Bible Facts

I'm trying to make a list for some friends new to Fulfilled Eschatology (End Times). I'm looking for a one or two sentence Bible Fact to refute futurists. Please include anything that could help them out. Thank you!

001. All things written were fulfilled IN His Generation (Luke 21:22; 32)

002. The gospel will continue in the world forever (Hebrews 13:20, Revelation 5:13; 14:6).

003. The Gospel has been preached in all the world (Matthew 24:14, Romans 1:8, Romans 10:18, Romans 16:26, Colossians 1:6, Colossians 1:23, Titus 2:11).

004. Jesus told His Apostles they would not have time to preach in every city of Israel before he had come (Matthew 10:23).

005. The world was the Roman Empire (Luke 2:1; Acts 2:5; Acts 17:6; 1 Tim. 3:16).

006. Biblically, the physical world will never come to an end (Genesis 8:21-22, Psalms 72:17, 78:69, 89:36-37, 93:1, 96:10, 104:5, 119:90, 148:4-6, Isaiah 45:17, Ecclesiastes 1:4 , Ephesians 3:21)

007. Heaven and Earth had to pass away before the law could be fulfilled. (Matthew 5:18, 24:35, Hebrews 8:13)

008. God is talking to Israel He calls them, "O heavens," and, "O earth." He is clearly not speaking to the physical heavens and earth. He's talking to Israel (Deuteronomy 31:30; 32:1).

009. Christ destroyed death and believers (those IN Him) will never die spiritually (2 Timothy 1:10, Ephesians 2:4-6, John 11:25-26, Hosea 13:14, 1 Corinthians 15:55).

010 Jesus and His Apostles lived in the last days, the end of the age (Matthew 13:39-40; 24:3; 28:20, 1 Corinthians 10:11, Hebrews 1:1-2; 9:26, Acts 2:16-17, 1 Peter 1:5, 1 John 2:18).

011. Some of Jesus' disciples would not die before His coming (Matthew 16:27-28).

012. John would remain alive until He came (John 21:22-23).

013. Mystery Babylon were those that killed the prophets, Jerusalem! (Matthew 23:27-38, Revelation 11:8, 17:5, 18:24)

014. The first century Jews in Jerusalem would take the fall for killing His prophets (Matthew 23:34-39).

015. Babylon was Old Covenant Jerusalem (Matthew 23:27-38, Revelation 17:5, 18:24)

016. The Scarlet Woman of Revelation 17:3, 15-16 was Jerusalem. She is riding on the Beast of Rome. The woman is actually Babylon the harlot from Jerusalem. She was in partnership with Rome until the Beast of Rome turned on her and destroys her.

017. The Day Of The Lord took place at least four times in the OT and once in the NT and not once did He come in bodily form. (Isaiah 19:1; Ezekiel 30:3-4 - Destruction of Egypt, Judgment fulfilled in 480 BC Isaiah 13:1,6-9 - Destruction of Babylon, Judgment fulfilled in 539 BC Zephaniah 1:4,7,14-15 -Destruction of Jerusalem, Judgment fulfilled in 586 BC Amos 5:18-20 - Destruction of Israel, Judgment fulfilled in 722 BC Matthew 21:43, 22:7, 24 - Destruction of Jerusalem, Judgment fulfilled in 70 AD.)

018. John tells us there were antichrist's already in the first century (1 John 2:18, 4:1-4).

019. At physical death, the body is raised spiritually (John 17:15, 1 Corinthians 15:44-46, Colossians 1:13-29)

020. The Body is raised spiritually (1 Corinthians 15:44-46) This shows two different kinds of bodies. Our natural body dies, and we receive a spiritual body. Paul says, "It is raised a spiritual body." This tells us Paul knew the resurrection was going to be spiritual. Do you know why? because he told us so. SPIRITUAL BODY!

021. The 144,000 came out of the great Tribulation (Revelation 7:14)

022. The Great Tribulation is a period mentioned by Jesus in the Olivet Discourse as a sign that would occur at the end of the age. (Matthew 24:3)

023. If the chief priests and Pharisees knew it was them, How can this be in our future (Matthew 21:40-45)?

024. "Coming in the clouds of heaven" means God is coming in judgment and the high priest would see it before he died (Matthew 26:59-64).

025. Matthew 26:64 He will see Him not his successors Matthew 26:64 Jesus said to him, "You have said it YOURSELF. But I tell you, from now on you [HIM NOT YOU] will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven." It DOES NOT SAY "You have said it yourself. But I tell you, from now on YOUR SUCCESSORS will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."

026. Jesus told His first century disciples BEFOREHAND the things to come in the Last days that were for THEM (Mark 13:11, Acts 3:18, Acts 10:41, Romans 1:2, Jude 1:17).

027. Jesus is saying time is complete and His Kingdom is being established when He spoke it (Mark 1:14-15).

028. Those who died under the Old Covenant, He was The Resurrection, and for those who lived into the days of the New Covenant, He is the Life. Where there is life there is no need of a Resurrection. (John 11:25-26, Ephesians 2:4-6, Daniel 12:1-7)

029. Daniel 12.1-7 tells the prediction of end of the Age. And the Resurrection would occur when verse 7 is fulfilled. The resurrection would happen, when Israel and her covenant relationship was "completely shattered"

030. His spiritual kingdom on earth is forever. (Isaiah 9:7)

031. No one knows the day or the hour but Jesus said it would happen in their generation (Matthew 24:34-36).

032. Jesus told His disciples their generation will not pass away until all these things are fulfilled (Matthew 24:34).

033. The Falling Away in Matthew 24:10 already happened (2 Timothy 1:15, 1 John 2:18-19).

034. The New Jerusalem is on earth and in Heaven. (Ephesians 2:18-22, Hebrews 12:22-23, Galatians 4:21-31)

035. The New Jerusalem is the habitation of God. The city above and the church below are made one, God inhabiting both (Revelation 11:8; 16:19; 18:21).

036. That's where we're at right now in His kingdom, the Body of Christ the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:2-3).

A lot more could be added to this list like the Rapture, Hades, Hell, Judgment and so much more. Please add as you wish. And thank you for your contribution.
