It is the great and notable (epiphanes) Day Of The Lord Peter is talking about here.
Epiphanes means Revelation, so he is talking about the Revelation Of Jesus Christ.
Will Jerusalem be destroyed twice?
Well, yes I think so. I think when Jesus returns he will destroy the 3rd Temple with the brightness of his coming. (That is my personal view)

Many early Church fathers held to this view of a 7000 year plan that God had laid out.
I don't really have an opinion Boga. What do you believe?
There will never be animal sacrifices though. Never!
Ever...
Pan-millennialism, whatever pans out works for you? Sounds good to me as well. I have no formed opinion after reading all the book of Daniel with prayer and thought and earthly reign is very likely. I just do not see how you can fit animal sacrifices in there with Jesus earthly reign. Any dispies want to try explain that?
My friend God was speaking metaphorically Like grapes....as firstripe It was a comparison. Basically He was saying that it was refreshing, pleasant to see their fathers...He was not saying they were figs.
You are a KHV man. I like that. You must realize then that the English in the KJV is colloquial. old fashioned. That's where it helps to have other versions too. Look....My bible puts it this way.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Spotting a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. So he said to it, “May you never again bear fruit!” and immediately the fig tree dried up. [SUP]20 [/SUP]The talmidim saw this and were amazed. “How did the fig tree dry up so quickly?” they asked.
hey marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
“How did the fig tree dry up so quickly?” they asked.
See the verse is the same one but look at it in my version...See how much clearer it is?
Of course not. If anything, discussing things with people who hold different viewpoints only serves to make people more committed to what they already believe.
IMO, it is extremely rare for anyone to change their belief on anything based on discussions on an internet forum.
How do you know that it's metaphorical rather than symbolic? Is the lamb of God metaphorical or symbolic.

You know that I'm a word weaver....I know what a metaphor is....All metaphors use the words 'like' or 'as' The Holy Spirit on Pentecost....Was He a rushing mighty wind? Or did he come like a rushing mighty wind? A big wind would have caused an uproar, damage etc....When He came in, it sounded like a big wind....A metaphor.
