That makes more sense... However that makes me a bit confused on how our calendar dating system was established. I have been under the impression that Jesus' age sort of "set the pace" for our dating system. In other words when Jesus was 10 years old it was at that time 10A.D. or when Jesus was 23 y...

Jesus age

I've heard a couple of different things about how old Jesus was during His ministry. I havent heard any discrepencies about the duration of His ministry (about 3 1/2 years), just His aproximate age. I've heard some say He started His ministry around age 27 and went to the cross around age 30... Othe...

Defining Preaching

Hi, I think I'm a bit undefined in what preaching and teaching are exactly. It seems many times that preaching is looked at as someone givng an inspiring message to get someone else through the rest of the week. Is this what preaching was originally for? Are there some verses that describe this more...

As a side note: Isaiah and his son's were said to be for "signs and wonders" (Isa 8:18 ), yet we don't read of them performing any miracles. The meanings of their names were actually the signs and wonders which conveyed information, namely the heart and mind of God. This makes me think that signs an...

Book of Enoch

Hi all, A friend of mine had a question that I thought I'd seek out some help with. John, I was reading this website about aliens really being angels, yeah I know far out stuff. Anyway it mentions the Book of Enoch as a text of scripture that was never canonized. Have you heard of this text, and hav...

Hi Malachy, I'm not sure if your asking about Daniel or Israel, sounds more like Israel. If so, this might help... http://www.wvss.com/forumc/viewtopic.php?t=437 Concerning your study questions I would recommend reading Romans ch. 9-11, not just part of 11 because If I remember right 9-11 is believe...

Thanx mattrose,
Good point, I didnt even think about it that way. Also, if they did know about a second coming at that time, I still dont think that was what they where asking about.

Anyway - thanx again

Did the disciples know about a 2nd coming?

Hi Steve, If this is addressed elsewhere just point the way. I've been listening to your teaching on the Olivet Discourse. Concerning the first 3 verses of Matthew 24 (and its parallels in Mark 13 & Luke 21). I've heard you say that it's unlikely that the disciples even knew about the second coming ...
