Respectfully, this makes no logical sense in the biblical narrative. All the Jews were never going to believe no matter what moment in history, only the remnant (the Christian Jews). Point 1: In the first century the Christian Gentiles were grafted in with the Christian Jews. The first century Christian Jews were the remnant, the true Israel, the true Jews of faith that Paul spoke of. All of the first century Jews who rejected Christ were no longer considered Jews, even though they were born of Jewish parents. This fulfilled the prophecy that "all Israel will be saved". All Israel was saved because only the Jews of faith were considered real Jews, not the Jews of the flesh. Point 2: The kingdom that Jesus established in the first century has no end. Point 3: The tribulation of the Jews was a first century event consisting of the siege and destruction of Jerusalem, the Temple, and the Judean countryside circa A.D. 70.
"The last war according to the Bible" was the war between Rome and Israel that included the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem in 70AD. The antichrist and everything else was in the 1st century. Matthew 24. Jesus says that the Temple will be destroyed. The disciples ask when and about the end of the age. They were associating the destruction of the temple with the end of the age, the end of the old covenant age represented by Jerusalem and the Temple. Jesus then tells his disciples what signs THEY (not us) were going to see. Then he gives the timeframe in verse 34, "This generation will not pass till all these things take place". 37 years later in 70 AD, within that generation, Jerusalem and the Temple destroyed as Jesus predicted.
Matthew 24:14 The Good News will be preached throughout the world to all nations, then the end will come.
End of what? Old covenant age of Israel including the Temple. Was the gospel preached throughout the world before 70 AD? Yes
Colossians 1:23b ... The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God's servant to proclaim it.
What do you think John the Baptist was saying when he asked them if they were fleeing "the wrath to come"? John new it was going to be destroyed as well and he called it the wrath of God.
Revelation (written before 70 AD) was just a broader rehash of Matthew 24. Except now it was imminent. You can sense the urgency of Revelation when you read it.
Research and consider preterism as your eschatology instead of dispensationalism. It will change your life and your outlook for the future in a positive way. For an expample, Matthew 24.
- Jesus is leaving the temple. The disciples point out the buildings. Jesus states that the temple will be destroyed.
- The disciples ask when it will happen and about the end of the age. "The age" being the age of the law and the temple cultus system. The Jews believed in two ages, the age of Moses and the Law and the Age of Messiah.
- Jesus gives many signs to observe before the temple and Jerusalem are destroyed.
- Matthew 24:34 Jesus gives the time period. "This generation will not pass away until ALL these things take place."
- True to His word, within that generation in 70 AD, Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed by Titus and the Roman army. Thus bringing an end to the age.
- From Jesus to 70 ad, God was building His new Jerusalem and Temple. A city not made with hands, a spiritual kingdom, the Kingdom of God. The Apostles were the foundation, Jesus the cornerstone, first century saints the walls. 70 AD God chose whose side He was on.
- Now today, anyone can be part of the Kingdom of God by believing on Christ and following only two commands. Love the Lord God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. Love your neighbor as yourself. All the commands can be summed up in these two.
- There is no future rapture or physical coming of Christ. The earth is ours to make a better place for everyone.
"You" will hear of wars and rumors of wars. The "you" was Jesus' first century audience, not us. They would be killed and hated, they would see false prophets, ect. In the previous chapter Jesus was teaching in the Temple and told the Jewish leaders that judgement was going to fall on that generation for their murder of righteous people, including Jesus' disciples (killed and hated). He then leaves and in 24:1-2, He tells His disciples that the Temple will be destroyed. His disciples ask when these things will happen, the sign of Jesus coming in said judgement, and the end of the age. His disciple were connecting the destruction of the Temple with the end of the age, the old covenant age that was symbolized by the Temple. This was fulfilled circa A.D. 70 when Jerusalem, the Temple, and the Judean countryside were destroyed when Jesus came in judgement for the murder by the Jews of every righteous person of all time back to Abel. He used the Romans as His proxy army, just like God used various nations armies in the OT.
As far as the Good News being preached in the whole world before the end of the Temple age in A.D. 70. Colossians 1:23 ...The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God’s servant to proclaim it. Paul wrote Colossians 60-62 A.D. So by A.D. 62, the gospel had been preached in the whole world.
All of this was a first century event. Verse 34: This generation will not pass till all these things take place.
