I am so happy to tell you that according to Ed Stevens, the Holy Spirit is no longer with you. He was only with the apostles until 70ad while they accomplished the great commission. That is not for us, the Holy Spirit is a past event. So all of you who seek and long for the Spirit to guide your path, you need to build a time machine, and go back to that historic period, when God could be with you in your daily walk.
Ed Stevens Questions and Answers
QUESTION: Matt. 28:19, 20 “..lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (AGE) Does this imply that he was “with them” always, or only until AD 70?
ANSWER: The Greek here is very interesting. Literally translated, it reads, “...and behold I am with you all the days until the consummation of the age.” There is an unfortunate translation here. It should say, “the whole time” (lit. “all the days”) rather than “always.” He would be with them the whole time they were announcing the coming of the kingdom, down to the very consummation of that age. HE WAS SIMPLY TELLING THEM THEY WOULD NOT BE ALONG DURING THIS PERIOD when the great commission was being accomplished (from 30 to AD 70). He would be Spiritually present with them (through the work of the Holy Spirit) TO SEE THEM THROUGH to the very end of that old Jewish age. In AD 66-70, Christ Himself returned to put down His final enemies and give His saints their kingdom inheritance. They had only a temporary and partial “pledge, earnest or seal” of that inheritance from 30 to AD 70. The great commission given to the twelve apostles was completed by the time Jesus returned at the end of that Jewish age. -Edward E. Stevens
