That statement was certainly true prior to 70AD when it was written but it doesn’t apply after the resurrection happens, in fact a person that denies the resurrection after it happens could be overthrowing the faith of others. Something to think about.

Joe only drives home once in that context regardless of what other things he’s doing prior to it. Michael doesn’t make a stand several times prior to the Daniel 12 stand. Yet that’s what has to happen when we place the Revelation 12 Michael vs dragon fight prior to the Daniel 12 stand.

I’m not arguing against a glorification resurrection event and I’m not arguing against a future resurrection either. There was definitely a resurrection in Matthew 27 that I think we all agree happened. I think that particular event was prophesied in the Ezekiel 37 dry bones and probably the...

Sure, there are remains of people who lived prior to 70AD but it would take the remains of a known believer prior to 70AD to shut down the 70AD resurrection belief. I would say it wouldn’t have to be 100% certain but at least a reasonable amount of evidence pointing to a pre 70AD believer’s body...

Jesus ascended shortly after His resurrection then came back. In John 20:16 Jesus tells Mary not to touch Him because He had not ascended to the Father yet. In John 20:27 Thomas can touch Him. So Jesus ascended and returned in a short period of time after His resurrection.

Matthew 27:53 says “And came out of the graves after his resurrection …” It happened after His resurrection.

I’m interpreting scripture with scripture. There is only one Michael and he takes a stand in Revelation 12. I’m sorry that doesn’t fit your narrative but it does fit the Preterist view.

There are empty graves in Jerusalem but if I say that proves a resurrection nobody’s going to simply believe it because that’s circumstantial evidence. There are no other records of the Matthew 27:52-53 resurrection but we believe it happened because the Bible says so. It all comes down to how...

Is the Michael in Daniel 12 the same Michael in Revelation 12? If it is the same Michael then Revelation 12 is when Michael stands up.

A person can’t prove a negative. I can’t prove that there are no bodies of believers prior to 70AD. There always could be a body that has yet to be discovered. A person can prove a positive by presenting a body of a believer who died prior to 70AD. It might be difficult because a human body...

In Daniel 12:1-2 it says at that time shall Michael stand up, with a resurrection of some into everlasting life and some into everlasting contempt. In Revelation 12:7 Michael fights the dragon. Does Michael take a stand to fight the dragon at a future final coming of Christ? If the answer is...

Jesus most likely was talking about the Matthew 27:52-53 resurrection.

The proof is in the Bible. There are interpretations that cover all your questions, just like there are interpretations that explain Premill and Amill positions. The problem I see is that folks tend to say it should be obvious there was no coming in 70AD but then fail to present any physical...

How do you know the resurrection hasn’t happened yet? If you are using physical evidence as the reason then that needs to be presented. There is no physical evidence that Herod killed babies in Matthew 2:16, there is no written record of it other than the Bible. We believe it happened because...

In Daniel 12:1 it says at that time shall Michael stand up, or take a stand. In Revelation 12:7 Michael fights the dragon. When did or will Michael take a stand? It has to happen after the book of Daniel was written, right? And Michael has to take a stand to fight the dragon, right?

In Acts 24:15 there is a soon (<3195> mello) resurrection. I would say that is the resurrection that the Preterist are saying happened in 70AD.

Well, some people argue there was a resurrection in 70AD. Obviously there are dead bodies of believers in the graves today, but to disprove a 70AD resurrection I would think physical evidence of a believes body would shut down that argument.

Is there any physical evidence of dead believers before 70AD? We have evidence of unbelievers like mummies and such but I haven’t seen anyone present evidence of the remains of known believers. We have James’ ossuary but it’s empty.

Ok, thanks for the response. I think basically what you’re saying is a correct interpretation of the Bible only comes from God and our ability to believe that correct interpretation only comes from God. Since there probably aren’t two believers that agree 100% on every verse and no true...

What are your thoughts on how to spiritualize scripture? I think a majority of the Bible can be spiritualized, types, antitypes, metaphors, figures and so on. For example, Noah and the ark. I think most people would take that as a literal event that happened. Yet it is often seen as having a...
