Critical Times as Foretold

Again wotsup, this is unmistakably the same events as in the Olivet discourse. The grand "Second Coming" of the Messiah.

No, you have simply added, tired to make it grow ->
Matthew specifically detailed Jesus returning
spectacularly......

Misleading conduct.

Why did he add "verily I say" to emphasize
the event of the preceding
verse and say it would happen within their own generation.
Once again, you are adding.
Verily (truly) I say,....is in regards to the verse and subject he raised,...the wrap up verse and not the one before it.

As for seeing, whether you like it or Not, it also involves, part of, the Pentecost matter.
Many things were SEEN there.

This is clue 3.

"Clue 3

The meaning of the Bible has been examined, contested, argued and wondered about for thousands of years by the most devout and intelligent minds of both believers and doubters.

Do you really think it is wotsup ... in between building his wife's heavenly dream on Earth, and saddled with the usual lack of education for his time and circumstances, that has actually discovered "the truth" ?"

The first sentence is not in dispute it is simple uncontested fact.

The second sentence is the question I asked of you.

The first sentence, sets the stage for the next question, come insult.
And I pointed out, your first claim based on History and the Bible, is NOT worth a pinch of salt, it means absolute zero, meaningless and the reasons why, I Gave.
So that in effect and obviously your thinking, raises numerous questions and some of those would probably not be nice, so it might well to leave it alone.
It's not about No's and whose who etc and if you haven't picked that up in the Bible, then it's no point in going there.

Anyway, on this one, I think it might be a good time to let it go.
---------
Drive way -> For one, if you saw the house and despite it being on a rural property, I think you would agree a scruffy old limestone drive wouldn't be fitting or the part.
The original plan was hot mix, before the crashing or thief of the interest rates, our income and when thinking about it, I cannot justify the expence of the hotmix, as we could better utilize that elsewhere.
Plus, out the front of the 3 car garage there is about 7-8mts of exposed concrete, sealed etc, hence coming in on wet (winter) limestone, that would mess that up as well as bringing dirt, rubbish into the Garage, which also links to an entry come drop down zone and another into the scullery and walkin pantry, all with gloss tiles and light in colour.
And, sick of having to wash cars every other day, wife's is a black Rav.

Anyway, I manage to spread out at least 1/2 or more of a semi load.
I have been a bit creative by adding a 4mtr wide screed arrangement to my 3pl rear blade with 2 adjustable skids on either end to control the bitumen thickness being laid.
Made it so I can also set a camber for water run off.
Going to take a few trial runs to get the hang of this creation. lol.
You have to get creative, inventive, so you can do things solo.
You know the saying,......If it's to be, it's up to me. lol.
Obviously I will higher a vibrating roller at the appropriate timing.

Misleading ... you must be joking.
What could be more spectacular than this ... apart from your house ? Unless like MrG you think it will occur invisibly !!

"Matthew 16:27-28
27 For the Son of Man will come in His Father’s glory with His angels, and then He will repay each one according to what he has done.
28 Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”"

There is no adding from me wotsup, those 2 verses are seamlessly connected in the same breath. The second emphasizing the timeline of the first and further describing it as "the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."
You are blind not to see the obvious.

As already stated, the first sentence is a fact and is not meaningless at all. It is not a result of some Satanic influence or God making men believe a lie .. it is because of the way the Bible is written.

The second is not an insult but a question about the extent of your egoism in thinking you understand what is written but virtually no one else does.
You do not appreciate what is required to translate from one language to another especially from different cultures and epochs.

Best stick to spreading your asphalt rather than spreading your imaginative version of "God's word" !!
At least you don't go on and on about the end of the World and how great that will be.

Make sure to get that camber correct.
