    The folly of Preterism

    I can’t find it at this moment but perhaps later when do, I’ll share that with you. My head hurts some right now but consider. However think about this for a moment. When the Jewish people would go to the temple and sacrifice and go in once a year to the holy of Holies to give blood sacrifice...

    Was progressive, there are warnings before the final warning. That is good. A promise of returning, during the last days that was upon the great and dreadful day of the Lord.

    A FEW QUICK COMMENTS ON FULFILLMENT ESCHATOLOGY

    It’s up to you how you decide to interpret the text. Considering the audience and the writings to specific people in that day and age which they had lived in, were the ones whom are promised to see his return. Never does the text promise that I will see the return. That is why I believe people...

    The folly of Preterism

    My personal belief is that everyone will end up seeing Jesus at the end of life now today.

    They were the last evil generation that put up the Son of God for death. They were of Isreal. Which God made a covenant with. If they disobeyed they received no blessing but curses. But naturally you and me are evil anyway, @rwb, but what do you think Jesus really meant by this parable...

    A FEW QUICK COMMENTS ON FULFILLMENT ESCHATOLOGY

    I’m not sure why you added “you are running out of arguments?” There are not many arguments to be had when a person believes Jesus. But people decide to choose to believe what Jesus means and the important way to understand is actually going back into the four gospels and reading them all over...

    What is "Parousia"?

    Cool, David. I respect you as a human being in Christ Jesus; and not to worried about the second coming so you can simply just suggest that to others if you are lead by the Holy Spirit. There are a whole lot of people out there that sincerely believe that Jesus will come back now, today, in...

    Someone told me at a Taco Bell that Jesus would be coming back and it would be all because of Hilary Clinton getting into office here in America.

    So John there in revelation 6, is explaining to the churches what has been, and eventually what will be comes into play in revelation 21-22.

    A FEW QUICK COMMENTS ON FULFILLMENT ESCHATOLOGY

    Have you ever wondered if those clouds of heaven are believers who come in the name of the Son of God as being a sign of the Son of man in heaven? The only reason I ask, is because Jesus came in on a white horse, when Jesus came he was the light of the world. With him now in the world, Satan...
