Non, mais, de quoi est-ce que vous parlez, là, exactement? Et à quel retour du Christ faites-vous allusion, bien exactement, lequel aurait vraisemblablement eu lieu en 70 AD, selon votre théorie??? Rolling Eyes Je le répète : je ne suis pas une valise qu'on remplie avec n'importe quoi! OK?
Par ailleurs, je vous signale que le livre de l'Apocalypse a été écrit dans les années 90 AD... soit 20 ans après la destruction du temple de Jérusalem!.. ce qui fait que... l'heure de la tentation (à savoir la grande tribulation qui a été prophétisée) et qui devrait normalement venir sur le monde entier pour éprouver les habitants de la terre, dans les derniers jours, devrait se faire à l'échelle planétaire, sur tous les continents en même temps, et non pas uniquement à une échelle régionale ou locale! (Apoc 3,10 et 13,15-18)
La Parousie en lien avec La Résurrection, le jugement es nations...ils sont tous interreliés.
