The biggest problem with Preterists is they keep the message John the Baptist Christ and the New Testament, in general, tide to the people they were repeatedly warning. Such as "When you see." or "who warned you to flee the wrath of God?" That word "You" was obviously directed to the ones they were speaking to. I confess I am one and my conscience will not allow me to read something into the text that is not there. Did any of them see what Daniel spoke about? Jesus told them to look for it.
Two arguments in favor of you are the AMAZING Book, ''Eye To Eye'' on attempts to
divide Israel....and the Dead Sea Scrolls, namely The Book Of Enoch.
Check out ''Alternaterealities7'' on YT too on The Nephilim...Amazing Biblical info.
Few realize the ''Beast'' is finally thrown into the pit IMMEDIATELY in Revelation, he is Judged swiftly, completely proving it wasn't Nero, the ''Beast'' is satan incarnate
OR a Nephilim BECAUSE this Humanoid is judged in a very VERY different way from ''Man'
Good message...I have been receiving a lot of messages with attachments supporting hyper-preterism on my Facebook account. I have been just ignoring to him. I think I'll post this video on my blog for the discernment of our readers.
A scripture that Preterists overlook has to do with Jesus saying that the Son of Man's return is in Matthew 24-37. Jesus said that it will be like the days of Noah, when they were giving and taking in Marriage. To who, you ask, THE FALLEN ANGELS!!! They are coming back!! It says in Revelation that Michael will kick Satan and his angels to earth. That didn't happen in 70 A.D.
This clearly has to be one of the worst tragedies in the history of the Christian church. Daniel was told to seal up the scroll until the appointed time of the end. On the contrary, in Revelation the appointed time had arrived for seals of the scrolls to be broken by the Lamb of God.
God's Word is what you've been avoiding. You are expressing a modern western view of what you read. Original audience relevance and the proper application of the time frame references is the key. The end of the Old Covenant age was to be within their generation. It was to be near, soon, and about to take place. It did in AD 70!
@promisesrkept Don't you see how flawed your thinking is? Jesus has not yet returned to reign on earth for 1,000 years. He is coming. Accept His truth from the word of God and stop trying to make God do what you want Him to do. Mount Olives is NOT split in two. The mark of the beast has never been implemented. The third Jewish temple is not yet built. Stop being a scoffer and lean on God's understanding, not your own. Jesus is coming soon. You need to get ready.
@promisesrkept The whole precepts of the "time statements" Preterists use is based on words such as "Nigh, Near, At Hand, Hasteth Greatly". The Day of the Lord, which is about the 2nd coming of Christ is spoken of in the Old and New Testament. All verses pertaining to the "Day of the Lord" use language such as, Near, Nigh, at Hand, Hasteth greatly, yet nobody is going to claim Jesus returned in the time of Ezekiel, or Joel. Clearly the Preterist premise is totally incorrect.
I suppose you also agree with Irenaeus when he says that Jesus was 50 years old when He was crucified? Read the book by Ken Gentry "Before Jerusalem Fell." If your mind has not been permanently closed you may learn something. John said very clearly that the time of fulfillment was shortly, near, and about to take place.
@coper11 Sorry, I only agree with God's word The Holy Bible, not any other man's. The bible says that with the Lord 1,000 years is like a day and 1 day like 1,000 years. So a couple of days in the Lord't time is not short enough for you? Get into God's word and stop relying on other men to guide you. Lean on God and stop relying on your own understanding. Jesus is coming soon. You need to prepare for that. God bless you.
@DarrellMyatt1963 "Sorry, I only agree with God's word The Holy Bible, not any other man's." Except when it suits your position... "Another thing that preterists try to say is the book was written earlier cause John is standing in the Temple. Preterists unanimously agree that when Ezekiel had a similar vision, there was NO temple standing. So that is actually another invalid reason for an earlier dating. I agree with Irenaeus, 95 to 96 AD writing."
It's really not that hard if you open your eyes. Read Matt 23:34-36. Then read Revelation 18:21-24. It fits perfectly, Babylon is Jerusalem. Mathew 24 is fulfilled. "this generation" HAS to be taken into context. English 101. Jesus was not talking to you or me. Have you read anything from Josephus? His account of the tribulation before the Temple was destroyed fits perfectly with Matthew 24 and Revelation. Have you seen any Christians fed to lions lately?? The Great Trib has passed us my friend.
@oldno74 When Jesus said 'this generation' look at what He had just said. He said the ones who see the things He was describing would see the return of the Son of Man. 'WHEN YOU SEE THESE THINGS'. No one had yet seen these things. Why would I read from any other work than the Holy Bible? I trust God's word, not man's. If the great trib has passed how come our history books are not filled with Jesus' 1,000 year reign on earth? How come Mt Olives is not split in 2? Who got raptured? IT IS COMING!!
@oldno74 Really, you need to open YOUR eyes to what lies just ahead. You may want to get right with our Lord and Savior as He is coming soon. Only a fool can't see the signs. Just like Jesus said in Matthew 16:3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? Look what is really happening in the world and try to claim these are not the end days!! Good luck.
@DarrellMyatt1963 How do you get right with Jesus? By screaming rapture to everyone??? You fool, you are waiting for something that won't happen while you could be living for Christ and loving your neighbor instead of trying to freak him out!! Have you studied history? Do you know what is was like in the first century and how much blood was spilled in the Jewish war with Rome? Do you know how many Christians were slaughtered? Makes today look like a circus. WAKE UP, it's not the end!!!!
@oldno74 You clearly have NOT studied history! Has Damascus EVER been destroyed in world history? NO!! Isaiah 17:1 prophesy is coming but according to you it has already happened. JESUS HAS NOT YET RETURNED! Get a clue and try reading God's word instead of thinking you know it all. The bible says to 'lean not on your own understanding' and that is just what you are doing! I am trying to open the eyes of people like you who have no clue of God's word. YOU WAKE UP! The end is near! READ THE BIBLE!
@DarrellMyatt1963 I am currently studying these things (Preterism and others) and seeking the truth of scripture which prompts my comments here. Every major bible commentary I can find declares that Damascus was indeed destroyed and Isaiah's prophecy was fulfilled by the Assyrian king, Tilgath-Pileser about 2-3 years after the prophecy. It is very clear that we, as the body of Christ, need to do some Berean work. Let's not wound each other with our dogma...but love one another.
@DarrellMyatt1963 Actually, Damascus has been destroyed in history...twice! According to the OT anyway. Do you have a better "secret" source for truth you would like to share? You sound very dogmatic in your accusations of "heresy" of those with a "preterist" eschaetology ? Why not attempt an understanding before so quick a judgement? I would welcome a dialogue lacking insults and antagonism? Don't you believe God honors honest dialogue? "Iron sharpens iron"..no?
@mikesglider I am not here to argue with anyone. Jesus has not come to reign on earth for 1,000 years yet so these prophecies are yet to come. Is Damascus still a city? YES! Therefore, that prophecy has not yet happened. I have studied the false doctrine of preterism for several years. It takes away the promise of Christ's return. That is not biblical. God bless you as you seek His Truth in Jesus name.
Of course the true preterist position includes the book of Revelation. It was written prior to AD 70 while the second temple was still standing. And, we interpret the time frame of the book literally. We literalize the bookend passages: Rev. 1:1-3 & 22:6-10. It's ironic that the futurist, who claim to be literalists, can't handle the normal, literal, meaning of these passages.
@promisesrkept Revelation was written in 95 AD. Anyone who claims differently only does so to justify their own opinion. There was no temple standing when John wrote this. It's ironic that preterists can't handle the REAL truth and like to make up their own.
@promisesrkept “We will not, however, incur the risk of pronouncing positively as to the name of Antichrist; for if it were necessary that his name should be distinctly revealed in this present time, it would have been announced by him who beheld the apocalyptic vision. For that was seen not very long time since, but almost in our day, towards the end of Domitian's reign” (written 180 AD).
@DarrellMyatt Another thing that preterists try to say is the book was written earlier cause John is standing in the Temple. Preterists unanimously agree that when Ezekiel had a similar vision, there was NO temple standing. So that is actually another invalid reason for an earlier dating. I agree with Irenaeus, 95 to 96 AD writing.
Like the vid, but your quoting prophesies that have not happened yet doesn't help the issue. All the Preterists I have debated with "spiritualize" those prophesies and make them allegorical, saying that they were fulfilled "spiritually" in 70 AD. I had to give up talking with them, because they refuse to believe the plain literal meaning of scripture.
@Browntm1 I hear you loud and clear. It is funny how they refuse to believe a literal passage as being literal when it clearly is. I mean, I could say that Noah's ark was not literal but a spiritual saving of God's chosen but that does not make it correct. Mt Olives will be split in two, that is literal. It has not yet happened. They just choose to believe their own version and ignore what the word of God really says. It is really sad for them as their view point takes away the coming Savior.
To be fair, I've never met a preterist who accepted Revelation, rejecting it on the basis that it was written at earliest CE 68 and most likely some point after that, it can't be truly divinely inspired apocalyptic writing. Since you're quoting exclusively Revelation here to counter the ideas, does that strike you a bit unconvincing? Kind of like a Muslim coming to you with passages from the Qu'ran telling you you're going to hell, quoting a book they don't accept as authoritative as evidence.
@ChocoboKillerKanyo There are many more prophetic books in the bible that have yet unfulfilled prophecy: Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Zechariah, Amos, Hosea, Malachi, and others. The koran is the work of the devil so it is not like that at all. Trust God's word and what it says and trust also in Jesus as He is the Savior of the world.
@DarrellMyatt1963 And many preterists believe Revelation to be the work of the devil, so regardless of what's accurate or not I'm just saying that if your target audience for this are preterists, which it seems to be, it's not going to get you anywhere to quote something which they do not accept as authoritative, just as you do not accept the Qu'ran as authoritative.
@ChocoboKillerKanyo Revelation was written in 95 AD by John the Disciple who walked and talked with Jesus. If they do not believe the word of God that should give you an idea of the root of the problem right there. They want to believe what they want to believe whether the word of God says differently or not. I for one will go with God's word over any man's word every time. God bless.
@DarrellMyatt1963 That's my point though, it was written after these people believe Jesus returned, and if they believe that the book was written after his return, they won't accept it as legitimate. As a Christian who actually has people listen to you, shouldn't you do what you can to convince people of Christianity? Part of that should include taking into account the mindset of those who disagree with you, because if you don't know what they think, you can't refute it adequately.
@ChocoboKillerKanyo I am doing the best I can to try to help people see the real truth. When Jesus told the parable of the sower, He told us there are 4 kinds of people in regards to God's word. The truth will be made known. Jesus IS coming back again and the whole world will tremble at His presence.
@DarrellMyatt1963 I'm not trying to be accusatory, I'm trying to help you out by pointing out an easily overlooked flaw in your refutation in relying mostly on a book that they don't accept. What Jesus said aside, it does help a lot to have an argument against a claim tailored properly to the claim itself. My suggestion is only this. That doesn't mean I don't think that Jesus is coming back, either, bro, I'm just trying to help you find the fertile ground for the message.
@oldno74 Revelation was written in 95 A.D. It was at the time that John was banished to the isle of Patmos for preaching the word of God. The temple had been destroyed over 25 years earlier so obviously, the temple was not there. This is a future event that has not yet happened. They are preparing to build the third Jewish temple even now and it will most likely be a part of the peace agreement coming up. Go to 'temple institute' dot com and look how close they are. Trust God's word.
This is a dangerous way to think and it is false and it is spreading too fast. Pease, all Christians and stop listening to false doctrin. Listen to Darryll and learn what is in the Word of God.
The bible teaches nothing about the destruction of our natural world today. The hebrew word is aion and from that word came the poor translation which was "world". The real translation is age and the bible was predicting the ending of the mosaic age into the coming of the new age with Christ. Jesus himself said tht he would return within the first century AD so he didnt then he would have misled us and Jesus doesnt do that. I highly recommend the book Christianity's Great Dilemma by Glenn L Hil
@101jakew Give me scripture and verse from the Holy Bible where Jesus said He would return in the first century. Stop kidding yourself man. Jesus has not yet returned or our history books would be FILLED with that info.
Preterism has merit. It appears illogical when the Bible is read as though freshly penned. But when you consider the age and audience of the ancient text, it begins to make sense. It is a shock to our worldview and premise at first, so most won't study it because it's uncomfortable. But I learned more about the Word of God by trying to prove this belief false, than any other Bible study in 14 years. The smoking gun for me was the Jewish feast day typology, and covenant types and anti-types.
Preterisim can be divided into 2 : Partial and Full Preterism. The dangerous is just Full. Partial Preterism is held by Calvin and Augustine. Partial preterism is the only sound theology based on the Bible.
@destroychineseempire Calvinism is a root source of a lot of modern preterism.... (funny how you should mention Augustine and Calvin together, since Calvin derived his teachings largely from Augustine...) Certainly there were some prophecies which were fulfilled in 70 AD, but to embrace more than minimal partial preterism is out of line.
@destroychineseempire it's also interesting to note that a lot of "reformed" churches are also A-Millennialists, which is also a popular Catholic teaching...
The problem is that futurism leads to 2nd chance theology hence the non biblical term "Rapture", and preterism leads to misinterpretation of future events. If you actually look at the bible, many things have been fulfilled and will be, so it's neither, it's plain and simple folks. Bible prophecy WILL BE FULFILLED, such as Jesus second coming, and Bible prophecy HAS been fulfilled such as Jesus Resurrection. Many instances point to pass and future events, not either or.
Um, this is the problem, Preterism & Futurism, read the bible how it is intended and stop the labels and and Ism's, even if Preterism doesn't teach all, it'll go one side majority, if futurism doesn't preach all it'll go the other side major, how about you LOOK AT THE BIBLE, read it's word and SEE IF what it says IS indeed future, past, present, not come to your own conclusion about the matter. The bible is the final authority, not man.
I have just met a Preterialist and he tried to tell me that the book of revelation happened in 70 AD. The book of Revelation which speaks of massive global catastrophe, the return of our Messiah, an end to death and sin, the dead in Christ being resurrected to live forever while those who are not written in the book of life are cast into the lake with Satan. I have honestly until today never heard of this group and it shocks me.
This guy misrepresents the preterist position. The position doesn't teach that ALL events in the Bible have been fulfilled like he's claiming. There is a different position called "Hyper-preterism", however as I've said, this is a different position from preterism. Study the position from those who believe it rather than from a dispensationalist.
@JohnO318 I don't misrepresent it, I bring it to light. I did not want to confuse people with 'partial preterist' 'hyper preterist' and 'full preterist'. They take away the hope of the soon return of Jesus which is false teaching. Why believe lies that go against the Holy Bible? Paul said 'if anyone is preaching to you a gospel other than Jesus may he be eternally condemned.' Christ is coming, you better get used to that fact. He has not done so yet so it is still in the future. Trust in Him.
So who is THE false prophet of the book of Revelation?
Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and THE FALSE PROPHET [are], and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Darrell: I see you're against Fulfilled Eschatology. Unfortunately, you use the term Preterist too generically; there is a major difference. I'm going to review some of your videos. I just learned of you today. Would you be open to a live debate with someone who believes in Fulfilled Eschatology?
@Eschatology101 I am not here to debate anyone. I am here to bring the truth of God's word to a world that so desperately needs it. Jesus told us the things that would happen prior to His return. There are other scriptures throughout the bible telling us other things that must happen before His return. We are seeing many of them happen now. Jesus will be coming back soon. I pray that you really know Him and don't just lean on your own understanding. God bless.
@DarrellMyatt1963 Then you leave me no choice but to make a video response to your misrepresentation of Fulfilled Eschatology. On a quick run-through last night, I noted 20 problems with your refutation of Fulfilled Eschatology; tonight I'll give it a more closer look and outline this up-coming video. Anyone can discredit something and hide behind closed doors. The "Christian" Religion is well known for calling someone a heretic, not allow them defense, and blackball them in the eyes of others.
@Eschatology101 Ok, just make sure you are clear when you show us when Jesus was reigning on earth for 1,000 years with no sin, no sickness, and no death as the bible says. Please don't take the easy way out and tell me how much of the bible is not literal at your own convenience to support your own ideaology. I am not religious, I am a follower of Jesus Christ, big difference. Be sure and explain why Mt Olivet is not yet split in 2 and tell us who the antichrist was and explain the mark. cont..
@DarrellMyatt1963 I always marvel at the blatant rejection of God's real truth when trying to tell me that Jesus has already come. Did God take the New Jerusalem back up into heaven then? How come the battle of Armaggedon is not in our history books? Was there a rapture already also? When did the Israelites use the enemies weapons for 7 years? When did the Euphrates river dry up? Pride and arrogance are very dangerous. Please do not use any other book except the Holy Bible to explain anything.
@DarrellMyatt1963 Standard Christian Debate: disguise a Polemic as Apologetic; which actually accomplishes little more than insulting your opponent, by misrepreseting their beliefs, presenting a logical fallacy, by building a strawman, and kncoking it over, simply by restating your own views. <<< This is not how you disprove your opposition. BTW Darrell, I think you confuse the definition of the word literal, it merely means ACTUAL, not necessitating physicality. God is literal, is he physical?
@Eschatology101 What good are you doing to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ with your constant arguing? What is your goal here? I am spreading the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ and you just want to argue? Seems like an antichrist spirit to me. Go spend your time telling others about Jesus and less time wanting to argue with one who is. God became physical when He took the form of Jesus Christ. I suppose you want to argue that as well. I will no longer respond to your arguments. GBU.
@DarrellMyatt1963 I happen to do a lot to advance the Gospel message of Christ. If you spent a little more time investigating people instead of shooting back knee jerk responses, you just might have learned that. Arguing? Where have I argued anything? I merely pointed out that you're simply misrepresenting the view of Fulfilled Eschatology, and asked you if you'd care to back up your false claims in a public debate. But as usual, you Futurists are too cowardice and his behind locked doors.
@Eschatology101 There you go with the name calling. Sorry, I am not a coward but thanks for resorting to that. My response is in the video. I back it up with the word of God. I don't have time to spend with every person who wants to debate the word of God. I did not make any false claims as Jesus has not yet returned. If He had, our history books would be filled with that info. I get 100's of comments, questions, and videos sent to me everyday. I simply can not respond to all of them.
@DarrellMyatt1963 I agree, in the very key Scripture regarding the Rapture, lost in meaning since the 3rd century, Paul urges us to oppose those who have wandered from the truth that peradventure God will give them repentance. I also have good evidence that preterists were in part behind the accusations that led to Paul's beheading. That should really get their dander up...
@Eschatology101 I am too busy telling others about my awesome Savior to stop and respond to all the nay-sayers and those who want to argue their own beliefs. Make your own video with your own beliefs. I will stand on mine and the word of God.
@Eschatology101 I'm happy to debate you. I can do it with 19 verses in the New Testament, the Torah, and the History. (And one hand tied behind my back.)
Don't let tradition blind you. The first reaction to Jesus already appearing in AD70 is usually a shaking of the head, 'what??' reaction, as was mine at first. But it all fits together if you can hang onto your seat and enjoy the ride, starting with "audience relevance," - who do the imminency verses pertain to? Then understand the nature of the Kingdom. Physical or spiritual? Then understand apocalyptic language is figurative, not literal. Then read the history of the War of the Jews (66-70AD)
Preterism makes a lot of sense and has merit.. The verse you gave is a good one about false teachings, but preterists don't deny the basic tenets of the faith - they seek to honor the Biblical time statements and other references to the end of the age (soon, near, at hand, in a little while, etc) The "we" and "you" and "us" that we read in the Bible is not those of us living today. Remember audience relevance. Also Luke 21:20-22 tells us when ALL prophecy would be fulfilled.
Great video and this is a new study for me. What do you think of the possiblity of Part Preterisam and not full. You use terms preterisam it seems like many full preterist but what is your thoughts on part preterisam. This is a very interesting toic and thanks for your thoughts and good video....
@donandshannon I know all about full and partial preterists. I did not want to confuse anyone with the differences between the two. I just wanted to make people aware of this dangerous theology. Partial preterists believe most bible prophecies have been fulfilled with a few still in the future.
I guess some Christians just can't seem to understand the sort of language used by Christ when speaking to a specific group of people. When Christ spoke of a "near future" judgement to a group of people in the Olivet Discourse, I fail to see how anybody who has professed to have read the Bible can look at that and come to a distant future conclusion.
@Preterism You said it yourself: 'I fail'. Jesus has not yet come. To think so would be incredibly stupid since the whole world would know about it now. He is coming. You better get ready. I guess some people don't get it when Jesus told the parable about the fig tree. He said the generation that sees the things He described would be the generation that would see the return of Christ. Learn to interpret parables. Jesus loves you but I don't have the patience He has. He is coming. GBU.
A GENERAL STATEMENT TO NO ONE PERSON IN PARTICULAR BUT ALL >>> The Most High deals with generations the way he will without any mans permision or confirmation as we learn from Eccl. 3:15 - "What is happening now has happened before, and what will happen in the future has happened before, because God makes the same things happen over and over again". (NLT) and you can read that passage in about 10 or more translations and they all give clarity .... shalom
@preteristaynrand You do realize how ignorant your statement is right? That verse is telling of what will happen in the future. It has NOT happened yet. Read 21:1 'no more sea.' We still have several seas and the new heaven and new earth have not yet appeared. How about Rev 21:4 'no more death, no crying, no sorrow.' Are we there yet?!? Obviously NOT!! Get a clue and get into God's word and ask for understanding as you read because clearly you are not understanding the Holy Bible.
James 5:8 - You, too, must be patient. Take courage, for the coming of the Lord is near.
Written nearly 2,000 years ago... I guess James was a false teacher / prophet and we can disregard his book... as he obviously didn't know what he was talking about. LOL
@LoveJesusNotReligion 2 Peter 3:8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. I guess a couple of days is not fast enough for you huh? So you think you know more than the brother of Jesus and Peter who was with Jesus? You are a fool!
@LoveJesusNotReligion Get thee behind me satan!! 2 Peter 3:3 speaks of people like you. 'Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.
@DarrellMyatt1963 You may be interested that the Scripture to debunk preterism is 2 Timothy 2:8-26. Look that Paul is fighting an early form of preterism in his time. He set up 27 opposites, and one has an implied opposite, the quote from Numbers 16:5. What is the opposite of disobedient men getting swallowed into the middle of the earth? The Rapture. Paul is using the Rapture to substantiate the Resurrection of Jesus to the Jews. There is more packed into 2 Timothy. Find me on FB. Let's talk.
@LoveJesusNotReligion I don't think you know the real Jesus as you claim. You sound like an antichrist and you keep bashing the bible and the words of God. Not all bible prophecies have come true as you believe. There are many yet to come and you will have your eyes opened finally when you see these things spoken of by Jesus and the prophets. May God bless you and guide you with HIS truth and may you quit leaning on your own understanding.
@episcopas Full preterists do. Partial preterists may not. I have studied this extensively, I know what I am talking about. Jesus has not yet returned. He will be coming back and very soon. The important key here is to be ready for that event. All bible prophecy will come to pass eventually and we are seeing the signs of many of them about to happen. God bless you.
@IWannabeJew A full preterist believes that all bible prophecies have already happened and they take away the promise of the second coming of Jesus Christ my Savior. Partial preterists believe that most prophecies have come true and some are yet to come in the future. Full believe that 70 AD was the complete fulfillment of all prophecies. They are clearly wrong and Jesus will be coming back very soon. People must prepare for this event in their hearts, their faith, and their houses. GBU.
@DarrellMyatt1963 If what you say about "Full Preterists" is true, it doesn't make much sense for a Christian, if you believe that the Apocalypse was written after 70 A.D. That would make it apocalyptic history, not prophecy.
@IWannabeJew Revelation was written in 90 AD!! A full 20 years after the destruction of Jerusalem. You are right. Preterism makes no sense whatsoever!!
@DarrellMyatt1963 Have you read Flavius Josephus' "The Wars of the Jews", written by a Jewish P.o.W. whose writings were sponspored by the same Roman Flavian family that destroyed the Temple?
@DarrellMyatt1963 You will really enjoy it. You should be able to find a copy of his Complete Works in any Christian bookstore, but you should read "The Wars of the Jews" first, because that is the one he wrote first, and its history deals more with the First Century.
Read it VERY CRITICALLY, understanding that the Romans sponsored and probably censored the writings. You will learn A LOT MORE about the numerous pagans mentioned in the Book of Acts.
It's important to view terms like "this age" and "last days" in the NT as the writers intended. They were referring to the last days of the Old Covenant which arrived in AD 70. The "age to come" is our age post AD 70.
both sides present excellent verses to support its side...obviously those verses arent the same ones...i believe after all this time examining that the last 2000 years have been continually fulfilling details from daniel and revelations and some are yet to come. its impossible for me, however, to believe its ALL yet to come, since the world has different time, seasonal festivals, days of worship, and names for g-d and messiah. that covers the beast list. lots more...some day.
You're clueless on your MAN MADE literal views. The bible is NOT translated by the mind of man. "we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; combining spiritual things with spiritual words" (Romans 3:4, Proverbs 3:5, Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:23, John 14:26, Luke 12:12, James 1:5-10, 1 Corinthians 2:12-17, 2 Peter 2:1, Matthew 7:15, 24:11, 24, Mark 13:22, Luke 6:26, 2 Peter 2:1, 1 John 4:1, 1 Timothy 6:3-5, 2 Timothy 4:1-4, Matthew 16:23, Matthew 22:28-30)
@tygew "For nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad." Luke 8:17 We will know when Jesus comes to take us home. What is important... We must all spread the gospel to all nations, kindreds and tongues then the end will come (Matt 24:14) Remember Jesus is coming to claim His bride without spot or blemish who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus Christ.
@crazydaisy08 No. Satan is bound after Armageddon when Jesus returns and establishes His kingdom on earth which will last for 1,000 years. During that time there will be no sin, no sickness, and no death. You can read all about it in Revelation. God bless.
You're wrong! Death is when DEATH & pain are no more. It's 'the end" spoke of in 1Cor15:20-26&Rev2:5,10,16,26. The return/parousia/presence of Jesus is NOT TO BE SEEN nor can anyone say here he is because Jesus is like light that is everywhere at once; from the east & even unto the west: "where two or more are gathered together - there He is in the midst" as SPIRIT! Jesus is God: 1Tim3:16,Isa9:6-7,Lk1:31-33,Gen1:1,Jn1:1-3,14, Rev1:7-8,12-18,2:7-8, 21:5-7,22:13,Jn14:1,6-11,26,4:24, Isa41:4
Your ignorance is astounding, Darrell, it really is. You haven't the first clue as to what you are talking about. But nevertheless, I thank you for the laugh. There's something extremely humorous about pompous arrogance combined with first-rate naiveté.
@ATLpirate Thanks for the name-calling and for judging me. Very Christian of you. I have studied this topic extensively and I know exactly what I am talking about thank you. This is a dangerous theology as it takes away the promise of the return of Jesus Christ. I know all about partial preterists and full preterists and I would thank you to spread the good news of Jesus Christ instead of opposing one who is! Just what are you doing to do God's work? Mocking those who are? May God bless you.
@DarrellMyatt1963 Brother, there is some sarcasm and condescending tone in the monologue. And it does seem that some of the info comes from Google and the "left behind series". I am not preterist, but new to learning about it, and there are some things that would be good to look into again, specifically all of the "these have not happened yet" items, let me know if you need the info, especially the references in your Bible about the Euphrates running dry.
@MELISSA84008 I think the RFID chip could be the instrument used to usher in the mark of the beast. It certainly fits the description and has the capability to track everyone and ensure cashless transactions. If our government comes out and tells us we all have to have this to have a job (buy or sell) then run for your life!! Don't take it no matter what or you will suffer the full fury of God's wrath. God bless you and protect you in Jesus name.
@DarrellMyatt1963 It's possible. But I would say that it is something to simply keep in mind but not to preach as a certainty. In the 80s, the churched I went to all preached that barcodes were coming soon - and the congregations wholeheartedly accepted it. Being from a bio-med background I can say that many SUPERIOR ideas are being played out in the near future. The RFID chip is not YET complex enough to accomplish a world tracking - but something similiar is on the horizon
First of all, due to the fact that I have not studied eschatology/futurism/preterism in depth as of yet, I do not presume to take a position regarding it. I am, however, currently studying. Too often, Christians sit in the pews and eat up whatever their pastor tells them instead of studying for themselves. But that's a different issue.
(Remaining characters are few. Therefore continuing in next post)
Um...I don't quite agree. You seem to be applying fundamentalist-level literalism to Revelation, a text that is highly symbolic. That alone shoots down many of your arguments. I'd elaborate but I only have so much space here. There are just so many things about this video that I find inaccurate. By the way, distinguish between partial and full preterism. Don't just lump it all together.
@ATLpirate When we see the signing of the confirmation of the covenant, there will be 7 years until the return of Jesus Christ. Barack Obama has said that if Israel and the PA have not reached a peace agreement by September or October of this year that he would force one upon them. This is the one of the few prophecies with a time stamp on it. The confirmation is a peace agreement with Israel that recognizes it's right to exist, it's borders, and the status of Jerusalem and the temple mount.
@DarrellMyatt1963 Just so you are aware. Do you know that the Catholic church shares similar view points on this issue? Remember.. No one knows the time but God. I would be wary...
If you had lived, say, in the year 995 AD, would you have said that Jesus was going to return soon? You would have. Would you have been correct? What does "soon" mean? Some things to think about.
@604jroe I suppose that all believers have watched and prayed for His return throughout history. However, never in the history of mankind could we have ever been able to track every person on earth with the mark of the beast like we can today. We are very close to the confirmation of the covenant and the rebuilding of the 3rd Jewish temple. These are all signs of Jesus' return. When the peace agreement is signed there will be 7 years until He returns. Is that 'soon' enough for you? R U ready?
Dispensationalism & Preterism are nothing more than the false "doctrines of men" that Christ warned us about. They are two sides of the same coin, and that coin offers all who take it an easy escape from the persecution that Christ warned His followers they would endure at the hands of the antichrist. If Satan cant have our souls, then his plan B is to leave the church unprepared, confused, and an ineffective wittness to those who will be seeking Christ in the end.
Thank you for putting this up, I recently did a video myself slamming the Jesuits and I brought out the issue of how they specifically propagated both Preterism and Futurism to downplay the Vatican's culpability in the heresies that are now running rampant in all of Christendom. Only a few of the early church fathers were preterists, and a minority was premillennial, but if you look at most of the early church leaders, they were all either Post-Millennial or Amillennial.
John did speak of it. He was shown a revelation that it would happen in the future. You should read the book of Revelation. Christ is coming!! Get your house ready.
dont they believe the anti christ was nero or titus or something lol preterism is false yet i wish it could be partially true cause futurism is scary but thats how it goes preterism is false praise God
yeah John also says in Revelation 11:1 "I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, 'Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and the count the worshippers there.' " Obviously the temple had not yet been destroyed. He would have vibrantly mentioned it as the temple was more important to them than we could ever imagine. Matt. 10:23 in line with Matt. 24:34 again backing that He was speaking to that generation. Daniel 12:11 well we dont make daily sacrifices any longer.
Actually, Revelation was written in 90 AD, 20 years AFTER the temple was destroyed by the Romans. How could he measure a temple that was not there? The Jews do still sacrifice. They had one on the temple mount last April. They have built an exact replica of the coming temple to begin training the priests in daily temple living. This includes daily sacrifice. Jesus has not yet returned so He could not have been speaking to the people in front of Him because that generation is gone. He is coming!!
Jesus did not say immediately. He said when you see these things happen (the things He had spoken of in the chapter) you will know the end is near. That generation (the one that sees these things happen) will not pass away until the return of Christ. Most people mistakenly think He was talking to the people in front of Him as being the generation that would see these things. He was not. You will see His return.
yeah alot of people mistake it because that IS who he was speaking to. A pastor doesnt stand in front his congregation to warn them and tell them of things that wait nvm they dont need to worry about because its for a future generation 2000+ years later. We'll never see eye to eye but i do have a deeper question. I'm full preterist and i view you as an amazing brother in Christ i only say we see some things differently. But nothing that changes our salvation. so why do you say dangerous theology
Because the belief that all prophecies have already happened takes away the hope of the soon return of Jesus Christ our Savior. He has NOT come back yet or else our history books would have been filled with that info. The antichrist has NOT been revealed, the mark of the beast has NOT been put in place, there has never been a one-world government ever in history. There has never been a time of 1,000 years of no sin, sickness, or death. Mt. Olives has not yet split in two. He is coming!! GBU!!
Yes I am well aware of your beliefs as I was once a futurist. What you have to understand is that preterism is NOT a whole theology. It's just eschatology. Taking away the hope does not make it evil or dangerous. Hope is a human emotion. What matters are spiritual gifts that Hes lavished upon us such as grace. Whether I end up being right or you do, if we both believe and serve God and have unshakeable faith, then we shall see each other in heaven. And that's the truth that matters.
Yeah man! When you get down to the core of Christianity, all eschatology differences can meet at the same middle ground which is the core of who we are in Christ and which is really the most important part. I do respect you and you did hit on some good points. I have enjoyed discussing the previous. Continue to stay in the Word, which I'm more than sure you will!
"Nip it in the bud"? Preterism has existed for centuries; even before the 17th century. Men living in the third century, such as Origin, were preterists.
Keep in mind, most people who are pretertists are not strict preterists. They are partial preterists, meaning they believe most of the prophesies have been fulfilled. So the fact that you pointed to a few questionably unfulfilled prophesies means nothing to the doctrine of partial preterism.
I am not denying scripture. God says a day for Him is like 1,000 years and 1,000 years like a day. So two days is not soon enough for you? If Jesus came already how come the Mount of Olives has not split in two already? You rely on scripture right? That one is very clear. It is literal so don't try to tell me it is symbolic because it is not. Who was the antichrist? What was the mark? When did the Euphrates dry up? There were no kings of the east in 70AD only Rome from the west. GBU.
So, the book of Revelation was written by God to God? Nonsense!
God was communicating to real people in the first century concerning near events. Why do you discount this?
I'd love to read any commentary that can explain the book of Revelation, or Zechariah for that matter, that takes everything literally. Impossible. You pick and choose what to take literally and figureatively.
The fact is, for one to understand the book of Revelation they must understand the Old Testament.
John wrote the book of Revelation. God was communicating to everyone on the earth, not just first century people. When has there ever been the technology on the earth to track every person everywhere at one time? In 70 AD? Of course not!! NOW? You better believe it! The mark of the beast will soon be imposed upon all people. Most of the prophecies in Revelation explain themselves later if you keep reading. God gives us clues as to what must happen before the return of Christ. You will soon see
I'll take John's word for who he was writing to. He wrote, "The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place" (Rev. 1:1).
You make John's book totally irrelevant to first century saints who received his message. Remember, we must establish context or folks like you can make Scripture say anything they want.
He told the church at Philadelphia, who was suffering persecution, that He was coming SOON (Rev. 3:11). You deny it!
I do not deny it!! I too believe He is coming soon! You take away the hope of the soon return of Christ with your point of view. You are the one who is teaching falsely that the apostle Paul warned us of. If Jesus had come and established His heavenly kingdom on earth for 1,000 years, our history books would be full of that info. As it is, not a peep. WAKE UP MAN!! Jesus is coming soon and you will miss the bus if you think it already happened. By the way, the 'dark ages' does not sound heavenly
This channel is dedicated to promoting the heavenly kingdom of Jesus Christ so unless you have something significant to add, I will not allow this arguing about your misconception of the interpretation of the word of God. God bless you and I pray that the truth will be made known to you. When you see the 3rd temple being built, the antichrist revealed, and the mark of the beast being implemented I pray that you will come to your senses and re-evaluate your opinion. Peace be upon you.
The only temple that is important is the one being built by the Lord. It is the third, true, eternal temple.
Eph. 2:19-22, "You are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit."
good vid. preterism sounds fishy to me.... nothing i would want to teach any1. to actually believe jesus already came is beyond ridiculous. because after the 2nd coming, it would be heaven on earth for ever and ever.
people still die from disease and get killed everyday. during his reign on earth, people will be able to walk up tp lions and tigers and bears and pet them without fear because they wont attack you. this world today doesnt seem like heaven on earth to me lol
Darrell--The type of preterism that you are talking about in this video is called 'Hyper-preterism' or 'Full Preterism'. This is an extreme of 'Orthodox Preterism' or ' Partial Preterism'. I commend you for your desire to expose unbiblical doctrines like hyper-preterism, but I would encourage you to not blur the lines of what is within the pale of orthodoxy and that which is unorthodox. Now you still might disagree with orthodox preterism...thats ok, but make sure you don't confuse the two.
Growing up I was to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved (Okay, I just dated myself using KJV) so when did salvation become an issue of whether or not you're a preterist or a futurist. I believe there are people who truly love Jesus on both sides of the issue.
People that believe all the prophecies have already happened, are taking away the hope of the return of Christ. God will pour out His spirit upon the whole earth and there will be a great revival before the return of Jesus. Jesus has not come again already or we would have known about it. Preterism is a false doctrine so I am just trying to open some people's eyes to real truth. God bless you and protect you in Jesus' name.
huh, is kjv considered outdated? i find the old english isn't all that hard to pick up and some of the other versions were made with some agenda or just go too far, something gets lost or added in the translation. i used to read the kjv with another version side by side to help, but after a while i just preferred the kjv and it got easy for me and i would get mad about some of the verses being so different. i'm not a purist but i really like kjv and my kids are picking up the old english too.
restraunt and orders something and the waiter says that the food will take only a second to make, and then it takes 5 minutes to make the food, and since the waiter said it would only take a second, he assumed that it was already at the table 4 minutes and 59 seconds ago, even though the food isn't phyically there
Hi Derrell, Thanks for the great video. Preterism is a false doctrine which is becoming more prevalent through proliferation on the web. As a former Preterist, I've dealt extensively these folks and their 'interpretations,' and can safely say that most of them are running. As a matter of fact, I can't get any of them to debate me on live air.
BTW, it's interesting to hear that you're from Keller. I live in Dallas. May the Lord bless you and your ministry!
i know u can read this, u never answered my questions, running scared. he he u must be very new at this, im a seasoned 16 year full preterist. i love the words of Christ. all fulfilled, in that generation.
You follow a misguided theology my friend. I work 3 jobs and do not spend my time arguing with those that have a twisted view of Jesus. I am trying to spread the word about His soon return. You take away the hope of the return of Jesus with your view. So, tell me when this world has seen 1,000 years with no war, no sickness, no sin, and no death. IT NEVER HAPPENED IN HUMAN HISTORY! Where is the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven with 12 foundations of precious jewels? Find truth.
when did the armies surround jerusalem? 66-70 AD when did they fled judea? 63-66 AD when did the temple fall ( not one stone left standing upon another ) AD 70 ( 9th of AV ) exact same day it fell 500 years before. did this all happen in that same generation? matt 24:34 seems Jesus is a true prophet
The bible says Jerusalem will be surrounded by all nations with Persia (Iran) and all other nations with them. It also says that it will be the kings of the east. Rome is west and that was the only army. Therefore it could not be the prophecies having already happened. The second temple was destroyed yes. But who was the anti-christ that caused the abomination of desolation? You would know his name if it happened already. The generation Jesus spoke of was the one that saw the end time events.
One of my really good friends is a pretialist (whatever the name is) and sent me documentation on his beliefs. When I read it I asked him WHY (if) this was true, there was no accounting that the Christ has already come back, and his answer was "Well, they didn't keep records that far back".. I'm like "OK Bert" THAT did it for me, and I used to be very close to him for years and since this happened a year ago we hardly speak anymore. I still love him, but I recognized it as false teachings.
It said when the signs of the second coming begins this generation shall not pass till all these be fulfilled. The other part was to be true until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Hi Darrell, I thought Jesus told His disciples and the Jewish religious leaders of that day that they would see the fulfillment of all that Jesus prophecied to them in their generation.Your saying those things Jesus said would happen did not happen yet >???
The biggest problem with Preterists is they keep the message John the Baptist Christ and the New Testament, in general, tide to the people they were repeatedly warning. Such as "When you see." or "who warned you to flee the wrath of God?" That word "You" was obviously directed to the ones they were speaking to. I confess I am one and my conscience will not allow me to read something into the text that is not there. Did any of them see what Daniel spoke about? Jesus told them to look for it.

Check out ''Alternaterealities7'' on YT too on The Nephilim...Amazing Biblical info.
Few realize the ''Beast'' is finally thrown into the pit IMMEDIATELY in Revelation, he is Judged swiftly, completely proving it wasn't Nero, the ''Beast'' is satan incarnate
OR a Nephilim BECAUSE this Humanoid is judged in a very VERY different way from ''Man'

A scripture that Preterists overlook has to do with Jesus saying that the Son of Man's return is in Matthew 24-37. Jesus said that it will be like the days of Noah, when they were giving and taking in Marriage. To who, you ask, THE FALLEN ANGELS!!! They are coming back!! It says in Revelation that Michael will kick Satan and his angels to earth. That didn't happen in 70 A.D.

This clearly has to be one of the worst tragedies in the history of the Christian church. Daniel was told to seal up the scroll until the appointed time of the end. On the contrary, in Revelation the appointed time had arrived for seals of the scrolls to be broken by the Lamb of God.

God's Word is what you've been avoiding. You are expressing a modern western view of what you read. Original audience relevance and the proper application of the time frame references is the key. The end of the Old Covenant age was to be within their generation. It was to be near, soon, and about to take place. It did in AD 70!

@promisesrkept Don't you see how flawed your thinking is? Jesus has not yet returned to reign on earth for 1,000 years. He is coming. Accept His truth from the word of God and stop trying to make God do what you want Him to do. Mount Olives is NOT split in two. The mark of the beast has never been implemented. The third Jewish temple is not yet built. Stop being a scoffer and lean on God's understanding, not your own. Jesus is coming soon. You need to get ready.
DarrellMyatt1963 7 months ago
@promisesrkept The whole precepts of the "time statements" Preterists use is based on words such as "Nigh, Near, At Hand, Hasteth Greatly". The Day of the Lord, which is about the 2nd coming of Christ is spoken of in the Old and New Testament. All verses pertaining to the "Day of the Lord" use language such as, Near, Nigh, at Hand, Hasteth greatly, yet nobody is going to claim Jesus returned in the time of Ezekiel, or Joel. Clearly the Preterist premise is totally incorrect.

I suppose you also agree with Irenaeus when he says that Jesus was 50 years old when He was crucified? Read the book by Ken Gentry "Before Jerusalem Fell." If your mind has not been permanently closed you may learn something. John said very clearly that the time of fulfillment was shortly, near, and about to take place.

@coper11 Sorry, I only agree with God's word The Holy Bible, not any other man's. The bible says that with the Lord 1,000 years is like a day and 1 day like 1,000 years. So a couple of days in the Lord't time is not short enough for you? Get into God's word and stop relying on other men to guide you. Lean on God and stop relying on your own understanding. Jesus is coming soon. You need to prepare for that. God bless you.

It's really not that hard if you open your eyes. Read Matt 23:34-36. Then read Revelation 18:21-24. It fits perfectly, Babylon is Jerusalem. Mathew 24 is fulfilled. "this generation" HAS to be taken into context. English 101. Jesus was not talking to you or me. Have you read anything from Josephus? His account of the tribulation before the Temple was destroyed fits perfectly with Matthew 24 and Revelation. Have you seen any Christians fed to lions lately?? The Great Trib has passed us my friend.

@oldno74 When Jesus said 'this generation' look at what He had just said. He said the ones who see the things He was describing would see the return of the Son of Man. 'WHEN YOU SEE THESE THINGS'. No one had yet seen these things. Why would I read from any other work than the Holy Bible? I trust God's word, not man's. If the great trib has passed how come our history books are not filled with Jesus' 1,000 year reign on earth? How come Mt Olives is not split in 2? Who got raptured? IT IS COMING!!

@DarrellMyatt1963 I am currently studying these things (Preterism and others) and seeking the truth of scripture which prompts my comments here. Every major bible commentary I can find declares that Damascus was indeed destroyed and Isaiah's prophecy was fulfilled by the Assyrian king, Tilgath-Pileser about 2-3 years after the prophecy. It is very clear that we, as the body of Christ, need to do some Berean work. Let's not wound each other with our dogma...but love one another.

@DarrellMyatt1963 Actually, Damascus has been destroyed in history...twice! According to the OT anyway. Do you have a better "secret" source for truth you would like to share? You sound very dogmatic in your accusations of "heresy" of those with a "preterist" eschaetology ? Why not attempt an understanding before so quick a judgement? I would welcome a dialogue lacking insults and antagonism? Don't you believe God honors honest dialogue? "Iron sharpens iron"..no?
mikesglider 1 week ago
@mikesglider I am not here to argue with anyone. Jesus has not come to reign on earth for 1,000 years yet so these prophecies are yet to come. Is Damascus still a city? YES! Therefore, that prophecy has not yet happened. I have studied the false doctrine of preterism for several years. It takes away the promise of Christ's return. That is not biblical. God bless you as you seek His Truth in Jesus name.
DarrellMyatt1963 1 week ago
Of course the true preterist position includes the book of Revelation. It was written prior to AD 70 while the second temple was still standing. And, we interpret the time frame of the book literally. We literalize the bookend passages: Rev. 1:1-3 & 22:6-10. It's ironic that the futurist, who claim to be literalists, can't handle the normal, literal, meaning of these passages.
promisesrkept 8 months ago
@promisesrkept Revelation was written in 95 AD. Anyone who claims differently only does so to justify their own opinion. There was no temple standing when John wrote this. It's ironic that preterists can't handle the REAL truth and like to make up their own.

@promisesrkept “We will not, however, incur the risk of pronouncing positively as to the name of Antichrist; for if it were necessary that his name should be distinctly revealed in this present time, it would have been announced by him who beheld the apocalyptic vision. For that was seen not very long time since, but almost in our day, towards the end of Domitian's reign” (written 180 AD).

Like the vid, but your quoting prophesies that have not happened yet doesn't help the issue. All the Preterists I have debated with "spiritualize" those prophesies and make them allegorical, saying that they were fulfilled "spiritually" in 70 AD. I had to give up talking with them, because they refuse to believe the plain literal meaning of scripture.
Browntm1 8 months ago
@Browntm1 I hear you loud and clear. It is funny how they refuse to believe a literal passage as being literal when it clearly is. I mean, I could say that Noah's ark was not literal but a spiritual saving of God's chosen but that does not make it correct. Mt Olives will be split in two, that is literal. It has not yet happened. They just choose to believe their own version and ignore what the word of God really says. It is really sad for them as their view point takes away the coming Savior.
DarrellMyatt1963 8 months ago
To be fair, I've never met a preterist who accepted Revelation, rejecting it on the basis that it was written at earliest CE 68 and most likely some point after that, it can't be truly divinely inspired apocalyptic writing. Since you're quoting exclusively Revelation here to counter the ideas, does that strike you a bit unconvincing? Kind of like a Muslim coming to you with passages from the Qu'ran telling you you're going to hell, quoting a book they don't accept as authoritative as evidence.

@ChocoboKillerKanyo There are many more prophetic books in the bible that have yet unfulfilled prophecy: Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Zechariah, Amos, Hosea, Malachi, and others.

DarrellMyatt1963 8 months ago
@DarrellMyatt1963 And many preterists believe Revelation to be the work of the devil, so regardless of what's accurate or not I'm just saying that if your target audience for this are preterists, which it seems to be, it's not going to get you anywhere to quote something which they do not accept as authoritative, just as you do not accept the Qu'ran as authoritative.

@ChocoboKillerKanyo Revelation was written in 95 AD by John the Disciple who walked and talked with Jesus. If they do not believe the word of God that should give you an idea of the root of the problem right there. They want to believe what they want to believe whether the word of God says differently or not. I for one will go with God's word over any man's word every time. God bless.
DarrellMyatt1963 8 months ago
@DarrellMyatt1963 That's my point though, it was written after these people believe Jesus returned, and if they believe that the book was written after his return, they won't accept it as legitimate. As a Christian who actually has people listen to you, shouldn't you do what you can to convince people of Christianity? Part of that should include taking into account the mindset of those who disagree with you, because if you don't know what they think, you can't refute it adequately.

@ChocoboKillerKanyo I am doing the best I can to try to help people see the real truth. When Jesus told the parable of the sower, He told us there are 4 kinds of people in regards to God's word. The truth will be made known. Jesus IS coming back again and the whole world will tremble at His presence.

@DarrellMyatt1963 I'm not trying to be accusatory, I'm trying to help you out by pointing out an easily overlooked flaw in your refutation in relying mostly on a book that they don't accept. What Jesus said aside, it does help a lot to have an argument against a claim tailored properly to the claim itself. My suggestion is only this. That doesn't mean I don't think that Jesus is coming back, either, bro, I'm just trying to help you find the fertile ground for the message.

@DarrellMyatt1963 No, Revelation was written before 70 A.D. How do you think John was to measure the Temple? The Temple was destroyed in 95A.D.
oldno74 8 months ago
@oldno74 Revelation was written in 95 A.D. It was at the time that John was banished to the isle of Patmos for preaching the word of God. The temple had been destroyed over 25 years earlier so obviously, the temple was not there. This is a future event that has not yet happened. They are preparing to build the third Jewish temple even now and it will most likely be a part of the peace agreement coming up. Go to 'temple institute' dot com and look how close they are. Trust God's word.

The bible teaches nothing about the destruction of our natural world today. The hebrew word is aion and from that word came the poor translation which was "world". The real translation is age and the bible was predicting the ending of the mosaic age into the coming of the new age with Christ. Jesus himself said tht he would return within the first century AD so he didnt then he would have misled us and Jesus doesnt do that. I highly recommend the book Christianity's Great Dilemma by Glenn L Hil

Preterism has merit. It appears illogical when the Bible is read as though freshly penned. But when you consider the age and audience of the ancient text, it begins to make sense. It is a shock to our worldview and premise at first, so most won't study it because it's uncomfortable. But I learned more about the Word of God by trying to prove this belief false, than any other Bible study in 14 years. The smoking gun for me was the Jewish feast day typology, and covenant types and anti-types.

Preterisim can be divided into 2 : Partial and Full Preterism. The dangerous is just Full. Partial Preterism is held by Calvin and Augustine. Partial preterism is the only sound theology based on the Bible.
destroychineseempire 9 months ago
@destroychineseempire Calvinism is a root source of a lot of modern preterism.... (funny how you should mention Augustine and Calvin together, since Calvin derived his teachings largely from Augustine...) Certainly there were some prophecies which were fulfilled in 70 AD, but to embrace more than minimal partial preterism is out of line.

The problem is that futurism leads to 2nd chance theology hence the non biblical term "Rapture", and preterism leads to misinterpretation of future events. If you actually look at the bible, many things have been fulfilled and will be, so it's neither, it's plain and simple folks. Bible prophecy WILL BE FULFILLED, such as Jesus second coming, and Bible prophecy HAS been fulfilled such as Jesus Resurrection. Many instances point to pass and future events, not either or.
Shadowlooker12 10 months ago
Um, this is the problem, Preterism & Futurism, read the bible how it is intended and stop the labels and and Ism's, even if Preterism doesn't teach all, it'll go one side majority, if futurism doesn't preach all it'll go the other side major, how about you LOOK AT THE BIBLE, read it's word and SEE IF what it says IS indeed future, past, present, not come to your own conclusion about the matter. The bible is the final authority, not man.

I have just met a Preterialist and he tried to tell me that the book of revelation happened in 70 AD. The book of Revelation which speaks of massive global catastrophe, the return of our Messiah, an end to death and sin, the dead in Christ being resurrected to live forever while those who are not written in the book of life are cast into the lake with Satan. I have honestly until today never heard of this group and it shocks me.

This guy misrepresents the preterist position. The position doesn't teach that ALL events in the Bible have been fulfilled like he's claiming. There is a different position called "Hyper-preterism", however as I've said, this is a different position from preterism. Study the position from those who believe it rather than from a dispensationalist.

@JohnO318 I don't misrepresent it, I bring it to light. I did not want to confuse people with 'partial preterist' 'hyper preterist' and 'full preterist'. They take away the hope of the soon return of Jesus which is false teaching. Why believe lies that go against the Holy Bible? Paul said 'if anyone is preaching to you a gospel other than Jesus may he be eternally condemned.' Christ is coming, you better get used to that fact. He has not done so yet so it is still in the future. Trust in Him.

@Eschatology101 I am not here to debate anyone. I am here to bring the truth of God's word to a world that so desperately needs it. Jesus told us the things that would happen prior to His return. There are other scriptures throughout the bible telling us other things that must happen before His return. We are seeing many of them happen now. Jesus will be coming back soon. I pray that you really know Him and don't just lean on your own understanding. God bless.

@DarrellMyatt1963 I always marvel at the blatant rejection of God's real truth when trying to tell me that Jesus has already come. Did God take the New Jerusalem back up into heaven then? How come the battle of Armaggedon is not in our history books? Was there a rapture already also? When did the Israelites use the enemies weapons for 7 years? When did the Euphrates river dry up? Pride and arrogance are very dangerous. Please do not use any other book except the Holy Bible to explain anything.

@DarrellMyatt1963 Standard Christian Debate: disguise a Polemic as Apologetic; which actually accomplishes little more than insulting your opponent, by misrepreseting their beliefs, presenting a logical fallacy, by building a strawman, and kncoking it over, simply by restating your own views. <<< This is not how you disprove your opposition. BTW Darrell, I think you confuse the definition of the word literal, it merely means ACTUAL, not necessitating physicality. God is literal, is he physical?

@Eschatology101 What good are you doing to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ with your constant arguing? What is your goal here?

Go spend your time telling others about Jesus and less time wanting to argue with one who is. God became physical when He took the form of Jesus Christ. I suppose you want to argue that as well. I will no longer respond to your arguments. GBU.

@Eschatology101 There you go with the name calling. Sorry, I am not a coward but thanks for resorting to that. My response is in the video. I back it up with the word of God.

If He had, our history books would be filled with that info. I get 100's of comments, questions, and videos sent to me everyday. I simply can not respond to all of them.
DarrellMyatt1963 1 year ago
@DarrellMyatt1963 I agree, in the very key Scripture regarding the Rapture, lost in meaning since the 3rd century, Paul urges us to oppose those who have wandered from the truth that peradventure God will give them repentance. I also have good evidence that preterists were in part behind the accusations that led to Paul's beheading. That should really get their dander up...

Don't let tradition blind you. The first reaction to Jesus already appearing in AD70 is usually a shaking of the head, 'what??' reaction, as was mine at first. But it all fits together if you can hang onto your seat and enjoy the ride, starting with "audience relevance," - who do the imminency verses pertain to? Then understand the nature of the Kingdom. Physical or spiritual? Then understand apocalyptic language is figurative, not literal. Then read the history of the War of the Jews (66-70AD)

Preterism makes a lot of sense and has merit.. The verse you gave is a good one about false teachings, but preterists don't deny the basic tenets of the faith - they seek to honor the Biblical time statements and other references to the end of the age (soon, near, at hand, in a little while, etc) The "we" and "you" and "us" that we read in the Bible is not those of us living today. Remember audience relevance. Also Luke 21:20-22 tells us when ALL prophecy would be fulfilled.

I guess some Christians just can't seem to understand the sort of language used by Christ when speaking to a specific group of people. When Christ spoke of a "near future" judgement to a group of people in the Olivet Discourse, I fail to see how anybody who has professed to have read the Bible can look at that and come to a distant future conclusion.

@DarrellMyatt1963 You may be interested that the Scripture to debunk preterism is 2 Timothy 2:8-26. Look that Paul is fighting an early form of preterism in his time. He set up 27 opposites, and one has an implied opposite, the quote from Numbers 16:5. What is the opposite of disobedient men getting swallowed into the middle of the earth? The Rapture. Paul is using the Rapture to substantiate the Resurrection of Jesus to the Jews. There is more packed into 2 Timothy. Find me on FB. Let's talk.

First of all, due to the fact that I have not studied eschatology/futurism/preterism in depth as of yet, I do not presume to take a position regarding it. I am, however, currently studying.

@ATLpirate When we see the signing of the confirmation of the covenant, there will be 7 years until the return of Jesus Christ. Barack Obama has said that if Israel and the PA have not reached a peace agreement by September or October of this year that he would force one upon them. This is the one of the few prophecies with a time stamp on it. The confirmation is a peace agreement with Israel that recognizes it's right to exist, it's borders, and the status of Jerusalem and the temple mount.

@604jroe I suppose that all believers have watched and prayed for His return throughout history. However, never in the history of mankind could we have ever been able to track every person on earth with the mark of the beast like we can today.

When the peace agreement is signed there will be 7 years until He returns. Is that 'soon' enough for you? R U ready?

Dispensationalism & Preterism are nothing more than the false "doctrines of men" that Christ warned us about. They are two sides of the same coin, and that coin offers all who take it an easy escape from the persecution that Christ warned His followers they would endure at the hands of the antichrist. If Satan cant have our souls, then his plan B is to leave the church unprepared, confused, and an ineffective wittness to those who will be seeking Christ in the end.

Only a few of the early church fathers were preterists, and a minority was premillennial, but if you look at most of the early church leaders, they were all either Post-Millennial or Amillennial.

Darrell,
I appreciate your searching the word.Having said that.when jesus is
said "These things shall come to pass
"emediatly. The language is in the
present perfect.Not future!.Also if the
book of revelation was written later AD 95
"Why did john not speak of it".

John did speak of it. He was shown a revelation that it would happen in the future. You should read the book of Revelation. Christ is coming!! Get your house ready.

dont they believe the anti christ was nero or titus or something lol preterism is false yet i wish it could be partially true cause futurism is scary but thats how it goes preterism is false praise God

yeah John also says in Revelation 11:1 "I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, 'Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and the count the worshippers there.' " Obviously the temple had not yet been destroyed. He would have vibrantly mentioned it as the temple was more important to them than we could ever imagine. Matt. 10:23 in line with Matt. 24:34 again backing that He was speaking to that generation. Daniel 12:11 well we dont make daily sacrifices any longer.
naawwce 2 years ago
Actually, Revelation was written in 90 AD, 20 years AFTER the temple was destroyed by the Romans. How could he measure a temple that was not there? The Jews do still sacrifice. They had one on the temple mount last April. They have built an exact replica of the coming temple to begin training the priests in daily temple living. This includes daily sacrifice. Jesus has not yet returned so He could not have been speaking to the people in front of Him because that generation is gone. He is coming!!
DarrellMyatt1963 2 years ago
Jesus did not say immediately. He said when you see these things happen (the things He had spoken of in the chapter) you will know the end is near. That generation (the one that sees these things happen) will not pass away until the return of Christ. Most people mistakenly think He was talking to the people in front of Him as being the generation that would see these things. He was not. You will see His return.
DarrellMyatt1963 2 years ago
yeah alot of people mistake it because that IS who he was speaking to. A pastor doesnt stand in front his congregation to warn them and tell them of things that wait nvm they dont need to worry about because its for a future generation 2000+ years later. We'll never see eye to eye but i do have a deeper question. I'm full preterist and i view you as an amazing brother in Christ i only say we see some things differently. But nothing that changes our salvation. so why do you say dangerous theology
naawwce 2 years ago
Because the belief that all prophecies have already happened takes away the hope of the soon return of Jesus Christ our Savior. He has NOT come back yet or else our history books would have been filled with that info. The antichrist has NOT been revealed, the mark of the beast has NOT been put in place, there has never been a one-world government ever in history. There has never been a time of 1,000 years of no sin, sickness, or death. Mt. Olives has not yet split in two. He is coming!! GBU!!
DarrellMyatt1963 2 years ago
Yes I am well aware of your beliefs as I was once a futurist. What you have to understand is that preterism is NOT a whole theology. It's just eschatology. Taking away the hope does not make it evil or dangerous. Hope is a human emotion. What matters are spiritual gifts that Hes lavished upon us such as grace. Whether I end up being right or you do, if we both believe and serve God and have unshakeable faith, then we shall see each other in heaven. And that's the truth that matters.
naawwce 2 years ago 2
Amen to your last statement bro. Jesus Christ is the ONLY truth that matters. God bless you.
DarrellMyatt1963 2 years ago
Yeah man! When you get down to the core of Christianity, all eschatology differences can meet at the same middle ground which is the core of who we are in Christ and which is really the most important part. I do respect you and you did hit on some good points. I have enjoyed discussing the previous. Continue to stay in the Word, which I'm more than sure you will!

"Nip it in the bud"? Preterism has existed for centuries; even before the 17th century. Men living in the third century, such as Origin, were preterists.
Keep in mind, most people who are pretertists are not strict preterists. They are partial preterists, meaning they believe most of the prophesies have been fulfilled. So the fact that you pointed to a few questionably unfulfilled prophesies means nothing to the doctrine of partial preterism.

The problem with your opinion is that it denies Scripture. You say, "It has not happened yet," over and over.
Why do you doubt God's Word to John? Rev. 1:1,3 clearly says that the words of this book would be fulfilled shortly, and near.
Then, Rev. 22:6,10 also show that God was informing those first century saints that the events of Rev. would take place soon, and near.
Please, no more denials of Scripture! I will take the inspired words of Scripture over those of ANY man.
coper11 2 years ago
I am not denying scripture. God says a day for Him is like 1,000 years and 1,000 years like a day. So two days is not soon enough for you? If Jesus came already how come the Mount of Olives has not split in two already? You rely on scripture right? That one is very clear. It is literal so don't try to tell me it is symbolic because it is not. Who was the antichrist? What was the mark? When did the Euphrates dry up? There were no kings of the east in 70AD only Rome from the west. GBU.
DarrellMyatt1963 2 years ago
So, the book of Revelation was written by God to God? Nonsense!
God was communicating to real people in the first century concerning near events. Why do you discount this?
I'd love to read any commentary that can explain the book of Revelation, or Zechariah for that matter, that takes everything literally. Impossible. You pick and choose what to take literally and figureatively.
The fact is, for one to understand the book of Revelation they must understand the Old Testament.
coper11 2 years ago 2
John wrote the book of Revelation. God was communicating to everyone on the earth, not just first century people. When has there ever been the technology on the earth to track every person everywhere at one time? In 70 AD? Of course not!! NOW? You better believe it! The mark of the beast will soon be imposed upon all people. Most of the prophecies in Revelation explain themselves later if you keep reading. God gives us clues as to what must happen before the return of Christ. You will soon see
DarrellMyatt1963 2 years ago
I'll take John's word for who he was writing to. He wrote, "The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place" (Rev. 1:1).
You make John's book totally irrelevant to first century saints who received his message. Remember, we must establish context or folks like you can make Scripture say anything they want.
He told the church at Philadelphia, who was suffering persecution, that He was coming SOON (Rev. 3:11). You deny it!
coper11 2 years ago 2
I do not deny it!! I too believe He is coming soon! You take away the hope of the soon return of Christ with your point of view. You are the one who is teaching falsely that the apostle Paul warned us of. If Jesus had come and established His heavenly kingdom on earth for 1,000 years, our history books would be full of that info. As it is, not a peep. WAKE UP MAN!! Jesus is coming soon and you will miss the bus if you think it already happened. By the way, the 'dark ages' does not sound heavenly
DarrellMyatt1963 2 years ago
This channel is dedicated to promoting the heavenly kingdom of Jesus Christ so unless you have something significant to add, I will not allow this arguing about your misconception of the interpretation of the word of God. God bless you and I pray that the truth will be made known to you. When you see the 3rd temple being built, the antichrist revealed, and the mark of the beast being implemented I pray that you will come to your senses and re-evaluate your opinion. Peace be upon you.
DarrellMyatt1963 2 years ago
The only temple that is important is the one being built by the Lord. It is the third, true, eternal temple.
Eph. 2:19-22, "You are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit."
coper11 2 years ago 2
Finally, we agree on something!! We will still see the third Jewish temple being built on the temple mount. Praise God and look to Jesus always!!

They have left the true teaching, saying that the rising from the dead has already
taken place, and so they are destroying the faith of some people. 2 Timothy 2:18

good vid. preterism sounds fishy to me.... nothing i would want to teach any1. to actually believe jesus already came is beyond ridiculous. because after the 2nd coming, it would be heaven on earth for ever and ever.
people still die from disease and get killed everyday. during his reign on earth, people will be able to walk up tp lions and tigers and bears and pet them without fear because they wont attack you. this world today doesnt seem like heaven on earth to me lol

Darrell--The type of preterism that you are talking about in this video is called 'Hyper-preterism' or 'Full Preterism'. This is an extreme of 'Orthodox Preterism' or ' Partial Preterism'. I commend you for your desire to expose unbiblical doctrines like hyper-preterism, but I would encourage you to not blur the lines of what is within the pale of orthodoxy and that which is unorthodox. Now you still might disagree with orthodox preterism...thats ok, but make sure you don't confuse the two.

Growing up I was to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved (Okay, I just dated myself using KJV) so when did salvation become an issue of whether or not you're a preterist or a futurist. I believe there are people who truly love Jesus on both sides of the issue.
logicpractitioner 2 years ago
People that believe all the prophecies have already happened, are taking away the hope of the return of Christ. God will pour out His spirit upon the whole earth and there will be a great revival before the return of Jesus. Jesus has not come again already or we would have known about it. Preterism is a false doctrine so I am just trying to open some people's eyes to real truth. God bless you and protect you in Jesus' name.
DarrellMyatt1963 2 years ago
huh, is kjv considered outdated? i find the old english isn't all that hard to pick up and some of the other versions were made with some agenda or just go too far, something gets lost or added in the translation. i used to read the kjv with another version side by side to help, but after a while i just preferred the kjv and it got easy for me and i would get mad about some of the verses being so different. i'm not a purist but i really like kjv and my kids are picking up the old english too.

Preterism is like a person who go's to a
restraunt and orders something and the waiter says that the food will take only a second to make, and then it takes 5 minutes to make the food, and since the waiter said it would only take a second, he assumed that it was already at the table 4 minutes and 59 seconds ago, even though the food isn't phyically there
( like the waiter said it would be )

Hi Derrell, Thanks for the great video. Preterism is a false doctrine which is becoming more prevalent through proliferation on the web. As a former Preterist, I've dealt extensively these folks and their 'interpretations,' and can safely say that most of them are running. As a matter of fact, I can't get any of them to debate me on live air.
BTW, it's interesting to hear that you're from Keller. I live in Dallas. May the Lord bless you and your ministry!

You follow a misguided theology my friend. I work 3 jobs and do not spend my time arguing with those that have a twisted view of Jesus. I am trying to spread the word about His soon return. You take away the hope of the return of Jesus with your view. So, tell me when this world has seen 1,000 years with no war, no sickness, no sin, and no death. IT NEVER HAPPENED IN HUMAN HISTORY! Where is the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven with 12 foundations of precious jewels? Find truth.
DarrellMyatt1963 2 years ago
when did the armies surround jerusalem? 66-70 AD when did they fled judea? 63-66 AD when did the temple fall ( not one stone left standing upon another ) AD 70 ( 9th of AV ) exact same day it fell 500 years before. did this all happen in that same generation? matt 24:34 seems Jesus is a true prophet
turtletype 2 years ago
The bible says Jerusalem will be surrounded by all nations with Persia (Iran) and all other nations with them. It also says that it will be the kings of the east. Rome is west and that was the only army. Therefore it could not be the prophecies having already happened. The second temple was destroyed yes. But who was the anti-christ that caused the abomination of desolation? You would know his name if it happened already. The generation Jesus spoke of was the one that saw the end time events.
DarrellMyatt1963 2 years ago
One of my really good friends is a pretialist (whatever the name is) and sent me documentation on his beliefs. When I read it I asked him WHY (if) this was true, there was no accounting that the Christ has already come back, and his answer was "Well, they didn't keep records that far back".. I'm like "OK Bert" THAT did it for me, and I used to be very close to him for years and since this happened a year ago we hardly speak anymore. I still love him, but I recognized it as false teachings.

It said when the signs of the second coming begins this generation shall not pass till all these be fulfilled. The other part was to be true until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

Hi Darrell, I thought Jesus told His disciples and the Jewish religious leaders of that day that they would see the fulfillment of all that Jesus prophecied to them in their generation.Your saying those things Jesus said would happen did not happen yet >???
