Last days

Augustine 27 bc to 14AD - rule 40 yrs.

What is the definition of the last days? 

Christian persecution - 

Matthew 10:16 Warnings of Persecution of the disciples

23When they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another.

34Think not that I have come to bring peace to the earth, I come not to send peace, but a sword. 

Acts 8:1 

And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem: and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria except the apostles. 

And for Saul, he made havoc of the church entering into every house and hailing men and women committed them to prison.

1 Timothy 1:13 

Paul said he was grateful that he was counted faithful and put into the ministry. He said he was a blasphemer, a persecutor and injurious but he obtained mercy because he did it ignorantly. 

The Christians were persecuted from the time of the death of James Acts 12:1-3, brother of Jesus and high priest of Jerusalem until the Passing of the Nicene creed in 400AD.

41AD Prior to the death of James Paul builds a church community in Antioch

Acts 11: 27-28 And Paul seemingly built a church in Antioch for a year. Prior to the death of James there was a message given to the church of Antioch by Agabus that there would be a great dearth (famine) coming throughout the world (country or provinces) during the period of the rule of Claudius Ceasar and therefore they took up an offering to send to the church of Jerusalem

44AD murder of James high priest of Jerusalem, brother  of Jesus during the reign of Claudius Ceasar 

The bible states James was murdered, and Peter was arrested by Herod don't see a reason for the murder at this time. The Christians were persecuted throughout the book of Acts by the time we get to the book of Revelation Rome is supposed to be in a war with the Jews but there was no contention between the Jews and the Romans. The contention was between the Christians and the Romans who were unable to determine the difference between the Jews and the Christians. 

Death of Claudius Caesar 54AD 

 

Claudius Ceasar ruled from 24 January 41 – 13 October 54 ( the day of his death Ancient historians agree that Claudius was murdered by poison – possibly contained in mushrooms or on a feather (ostensibly put down his throat to induce vomiting) – and died in the early hours of 13 October 54

70 AD The destruction of the temple of Jerusalem (70 AD)

The temple of Jerusalem was destroyed in 70AD after the book of Acts, some of the fathers of the church made claims that Paul and Peter were murdered by Nero 3 years before the temple was destroyed but the bible never mentions their murders. The last letter from the apostles was Jude and it was written before the destruction of the temple Jerusalem?

 By the way what was the name of that temple? 

THE RULE OF NERO 54-68

13 October 54 – 9 June 68
EARTH QUAKE AND SOLAR ECLIPSE 
( MOON LOOKS REDDISH DURING SOLAR ECLIPSE AND SUN TURNS BLACK)

The seals of Revelations chapter 6 are the zodiac giving us the months of the events

September -October (the balances in his hand- Libra)

The first event occurred when he saw a black horse and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand ( this is the month of the Libra) the scales of justice beginning in September - October)

October - November (the horse and sword - Scorpio)

The second event took place the power was given to hi that sat on a red horse and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth and that they should kill one another and there was given unto him a great sword.  (October - November - the Scorpio originally had a sword)  

November - December (the white horse and bow - Sagittarius)

The 3rd event he went forth conquering and to conquer

This text expresses anger about inflation, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny and see thou hurt not the oil and wine. according to transcripts the wheat cost 41.00 a bushel and barley 32.50 a bushel 

Solar Eclipse (the sun becomes black and the moon reddish)

Rev 6:12 a great earthquake and the sun became black as sack cloth of hair and the moon became as blood.  

A major earthquake caused widespread destruction in Italy around the Bay of Naples, particularly to Pompeii, on February 5, 62 AD and it is possible the aftershocks occured for approximatley 7 years and them in 79 Mt Vesivius expoled * the worst earthquake in history. '

History states the war lasted from 63 ad to 136

the first war 66AD - 73AD

the second war 73Ad - 136 ad 

Then there is an earthquake in either Rome or somewhere closer 
One in 69 the other in 65 then there was a fire in Rome 64

The bible says there were seven kings in Revelations 17:10

Whoever Babylon is the people were buying from her. 

Jewish Roman wars began in 62 AD and ended 135AD.

The first war began in 62AD and ended 73AD during Biblical days.

The second war began in 115 - 135 AD.

The construction of the second temple was called for by serious degree and begin in 538 BCE after the fall of the Babylonian empire the year before.

Haggai 1:15 is when it started around 536 BCE.

the temple was destroyed again in 332 BCE when the Jews refused to acknowledge the Acacian of Alexander the great of Macedonia.

The temple was desecrated by Pompey the great who was murdered in Egypt around 48 BC. this is one of the reasons I asked who was behind the rise of these emperors and who gave them some African culture they didn't have it.

Herod King Herod begin to build on the temple and expanded and then it became known as Herod's Temple.

The temple was destroyed during the siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE but who destroyed it?

Jesus prophesied that the temple would be destroyed.

The barkoba cocobelle revolt in 132 to 1:35 they wanted to rebuild the Temple, but his revolt failed and then the Jews were banned from Jerusalem around 132 to 135, they were also banned from Egypt around that time. 

The book of Revelation covers. 95 and 96 AD The temple was already destroyed so what did John see. 

363 of the emperor Julian allowed to have the temple rebuilt but the Galilean earthquake 363 ended all attempts but the question then becomes who was trying to rebuild the temple and why?  The Jews have been expelled so who is remaining in Judea during that time.

When the Jews were expelled in 100 BCE what happened to Israel

The first war began in 66AD and ended 73AD during Biblical days.

The temple of Jerusalem was destroyed in 70AD. Did Paul or any apostles mention it in their letters?

In Galations 49 AD and 53-56 AD Paul said when he received the call from God and when he revealed his son, he did not go to Jerusalem to the apostles before him he went to Arabia. Then he went to Damascus and after three years he then went to Jerusalem. 

Why was Paul sent to Arabia to train he said he was taught by Jesus. Jesus called on Saba chthani when he was on the cross but there was according to Brittanica the Kings of Saba in Arabia during early Christianity/

Is this close to savasana (making your body like a corpse)

What I do know is the Ethiopian came to Jerusalem before Paul was converted inorder to worship at the temple. The Ethiopians were not at the Pentecost the Ethiopian met with Phillip after the Pentecost. 

But Queen Amanatora helped Titus. WHY?

The Christians were persecuted by the Romans but how were these persecutors able to identify the Christians? 

We should consider the restrictions Paul gave to some of the churches was to prevent these churches from being identified as Christian. Use the scriptures to identify why he gave those decrees and why were some different than the teachings of Jesus? 

313AD Edict of Milan - Christianity tolerated 

Constantine and Licinius his co-emperor issued the Edict of Milan which ordered the toleration of Christians, about 250 years after the ascension of Jesus and 200 years after the death of the apostles.  The followers of Jesus had been persecuted even before his ascension to the throne. After 250 years of persecution the Edict of Milan permitted them to practice their faith. 

311AD Edict of Serdica, also called Edict of Toleration by Galerius

The Edict implicitly granted Christianity the status of religio licita, a worship that was recognized and accepted by the Roman Empire.
