Matthew 24: Part 1 Before and Prior to the Olivet Discourse. And Y’shua WENT OUT of THE TEMPLE to DEPART, and his disciples drew near and were showing him the construction of THE TEMPLE. 2. But he said to them, “Behold, don’t you see all these things? Truly I say to you, nothing will be spared. Not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.” That’s the only paragraph addressing the destruction of the Temple, so that issue was addressed there, prior and before the so-called Olivet Discourse, not during it, as the context shows. From The Temple Mount, it is about a half a mile distance (7 furlongs. Cp. Acts 1:12, NOTE: there are different readings for that verse), which depending how slow or fast one walks, takes about 10 to 20 minutes, even on a flat surface walkway. The Mount Of Olives lies over the city on the east side of Jerusalem, and is parted from it by a deep valley, interposed between, which is named ‘Cedron’. 7 furlongs is the maximum distance of travel permitted on Shabbath, see Exodus 16:29. SIMPLE MATHEMATICS. 👍🏼 A critical noteworthy thing to remember is that the Scriptures did not have Chapter and Verse NUMBERS until well into the 2nd Millenium of the common calendar. The texts, even without paragraph breaks (or, preceding ❡ markers) show Y’shua at 2 different locations, of course obviously at different times, and there is no indication of what they talked about the between the 2 places (at least here in-between), even if it was on the same day and same time frame of succussion of walking up unto the mountain from the Temple, or even vice-versa, but whatever it was, I don't think it was about the birds and the bees. 🙂 That’s Part 1, with Part 2 to follow, Yah Willing. #Matthew24 BEFORE THE #OlivetDiscourse #MountOfOlives #MountOfAnointment . #Eschatology #ContextIsKIng #ContextMatters #ContextIsBeautiful #Bible #Scripture #Scriptural #Biblical #Saints #Hebraic #VerseOfTheDay #VersesOfTheDay #YHWH
