Members robycop3 Posted March 21, 2020 Members Share Posted March 21, 2020 Preterism is the belief that the eschatological prophecies have been fulfilled. It's divided into "full" & "partial" preterism. Full prets believe ALL has been fulfilled, including the return of Jesus, while partials believe all has been fulfilled but the return of Jesus. "Partial" is easily proven false by this Scripture - Matt. 24:29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. VERY OBVIOUSLY, this has not yet occurred ! Many prets believe the events of AD 66-70 included the eschatological events, & the great trib was limited to the Jews, but JESUS said differently: Rev.3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Many prets try to limit "all the world" to Judea, rather than just simply BELIEVING JESUS' WORDS. They invent new meanings for many Scriptures insteada simply believing them as written, to try to make them fit pret doctrine. This is simply WRONG ! If there actually WERE different meanings for Scripture, other than as written, then men could make them say anything they wished ! The Spanish jeezit, Luis De Alcazar, popularized preterism to keep his pope from being labeled the antichrist. It has no actual Biblical basis. Now, as to the events of 66-70 AD - They were the fulfillment of the "days of vengeance" Jesus pronounced against that generation of Jews. And remember, a couple of generations later, in 135-136 AD, a much-greater punishment came upon the Jews, beginning with the Romans' booting them from their land. For some 1800 years, the Jews were hated & persecuted wherever they went, culminating in the nazi holocaust. (After that, God began to lift their punishment.) But, fact is, history and reality make a lie out of all preterist doctrine ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, as they will try to use the events of the fall of Jerusalem as being the Great Tribulation foretold by Jesus, yet do not think that fulfilled it being a time like never been seen before or again!
