The New Testament writers indicated that they realized they were living "in the end of the world" [age] (Matthew 24:3; Hebrews 9:26; 1 Corinthians 10:11). The Greek word for "world" in these three verses is "aion" which means "an age, indefinite time, or dispensation" rather than the Greek word "kosmos" meaning "land or world." It is important to know that "apocalyptic language" cannot be understood literally such as Jesus promised to come "on the clouds with power and great glory". This chart lists the apocalyptic symbols which were used in the Old Testament, along with their fulfillment compared with similar imagery and symbols used in the New Testament - and likewise their total spiritual fulfillment at the "end of the age" (AD 70) which occurred with the events of the destruction of Jerusalem; as John was commissioned by God to write the Book of Revelation sometime before the Great Earthquake which occurred approximately AD 61. Along with Jesus stating: "I will come again" (John 14:3); He also told the disciples "when" He would come back: "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 16:28). How could Jesus have made this statement if His return would have been many centuries past that present generation? Apparently some of these disciples Jesus was talking to would be alive when He "came back" as the "Blessed Hope" being fulfilled as The Parousia (Deity Presence or Second Coming) to take them to the Heavenly Home with Him! Also read John 14:28, 29; Revelation 22:12.
Christ also told His disciples that the "gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come" (Matthew 24:14). This prophecy was fulfilled in the Apostle Paul's lifetime as he states: "For the hope [Blessed Hope] which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; which is come unto you, as it is in all the world [Greek: "aion" meaning age]; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth." Colossians 1:5, 6. "If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope [Blessed Hope] of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister." Colossians 1:23. Hope [as the Blessed Hope] in this verse also is past, for all present at that time which the gospel had been preached or ministered to, as [it] was Christ's Second Coming to them which made them blessed (happy or joyous), because "hope deferred maketh the heart sick" (Proverbs 13:12). We, today, no longer need "that hope", for the "rescuing Blessed Hope" is now past; and since AD 70 believers NOW sit with Christ in Heavenly Places (Ephesians 2:6) partaking of His Riches in Glory [Victory]. By having all things Spiritual In Common with Him, we need not hope for Christ to acomplish anything for us again; for hope, as [it] is in Him, has already been filled to the brim! See Ephesians 2:4-7. All (everyone) salvationed within Christ through the Holy Spirit by the Father's love from that historic-time are since and now living onto the "Un-Excelled Completed Hope" to be adjoined to the Triune and foregone-saved in the Heavenly Third Jerusalem - the Third Heaven - to be forever and ever with the Lord of Heaven and Earth.
"For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars; see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows....And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many." Matthew 24:5-8, 11. Historians record numerous false Christs: AD 35 - Dositheus the Samaritan and his disciple, Simon Magus; AD 38 - another Samaritan arose, then Theudas. Under Felix, deceivers rose up daily. In AD 55 Egyptian Felix arose and had 30,000 followers; and in AD 60 another imposter arose under Porcius Festus seducing the people and promising them deliverance from Rome if they would follow him into the wilderness! At the time Jesus made this prophecy, the "pax romana" (peace of Rome) was in effect, in which the then known world was apparently at peace. Therefore, when the Jewish wars and revolts broke out, it drew the attention of the people, especially Christ's followers, as they recognized the sign Jesus had given them was being fulfilled. Josephus, the famous historian, documents a great famine occurring during the besiege of Jerusalem. Historians also record many earthquakes, and seven major ones, which occurred in rapid succession during the period before Jerusalem's destruction. As a natural result of the earthquakes, sickness was rampant as a result of unsanitary conditions.
The Un-Excelled Completed Hope is the Confident-Expectation of Good-Favor fitted for the Kingdom of Heaven for the Blissful Re-Union of the Home-Coming In the New Body-Of-Light And "Its Privileged Ascension In Its Final Glorification" Throughout All Eternity!
"Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." Matthew 24:29, 30. In Old Testament times, the "Day Of The Lord," and "signs in the heavens" meant God's judgment against nations. Following the same spiritual meanings found in the Old Testament, we understand clearly that Christ was referring to the judgments upon nations which, according to history, occurred when the Temple and Jerusalem was completely destroyed in AD 70. Also read Isaiah 13:9, 10; 24:23; Ezekiel 32:7, 8; Joel 2:10, 11; 3:15; Amos 5:20; 8:9.
Note the following accounts of two ancient historic writers regarding the events that took place leading up to fulfillment of all prophecies in AD 70.
Now, there was then a great number of false prophets suborned by the tyrants to impose upon the people, who denounced this to them, that they should wait for deliverance from God and this was in order to keep them from deserting, and that they might be buoyed up above fear and care by such hopes....Thus were the miserable people persuaded by these deceivers, and such as belied God himself; while they did not attend, nor give credit, to the signs that were so evident and did so plainly foretell their future desolation; but, like men infatuated, without either eyes to see, or minds to consider, did not regard the denunciations that God made to them.... thus there was a star resembling a sword, which stood over the city, and a comet, that continued a whole year....Thus also, before the Jews' rebellion, and before those commotions which preceded the war, when the people were come in great crowds to the feast of unleavened bread, on the eighth day of the month Xanthicus [Nisan], and at the ninth hour of the night, so great a light shone round the altar and the holy house, that it appeared to be bright day time; which light lasted for half an hour....this light seemed to be a good sign to the unskillful, but was so interpreted by the sacred scribes, as to portend those events that followed immediately upon it .... So these publicly declared, that this signal foreshowed the desolation that was coming upon them. Besides these, a few days after that feast, on the twenty-first day of the month Artemisius [Jayar]....A certain prodigious and incredible phenomenon appeared; I suppose the account of it would seem to be a fable, were it not related by those that saw it, ... and were not the events that followed it of so considerable a nature as to deserve such signals; for, before sunsetting, chariots and troops of soldiers in their armor were seen ... running about among the clouds, and surrounding of cities. Moreover at that feast which we call Pentecost, as the priests were going by night into the inner [court] of the] temple, as their custom was, to perform their sacred ministrations, they said that, in the first place, they felt a quaking, and heard a great noise, ... and after that they heard a sound as of a great multitude, saying, "Let us remove hence." - Quoted from Josephus Wars Book 6, Chapter 5, Sections 286-300.
Prodigies had occurred, which this nation, prone to superstititon, but hating all religious rites, did not deem it lawful to expiate by offering and sacrifice. There had been seen hosts joining battle in the skies, the fiery gleam of arms, the temple illuminated by a sudden radiance from the clouds. The doors of the inner shrine were suddenly thrown open, and a voice of more than mortal tone was heard to cry that the Gods were departing. At the same instant there was a mighty stir as of departure. - Quoted from Tactus, Histories, Book 5.
The resurrection from the dead and the "catching up" or "gathering"(1 Thessalonians 4:17; Matthew 24:31) of those who were alive occurred in AD 66 when Josephus and others referred to seeing angels, and hearing voices and trumpets.
Jesus' Sacrifice For Sin "At The End Of The World [Age]"
As far as the East is to the West; and beleaguered as far as covering sin with fig-leaves or customarily defending sin by some directly-formed-legalistic-deal-to-peal; accept Christ As The “Desire Of The Nations” and leave Adam’s sin-infested-garden and Old-Testament-Law that cannot say anything but “aw” to the letter which cannot save.
"For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: now yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; for then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world [Greek: "aion" meaning age] hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself." Hebrews 9:24-26. "But those things, which God before had showed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled" (Acts 3:18).
No credibility could possibly be given to any so-called prophet after the summation and conclusiveness of John's Revelations describing Christ's victorious defeat of sin's effects and all the works of Christ fulfilling grace to the complete extent to make every believer a saint and partaker of His Glory of honorable winsomeness. All in the above verse pronounces whole extent or quantity of all the prophecies being subjected for Christ to have completedly finished or accomplished!
Knowing this is light indeed and no one needs to fear of any so-called "prophet" from John to this day, or futuristically - for all that matters prophetically was settled on earth while Jesus was here so His Word (Himself) could forever settle in Heaven (Psalm 119:89) as the "more sure word of prophecy" (2 Peter 1:19) as each obedient believer's Advocate forever!
The Kingdom Of God
"Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear." Hebrews 12:28. "The kingdom of God is within you." Luke 17:21. "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen." Philemon 1:25.

Modern Western Christianity has interpreted the prophecies in the books of Matthew and Revelation literally (instead of spiritually) and have applied them to future events yet to come. However, if these prophetic symbols are understood in a spiritual sense, we come to realize that All Biblical Prophecies were fulfilled at the End Of The Age - that "age" ending in AD 70, thus making the terms, "The Rapture," "Left Behind," "Seven-Year Tribulation," "The Millennial Reign," "Second Coming of Christ," "The Day of the Lord," and "The Great Judgment Day" of no significance to any future fulfillment as all the visions of Revelation including the "End of the World" have all been fulfilled and are past; and all the coercive mythological jargon and tangles evaporate and melodramatists find themselves asking: "Who by searching can find out God"?
This is the Preterists World View with nothing lacking, and sharing everything equally in the Kingdom of God. This knowledge of all spiritual things is available through Christ The Perfect Example (John 1:14-18; detailing our Salvation Through Grace (Ephesians 2:8, 9; Hebrews 9:26); the Eternal Spiritual Realm Of The Heavenlies (Ephesians 2:6); of All Prophecies Being Fulfilled of both Testaments by the time of Jerusalem's besiege with the events ending completely in AD 70.
Considering all the events up to AD 70, we can truly say that Christ fulfilled the entire prophecy of Isaiah 61:1-3: "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings [three and a half years of ministry] unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord [His death on the cross], and the day of vengeance [Roman/Jewish War AD 63-70] of our God; to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified."
In any age, inhabitants of earth are predestinated to love God, love self, and love others as being like one's self (God's Property). See Psalm 24:1.

For sincere-believers in Christ Jesus as their Saviour, the New Testament proves by not a shadow or a doubt that Christ imputes His-Righteousness into all His-Children - as "Trees Of Righteousness" and He maintains that righteousness by nourishing His-Children throughout their lifetime by His-Unconditional-Grace. No where in the New Testament is there a mark against His-Children for sin as the Sacrifice Of Christ has set them free from it once and forever. "And that ye put on the new man [woman], which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness" (Eph. 4:24).
For most Americans, the question is asked: "What about the United States in 'prophetic terminology' with all the wars, et cetera, taking place?" The answer, Bible students, is found very simply in the 'Eagle Symbol' upon this attached chart! May your spirit be at peace with the Almighty God! Amen!
If we always say what God never has said, we will always get what God never intended; and we will always be in want of that which He fore-extended as His Good Pleasure to give us as His Sons/Daughters as His Expected End in the Kingdom of Heaven because we dwell within and throughout His Abundant Bountiful Grace in the here of NOW in The Kingdom of God.
When the Western-Culture comes to understand the time of the Parousia and the Biblico-Theological Altruistic meaningfulness of the Effective Truisms of New Testament eschatological bearings, the reviving of the Spiritual Truth comes alive in the hearts and souls of them of they of those who and which "study to show themselves approved of God." 2 Timothy 2:15.
In times past, God spoke to the people through Old Testament prophets; then the disciples of the New Testament; and then came Jesus - The Christ!!! From this, we are left with the completed foundation NOW through the testations of the finished, furnished WORD for proof positive. And what an AMEN to the joy of God's intercedence on our behalf.
God is the only One-Unbroken-Complexity of all that exists, consists, persists, resists, and by and large misfits mankind; because of the acquisition of Adamic sins which may remain somewhat buried, hidden or blurred from each sin-sick-heart until each individual is redeemed, when God's confrontational goodness leads each to repent where and how each human, no matter what age or circumstance, has his/her turn to form or make an individual relationship as God's victorious salvation as in health and healing; deliverance and protection; avengement and reconciled-consolation.
It takes an iconoclastic-mind to abrogate what the "Western Culture" has promoted through man-made pseudo and quasi book-writings of, in, to, and about eschatology or last things of Biblical consternational understanding and/or datings.
At least half of all that troubles mankind of the Divine Actionizations [Workmanship] of God rests not upon factions such as half-hearted faith, devotion, worship, and other inflectional unidentifiables of exact infinites and their likes; but of seeking the understanding of the un-understandings of the un-understood; which true-science and archeology is now more than ever learning that the more true-science learns and archeology consist of what they discover, the more of the realization we are testated in finding more consistant detailed-maturity, but notwithstanding the testamonial-perfection of Christ - except for believing God's Origination of the Father's Will for all believers.
For example: Mankind is spending trillions of dollars to discover if there is life that humans can relate to in outer-space. It has been calculated by scientists that it would take 1,000 light years going at the speed of 186,000 miles-per-second to make it just through the Milky Way (which in all possibilities could become very murky at the same time) . . . and that's not even getting close to the Third-Heaven where the Third New Jerusalem - built by God Himself without hands - is the Final Home of the Free and The Brave of God's Redeeming Favor Through Christ! Amen! Hallelujah!
Jesus drew a line-in-the-sand and who can count all the grains-His-Finger-made-the-line-through?
"Canst thou by searching find out God?" Job 11:7.
"I AM THAT I AM." Exodus 3:14.
"It is He that sitteth upon the circle of the earth." Isaiah 40:22. What direction is above, and, how far is up??
Supreme Unction
Supreme Unction is extraversional, extraordinary, extramundane, and extrapolated as follows:
Jesus was neither a religionist nor a politicianist, for the same reason the Apostle Paul was not as he said : "I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified" (1 Cor. 2:2). Christ is the Lord and the Lord is God - which entitles Him as Ruler and Master over Heaven and Earth for "the earth is the Lord's, and fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein."
Early Witnesses To Jesus' Resurrection And Second Appearances Or Comings
"If Christ be not raised, your faith is vain [futile], ye are yet [still or stilled] in your sins." 1 Cor. 15:17. After Christ was raised from the dead, the Scriptures records that He appeared to the following as confirmation of His Resurrection.
| Peter | Luke 24:34; 1 Cor. 15:5 |
| Mary Of Magdala | John 2:10-18 |
| Two Disciples | Luke 24:13-31 |
| The Eleven Disciples (excluding Thomas) | John 20:19-24 |
| The Twelve Disciples (including Thomas) | John 20:25-29 |
| Seven Disciples At Sea Of Tiberias | John 21:1-23 |
| 500 Followers In Galilee | 1 Cor. 15:6 |
| James | 1 Cor. 15:7 |
| The "Many" At The Ascension | Acts 1:3-11 |
| Steven | Acts 7:55 |
|
Paul - Near Damascus And In Jerusalem |
1 Cor. 15:8; Acts 9:3-6; 23:11 |
| John On Island Of Patmos | Rev. 1:10-19 |
As Jesus' body was raised whole (except for the scars in His hands, feet, and side - which were the affects from the outside world - John 1:11); He effected the whole world as He said: "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men/women unto me." John 12:32. These pre-sents also represent that The Word [Bible] has been trampled upon with the affects of the outside world of unspiritual-lives of all history (his-story) - yet His Word remains effectually unbroken ... and unbreakable!

Also we "...let [allow] every man [woman] prove his [her] own work, and then shall he [she] have rejoicing in himself [herself] alone [not attempting to please everyone], and not in another [who teaches differently or in another style]" (Gal. 6:4). "Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall [without any lack] reveal even this unto you [directly]" (Phil. 3:15).
