Preterism Proof

The HEAVENLY events, maybe, but not the EARTHLY ones, eschatologically speaking.

 

Ok, then, please show us ***PROOF/DOCUMENTATION/EVIDENCE*** those events have already occurred! Shouldn't be too hard, as those are stupendous events, and history would not have missed them!

Yes, we all know J 7 the temple were destroyed, Christians are persecuted with decapitations, there's war & rumor of war, etc. What I'm talking about are the ESCHATOLOGICAL EVENTS, beginning with the doming to power of the "man of sin". Please show us some proof!

 

For the umpteenth time, PLEASE SHOW US SOME PROOF ! !

 

One of the "signs of the end" prophesied by Jesus is that "this Gospel" shall be preaches to the whole world. That's only NOW coming to pass. For several generations after the apostles all died, the Gospel was not introduced to the Orient, the Americas, the South Pacific including Australia & New Zealand, etc. And only NOW is it reaching parts of central South America, some of the Visayan Islands of the Phillipines, and parts of central Africa. remember, the same God that made us, made them also, & He cares as much for them as He does us.

 

No, your answer was wrong.

So, Rev. 13 & Rev. 19 aren't Scripture?

No, that's what preterists have.

We're not discussing Old testament events that have come and gone. We're discussing a series of events that OUR LORD & SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST prophesied would occursurrounding His physical return to earth as its Ruler. So far, His prophecies that've already been fulfilled have been fulfilled LITERALLY, TO THE LETTER, & there's no valid reason to believe the rest won't be fulfilled just-as-literally and exactly. Preterists say they already have been fulfilled, but HAVE NOT PRESENTED ONE QUARK OF PROOF to back up their statements.

Such proof is the ONLY way a preterist can make a case that his assertions are true. Otherwise, all he has is hot air.

 

During WW2, the people of Kyoto, Japan, among others in that nation, were issued a phonograph record that played the sound of American B-29 bombers flying overhead, along with a warning, "when *YOU* hear that sound in the sky, head for a bomb shelter immediately!" Well, Kyoto never heard that sound, as the Americans had decided to spare it, as it's the cultural and religious center of Japan. But the Japanese didn't know that til after the war. But the people of Kyoto were ready!

As Jesus knew His remaining time on earth as a man was almost over, He had to give His prophecy before He left And among other things He said before then was ,"Watch! Be ready!"

And WE should be ready as well. None of us are guaranteed to be here tomorrow.Whatever state we die in will be our state ETERNALLY. So, Jesus' words ring just as true for us as they did for those who first heard them & recorded them in writing.

 

Such an example occurred when Hezekiah showed Evil-Merodach of Babylon his wealth & that of the temple. Hez received a prophecy that all that wealth would be taken by Babylon, but that prophecy didn't apply to that generation. Hez died C. 687 BC while the Babs didn't attack til C. 605 BC.

Not to mention Jacob prophesied the coming of Shiloh(Jesus) on his deathbed. We can assume from the context that his sons were aware of the Shiloh prophecy before that time. While all the Hebrews, among others, watched for Shiloh, He didn't come til C. 2100 years after Jacob's time.

 

For all we know, someone of that church might've died suddenly & unexpectedly the very day he/she heard the message of the letter.

 

Several threads filled & closed, and........

...........Still, NO PROOF from preterists to back up their claims!

 

Jesus' prophecies are NOT metaphorical language. That's the preterists' fave excuse for their lack of PROOF for their assertions.

 

Hmmmm..... See any PROOF the Gospel had been preached in Japan or Australia at that time? Seen any ancient pagodas in Jerusalem? Know of any ancient jews that lived in the Americas, japan, ot Australia?
