Today, I was interviewed on Dr. Douglas Hamp’s The Awakening Report. It was a substantive rapid program!
This is the KEY question to ask the person who thinks the Abomination of Desolation in Matthew 24:15 was caused by Titus
How many times have you been told that the abomination of desolation, as well as the great tribulation, in Matthew 24:15–21 is not an event that will be fulfilled in the future? Many times.

Where Is the Rapture in the Book of Revelation?
This is good ol’ fashion comparing Scripture with Scripture. Notice all five passages link between (1) Christ appearing in the sky and (2) the gathering of God’s people. 1 Thessalonians 4:15–17 “For we tell you this by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming [parousia] of […]

At the end of the day, Amillennialism uses allegorical interpretation
[In response to covenant/amillennial theology, Blaising and Bock write:] “Rather than talking about an earthly, carnal kingdom, as the original language of the human prophet suggests, the “unconscious symbol” is the new heavens and new earth as the New Testament indicates by its emphasis on this theme and its exclusion of discussion about the land.
