Matt 24:26 "Wherefore if they shall say unto you..."

They, who?

You, who? or which You...

Jesus is on Mt Olivet, the apostles and disciples are there too, and he is explaining things to them and prophesying to them. THose very apostles and disciples are the very 'You' that verse is addressing directly.. not some group of people some nearly 20 Centuries later.. but those right there in the 1st Century A.D.

And again, which "they"...? THose of that very time way back in the 1st Century A.D... explicitly, though it will not really have much meanign until after the ascension event. It isn't until the Ascension that the Messiah will no longer be in the flesh walking around on Earth openly.. in public.

If you can't stomach nor understand Paul's and Peter's Epistles and Johns Epistles you will not understand many of the usages of the term "Christ"...

Once Christ is in you, as God is in Christ, so too Christ is IN you.. and if Christ is IN you then why would you be looking for Christ to be anywhere else than In you?

If you know that Christ is in you, then you will not be subject to being easily deceived about that.. and the Christ In you came (became avaiable)on that day of Pentacost when the holy Spirit was poured out upon all mankind, and all they then had to do is to believe to just drink it in as according to what Jesus had been telling them about all that time of his ministry before the crucifixion, and even after his resurrection yet before that ascension was over.

Christ in you, the Hope of Glory.. glory is manifested power.. that which is manifest is no longer hidden... or at least not hidden when it is being manifested.



Op, this has been a decent thread and discussion.. thank you.
