The end of the world is not in view at all. As I've explained again and again, this is specifically about the end of the Old Covenant system. The futurist view you hold on to is not based on an accurate understanding of prophecy.The ending of the Old Covenant was not the carrying out of eschatology. It was the advent of the New Covenant!
The eschatological events will usher in the almost-end of sin, as Satan will be banished, & Jesus will be ruling the earth. Sin won't return til the millenium is up, & Satan is released.
We will just go back and forth on this with both of us insisting that he is right and the other is wrong. Neither of us are making any fresh or new arguments.No, you HAVEN'T. You've presented only imagination, opinion, & guesswork, while I & others have presented KNOWN HISTORICAL FACTS that **PROVE** Nero did NOT meet many of the Scriptural criteria that the TRUE beast will meet EXACTLY, TO-THE-LETTER. Nero didn't come as close to being the beast as Napoleon, Hitler, or Stalin did. (Not to mention Prince Albert who was Queen Victoria's hubby while she was queen of the largest, richest empire of all time so far, while the British Empire was at its zenith..)
As I've told you before, I have earnestly prayed for discernment of the truth when I first learned of the partial preterist view. I certainly would not have taken such a dramatic shift in my eschatological position unless the Holy Spirit had revealed the truth of it to me.Again, you need to REALLY PRAY EARNESTLY to know the truth, and to quit reading the trash of those quack pret "authors" who invent stuff as they go, and, same as you, can't prove a word of it. Those charlatans have really corrupted you!
I would rather suggest that the futurist view only makes sense if you make up gaps in time and force certain interpretations into the passages.
