If [Mtt 24:4-34] Is Admitted To Be A.D. 70 Then ALL Prophecy Is Fulfilled!
by Joel Sexton
1) [Mtt 24:31] gathering of the elect from the four corners of the earth is a direct allusion to [Isa 11:10-12; 27:13; 43:5-7; 49:5-6 cf. Jer 30]. In Isaiah, this second exodus gathering of the tribes of Jacob is to the Land / Zion / Kingdom. In the context of these passages, we have all of the major covenantal promises being fulfilled at the same time. Zion restored. The Davidic kingdom fully restored, the resurrection etc.
2) If only ONE promise from the prophets is fulfilled then by necessity ALL of the promises (including resurrection) have been fulfilled. The Davidic and New Covenant's are extensions of the Abrahamic Covenant. One cannot have Israel and the nations gathered into Zion and the land without resurrection etc.
3) The Matthean version of the Olivet [Mtt 24-25] is the N.T. source for eschatology. Paul in [1 Cor 15] draws heavily from the Olivet. In [1-2 Thess] we see Paul making a progressive argument drawing HEAVILY from [Mtt 24-25]. This cannot be refuted.
4) John In Revelation from the beginning of the judgments under the seals draws heavily from the signs of [Mtt 24] which is recapitulated again and again throughout the book. All scholars agree on this point with the exception of the Premillennialist, who takes Revelation sequentially.
5) Even in [1Jn 2-4] I have noticed recently is drawing from [Mtt 24]
