Who are the two witnesses?
I find that somebody's willingness to accept the pre-trib view is often an indirect statement on their fixation for prepping. There's no small amount of clinical paranoia going on with some of them too.Forgive my levity... it's just that I DO feel safer in here than 'out at large' since I posted that I think Daniel's 70th week already happenned -- that is not going over well with pre-tribbers as well as post-tribbers who think a future 70th week is "what we had better get ready for"
sigh
The wonderful thing about the Internet is that it gives everybody a voice.I am tired of all the end time prophets on here who think that the end of the word is nigh! They are two a penny!
Yes, I'm glad to see the yet-future utopian new heavens and new earth emphasized. The question, "If you die today will you go to heaven?" seems odd.the creation of a literal (rather than covenantal) New Heavens and a New Earth, free from the curse of sin and death

I am coming back to Partial Preterism.......This is not a Safe House -- it's a WAR ZONE.
I am interested in Partial Preterism, and thought in here I could learn of it without these flames.
Was I at least PARTIALLY correct?
Good info.Usually partial preterists are accepting of an 'early date' for the book of Revelation. I am now pondering (again) the work of Carston Thiede about earlier dates for the gospels than modern scholarship accepts.
In fact, I am wondering if there is not simply a GIANT SNOW-JOB by modern biblical scholarship regarding dating of NT books.
I can see the totality of the NT being written (in first form) PRIOR TO the 70 AD fall of the Temple. It is mind-boggling to me that ANY NT book would be written AFTER 70 AD with NO MENTION of the Temple destruction -- bear in mind that EVERY NT WRITER save Luke was a Jew
It is a giant snow job. Don’t know when John wrote the revelation but know exactly when he received it. During the reign of Rome's sixth emperor. (5 are fallen, one is..,) it’s hardly conceivable that he didn’t get to writing immediately since he was told to right the vision.Usually partial preterists are accepting of an 'early date' for the book of Revelation.
