The Little Apocalypse – Isaiah 24-27- serve as a major source of NT prophecies of the end time. Yet, these chapters link the time of the end to the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple!

Skeptics say that Jesus’ prediction of his coming found in Matthew 10:22-23, proves that he was a false prophet, and that his apostles were likewise wrong.

If “All” in Matthew 5:17-18 truly means “all” comprehensively, then the Lord has come, the resurrection is fulfilled, and Israel remains God’s chosen, covenant people! If those things are not fulfilled, the Old Law remains in full force, and Israel remains God’s covenant people!
