What is the literal method of interpreting Matthew 24:34? We are told by Grant R. Jeffery in his book, Triumphant Return that the normal method of interpretation of the prophetic word is the literal method. Jeffrey even allowed for the use of symbolism within that interpretation. Yet, on a key text such as Matthew 24:34, Jeffrey abandons his own hermeneutic.

In this video, we explore two problematic texts for the Premillennial Dispensationalists and their reasoning for a future Rapture and return of Christ.

A similar problem of interpretation is found in 2 Peter 3 with the Scoffers. Futurists actually use the Scoffers to affirm an imminent first century return. At best, they join the message of Peter and the Scoffers in unison with the "day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day argument.
