This is all assumed under an idea of an "all at one time, all at one event, all at one event" eschaology. Full Preterism is Dispensationalism in reverse. The Dispensationalist has it "wholly future". The FP has is "all past". They are BOTH exactly alike. Two extremes. The truth is somewhere in the middle.

@samuelmfrost Sam, so nice to hear from you. Please tell what is that middle that leave prophecy unfulfilled and results in a "limbo" state for eschatology, which by definition is the "end" or fulfillment of something. If we have something in the "middle" of the end, we don't have an end but a "middle." Where is the "middletology" of the Bible, which is nothing but the "already but not yet." It sounds good, is popular with the masses, but is illogical and is itself extreme!

Im open to preterism , Im also open to history repeting itself.

[AllThingsFulfilled]

@jerryjamify Regarding the matter of history repeating itself, are you open to the recreation of the physical world? Are you open to a second Egyptian bondage and deliverance through the Red Sea? Are you opend to a second giving ot the Law of Moses? Are you open to a second coming of Jesus in the flesh to die for the sins of the world? Are you open to history (prophecy) repeating itself without end? Where does it stop?

[AllThingsFulfilled]

@jerryjamify Are you open to Jesus coming and dying again for the sins of the world in order to save us? That would be preterist fulfillment of the cross and a repetition of history. . Only problem is, it would contradict, the "hapax" once for all time death of Christ and made the "second" coming of parousia, the double-parousia, etc. Not a very pretty sight logically speaking.

[IamNOTlikeUnymore]

they asked Him for signs of His coming to be more specific and if u read Luke 21 u would know it hasnt happened yet

[AllThingsFulfilled]

Here is what we know about the Antichrist. The Bible says he had already come and it is by his presence in the first century, they knew that the last hour had arrived. (1 John 2:18-19). The mystery of iniquity was already at work, 2 Thess. 2:4-7). You are reading into the context by saying the generation in which the signs will be fulfilled. Why overlook the generation who heard Christ. That is what he meant by "this generation."

Debate your little asses off...your all out of your minds. James 3:1.

@AllThingsFulfilled It stops when god's rule is complete in all mankind. The sacrifice of Jesus and the forgiveness of sin was completed at calvery. But the history of mankids rule is still repeting itself, just look at the world today, compare the American empire to the the Roman Empire, the British empire, All great empires rise and fall because the heart of making has not been changed. God is still building up and tearing down great and small nations doing his work in mankind as a whole.

@AllThingsFulfilled "Stay with the context and read it as though you were sitting in the audience with Christ..."

Indeed. The above is required in order to understand the proper context. Before doing this, I was a pre-millennial dispensationalist. The latter requires vast amounts of elaborate and frankly silly conspiracy theories in order to maintain a belief in it.

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
