Second Peter chapter 2 is where the Apostle Peter describes the seriousness of the false teacher and false prophet sitation in the Jewish world in the AD 60s: "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not." (2 Peter 2:1-3)
Description: This ebook closely investigates Jesus' prophecy in Matthew 24 predicting coming disaster for the Second Temple of Jerusalem after a terrible defiling "abomination." It explores how many modern readers disconnect Jesus' urgent warnings from literal ancient events most early Christians witnessed or endured - the horrific Roman destruction of Jerusalem's sanctuary in 70 AD. By revisiting history and Scripture together, overlooked signals emerge exposing gaps in popular end times teachings still expecting a future "Third Temple" abomination and return of Christ. The investigation suggests prevailing interpretations strayed by forcing exotic meanings when anchor prophecies signaled impending judgement upon the Temple across the Kidron Valley from the Mount of Olives where Jesus aired the sobering analysis. Could Christ have uttered such uncanny descriptions of holy place desecration and encroaching armies for audiences not meant to witness tangible fulfillment? This book allows prophecy itself to dictate reasonable scope aligned with the inquiries first raising discussion. By reconsidering simplistic assumptions perpetuating contradiction with history, room opens for deeper unity of messy yet pivotal realities confirming Scripture’s reliability despite variant human theories.
