MORE ON WHETHER JESUS MADE HIS FINAL APPEARANCE IN A. D. 70— The Apostle Paul wrote that when Jesus returns the second and final time, Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them [biological dead believers] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord (1 Thess. 4:13-18). It is vital to understand that if Jesus made His second personal advent in A. D. 70, the immensity of the event would have prompted someone to mention or write about it after that date. But no! It is not recorded anywhere, including “church fathers” who lived in A. D. 70 and beyond, that the Messiah made His personal advent at that time. Not even Josephus, who covered the Jewish/Roman war, wrote anything about the personal arrival of a Messiah. This matter would have been newsworthy, the greatest newsflash to have ever occurred, yet no one recorded it. Furthermore (and this is important), there is zero history of hundreds of thousands of Christian believers suddenly disappearing! Why? Why wasn’t this celebrated event recorded, publicized, and proclaimed? Surely God the Father would have thought it important enough to notify His whole creation of a matter that was prophesied and written about by numerous of His servants through the centuries. Yet the presumed event remains silent. That Jesus came in judgment upon the rebellious Jews in A. D. 70, as prophesied in Matthew 24 and Luke 21, and as history records, no honest student of heaven’s testimony will deny. But that He made His second personal advent at that time, most will deny. Tell me, please, which newsflash would have been more meaningful in A. D. 70, the destruction of Jerusalem and the Jewish State or the second personal advent of our Savior? The destruction of Jerusalem and the Jewish State were splashed all over—published and proclaimed. But nothing, zero nothing, is said about Jesus making His second personal arrival. The presumption must follow that the hypothesis, which claims that He made His second personal coming in A. D. 70, is highly questionable. [P. S.
