					<description>I like Keith's perspective.  

J. W. McGarvey makes a lot of sense to me in his &lt;a&gt;commentary in the Fourfold Gospel&lt;/a&gt;</description>

					<description>I don't think there's a label for what I believe.

I believe Jesus &lt;i&gt;began&lt;/i&gt; coming back when Jerusalem fell, instituting a process which continues to this day. How long it will continue, I do not know. But I believe the cataclysm described in connection with His return pretty adequately describes (in apocryphal terms) what Josephus describes (in historian's terms).

In other words, I think a lot of folks are waiting for an &lt;i&gt;event&lt;/i&gt; which has already occurred. But they are correct in anticipating a &lt;i&gt;return&lt;/i&gt; which has not yet come for any of us who are still breathing.

To me - a fan of Occam's Razor - it's the simplest way to explain the imminence of Christ's return as described in scripture, as well as the fact that our timeline on this planet continues. &quot;End of the world,&quot; obviously, I would recommend translating &quot;end of the age.&quot;

Believing this, I don't have to try to artificially divvy up Jesus' words in Matthew, Mark or Luke regarding which verses refer to His return and which verses refer to the obliteration of the holy city. He makes no such distinction, speaking of them as one event.

Eternity lies outside of our time, yet is fastened to it through Him. His return for us at the end of each of our lives connects us with His moment of triumph over the old age and ushers us into eternity with Him.

Okay, that's it in a nutshell. I'm the nut who shells it out. But I have no name for it.

I understand that TransmillenialismTM is taken - though their site seems to be offline ....</description>
