Theological Oath to all:
I'm
not here to judge, determine, condemn, question, doubt, consider, etc... a
person's salvation. It's not my place! All my motivation stems from that base.
I'll go after a doctrine, but I do not go after a person's salvation. Just as
my relationship with God is private, personal & individual, so is yours ---

Israel's Fulfilled Land Promises:
Why Fulfilled Eschatology Matters
A Futurist catch 22?
When would
righteous blood be avenged?
Deuteronomy 32:5, 20, 29, 43 Matthew 17:17, 23:35, 36, 24:34, Philippians 2:15, Revelation 16:6, 17:6, 18:24, 19:2
Should we rely on external evidence (Church fathers,
Commentaries, Creeds, Liturgies, etc…) or internal evidence (scripture) to best
determine the dating of the writing, and the timing of prophetic fulfillment?
Let’s examine these scriptures:
Revelation 16:6 for
they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood
to drink; for they are worthy.
The blood of saints & prophets is righteous
blood; remember that phrase.
Revelation 17:6 And
I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the
martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
The blood of saints and of the martyrs of Jesus is
again, righteous blood.
Revelation 18:24 and
in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were
slain upon the earth.
There’s that blood of the prophets & saints
again, and it is righteous blood.
Revelation 19:2 for
true and righteous are his judgments: for he has judged the great whore, which
did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of his
servants at her hand.
This verse has an interesting phrase in it “the blood of his servants” and can also
be found in another area of scripture that speaks of the end times/last or
latter days.
Deuteronomy 32:43 Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of
his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be
merciful unto his land, and to his people.
This chapter of Deuteronomy is Moses reminding
Israel what would be “their end”
(verse 20) and specifically “their latter
end” (verse 29) and also mentions that it is referring to a “perverse & crooked generation”
(verse 5) which sounds a lot like Christ “O
faithless and perverse generation” in Matthew 17:17 and nearly identical “crooked and perverse nation” in
Philippians 2:15; and how does Moses begin this epitaph to Israel in this
chapter?
Deuteronomy 32:1
Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my
mouth.
Moses is clearly speaking to Israel about “their end” and “their latter end” and refers to them as “Heaven and earth” and
since Moses refers to Israel as “Heaven
and earth” wouldn’t that necessitate Moses is speaking about “THE END” of “Heaven and earth”?
Whom did Christ say all this “righteous blood” would come upon?
Matthew 23:35 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 you killed
between the temple and the altar.
And when did he say this would happen?
Matthew 23:36 Verily
I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
Deuteronomy 32:43 says “he will avenge the blood of his servants” (Prophecy given) and Revelation 19:2 says
he “has avenged the blood of his servants” (Prophecy fulfilled)
Christ said this “righteous blood” would come upon 1st century Israel
(Matthew 23:36) and this timing of judgment is repeated again in the Olivet Discourse
(Matthew 24:34)
This was the (biblically prophesied) wrath of God,
coming on those that not only were guilty of all the righteous blood shed from
Abel to Zechariah, but specifically for killing (Jesus) the heir (Matthew 21:39)
Christ said this avenging for “righteous blood” would come upon THEM in THEIR/THAT Generation; and
nothing in any scripture speaks of this judgment coming upon a FUTURE
generation, let alone one some 2,000 +/- years removed!
