Admin	What did Jesus mean in Mat 24:36? Posted : 14 Jan, 2010 10:45 AM Hi Everyone, One of the many incorrect teachings concerning Jesus' return is found in this passage. Many people forget to consider the GRAMMAR. Let's examine this. Mat 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. NKJV First we have to look at the time periods Jesus was referring to. Jesus said of that DAY and HOUR. Those are very specific time periods. They do not include week or month or year. So we cannot expand upon what Jesus said and include time periods HE Himself did not give us. But what is more critical is what Jesus said... "no one KNOWS". The word "knows" is a PRESENT TENSE word, NOT a FUTURE tense. Jesus did not say that no one would ever know, only that no one at the time He said this KNEW. One of the most important things we must do in studying scriptures is to pay careful attention to Grammar. if we miss the grammar we can misinterpret it very badly and end up believing or teaching something completely false. Additionally in scriptures we do have a prophesy in Daniel that tells us when Jesus will return based upon a particular prophesy coming to pass. When that occurs we have exactly 3.5 years, based upon a Hebrew calender of course. If jesus intended this to me a complete mystery then why in His infinite wisdom did He give us signs to WATCH for HIS Coming? Remember His coming as a thief is concerning His POST-Tribulational coming, not some any moment false Rapture before that. Blessings! Walter Post Reply

You also did not answer my questions. You responded but did not really answer my questions. Let me reiterate them. Does Paul state that we are to be watching for the day of the Lord in 1Thess5? Is that not the context? Does Paul state that the Resurrection and Rapture occurs on the Day of the Lord? Look carefully of what says in 1Thess5:1-2. What are the times and seasons that Paul is referring to if not the Resurrection and Rapture in 1Thess4:13-17? Look at 1Cor 15:50-54 Does not Paul clearly state that the Events we call the Resurrection and Rapture occur WHEN a specific prophesy COMES TO PAST...Death is swallowed up in Victory? Do you know WHEN that prophesy occurs? When you read Isaiah 25:8, what is the context of that passage? Is it not the beginning of the Millennial Kingdom? Since Paul says that the Resurrection and Rapture occurs at that time, does that not make it self evident that it is Post-Trib? Blessings! Walter Post Reply
