Preterism and Partial Preterism

[Psalty]

Hey all, not sure what forum to post this in, this one seemed best.

What do you think about Preterism in its many form? I looked at it pretty seriously a while back.

PRO:
“But whenever they persecute you in one city, flee to the next; for truly I say to you, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes.
— Matthew 10:23
Seems to indicate a return in judgement before 70AD

CON: If Revelation is about the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD, why does the warning only go to the churches in Asia minor and not to Jerusalem? Makes no sense.

There is absolutely zero evidence Matthew 24:29 occurred in 70AD.

Partial view acceptable, full blown one heresy

I agree with you on this, but how do you understand Matthew 10 quoted above?

I agree with this as well. I still find viewing the book of Revelation as a book about ad 70 to be untenable since it’s written to the church in Turkey, but the predators will argue. It’s about the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70.

Matthew 10:23, But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

Will be during verse 21, And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.

Which I think is during Revelation 13:15.


And didn't happen in 70AD.
