Finish the last thought on what we did last time in Luke 21:8:
Luk 21:8
8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not led astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am he (the careless city-Zeph 2:15); and, The time is at hand: go ye not after them.
The time is near
The time is at hand
The time is come
The time is drawn near
Time is come nigh
The season is near
***What time? Is there a link btw "the careless city" and "the time is come"?
**Could Jesus statement be a warning for us to go not after "I am" AND "the time is come"? Go ye not after them!!!
Eze 7:7
Thy doom is come unto thee, O inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful (probably a joyless shout) shouting, upon the mountains.
The day of the Lord (Zeph 1:14-16)
Zep 1:14-16
-day of wrath, trouble, distress, wasteness, desolation, darkness, gloominess, clouds, thick darkness, trumpet and alarm
Eze 7:12
12The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
Whole "multitude"? Where?
Vs 2 ...the land of Israel
Then all of Eze 7
Eze 7:1-4
1 Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 2 And thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto the land of Israel, An end: the end is come upon the four corners of the land. 3 Now is the end upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways; and I will bring upon thee all thine abominations. 4 And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity; but I will bring thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
Read all of Eze 7….
Summary:
Why shouldn't we go after them? Who is "I AM"?
Why can't we listen to their statements regarding "the time is come"?
-she was a place for beasts to lie down (Zeph 2:15)
-a desolation (Zeph 2:15)
-didnt trust God or draw near to him (Zeph 3:2)
-didnt obey (Zeph 3:2)
-her prophets are light (reckless) and treacherous (deceitful) (Zeph 3:4)
-walk like blind men (Zeph 1:17)
Luk 21:8
8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not led astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am he (the careless city-Zeph 2:15); and, The time is at hand: go ye not after them.

....Paul
Act 19:26-27
26 And ye see and hear; that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they are no gods, that are made with hands: 27 and not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana be made of no account, and that she should even be deposed from her magnificence whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
Act 26:21
For this cause the Jews seized me in the temple, and assayed to kill me.
Paul uses it in comparison similar to Jesus in Matt 12:3-5 - we just read
1Co 9:13-14

metaph. the spiritual temple consisting of the saints of all ages joined together by and in Christ
Mat 23:16-17
16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor. 17 Ye fools and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that hath sanctified the gold?
Joh 2:18-21
18 The Jews therefore answered and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? 19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 20 The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days? 21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

The God that made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Paul mentions 'shrines' to Diana (Artimus)
Act 19:24
For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Diana, brought no little business unto the craftsmen;
1Co 3:16-17
16 Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.
2Co 6:16-17
16 And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? for we are a temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you,
Eph 2:20-22
20 being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone; 21 in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord; 22 in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
God temple is now spiritual AND in his people
**REVELATION IS A SPIRITUAL BOOK**
Rev 4:2
Straightway I was in the Spirit: and behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting upon the throne;
Rev 11:1-2
1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and one said, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 2 And the court which is without the temple leave without, and measure it not; for it hath been given unto the nations (GENTILES): and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
God has allowed the outer court of his NAOS to be trample by the GENTILES
2Th 2:1-4
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him; 2 to the end that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is just at hand; 3 let no man beguile you in any wise: for it will not be, except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, 4 he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God.
**The falling way occurs in the NT NAOS of GOD, not in a building in Jerusalem.
***We can be fairly certain that the naos that is mentioned in Revelation is a spiritual picture of God's people. And in order to see it we can't take it literally, it is with spiritual eyes we have to look at it.
***Misc verse which support the "falling away"
(Mat 24:15)
When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth understand),
Eze 7:22
My face will I turn also from them, and they shall profane my secret place; and robbers shall enter into it, and profane it.
Eze 7:14
They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but none goeth to the battle; for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
***Why didn't they go to battle? They weren't prepared!!
Eze 7:16
But those of them that escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity.
***Escaped of Babylon or "I am"
Isa 47:8
Now therefore hear this, thou that art given to pleasures, that sittest securely, that sayest in thy heart, I am, and there is none else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
Isa 47:1-3
1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate. 2 Take the millstones, and grind meal; remove thy veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.
Isa 47:5-7
5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for thou shalt no more be called The mistress of kingdoms. 6 I was wroth with my people, I profaned mine inheritance, and gave them into thy hand: thou didst show them no mercy; upon the aged hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke. 7 And thou saidst, I shall be mistress for ever; so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end thereof.
Isa 47:10-11
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness; thou hast said, None seeth me; thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee, and thou hast said in thy heart, I am, and there is none else besides me. 11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know the dawning thereof: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it away: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou knowest not.
***Revelation's verse w NAOS:
Rev 3:12
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple G3485 of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
