[asa] Eschatology and soon

Another line of evidence posing a major problem to the claim that the
whole New Testament church was convinced that the second coming would
occur within a few years is the fact that "soon" is used in OT
apocalyptic as well, notably in Joel. As the NT writers were taking
up the idea that it would be "soon" from sources they knew were
centuries old, they would not have been too quick to put a date on
"soon" for things still future.
