I disagree with you, in fact the very fact this system is still going proves your theory to be wrong, the generation that read those words has long since expired sir, over a millennium ago. So like I said, it will be answered when it comes, the signs we see indicate it is very near.
That answers the first question of why you look for a greater tribulation to come than was put on Christ although it is written "
nor shall ever be" after the sum total of all tribulations were put upon Him. So, thank you, you have stated the crux of the problem.
But what "system" do you refer to? Surely you refer to the unbelief of those who do not believe all that is written, but believe rather what their eyes have seen rather than what was told them. Surely, you, like they, are not referring to the fact that all that Jesus said would "
shortly take place" and that has taken place "
soon" thereafter according to just how He said it would occur, rather than how it was believed for not having seen it occur against the way it was said it would occur. Which is to say, you and they have believed what you have seen rather than what is written--so don't tell me what is written. If you have a question about what is written, ask it and I will answer. But do not continue to assume that you are at all qualified to bring scripture to the table--because you are not.
What is written that you have not acknowledged or understood, is that what was to come was not at all what you have expected, but what is actually written--that these days would be "
as the days of Noah" where most would not perceive anything of what was actually taking place; that Jesus laid down His body, saying, "
take, eat, this is my body", which was then revealed after gross misunderstanding (just as what I have been telling you has been grossly misunderstood), as being and act by Jesus of giving His body to His church, of which He was to only be the Head. Therefore, Paul came to say, "
for me, to live is Christ"--which is to say "for me, to live is the Son of God!"--that same claim that got Jesus crucified! Nonetheless, Paul was correct to say it in that way, because that is what is written of what Jesus said would occur rather than what has been believed. What Jesus said that should have been believed about Jesus' body being given to the church, is how He said He would do it--and why you believe that all He said has not yet occurred, even thought He said it would and it has unbeknownst to these many generations, has been occurring but unseen to the blind in this way: "
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me." Which what--you think He has not done, because He has been doing so in the spirit, which is His coming [again] in the power and glory of God (whom is spirit) which you have not seen?
Thus, I have been telling you all that has occurred just as it is written. Which has been occurring just as it is also written, just as Paul went on to reveal that all this would come, not as you "
expect" as Jesus said, "
but each one in his own order." But not seeing, nor even hearing or acknowledging all of what is written, many have not believed.
As for not wanting to hear what is actually true if it does not agree with what you have come to believe and are holding fast to attempting to hold the door of revelations closed against the power of God, your response indicates that you do not want to hear it, but also that you need to hear it.
