Hello. I wish escatological questions were as easy as - like - say "Who was Noah's wife?" Well duh, that's an easy one - Joan of Ark. Unfortunately it seems the more I study Scripture the more questions I have. So this series of questions come from a study I am doing on the matter. (Note to moderators / staff: If this has been hashed to death already here, please feel free to move, delete this thread as needed. Time hasn't allowed me to do a big search here to find out.) Questions are: 1. In Mt 24 and Lk 13 there is a dialog between Christ and his disciples concerning future events. Are these events already fulfilled (ad 70) or are they referring to ad 70 and something yet future to us now. If so, is this future the rapture or specifically the second coming? 2. The elect in the NT comes from the Gr. "eklektos" and is translated both as "elect" and "chosen". To whom does "eklektos" refer? Jews? Believers? Both?
Such questions seem to be a crux in the timing of the rapture. Thanks ahead of time.
