Josephus' writings. RC Sproul quotes him in his Reformation Bible, which I use.

My sincere suggestion is that you give up trying to understand eschatology until you get the basic biblical doctrines and principles of biblical interpretation under control. You need to appreciate the milk before you move to the meat.

Thank you. I have been a true Christian for that long (8 months), but professing my whole life. I have been studying for longer than you think on these things. I have had to reform almost everything I once thought about almost everything, and now it actually means something to me (not just facts). I know that I have come to a sound hermeneutic when I stay within Scripture, and when Scripture does not confuse or contradict itself.

See my comment above. IMHO, you are in no position to make such a determination at this time.

Thats nice, you can still answer the question. It does not take a big theological brain for someone to read Matthew 24 and realize that all the things in Matthew 24 did not take place within that generation. (unless you really are willing to twist scripture around to full pretorism)
