Amen!The "critical" thing being that 'Jerusalem compassed with armies' is the "sign" that the Jew-Christians 'saw' - that they immediately understood was the prophetic moment that they needed to "get out of Dodge NOW"...

It's funny because everyone knows that Matthew, Mark, and Luke basically mirror one another. But when it comes to your [Made Up Doctrine] suddenly they're not talking about the same Event. Surely you can't be serious here? No one in their right mind can believe this speaks of 2 separate Events!Well, Matthew 24:4 and following (through chpt 25) is not about the events surrounding 70ad.
Luke 21:12-24a is about the events surrounding 70ad (and note that v.12 says "BUT BEFORE ALL THESE [*before all these* beginning of birth pangs just mentioned in vv.8-11]"... BEFORE ALL THOSE, the 70ad events of vv.12-24a must happen PRIOR TO those).
Matthew 24:4-8 then PICKS UP THE SCENE at [/speaking OF] the "beginning of birth pangs"... and then the passage describes what unfolds from there (with v.15[21] FOLLOWING the beginning of birth pangs... therefore is NOT describing the 70ad events, which [sequentially] PRECEDE THEM, see).
So... Matthew 24:15[21] is NOT describing the same events that Lk21:23,20-21 does... because of these SEQUENCE issues in the Olivet Discourse. They are TWO DISTINCT "SEE-then-FLEE" events (occurring at wholly differing time-slots!) Many people overlook this fact.
Nope, because Matthew-Mark-Luke all mirror one another and all speak of the same Events. Only a person who is prideful will stand on the basis that We have Christ in ALL 3 Books around the same time frame in ALL 3 Books speaking about the SAME EVENT in all 3 Books and turn it into different Events.TDW has built an eschatology on the idea that Luke 21 is a first century prophecy, and that Matthew 24 is an end of days prophecy.
Does this make any sense?

Look man, the first time I encountered this scam (many years ago), I instantaneously swallowed it hook, line and sinker. Instantaneously. It was false teaching and obviously incorrect - indisputably so.
If you read how Rome designed their Military, it was into multiple separate Armies. It's amazing how accurate Daniel is here and Rome does not even exist yet when Daniel makes this prophecy.Armies plural. Not army (Roman)
a study of OT prophecy shows there will be a time when armies surround the city, and it is God who destroys those armies in the end

To be abundantly clear, what I've stated is that only PARTS of Luke 21 are about the events surrounding 70ad (vv.12-24a, with 24b following on from there [the "UNTIL" part is not CONCLUDED until the END of the future Trib yrs, "Jerusalem... TRODDEN DOWN OF"... also per Rev11:2]);
...whereas ALL of Matt24:4 and onward (thru both chpts) is the far-future Trib years (7 yrs / "ONE WEEK"), because "the beginning of birth PANGS [Matt24:4-8 / Mk13:5-8 / Lk21:8-11] are EQUIVALENT to the "SEALS" of Rev6 IN/WITHIN what Rev1:1 / 1:19c / 4:1 calls the 'IN QUICKNESS [NOUN]" time period [parallel Lk18:8 (2Th1:7-9) and Rom16:20 (1Cor6:3[14])]--NOT that which unfolds over the course of some near-2000 yrs... and not speaking of "the things WHICH ARE" which BY CONTRAST are things NOT said of them are "things which must come to pass IN QUICKNESS [NOUN]" as these are (starting with the 4:1 "SHOW" and INCLUDING the FIRST SEAL, aka the INITIAL "birth PANG [SINGULAR]" that Paul says is the ARRIVAL OF "the day of the Lord" time-period, that COMES UPON a woman... per 1Th5:2-3 [/2Th2:3-9a]... aka the "IN THE NIGHT" ["DARK / DARKNESS"] time period that IS the 7-yr TRIB / "FOR ONE WEEK"--that WE/the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY will NOT be present ON THE EARTH for)...
That is, ALL of Matt24:4 and onward is far-future and describes what FOLLOWS "our Rapture" event
And vice versa.....Matthew24:2 “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”..........“when will this happen...?"
It's hard to understand why or how an intelligent person would try and twist this into what you have TDW.
How can Luke 21:25 mean "here is where we are now"? That would be really stretching it. Luke 21 and Mark 13 must be coordinated with Matthew 24, and what we read in verse 25 here is events AFTER the Great Tribulation (Mt 24:29).Here is where we are now:
Totally agree.To be abundantly clear, what I've stated is that only PARTS of Luke 21 are about the events surrounding 70ad (vv.12-24a, with 24b following on from there [the "UNTIL" part is not CONCLUDED until the END of the future Trib yrs, "Jerusalem... TRODDEN DOWN OF"... also per Rev11:2]);

Totally agree.
70AD "Jerusalem surrounded by armies" [ see and flee ] "until the times of the gentiles be fulfilled"
The Church age gap "until the fulness of the gentiles be come in"
"When ye shall therefore see" the A of D [ see and flee ] until the glorious Second Coming
I've already stated in past posts with you, that v.2 is speaking of the events surrounding 70ad, JUST AS Matt22:7 is; and JUST AS Lk19:41-44 is (Jesus SAID on the very day that the "69 Wks [total]" were CONCLUDED; and DID the Zech9:9 thing); and JUST AS Lk21:6 and Mk13:2 is; and JUST AS Lk21:12-24a is... etc...
First off, I'd like to know if you see Luke 21:8-11 as being identical events as that of Matt24:4-8 and Mk13:5-8, even though Lk21:8-11 does not LABEL them as "the beginning of birth pangs"... and then whether or not you see v.12 as saying "BUT BEFORE ALL THESE" as referring to what was just described in vv.8-11 (namely the beginning of birth pangs in those verses), and that what v.12 refers to as coming "BUT BEFORE ALL THESE [beginning of birth pangs]" is what is found in vv.12-24a (i.e. these verses describing the events surrounding 70ad, which must come "BEFORE ALL THESE" vv.8-11 things).
Do you see this much?
