Does Matthew 24:23-26 Teach A Future Coming of Christ in His Kingdom?
This is a great question. It could be answered like attorneys answer many questions. Well, it depends. But on what? It depends on the time perspective you have when viewing the prophecy.
When one reads the text from the time perspective in which Jesus spoke, it certainly was future. On the other hand, if the text is written from a 21st century perspective. It is now a past event.

No Comment Eschatological Impact on Salvation
What is the eschatological impact on salvation? The first time I encountered the word eschatological was in the eighties during an eschatology (from which the word is derived) seminar.

3 Comments End of the World 2012 and Population Growth

Seems we have another statement ...
Speculation continues to mount on the identity of the Antichrist. The problem lies not in the identity of the Antichrist, but in the lack of faith to believe what the Scriptures have stated concerning him. The Antichrist Revealed - Who Is It? We've written before to show very clearly that President Obama is not the Antichrist. For those who do not keep up with the history of assigning the designation of Antichrist to presidents and world leaders, this is not a recent fad.
Mussolini of Italy was called the Antichrist. So was Hitler, Stalin, Saddam Hussein and George Bush to name ...

Do the Egyptians belong in Mt. Zion? From the beginning of Covenant Israel's history and quest for nationhood, a mixed multitude traveled with them from Egypt. Moses was married to an Ethiopian. In the latter days Egypt and Israel's relationship once again unite, not as master and slave but as brethren in the new temple keeping the Feasts of the Lord.
In the prophetic imagery of Zechariah 14, the nations share in the post parousia (coming of Christ) blessings of Israel.
"And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go ...
