Still no facts supporting preterism!

Seeing as how Jesus has NOT yet returned, how else can you explain it?

 

Yes, it DOES, indirectly. Scripture saya the 'beast' will stop the daily sacrifice.

Scripture doesn't say directly that Jerusalem would be rebuilt after the Romand destroyed it, but obviously it WAS, & Jesus spoke about it for times that came, & will come, AFTER that destruction.

 

Why build such a temple? Because the Orthodox Jews STILL reject Jesus!

These Jews want to return completely to the Old Covenent ways. Even now, they're breeding animals to be used in those rites. Don't believe me? Just do some Googling. And better yet, just ASK ANY JEW!

 

Obviously, Sir, you've been listening to some charlatan such as Preston, Gentry, etc.

You say you believe by FAITH those events have already occurred? Do you know what BIBLICAL faith is?

Heb. 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Yes, faith is both SUBSTANCE & EVIDENCE. And preterism has neither!

I have FAITH that the sun shall rise every morning on time. Why? because I have SUBSTANCE & EVIDENCE. I know God's laws of physics, kinetics, & astronomy. The sun appears to rise because the earth rotates in an easterly direction, exposing different parts of itself to the sun as it rotates. If the sun were not to rise, I'd never know it, cuz I'd be dead! Were earth's rotation to suddenly be stopped, the atmosphere & all on-anchored objects would hurtle eastward at whatever speed that particular part of earth was moving in normal rotation, which is, where I live, about 1400 MPH. I would be dead before I knew what happened! Thus, long as I live, I have FAITH the sun will rise & set on time!

Likewise, I have FAITH that ALL of Jesus' prophecies shall come to pass EXACTLY AS WRITTEN in their original language. Whatever events preterists CLAIM are fulfillments of those prophecies are NOT EXACT fulfillments! When Jesus returns, he will be in great glory & power, SEEN BY ALL, as He said, to take over complete rulership of earth, as has been prophesied in Scripture since jacob's day, and likely, before that among the faithful. OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S NOT YET HAPPENED!!!!!!

Like many other preterists, both full & partial, you have confused the yet-to-happen eschatological events with the "days of vengeance" on the Jews, which HAVE happened. THAT was the set of events that occurred 66-70 AD on the Jews.

A MUCH-GREATER catastrophe began for the Jews in 135-136 AD when hadrian expelled them from their land & gave that land to the Philistines. That controversy still exists today, with the Jew-palestinian conflicts.("Palestinian" and "Palestine" are Latin for "Philistine" & Philistia".) God only began to lift that punishment, given for the rejection & murder of Jesus, in 1945 after the nazis fell. He's ending it because His time for His deliverance of Judah and Israel is not far off. (But meanwhile the Jews continue to reject Jesus!)

Again, the "broken record" of "These events have NOT yet occurred!!!" will continue to play, proving preterism FALSE!

 

Yes, if he isn't born already.

Why is it NOT possible? I don't know how-imminent the rapture is. The 'antichrist' may come to power before it occurs, but it'll be before the great trib. That trib won't begin instantly after the antichrist takes control.

 

Rev. 13:15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

Evidently, this will be by supernatural means, as statues & images that speak electronically are no marvel to us.

 

Rev. 13:15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

 

So, you simply reject Scripture in favor of the garbage the preterists teach? Adding new meanings to Scripture is as much altering it as is changing its wording!

 

So, God didn't say what He meant, nor mean what He said?

 

Horse Feathers!

While Jesus comes SPIRITUALLY wherever/whenever two or more are gathered in His name, (Matt. 18:20) that's entirely-different from a PHYSICAL return!

And Matthew 24:26-7 is a WARNING from Jesus against EXACTLY the kind of poppycock you posted above!

There are only TWO comings of Jesus mentioned in Scripture. However, the pre-carnate Jesus appeared to Abraham (Genesis 18:1-6) and to Joshua as captain of the Lord's army.(Joshua 5:13-15) The PROOF of that is that both Abe & Josh bowed to Him, & if it'd been merely an angel, he woulda told those men not to bow.

But Jesus will PHYSICALLY return in great power & glory,(Matt. 24:30) as He said, and will be SEEN BY ALL (Rev. 1:7) That's the ONLY other physical return of jesus in Scripture, & it'll be PERMANENT!

 

More horse feathers!

The word rendered "heaven" here in many Bible versions is "ouranos", which means "the sky".

And the four winds blow all over earth, not just in Judea.

And the AOD did NOT occur then, nor has it yet occurred!

And the language is LITERAL!

I highly suggest you toss whatever boox by Preston, gentry, etc. you've been reading & stick to the BIBLE and some good unbiased WORX OF HISTORY!

 

Three of the disciples saw His transfiguration where he appeared with Moses & Elijah. The others didn't see it.

In your zeal to try to prove me wrong, you failed to study Scripture closely enough. First, V 59 says many FALSE witnesses testified, and evidently the two witnesses of V 61 were among those false ones. For John 2 says, 19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 The Jews then said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” 21 But He was speaking of the temple of His body. 22 So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

Clearly, the "witnesses" had twisted His words!

Those who were questioning Him didn't see Him any more after He died.But ALL will see Him as He returns, as He said. Maybe the sign that all will see that'll immediately precede His physical coming will be seeing Him sitting beside His Father. Again, ALL will see His return!

Again, your zeal caused you to miss a key word - "IF" ! Jesus did NOT say that John would live til He returned.! He was presenting a hypothetical situation, such as "IF a frog had wings, it wouldn't bust its butt every time it jumps."

Care to tell us when all green grass was burned up? Or when all life in the seas died? The name of the "beast" & his false prophet?

 

Then you must be using the King George version.

From the NKJV - Daniel 8:12 Because of transgression, an army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices; and he cast truth down to the ground. He did all this and prospered.

 

He will return in LIKE (not EXACT) manner as He left.

How did He leave? He simply ASCENDED. So, when He returns, He will simply DESCEND.

He may be on a horse. Nothing says otherwise.

He may first be seen sitting beside His Father. (But no man will see His Father while still mortal.)

Nothing contradictory in any of those Scriptures. Zech states where He will touch down - the same place from which He departed.

Now, care to tell us who the antichrist was? The false prophet? Describe the appearance of the marka the beast. When did all life in the seas die? When, in AD times, was every island moved from its place? When was there a worldwide rain of 100-lb rocks?
