Jerusalem's Fall and Christ's Return

'Prophecy Watch' by Charles Whitaker

The return of Jesus Christ and the associated judgment are central to the prophetic timeline discussed. Christ's coming, often referred to as the "coming of the Son of Man," is linked to the Day of the Lord, a year-long period of great wrath and vengeance on His enemies, occurring as the final year of the time of Jacob's trouble. At the end of this Day of the Lord, Christ returns to rule, His wrath spent, and assumes the throne of David. At this time of His revealing, He will establish Jerusalem as a city of worldwide acclaim, regather scattered Israel, draw all peoples to Himself, and teach the law from Zion. His reward is with Him, and His work is before Him upon His return, marking the beginning of the Millennium, a time of peace distinct from the destruction of the Day of the Lord. In the Olivet Prophecy, Christ speaks of a future destruction of Jerusalem, not the AD 70 event, emphasizing the days of vengeance when all written prophecies will be fulfilled. The imagery of clouds and apocalyptic rhetoric points to the year of the Lord's vengeance, the Day of the Lord, as the true fulfillment of His coming. Additionally, in Matthew 26:64, Christ addresses the Sanhedrin, indicating they will see the Son of Man in a future event after the Day of the Lord, not tied to the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70. The Parable of the Unjust Judge in Luke 18 also connects to this theme of judgment and vengeance, aligning with the Day of the Lord's prophetic fulfillment.
