“The great white throne judgment hasn’t taken place, and there is a Lake of Fire yet to happen. These things happen at the Parousia which is after the millennium. This is the literal coming of Christ. The creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God (Rom. 8: 19). What was invisible will clearly be seen when Christ comes. The church is the world without end even though this world will be made new; the church will never end. When Christ appears; then shall we appear with him (Col. 3: 4). The coming of Christ in A.D. 70 was figurative. Matthew 24: 29-30 says “immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the power of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming (Erchomai) in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” Erchomai is a figurative coming. The ‘Christ’ who came in A.D. 70 was “The word” of Christ: John 12: 47-48 says “And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.” So, in A.D. 70 Christ, or his word came to judge Jerusalem. Matthew 24: 35 says “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”
