Here’s how you can know, using just the gospels, that Jesus has already returned. This is the most important post on this website.
The truth is so absolutely clear that any pastor or theologian, who says the second coming is yet future, should be rebuked as a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
You will also find that, among professing believers, those who still insist Jesus has not returned even after you show them the scriptures, are almost always unsaved inverts, children of the devil, who have the opposite skeleton to the gender they present as.
Jesus says “my sheep hear my voice” – if you don’t believe the words of Jesus about when he was returning, can you really say you are one of his sheep? I don’t believe so.
Additionally, we are not in Satan’s little season of Revelation chapter 20, and you will see my reasoning for this at the end.
Let’s start with Matthew 24. Jesus tells his disciples the whole end times sequence from the early persecution of the church, to the Great Tribulation, to the destruction of the temple/Jerusalem, to the “end of the world”, when Jesus comes in the clouds to judge the world.
Jesus makes absolutely clear that everything he just described in the Olivet discourse would happen within the same generation:
Matthew 24:34-35
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
The gospels leave absolutely no room for debate as to what Jesus means by “this generation”. He means the generation of people he was physically standing in front of and talking to at the time:
“O generation of vipers” (Matthew 12:34-37)
“An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign … The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation … The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation” (Matthew 12:39-42). Equivalent in Luke 11:29-32.
“Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation” (Matthew 12:43-45)
“A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.” (Matthew 16:4)
“Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.” (Matthew 17:17). Equivalent in Mark 9:19 and Luke 9:41.
“And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.” (Mark 8:11-12)
“Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” (Mark 8:38)
“That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation” (Luke 11:50)
“But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.” (Luke 17:25)
Jesus makes crystal clear that some of those standing in front of him would be alive to see him return:
Matthew 16:27-28
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
The addition of “come with power” in the below equivalent verse in Mark’s gospel makes it clear he’s talking about the second coming:
“And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.” (Mark 9:1)
Jesus said that the apostle John may still be alive for the second coming (John 21:18-24).
During his passion, Jesus tells the women weeping for him that they should weep for THEMSELVES and their children, and implies the Great Tribulation would be coming on them personally (Luke 23:28-31).
Jesus tells Caiaphas that he personally will see the second coming (Matthew 26:63-64, Mark 14:61-62).
Just before the Olivet discourse where he lays out the end times roadmap, Jesus delivers a blistering rebuke of the scribes and Pharisees in Matthew 23:1-36.
Jesus makes it clear that the particular generation he was talking to would face the full wrath warranted by the sins of their fathers (see also in Luke 11:47-51).
This is why Jesus says: “fill ye up then the measure of your fathers”; “upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth”; and “all these things shall come upon this generation”:
Matthew 23:29-36
29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
Jesus then foretells the destruction of the temple at Jerusalem (Matthew 23:37-39; Matthew 24:1-2).
Jesus also foreshadows the coming destruction of Jerusalem in his parables (Matthew 22:7, Mark 12:9, Luke 20:13-16).
There’s extra detail about what was coming for Jerusalem in Luke:
Luke 19:43-44
43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
At the start of Matthew 24, Jesus comes out of the temple and tells his disciples it will be destroyed. The disciples then ask him when will the temple be destroyed (“when will these things be”), and what will be the sign of the second coming, and of the “end of the world”.
(The last day = end of the world = day of the Lord = second coming of Christ in the clouds. The fire judgment on the day of the Lord was technically when heaven and earth passed away, but not a whole new creation, as per 2 Peter 3:5-13. Peter states that there was a new heaven and earth after Noah’s flood, as well as after the fire judgment on the day of the LORD. The apostles all believed they were living at the end of the world / in the last days – see: 1 Corinthians 10:11, 1 Peter 1:20, 1 Peter 4:7, Hebrews 1:2, Hebrews 8:13, Acts 2:15-17, 1 John 2:18.)
“Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.” (1 Corinthians 10:11)
“Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,” (1 Peter 1:20)
“But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.” (1 Peter 4:7)
“Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;” (Hebrews 1:2)
“But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh…” (Acts 2:16-17)
“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.” (1 John 2:18)
Jesus in the Olivet discourse first tells his disciples about the early persecution of the church, false Christs, false prophets, famines, wars (Matthew 24:3-14).
“Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake,” (Matthew 24:9)
We see a lot of this already playing out in the book of Acts, including several false prophets named, famine in Jerusalem and persecution/killing of the apostles and early church recorded.
Jesus says the end would come after the gospel is preached to the world. Scripture records that the gospel was preached to all the world in the time of the apostles (Acts 1:8, 2:5; Colossians 1:23, 1:5-7; 1 Timothy 3:16; Romans 1:8, 16:26; Revelation 14:6).
Jesus then tells his disciples that when they see the abomination of desolation set up in the temple they should flee to the mountains (Matthew 24:15-20). The section of Daniel that Jesus refers to is Daniel 11:31-45.
Those who believed what Jesus said and fled to the mountains, did not face the Great Tribulation inside Judea.
Matthew 24:21-28
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
Jesus clearly lays out the sequence above, where after telling them about the early persecution of the church, he gets into the Great Tribulation, followed by the Antichrist, false prophet and then “the coming of the Son of man”.
The Great Tribulation is also described in Daniel, just after the abomination of desolation part (Daniel 12:1-2, 10-12). Daniel says “there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was”; and that the dead would then be judged “some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt”.
It’s strongly indicated by Daniel 12:2 that the Great White Throne judgment was before the millennial reign. And from Jesus sequence we can see the second coming was clearly after the Great Tribulation.
Next in Jesus sequence in Matthew 24, after his mention of the second coming, is that the elect would be gathered and protected before the fire judgment was poured out, when Jesus came in the clouds:
Matthew 24:29-31
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Jesus says that when they see all these things described in his Olivet discourse start to occur, then they know the end is nigh (Matthew 24:32-33).
Once the elect are gathered the fire judgment is poured out, as per 2 Peter 3.
Revelation matches perfectly with the sequence in the Olivet discourse but you have to realise the story in Revelation begins again from chapter 12 (I will do a separate post explaining Revelation in more detail).
Revelation also describes the angels gathering the elect before God’s wrath is poured out too.
This is exactly what was prophesied by John the Baptist even before Jesus baptism, where he rebukes the Pharisees and Sadducees who, knowing from the Old Testament prophecies that judgment is near, came to be baptised as a way “to flee from the wrath to come” (Matthew 3:7, Luke 3:7-8).
John the Baptist tells them Jesus was coming to baptise “with fire” and refers to the elect being gathered before the judgment. “… he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire” (Matthew 3:11-12). Equivalent verse in Luke 3:16-17.
Jesus also says the tares would be burned at the end of the world (Matthew 13:37-43)
“So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 13:49-50)
The fire judgment was prophesied all through scripture (2 Peter 3:10; 2 Peter 3:12; Matthew 3:12; Isaiah 66:15-16; Psalm 21:9-10; Psalm 97:5; Psalm 46:6; Malachi 4:1; Isaiah 1:31; Isaiah 24:6; Isaiah 47:14; Ezekiel 22:20-22; Jeremiah 7:20; Micah 1:4; Amos 9:13; Zephaniah 1:18; Zephaniah 3:8; Nahum 1:5-6; Luke 3:16-17; 2 Thessalonians 1:8; 2 Samuel 23:6-7; Revelation 14:18-20; Revelation 15:2; Revelation 16:8-10; Revelation 18:8-9; Revelation 18:17-18).
“I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?” (Luke 12:49)
When Jesus tells us in his Olivet discourse that “This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled” (Matthew 24:34), believe him.
When Jesus says some will be taken and some left (Matthew 24:36-51), I believe those who were “taken” were caught up (the so-called rapture in 2 Thessalonians), while those who were left were burned in the fire judgment.
This is also what Jesus refers to over and over again in John’s gospel about raising the believers up at the last day (John 5:28-29; John 6:39-40; John 6:44; John 6:54; John 11:23-26; John 12:48; John 14:2-3; John 14:28-29). John’s gospel also discusses the early persecution of the church (John 16:1-4) and the tribulation (John 16:32-33).
I believe the sheep and the goats judgment described by Jesus in Matthew 25:31-46 is likely the same thing as the Great White Throne judgment.
Jesus says: “For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.” (Mark 9:41)
I believe in the verse above Jesus is referencing the Great White Throne judgment / sheep and goats judgment – “I was thirsty and ye gave me drink” (Matthew 25:31-46).
Remember this sequence: Jesus ascends early persecution of the church Great Tribulation Destruction of Jerusalem and temple second coming of Christ in the clouds God’s wrath, fire judgment poured out Dead judged at Great White Throne new heaven and earth begins after fire judgment just like after flood judgment (see 2 Peter 3), not a new creation entirely new Jerusalem comes down from heaven 1000 year millennial reign Satan’s little season Gog Magog war, fire comes down destroys them when they surround camp of saints (new Jerusalem) Satan cast into lake of fire New Jerusalem continues on, abominations outside the gates scripture ends with Jesus telling us to come.
“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” (2 Peter 3:10)
The end times sequence laid out in Matthew 24 is mirrored in Mark 13.
Jesus foretells the destruction of the temple (Mark 13:1-2), and his disciples ask him when it will happen.
Jesus first talks about the persecution of the early church (Mark 13:4-13), then tells them to flee from Judea to the mountains when they see the abomination of desolation in the temple, so they will not endure the Great Tribulation. Jesus warns about false christs and false prophets (Mark 13:14-23).
Then second coming is after the great tribulation, when Jesus comes in the clouds. The elect are gathered by angels before God’s wrath is poured out (Mark 13:24-27).
Jesus says when all these things begin to come to pass then the end is near. But makes it clear it will all happen within the same generation of those he is talking to at the time (Mark 13:28-31).
“Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.” (Mark 13:30)
The same end times sequence is laid out by Jesus in Luke 21. Jesus first talks about the great tribulation and destruction of Jerusalem (Luke 21:5-11), but then says BEFORE these things is the early persecution of the church (Luke 21:12-19).
Jesus then tells them to flee to the mountains before the destruction of Jerusalem and the great tribulation (Luke 21:20-26): “And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.”
Only after the great tribulation and destruction of Jerusalem does Jesus come in the clouds “with power and great glory” (Luke 21:27-33).
“Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.” (Luke 21:32)
“Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” (Luke 21:36)
Earlier in Luke’s gospel, Jesus tells them to be ready for the second coming and that, before this occurs, there would be great fighting even within families (Luke 12:40-59). He tells them to repent or perish (Luke 13:2-5; Luke 13:23-30).
Jesus also prophesied earlier in Luke the destruction of the temple (Luke 13:34-35), the resurrection of believers (Luke 14:12-14) and that unbelieving Israel of the flesh would be rejected for disobeying God (Luke 14:16-24).
He says the second coming of Christ would be unmistakeable and sudden (Luke 17:22-37).
The persecution of the elect would be avenged by God “speedily”:
Luke 18:7-8
7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
The cities who did not receive the 12 apostles faced judgment, not a completely different set of people 2000 years later:
Matthew 10:14-15
14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Equivalent passage in Mark 6:11-12 and Luke 10:8-15.
Jesus prophesied judgment on specific cities which no longer exist in today’s world (Matthew 11:20-24).
“But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.” (Luke 19:27)
Jesus foreshadows the early persecution of the church from early in the gospels (Matthew 5:10-12; Matthew 10:16-25), and says they won’t have gone over all the cities of Israel until he returns:
“But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.” (Matthew 10:23)
Jesus says heaven and earth would not pass until the law and prophets had been fulfilled (Matthew 5:17-18).
We know that Jesus brought in the new covenant prophesied in Jeremiah 31:31-34, wiping out the old Mosaic covenant (Matthew 26:28; Hebrews 13:20; Hebrews 12:24; Hebrews 8:13, Hebrews 8:6-7; Hebrews 9:15-16; Hebrews 10:1; Hebrews 10:9-10; Hebrews 10:19-20; Hebrews 10:28-29; Galatians 3:19).
The Levitical / Aaronic priesthood was abolished by Christ (Hebrews 7:11-12; Hebrews 7:17-19; Hebrews 7:27-28).
And we know from Jesus own words that the Old Testament prophecies were fulfilled by the coming to pass of the end times events:
“For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.” (Luke 21:22)
All Old Testament prophecies were fulfilled when Jesus returned (Luke 24:44-49).
What does Jesus mean by “that day” in (Matthew 7:22)? He means judgment day, when the dead were judged at the Great White Throne following the fire judgment.
Revelation’s first chapter makes clear it concerns “things which must shortly come to pass” (verse 1) and “the time is at hand” (verse 3). It says those who pierced Jesus would see him return (verse 7).
Jesus repeated himself over and over in the last chapter of the Bible: “Behold, I come quickly” (Revelation 22:7); “And, behold, I come quickly” (Revelation 22:12); “Surely I come quickly” (Revelation 22:20).
Unlike Daniel who was told to seal the book, John was told: “Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.” (Revelation 22:10). The book of Revelation concerns “things which must shortly be done.” (Revelation 22:6)
We are not in Satan’s little season (Revelation 20)
The reason people believe we are in Satan’s little season is because they think that there is no possible way we can currently be on the new earth. They mistakenly believe new earth is an entirely new creation, even though scripture clearly states that earth abides forever (Ecclesiastes 1:4)
More pertinently, you can see from the highlighted parts above that 2 Peter 3 clearly states heaven and earth passed away on the day of the Lord, while the apostles all said they were living at the end of the world / in the last days. It couldn’t be clearer.
The reason there is only a short part of scripture about Satan’s little season is because it was a short time, part of God’s plan after the 1000 year millennial reign, and it was for a specific purpose defined in scripture.
Those who say we are currently in the little season have to stretch credulity to say we’ve been in the little season for 500+ years now, but we can see simply by looking at the other reference in Revelation to a “little season”, that it is a lot shorter than hundreds of years (Revelation 6:9-11)
Even a “long season” is just the time of Jesus ministry (Luke 23:8). Use scripture to interpret scripture when it comes to deciding what a “little season” means.
Little season theory, the idea we are currently in the little season of Satan, glorifies Satan, and places him in full control for potentially a thousand years now, when in reality only a relatively short time was needed to carry out the Gog Magog war defined in scripture, and to deceive the nations into giong to war against the camp of the saints.
Jerusalem was destroyed within the same generation of the apostles as prophesied by Jesus in the gospels, and after the fire judgment on the day of the Lord, new Jerusalem came down out of heaven at the beginning of the millennial reign. There is only one new Jerusalem mentioned in scripture, those who subscribe to the little season theory have to argue for two new Jerusalems.
Revelation says during Satan’s little season the Gog Magog war would occur, and fire would come down and destroy those who decided to go up against the camp of the saints. It does not say that the whole earth would be destroyed at that time, just those who decided to attack the camp of the saints. Proponents of the little season theory argue that the whole earth will be destroyed and a new one created at the end of the little season, when there is zero scripture to back this up.
The Gog Magog war is long in the past, and new Jerusalem carried on after Satan was cast into the lake of fire. There is still a rebellion by man against God taking place, but new Jerusalem remains holy.
When scripture such as Isaiah and Revelation talks about the new heaven and earth, it focuses on Jerusalem as where God’s people are living in happiness; the end of Revelation clearly states that sin, murder and sorcery would carry on outside of new Jerusalem.
Man still has a choice to follow God or rebel against God, and much of the world today is in rebellion, or deceived as to the truth of the scriptures.
God’s focus in scripture is clearly on Jerusalem, but there are still unbelievers outside the gates of new Jerusalem on the new earth.
“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.” (Isaiah 65:17-19)
“The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.” (Isaiah 65:25)
“As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.” (Isaiah 66:13)
“For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.” (Isaiah 62:1)
“And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.” (Isaiah 62:7)
“Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.” (Isaiah 52:1)
“So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.” (Joel 3:17)
“Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.
For those who are saved and following God, new Jerusalem is there right now for us to go to, but it is being concealed by the inverted children of Satan all around us. The real Jerusalem is located at the centre of the flat plane (i.e. where the compass points). The last thing Jesus tells us in Revelation is to come.
Pay attention to when Peter describes the new heaven and earth coming into being, and you will see new heaven and earth begins after the fire judgment, just like after the flood judgment (it is not a whole new creation):
2 Peter 3:5-13
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
We can see from the “meltology” evidence of melted red brick buildings all over the world that the day of the LORD, and the fire judgment, is definitely in the past.
Jesus makes several references in the gospels to “the world to come” (Matthew 12:32, Mark 10:30, Luke 18:30).
The new heaven and earth, “wherein dwelleth righteousness”, was the start of the millennial reign.
It’s clear we are currently at the end of Revelation, with the abominations outside the new Jerusalem (and new earth does not mean a new creation; earth abides forever). What’s not clear is how long it has been since the prophecies in Revelation were fulfilled.
Little season theory is just as demobilising as dispensationalism as it just has us waiting for the clock to run out. Jesus tells us clearly at the end of Revelation that we redeemed have to come to the New Jerusalem, which I believe is physically on the earth, as Revelation says it came down from heaven.
It’s time to start the next exodus.
