*snip* RON In each of the verses you quoted one COULD interpret the word immediately as "suddenly" and it would still make sense. In each case the cure or response was sudden and immediate. Even if we chose to give the greek word only your limited understanding of it, it still would not remove the possible explanation that we are still within the period of the tribulation: all the things described by Jesus have happened, and some continue to happen (persecution, etc.). Though I am still inclined to accept the "sudden" interpretation of the word, if someone with greater knowledge of the greek word could explain it away, I will accept your narrower definition. Either way I see no difficulty with this verse. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
