Was the second coming in 70 A.D.?

What’s Your Question? for March 23, 2011

Some teach the second coming and the resurrection was in 70 A.D., with the destruction of the temple. Jesus talked about this age, in which men marry and are given in marriage, and that age, when we attain the resurrection from the dead, and neither marry nor die (Lk. 20:35,36). If the resurrection is past, why are we still marrying and dying? Paul said Christ was raised as “the firstfruits,” and those who are His will be raised “at His coming” (1 Cor. 15:23). Then he said that is the end, and He will deliver the kingdom to the Father and no longer reign over His kingdom (1 Cor 15:24-26). Premillennial doctrine denies Christ was raised to sit on David’s throne, as predicted by Daniel (Dan. 7:13,14; Acts 2:29-35). The A.D. 70 doctrine also dethrones Christ.
