    The stars shall fall from heaven...

    I agree with your general approach of making references to Hebrew Scriptures that clearly use similar metaphors. Jesus throughout His Ministry uses allegorical stories and draws on Jewish Scriptures to convey spiritual truths. The themes of justice and judgment are a strong part of the Olivet...

    The stars shall fall from heaven...

    Not fully, but they sure did not know much. And people did, many probably still do thing shooting stars are stars falling. I so often see the thing about "context" that I tend to think of it as a way of saying "I am unassailably correct". Maybe you dont mean it so, but, you know what I mean...

    The stars shall fall from heaven...

    It's quite plausible that Jesus did say this. However, it is unlikely that he meant this literally as he is using Hebrew scripture here, which was meant to be metaphorical to begin with.

    144,000?

    [/b] So like you rightly pointed out, he told His disciples to "look for" that would preceed His coming". Therefore, that scripture is referring to the eventual coming of the prince, Jesus Christ (Michael), i.e. Him, not an immediate coming by him. Did Jesus come in all his glory with his...

    144,000?

    Jesus continued His telling His disciples what signs to "look for" that would preceed His coming. Interestingly enough; He also knew that like the signs of the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem that they would never live to see; He also knew that that they would die before the signs of...
