Oil and Terrorism

What does Oil and Terrorism have to do with world Peace or Bible Prophecy? The World's Economy is based on cheap and plentiful oil, and disruption of that source of energy will cause economic disaster. "Terrorism" is the name the Superior Military force uses to criminalize its weaker enemy. Terrorism and Oil depletion are causing fear among the worlds governments and people, and that is a fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Luke 21:25-26.

No, Jesus did NOT say "immediately after Jerusalem is sacked," THAT is an example of Preterist misinterpretation and falsification of Jesus' words. What Jesus said is, "Immediately after the tribulation of those days..." and this is a reference to the Abomination, vv 15-21. Contrary to the lie of Preterism, "The abomination" and the fall of Jerusalem are two different events. Titus did not stand in the Holy Place before destroying it. vv 15 "stand in the holy place." Preterism is a lie of Satan.

You are blind to how world events fit into End Time Prophecy. You deny that Peak Oil, ecological collapse, over population, wars in the mid-East and the invasion of Iraq, WW1, WW2, Nuclear weapons, Famine and Wold Climate Change, Modern Rome (EU) and many others. No you insist on remaining blind, and ridicule the News while you search ancient history to pervert to fit preterist doctrine. To believe that Jesus could did not give prophecy to TWO generations renders you delusional.

For more proof, the verse that talks about Jesus "coming on the clouds" says it happens IMMEDIATELY after Jerusalem's sacked. There is no debate about when. Get a copy of Josephus' Jewish Wars and read the account of it. It happened just like Jesus said. The point I'm making here is that your effective date-setting on Christ's return is destructive. It's based on a shaky interpretation, not the Bible itself.

It's absurd to say that I'm "blind" to what's happening in the world today. I know all about peak oil, ecological collapse, overpopulation, the likelihood of resource wars, Middle East unrest, etc. I just don't need to take what I know through observation and reason and try to warp the language of scripture to make Fox News sound like prophecy. The idea that "this generation" means anything other than Jesus' peers is absurd.

[GAMcClary]

How foolish, to believe that because someone who attempted to interpret prophecy has been wrong in the past, then everyone and anyone who interprets prophecy now and in the future will always be wrong. I told you I don't believe in any version of "Rapture" doctrine, and I'm not a "futurist" by any definition; so you're fighting your own straw man. Otherwise you want to blame Futurism for the world's ills while Preterism has blinded you to the reality of what is happening in the world today

[GAMcClary]

Preterism is a method of misinterpreting prophecy to make it meaningless. The TERM "this generation" has nothing to do with "baby boomers" which is the WW2 Generation's children. It is the preterist interpretation that Jesus meant "this generation" to be the generation He was speaking to, rather than the generation which sees the events He described. Those events about Jerusalem in AD 70 did come true, and those about the Beginning of Sorrows, Affliction and Abomination are and will come true.

[GAMcClary]

You may still be here when I am dead and gone, but that's not the point. The point is, that you prefer to believe the delusion that present human events have nothing to do with End Time Prophecy, and therefore you are blind to what is coming on this world. You are blind to the rise of the Modern Roman Empire. The return of God's People to Jerusalem is meaningless to you. The Delusions of Evolution and Geologic Gradualism blind you, nor can you see any relation to WW1, WW2 and a One World Church

[GAMcClary]

Yes, Luke is explicit in his description of Jerusalem's destruction; just as Matthew is explicit in his description of End Time events, and their sequence, in vv, 7-8, 9-13, 15-21 and 29-31. The prophecy of the Abomination in vv 15-21 do not describe the Destruction of Jerusalem as did Luke. That event has not yet been fulfilled. While both Mathew and Luke do describe events at the Return of the Lord, much of their description is about two different sequences of events separated by 1800 years

Also, we must remember that "by their fruits we will know them." Those who attempt to link Bible prophecy to current events have a horrible track record. The Rapture was not before 1988, for example - too bad for the Jesus Freaks in the '60s who dropped out of college to wait for it. Anti-environmentalism and a failed Middle East peace policy are future's fruit. What good has futurism brought to a single adherent - ever? Just a trail of wasted lives and broken hearts.

[xinosaj]

Finally, what you call "preterism" is simply the obvious reading of the text. There is no reason to suppose "this generation" refers to anyone other than Peter and John's cradle mates. Either Jesus' predictions came true as they were intended in 70 A.D., or they didn't come true at all, and you've wasted your life following a false messiah. Nothing in the Bible to say that "this generation" means the Baby Boomers just because they were watching Howdy Doody when Israel was re-formed.
