beneath, blood, fire and vapor of smoke... So eventually I did research into the first century documented history and collected 20 pages of supernatural phenomenon that occurred in the first century A.D and did a six part series on my TV show on the first century Roman empire. The Great Tribulation occurred in the first century A.D. It was judgement on apostate Israel. The Great Tribulation was the grand finale of the old covenant. Under the Law if your wife committed adultery you would stone her and if the daughter of a priest played the harlot you would burn her with fire. No other

 It is common knowledge that Jerusalem and the Temple was destroyed in 70AD.  But few study history to see what other prophecies were fulfilled at that time. Jesus stood in the Temple rebuking the Pharisees and said that all the blood shed from righteous Abel to Zechariah was coming upon that generation. As He was leaving He said that there wouldn't be one stone left on top of another. He went up to the Mount of Olives and his disciples asked him when will these things be. He told them that when they saw the abomination of desolation standing in the Holy Place, those in Judea were to go to the mountains and when they saw the city encompasses with armies they were to leave Jerusalem.  Roman soldiers worshipped the image on the top of their flagpoles. When the Roman governor of Syria sent a legion to suppress uprisings in Judea it backfired because they marched into the Holy Place with their abomination. This outraged the Jews and triggered the Great Revolt (66-70AD). When Vespasian

  2 Peter 2:1-22 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; ... Consider the time frame when Peter was speaking. The Law was given on Mount Sinai around 1400BC. Moses was instructed to make a tabernacle to use as a portable tent that could be used as a Temple. P
