7 Benefits of earlier vs. later biblical apocalypses: their less detail means the primary chronological phases and their order are more clear they often cover more ground, tying together more major events
8 Benefits of earlier vs. later biblical apocalypses: their less detail means the primary chronological phases and their order are more clear they often cover more ground, tying together more major events they include fewer non-chronological supplements (illustration, application, etc) to be distinguished amidst their chronologies
9 Benefits of earlier vs. later biblical apocalypses: their less detail means the primary chronological phases and their order are more clear they often cover more ground, tying together more major events they include fewer non-chronological supplements (illustration, application, etc) to be distinguished amidst their chronologies helpfully absent is the freedom seen in later revelations, to give detailed attention to some events while skipping over other events altogether
10 II. Jesus First Apocalypse: Mt 16:24-28; Mk 8:34-9:1; Lk 9:23-27
11 Jesus First Apocalypse Mark 8:34-9:1 Matthew 16:24-28 Luke 9: For what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels. JC s 2 nd Coming Divine, evaluative judgment Divine, retributive judgment 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and will then repay every man according to his deeds 25 For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits himself? 26 For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

14 Jesus Second Apocalypse The days longing for 1 of the Days of the SofM People living/attempting normal lives, unawares Color Legend JC s death, 1 st event of His complete apocalypse The godly removed geographically before retributive judgment arrives Luke 17: And He said to the disciples, The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 They will say to you, Look there! Look here! Do not go away, and do not run after them. 24 For just like the lightning, when it flashes out of one part of the sky, shines to the other part of the sky, so will the Son of Man be in His day. 25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26 And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 It was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building; 29 but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Divine, evaluative judgment JC s 2 nd Coming Divine, retributive judgment

And He said to them, Where the body is, there also the vultures will be gathered.

19 Outline of Jesus Second Apocalypse (Lk 17:22-37, cont) Excursus: Two of Five Reasons the Days of the Son of Man segment in Lk 17 should be read as a chronological section describing the Rapture 1. The tendency to export backward one s interpretation of the Olivet Discourse s Noah sequence onto Luke 17 s Noah sequence is invalidated by (micro) progressive revelation. The problem is intensified by the reality that scriptural wordings of the two Noah sequences are not even identical, let alone their location and probably their function, within the two apocalypses: Luke 17:27 (NASB95) 27 they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Matthew 24:38-39 (NASB95) 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
20 Excursus: Two of Five Reasons the Days of the Son of Man segment in Lk 17 should be read as a chronological section describing the Rapture (cont) 2. Genesis is clear that while the whole earth was flooded, it was not the whole earth that received judgment. The failure to capture this distinction leads many interpreters to improperly minimize the extent of the parallels between the Noah sequence and the Rapture. Two passages for discussion: Matthew 24:38-39 (NASB95) 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be. Genesis 7:21-23a (NASB95 + my translation) 21 All flesh that creeped, moved used rarely of water animals, and always with the explicit mention of ;ה ר מ ש] water as their medium] on the earth perished, birds and cattle and beasts and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind 22 of all that was on the dry ground ח ר ב ה],[ב all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died. 23 Thus He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the ground א ד מ ה],[ה from man to animals to creeping things and [ה א ר ץ] to birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth SEE ALSO APPENDIX 2 FOR A FULLER EXCURSUS
21 n o n c h r o n o Outline of Jesus Second Apocalypse (Lk 17:22-37, cont) III. (30-37) Chronology part three: The Day the Son of Man is Revealed will arrive, and be the same (κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ), i.e. will also involve sudden events requiring urgent, geographical flight (30) no connective + indic. fut.: marks the next event of the chronology A. (30) Event #6: The Day the Son of Man is Revealed arrives, in a setting like (κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ) part II above - l o g i c a l (31a) no connective + neg. subj. aorists: marks commands resultant to the prior chronology event B. (31b-32) Related commands: Remembering the physical destruction to Lot s wife who hesitated, the listeners/readers are to quickly, geographically flee the region on that day (33a) no connective + subj. presents: transition to advisory segment C.(33) Advisory proverb: Seeking to retain one s (way of) life will cause it s loss, willingness to abandon one s (way of) life will cause life s retention (34a) no connective + future indicatives: resumption of chronology section D. (34-36) Event #7: That night of The Day the Son of Man is Revealed arrives, and begins the supernatural gathering away of select people (37a) sequential connective (καὶ) + historical present indicative: the narration transitions into a weaving together of explanation and chronology, by way of an explanatory dialogue that has a final chronology element embedded within E. (37) Event #8: Those just gathered away have retributive judgment as their end experience
