You are making a broad assumption that no such document exists to prove Christ's AD 70 return. To make such an assumption, you would have to know without exception what historical relics are in every location on earth. Archaeology is an ongoing process, with new discoveries constantly coming...

You aren't reading what I wrote carefully enough. I never said there were no eye-witnesses of Christ's AD 70 bodily return. There were. Zechariah 12:11 tells us that it would be Jewish tribal members "IN JERUSALEM" who would see the returning Christ and who would be greatly mourning when they...

There were no Christians remaining in the besieged city of Jerusalem to be eyewitnesses of Christ's bodily return in AD 70. Remember, Christ had forewarned them in Luke 21:20-21 to flee to the mountains from both Judea and Jerusalem when they first saw Jerusalem surrounded by armies (which was...

Actually, the Roman soldiers built a wall of circumvallation around the entire city of Jerusalem in AD 70, in a matter of just a few days. But whether this Roman wall of circumvallation was constructed either before or after Christ's bodily return, this would have no bearing on preventing...

Ordinarily, it would be reasonable to expect some kind of documentation for Christ's bodily return - unless all of those eye-witnesses of Christ's bodily return to Jerusalem's Mount of Olives (per Zech. 14:4-5) died shortly afterward during the Roman siege of AD 70, or were taken captive to die...

Yep. "A wise king sifts out the wicked, And brings the threshing wheel over them." (Proverbs 20:26). "Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil." (Ecclesiastes 8:11).

All the believers who had died up until then were bodily raised in the AD 70 resurrection, just as had been predicted for that first century generation. The "last days", "latter days", "last hour" etc. took place back then with the power of the holy people being shattered, just as Daniel 12:7...

The Rev. 13 Sea Beast was not a single person, but a corporate entity that included features of the lion, bear, and leopard kingdoms of Babylon, Medo-Persia, and Greece as well as Rome. The Rev. 13 Sea Beast and the Rev. 17 Scarlet Beast were counterparts of each other. The Sea Beast with its...

Jerusalem was also known for the seven hills which it sat upon from antiquity, long before Rome became established on its own set of seven hills as a city on the Tiber. The high priesthood wore a crown on their forehead with "holiness to the Lord" engraved upon it. And the high priesthood WAS...

That is not how the early church in Jerusalem understood the "kings of the earth" term. In Acts 4, when the disciples had just been threatened by all the family members of the high priest (Annas, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, etc.) not to speak in Jesus's name, the believers in Acts 4:24-30...

The Scriptures give the title of the "kings of the earth" to the high priests of the land of Israel in Psalms 2:2 (the kings of the earth who desired to break the bands of Israel's covenant with God and cast His cords away from themselves. The Roman governors and emperors never had such a...

The AD 60 Laodicean earthquake merely proves that Revelation was written shortly BEFORE that disastrous AD 60 earthquake, while the Laodicean church still had a cocky self-assurance of wealth and prosperity. God told them that He was "about to spue you out of my mouth", in a soon-coming...

Abraham was looking forward to the day of Christ's resurrection, when Christ became the chief cornerstone of that spiritual city not made with hands, "whose builder and maker is God". That particular "day" which Abraham looked forward to is the same "day" that is mentioned in Psalms 118:22-24...

Then you totally disregard Paul's testimony in 2 Timothy 4:1 (YLT). "I do fully testify, then, before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is ABOUT TO JUDGE living AND DEAD at his manifestation and his reign..." Paul was writing this just before his martyrdom in AD 67. You apparently agree...

All can testify to is my own experience with what I have read online of Full Preterist forums and teachers, and what I have encountered in real life over the past 13 years of studying the views of various Preterist positions. I have recently been attending a small assembly with a Full...

Well, I find it nauseating that people are still fixated on teaching that our current generation will suffer all those disasters of Revelation in our future, when Scripture teaches us that they have already been fulfilled in the distant past during the first century and are no longer a threat to...

I agree that some of the Full Preterist teaching is bad, but as with all viewpoints, some of their teaching is also good and agrees with Scripture. I try not to throw the baby out with the bath water. I would say that the majority of the Full Preterists teach that this world will NOT have a...

The "grandfather" of the Full Preterist movement (Don K. Preston) has taught this in his "Morning Musings" podcasts. He is echoed in this belief by Michael Miano of the Blue Point Bible Church. These leaders in the Full Preterist group mistakenly believe that Christ discarded and set aside...

But I did check the points the dissertation made, and found them to be the same as what I grew up with from childhood back in the 60's. The author with his alliance to Dallas Theological Seminary is operating from a pre-programmed viewpoint to make his assertions, which are backed by DTS's...

Exactly so. God brought judgment already on Israel back during the AD 66-70 years as the fulfillment of the "Song of Moses" ("the Lord shall judge His people" - Deut. 32:36). Both the dead and the living were judged, just as Paul told Timothy a judgment of the living and the dead was "about...
