#92 What Changes, What Stays the Same during the Second Coming

By Jonathan S. Rose

Title: What Changes and What Stays the Same during the Second Coming

Topic: Second Coming

Summary: We look at Matthew 24, 2 Peter 3, Joel 2 and 3 and other scriptures that create a confusing picture of what will survive the onslaught of the Coming of the Son of Man. We are reminded again that Jesus' words are spirit and life, and that He wants no one to perish, but that all come to repentance.

This is clear from the meaning of 'saying', when Jehovah is the speaker, as instruction, dealt with in the places referred to in 10280, at this point instruction showing that Divine Truth did not reside with the actual nation, which is meant by the command to them to take off their finery, dealt with below.
