The Synoptic Apocalypse (Olivet Discourse)

[Richard Amiel McGough]

I have finally completed and posted my article which walks through all three synoptic accounts of the Olivet Discourse verse-by-verse. I conclude that all three versions report prophecies from Christ concerning the same set of events, namely the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD and the events leading up to it. I also conclude that everything in all three versions of the Olivet Discourse was fulfilled in 70 AD.

I look forward to discussing it here with anyone who agrees or disagrees. Here is the link:

Thanks Richard - I look forward to printing it out and reading it. It looks like a great study that took much effort. Thank you. Is there a good way to print it?

Hi Dave,

There's a "Printer Friendly" button near the bottom of the right sidebar. That will remove the sidebar and the banner bar to give just the text.

I look forward to your feedback,

Richard

PS: It's just a first draft. The problem is that it could easily be expanded into a book if I really wanted to be complete. But that kinda defeats the purpose of a brief overview since the "Big Picture" gets lost in the details.

Brother Richard, that was the most well presented article of the Olivet Discourse I have ever read! I'm absolutely amazed! How long have you been working on that?

I haven't read the entire thing yet, but the section which covers the Olivet Discourse is dead on, and I'm even going to say ERROR FREE. I especially loved your connection with figures applied to Jerusalem (Sun, Moon, and Stars) and I loved how you used Old Testament prophesies against Egypt and Babylon to prove this point. If it worked for the Old Testament, then it most certainly works for the New Testament.

I was very pleased and proud to read your work sir. Thank you very much. Great Job!

Ahh ... shucks! Thanks bro! Those be some very encouraging words.

Of course, the reality is that I learned much of what I wrote from conversations with you and our fellow students here on the forum. There's been some "good fruit."

The biggest problem was deciding what to leave out. If I presented all the evidence the article would have been too big and the power of the primary point would have been lost in all the detail.

I just got back from a road trip to Reno where I witnessed my niece's wedding. I've been gone for nearly a week, so there's lots to catch up on.

God bless!

Dear Richard,

I've read your The Synoptic Apocalypse (Olivet Discourse) page and must say that I disagree with your findings.

I've started to compare the Olivet Discourse to the Book of Revelation myself too and was very curious of the outcome.

I came to the conclusion that the Olivet Discourse and the book of Revelation was not fulfilled by AD70, but rather they describe events that are yet to happen.

As you said you would be willing to discuss the differences, let me give you a link where you can read my study: http://www.olivet-discourse-revelation.com

This study is not as wordy as yours, but has all the verses linked to each other with clear markings that explain the links between the corresponding passages.

Regardless of the results of our conversation I'm sending my brotherly love to you!
