Reader, you might be thinking that this chapter should have come much earlier, even very close to the start. Indeed, I have considered moving it forward. But I have decided to leave it where it stands. It takes us back to the time before the crucifixion, before Pentecost and the establishment of the ekklēsia, before the pseudadelphoi came on the scene, and well before Christendom and all its conundrums were thought of. It gives us, as it were, an eagle-eye‟s view of the age from Pentecost until the end of time at the second coming of Christ. Now a great deal of history has been lived since Christ said these things to the first believers – 2000 years‟ worth, in fact – and when we come to glance at that long history, Christ‟s predictions must govern our understanding and interpretation of it.
