50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the
ghost. 51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the
top to the
bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept
arose,
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the
holy
city, and appeared unto many.

They could not even have been resurrected to life right after Jesus was
because Paul shows that the Christian holy ones will be resurrected and
receive their reward in that day, when the Lord himself will descend from
heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel's voice and with God's
trumpet. Paul did not even write this until many years after Jesus had
been resurrected, and it was to be fulfilled far in the future. 1 Thess.
4:16.

That is what the gospels say.
Paul was obviously wrong here, wasn't he?

And Jesus tell us that the end of the world and judgmemnt day
was to be some 1930 years ago, in the lifetimes of "some standing
here", in "this generation" in the lifetime of the high priest at
Jerusalem.

Now, this 'prophecy' failed, none of it happened in the time and place as
Jesus 'prophecied' so its al lrtaher moot now.
the times for these claimed things is long gone. Jesus was was
wrong, the writers of these anonymous gospels were wrong.

Paul again and again repeatedly tells us Jesus is returning SOON, and
that was wrong too.

Now, catch a clue.

Its all dead and gone. Jesus ain't coming back.
How long are fools going to cling to childish fables?


*************************************************
The outrageous failed prophecy of Jesus
that he'd preside over the end of the world
and judgment day itself 1930 years ago.
William C. Barwell 3-16-05
*************************************************

Deuteronomy 18:21-2
21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we
know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the
LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass,
that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken,
but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously:
thou shalt not be afraid of him.

----------------------------------------------

Jesus prophecied he'd preside over the end of
the world (Matthew 24:3) and judgment day itself,
(Matthew 16:27-8), he claims he will "come in his
kingdom"and "reward all men according to their
acts".

This is expanded on in Matthew 25:31-45.
He will come in the glory of his angels,
he will be "the King". He will ascend to his
"throne of glory" and gather the nations.
He will sort the "sheep" from the "goats" the
good from the evil. Good will be rewarded with
eternal life in heaven, evil will depart into
"everlasting fire prepared for the devil and
his apostles" (Matthew 25:41)
This is what he means by come in his kingdom.
He will literally be "the King" of the world,
And will preside over judgment day itself.
(Matthew 25:31-34), (John 5:23, 5:27).

When? Matthew 16:27-8 has Jesus assuring his
listeners that "some standing here" will live
to see this all happen. See also Mark 9:1.

Matthew 24-5 is one long pericope. A narrative.
Here we are assured that this will happen in
"this generation", Matthew 24:36, see also Luke
21:32, and Mark 13:30.

This generation will see the sun and moon fail,
the stars fall from heaven. Then Jesus will
descend with his fathers angels and "clouds
of heaven". "This generation" is to see this.
Again, Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21.

He tells the high priest at Jerusalem that he
too will see Jesus descend with "clouds of heaven"
the same phrase he tells us "this generation"
is to see in Matthew 24:36. See also Mark 14:62.

This phrase "clouds of heaven" of Matthew 26:64
and Mark 14:62 thus pins down the happenings of
Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 to be seen in
the times of "this generation" as being seen by
then living high priest, and "Some standing here".

Not some generation 1930 years later.

The "high priest", "this generation", "Some
standing here" did not see these things happen
as prophecied.
No religion has ever failed as spectacularly in
its'prophecies' as has Christianity.

This also puts an end to Revelations, all of that
too was to have taken place some 1930 years ago.

Christianity thus is incredibly irrelevant to
anything, having utterly failed in the main claim
of Jesus, when none of this happened as
prophecied,
by Jesus, alledged god himself according to many
trinitarian Christians.

If Jesus, supposed son of god was so wrong on
this, his main claim, he isn't going to be right
on anything else. This is the most obvious failed
'prophet' and the most failed religion of all
time.
And its finally time to admit these facts.

looking after those things which are coming on the

Deteronomy 18
18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among
their brethren, like unto thee, and will put
my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto
them all that I shall command him.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will
not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in
my name, I will require it of him.
20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a
word in my name, which I have not commanded him to
speak, or that shall speak in the name of other
gods, even that prophet shall die.
21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we
know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the
LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass,
that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken,
but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously:
thou shalt not be afraid of him.
