That was a perfect and brief outline of Chapter 4. That is about all I can agree with!
The rest ... amazes me. I always knew that Preterists and Partial Preterists symbolize the book of Revelation, but I never looked into the details or realized the extant of symbolism used.
Tell me, what other book in the Bible is viewed almost entirely symbolically? God gave us His word for us to literally understand. He wants to communicate to us directly by using language that we nirmally communicate with and understand, not an entire book of symbolism. Certainly symbolism is used but is usually explained in scripture. Some people symbolize the entire book of Genesis too, to accommodate their Theistic Evolution Theory. That is bad theology too.
Was God's letters to the Seven Churches, messages to actual churches that existed? Yes they were. What message can we get from those letters? Jesus points out false doctrines, sins, lack of love and life and general works/ fruit. He chastises them and tells them to repent or else. So we see these same conditions in our present day churches and ourselves.
Was God's message in Revelation concerning anything that happened in Jerusalem in 70 AD? No, how it be, John wrote the book of Revelation around 95 AD.
There was no need to give us visions of something that happened in the past.
That is really what Preterists must deny and altar more than any one fact for their whole symbolic view to work, the date Revelation was written. If it was written in 95 AD, their whole theology crumbles. Then it would be just historical and literal, no need for symbolic interpretations.
They must deny the date and then proceed to deny every single event that God has given us that describes the Great Tribulation, the Second Coming of Christ and afterwards, His Millennial Kingdom. This is a blatant denial of scripture. You read it, but you did not receive a blessing did you? Because you distorted it - no blessing for that!
I have to thank you for exposing this theology and laying it out for all to see.
All you have to do is wait a little longer. You will begin to see all these events literally happen. I believe Satan is now in control of this One World Government. We have seen our freedoms stepped on. No other time in history have we seen every country comply to lockdowns, masks, social distancing, dictating what his knees is essential and which ones are not and soon forced vaccinations.
It is the "beginning of sorrows" spoken about in Matthew 24. It precedes the GT ... or we are already in it.
The four horsemen are coming, the Seals are being opened or have been already, the Trumpets will sound and the Bowls of God's wrath will be released - ON THE ENTIRE WORLD -- NOT JERUSALEM 7O AD.
Judgment is coming to all nations. All nations will come against Jerusalem, not ROME OF 70 AD. Wars, famines, pestilence, earthquakes in various places, catastrophic events, stress throughout the entire world never experienced amoung such a vast population of 7.8 billion people.
Just wait a little while longer. This Great Reset is part of it. This pandemic is part of it. The coming war in the Middle East of ten nations against Israel will be a major part if it.
You like symbolism. here is some. Check this out. The Rider on the White Horse was given a crown (corona virus). It does not say he was wearing it. Many believe this Rider is the Antichrist. The Rider goes out to conquer the world. Isn't that what this pandemic has done?
How does Satan work? Through lies, deception, fear and then control. Temptation too on an individual basis. But how could he control the entire world unless he caused fear. People comply when they are afraid.
I never thought it would start this way, but it is actually brilliant, its working. Not giving him praise, just wow. He doesn't even have to have people believe in him to control them.
He is using people like the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Soros, Gates, Zukerberg, to do his thing. What's in the vaccine? More than you think. Just wait a little longer for your whole symbolic house of cards to collapse as you see literal scenario unfold.
