Christology and Preterism

The Spirit of grace and supplication has been poured out abundantly over the past 2 millennia upon the true Israel of God, where neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature:

15 For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
16 And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
17 Henceforth, let no man trouble me; for I bear branded on my body the marks of Jesus.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

The true, rebuilt, house of David is comprised of all nations:

11 But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in like manner as they.
12 And all the multitude kept silence; and they hearkened unto Barnabas and Paul rehearsing what signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles through them.
13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken unto me:
14 Symeon hath rehearsed how first God visited the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
16 After these things I will return, And I will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen; And I will build again the ruins thereof, And I will set it up: [see Matthew 16:18]
17 That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, And all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called,
18 Saith the Lord, who maketh these things known from of old. Acts 15

Old man, do you know of any descendants of David, Nathan, Levi, or Shimeites that can be identified as such? Can the Jews themselves identify such people?

No. No such record exists.

 

I didn't mean that generation was in that verse.

 

Where else is it used as race, and not the present generation?

 

So, you've changed your position:

The Meaning of "parousia" in Greek

Try your 'new' position with these passages:

39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous race seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet:
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this evil race. Mt 12

4 An evil and adulterous race seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and departed. Mt 16

40 And with many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, Save yourselves from this crooked race. Acts 2

 

But that's what you said

"I do not believe this, I believe what it says "those who pierced him", That generation".

So if you are going to be a stickler for words so am I.

My but you do mix context of scriptures.

The Deuteronomy passage has nothing to do with the Revelation passage

‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had ships at sea became rich by her wealth, for in one hour she has been laid waste!’20“Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced judgment for you against her.”
Speaking about the future destruction of Babylon.

The passage from Deuteronomy is about Israel abandoning the Lord.

Two completely separate issues.

That God has for a time covered the eyes, does not mean abandonment.

God’s covenants are unbreakable by human effort.

 

Bewildering!

You claim John of Japan changed his position by posting exactly in support of his statement?

 

...more:

34 Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them shall ye kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city:
35 that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth [see Revelation 18:24], from the blood of Abel the righteous unto the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this race. Mt 23

...mere minutes later:

22 For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto this people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all the nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
32 Verily I say unto you, This race shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished. Lk 21

 

The Revelation passage is Deuteronomy passage demonstrated/fulfilled.

 

Old man, you need to go back and read more carefully. He clearly CHANGED his position.

 

The "extra" word is 'this', as in "this generation":

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished. Mt 24
30 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these things be accomplished. Mk 13
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished. Lk 21

 

There is ONLY 1 second coming in the Bible, and since there was no resurrection of all dead and alive in Christ, and a new state here upon the earth, did NOT happen AD 70!

 

Actually it doesn’t, but neither does the passage about the heart burning within give credit for thinking that all prophecy is fulfilled any more than heartburn indicates I have feet.

 

You do not remember that the word translated “generation” when coupled with another word indicating time, places the generation as regarded continual for infinity?

Hummmm.

 

Use “race” where “generation” appears in these verses: Matthew 1:17; 11:16; 12:39, 41, 42, 45; 16:4; 17:17; Mark 8:12, 38; 9:19; 13:30; Luke1:48, 50; 7:31; 9:41; 11:29, 30, 31, 32, 50, 51; 16:8; 17:25; 21:32.
