Because the bible shows us that coming on the clouds is a sign of judgement

Isaiah 19:1
A prophecy against Egypt:

See, the Lord rides on a swift cloud
and is coming to Egypt.
The idols of Egypt tremble before him,
and the hearts of the Egyptians melt with fear



Once more So what do you think the Pharisees meant in John 12:19?
Probably what Nineveh felt when they saw Johna

Jesus coming in the clouds is just a sign in symbolic judgement, humans on earth really aren't seeing him

Somebody spiked the punch!

Matthew 24:30KJV
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.

Genesis 8:9KJV
9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
But in the next verse we see the dove found a place to rest.
Matthew 3:16 KJV
[16] And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

What do you think God meant with his words (The Face Of The Whole Earth)

Like 21:35KJV
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

Genesis 7:4KJV
4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

Genesis 8:9KJV
9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
Answer The mans question.

You can’t answer a question with a question. I already showed that the bible used the same word world to mean a certain area

It funny we agree on some topics and don’t agree on others LOL

Would your correct God manifest in the flesh, that answered untold questions with questions?

I follow the example of my Lord, and you will closely note you didnt answer my question below

Matthew and John state human eyes on this earth will witness the literal event seen, your symbolic allegory is a fairy tale

I cant believe that you deny the "Literal" second coming of Jesus Christ in the clouds is seen below, that's "Unbelievable"

Sad part is, you have been clearly shown several times and your in denial of the presented truth

The Preterist teaching has more holes in it than swiss cheese, dispensationalism's pre-trib rapture has more foundation and its a fairy tale also

Revelation 1:7KJV
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Matthew 24:30KJV
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.

Your claim is in absolute ignorance, several that post on this forum hold the Preterist position that's argued against in the OP, (Marty Fox) and (Iconoclast) being just two honorable mentions

You think Marty Fox is arguing against the Preterist 70AD fulfillment, big smiles!

What I observe is you deciding every fraction of what an other believes and rolling the others entire beliefs into a ONE word description you have decided and then Attacking them.

No one is obligated to follow You.
No one is obligated to crawl into your one word definition, because "you say so".

BE IT one in agreement with Peters teaching or in agreement Salvation from the Lord is given and received once and forever...who cares if you agree with Peter or how many times you think you have to be Saved, before the Lord gets it Right.

Or that there’s other meanings to them.

It was the worst time for Israel they lost there city and most of all there temple forever they knew that their God had turned His back on them and judged them. Out of 1.2 million people in the city during the siege only 97000 survived if the days weren’t shortened none would of survived.

It was the day of the Lords judgement on Israel for rejecting and killing their God and messiah. It wasn’t the rapture it was Jesus coming on the clouds in judgement and He saved His elect.

I really can’t believe that Jesus prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple within that generation and it actually happened and Christians deny that’s what Jesus prophesied it’s almost unbelievable.
You can spin facts, but not change facts.

I believe Jesus will appear in the clouds and gather His elect again. We don't know if there are any events to come surrounding Jerusalem that are not yet history, but I agree with your point.

Cutting prophetic scripture out of its historical context and pasting it into the end of this Age (whether done with Daniel 9:27b or with the Olivet Discourse) is what happens when we start with the belief that if y = 5, then x+x must equal 5, even if x = 2. (If x=2 and x+x=4, then there's something wrong with the formula).

Preterism claims, that the parallel teachings seen in Matthew chapter 24 & Luke chapter 21 have been fulfilled in the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem by Roman Armies?

Claims of 70AD fulfillment in Roman Soldiers And Jerusalem's destruction didnt come upon (All That Dwell Upon The Face Of The Whole Earth) as seen in Luke 21:35 below, Preterist claims of 70AD fulfillment are silenced in this fact alone


This represents the literal future second coming of Jesus Christ, that will be seen by (All That Dwell Upon The Earth), and Jerusalem's destruction in 70AD didnt fulfill Luke 21:35 as is clearly seen, this is a future event unfulfilled

Luke 21:34-36KJV
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
I'm not a Preterist and I believe it was the end of that Age during which the religious leaders of the Jews were the custodians of the Kingdom of God in the world. It happened as Jesus said it would in the Olivet Discourse, and it happened between Pentecost after He was crucified, intensified between A.D 66 and AD. 70, and culminated in the destruction of the temple in A.D70, fulfilling Daniel 9:24-27 (all of it), and the Lord's Olivet Discourse.

But Jesus will come again on the clouds to gather His elect and every eye will see Him as the lightening flashes from the East to West.
