Endnotes

1. Those who disagree with this view say that it conflates the unconditional Abrahamic Covenant (with the land grant, the perpetual protection clause, and the blessing promise) with the conditional Mosaic or Sinaitic Covenant.

2. For instance, the Jehovah’s Witnesses cult teaches this.

3. The trumpet call and gathering of the saints lead some to conclude that this is the same event mentioned in 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18.

4. Since the words of Jesus Christ here were delivered on the Mount of Olives, they are known as the Olivet Discourse.

5. Three of these four disciples, Peter, James, and John, frequently are mentioned in the Gospels and amounted to a sort of inner circle among Jesus’ disciples. As such, they probably posed the question on behalf of all of the disciples. Andrew’s inclusion in asking Jesus for clarification is an anomaly.

6. Virtually no one in the first century anticipated the details of the First Advent of Christ. They had expected something very different from what happened. Is it not presumptuous and arrogant to think that we in the 21st century have much clearer vision with regard to the Second Advent?

7. A similar description appears in Amos 5:18–20.

8. However, one might argue that some prophecies have dual fulfillment—an immediate partial fulfillment followed by a later complete fulfillment—and that Ezekiel 32:7–8 may refer to same events as those in the Olivet Discourse.

9. For more information on this point, see fn. 7 in Chapter 1.

10. Biltz and others conveniently ignore previous tetrads that similarly fell on the high Jewish feast days, because they did not coincide with any significant events.
