I'm a partial preterist but being ignorant of history I don't know what happened to fulfill these chapters of prophecy.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hi smittymatt, The Gog/Magog event has not happened yet, but is close.
The evidence that it has not happened with that there is be a huge grave site for Gog's army. And there will be full time workers in Israel just for gathering up the corpses, that will take 7 months to complete. Ezekiel 39:11-12.

Not knowing what you mean, or even what a full preterist would be thinking, or what they say about any and all Scripture,
would you still hold to partial p if you discover some things that that direction includes that
you find to be contrary to all Scripture ?

History is not my cup of tea either, yet in this particular case there apparently is no history to be ignorant of since zero in the past explains the fulfillment of these 2 chapters. On another Christian board I used to be a member of, there was an unbelieving Jew that posted there a lot. He knew the Jews history extremely well. I recall asking him what his take on these 2 chapters were. He basically said it's some future war that hasn't happened yet. Apparently then, at least according to that particular Jew, Jews know nothing about the fulfillment of these 2 chapters in the past if they are taking it to mean a future war that hasn't been fulfilled yet.

The entirety of Ezekiel describes the period of the Babylonian captivity, beginning with God's judgement on Israel for idolatry, the wars of the Jews and Babylonians, the destruction of the city and the first temple, then finishes with the restoration of the city and temple and the return of the exiles. The story is told using prophetic language and allegory. The "dry bones" are the old Israel led into captivity, then the reconstitution of the new Israel that returned. For it to take seven years to clean up the dead bodies of the various wars of that time is hardly unusual. There would have been corpses littering the entire country and it would have taken a very long time to discover them all.
