I want to go over a scripture(s) that Futurist(Christians who believe the end times is coming soon) believe tell of a end time future...I want to break this down and open this up for anyone who wants to discuss seriously......Anyone is welcome to give another view or interpretation, but I think its really clear....
I personally have adapted the Preterist View and believe that AD70 was what Jesus was warning the people about...Not some time in the 2000's that would bring the destruction of the world, and btw people have believed the end times were soon for centuries, and guess what every Pastor or Preacher with their predictions have been WRONG....I think this is a very important subject for Christians because it creates a specific mindset about the world we live in!!
So Here we go:
And Jesus answered and said to THEM (DISCIPLES): “Take heed that no one deceives YOU (DISCIPLES). For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And YOU (DISCIPLES) will hear of wars and rumors of wars (SO IS JESUS TALKING ABOUT NOW OR THEN??---OF COURSE THEN) (STUDY AD64-AD70).
See that YOU(DISCIPLES NOT 2018 PEOPLE) are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet( SO THESE THINGS MUST COME TO PASS FOR WHO?). For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places(DID YOU KNOW THIS HAPPENED IN JERUSALEM IN AD64-AD70). All these are the beginning of sorrows. “Then they will deliver YOU up to tribulation and kill YOU(11 OUT OF THE 12 WERE KILLED, PLUS MANY FOLLOWERS- HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN KILLED???), and YOU (DISCIPLES)will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.
Matthew 24:4-9 NKJV

You can't deny this Jesus was very clearly speaking to the DISCIPLES not you and me!!
But he who endures to the end shall be saved.(WHO SHALL BE SAVED AND FROM WHAT??) And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. (THE END OF THE OC IN JERSULAM HAPPENED IN AD70- WHEN WILL THE END COME??)
Matthew 24:13-14 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.24.13-14.NKJV
This is very clear and Paul clearly states numerous times that the Gospel was preached to the whole earth/nations/world/under heaven so the end must have come unless Jesus was lying and Paul wasn't serious when he said the Gospel was preached by him throughout all yhe world
Romans 10:18
Col 1:23
Col 1:6
Rom 1:8
Rom 16:19
1Thes 1:8
“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’(DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE AD70) spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.(IF THE GREAT RAPTURE WAS GOING TO HAPPEN WHAT WOULD FLEEING TO THE MTS DO, AND WE ARENT IN JUDEA)
Matthew 24:15-16 NKJV

This is not about some end time prophecy its about the destruction of JERUSALEM in AD70 and He was warning all that listened then NOT 2000 YEARS LATER
