The End Is Near (1 Peter 4:7)

TECHNICAL ISSUE: The video feed got disconnected about 2 minutes from the end. Here is what was said in those closing moments:

So, based upon these time statements and many others, I believe that Yeshua came in AD 70. The book of Revelation ends with the same time statements that it began with.

And he said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place." "And behold, I am coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book." Revelation 22:6-7 ESV

And he said to me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near." Revelation 22:10 ESV

"Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. Revelation 22:12 ESV

Five times in the last 16 verses he tells the seven churches in Asia Minor that he is going to come very soon to them. These ending verses should be very difficult for a partial preterist. The time statements bracket this book and cover everything in the book including the second coming, the judgment, and the resurrection. It was ALL to happen soon for the first- century audience.

Bottom line, when Peter wrote this epistle the end of all things was at hand. This would have encouraged the believers. Their suffering at the hand of the Jews would soon be over. The Lord’s coming was to be soon.

-----------------------------------------
In our text for today Peter tells his readers that the end is near. What end is he talking about? The majority of commentators and scholars say he is talking about the Second Coming. So, who is the Second Coming near to?
