Nancy I regret that you passed up the opportunity to give us all a testimony and at least help us to understand how a Messianic Jew worships and believes. You have mentioned in the past that there is a distinction between the name Messianic and Christian and you do not feel comfortable with identifying yourself as a Christian.
"Sorry but I have never seen a post I disagree with more than this one.
We can just go by the words of Jesus to disprove preterism.
Matthew 24 The Lord talking about the end of the age and his second coming.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Was the gospel preached in the whole world and all nations in 70AD? Nancy
Nancy, the Gospel was preached to the known world before the era of the Jews was over in 78AD. I'm going to find the passage that says it was later. Realize this; The KNOWN WORLD at that time period was only comprised of the Middle East countries. I am including all Nations such as Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persian, Greek, and Roman empires.
Now its pretty obvious that today, as the world increases to 6 billion or so humans on the planet, less and less people are going to know about the Gospel of Christ. We are far outnumbered today by Muslims, Buddists and others.
I will get back to you about the world at that time hearing the Gospel of Christ.
I felt a door shut when I read your post. But it wasn't exactly a door, was it? It was your mind shutting to all concepts of Theology because fear and close mindedness told you not to go there.
Now, I ask you to please read these 3 Bible verses and explain them. There are hundreds of instances all the way through Revelation that I could show you but it would be a waste if you are not willing to open the mind to discover things that your Mom and Dad, alan and your Messianic preacher NEVER told you.
These are three declarations of our Lord respecting the time of His coming, all verses having a firm "Verily I say!" That means the Lord is saying this is important! Listen up!
"Verily I say unto you, Ye shall have not gone overthe cities of Israel, til the Son of man be come." Matthew5:28
"1"Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall NOT TASTE of DEATH, til they see the Son of manbe come."Matt:
"Verily I say unto you, This GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS, till all these things be fulfilled."Matt:
These are a few of the many important truths in God's Holy word that many of the leaders of the Church are afraid to preach because of Creeds of the church. They will suffer much loss, I will promise you that.
Whatever is keeping you from finding out the truth of the Word should be cast off like dirty clothing.
Pray about it.
