I expect so.
Ask away.
Would you likewise be ready to answer any Matt 24 and Revelation questions directed at you?
Here's one:
When Jesus said "when you see all these things, know that it is near, at the doors" (Matt 24:33) what did he mean by near? Near in Gods time or near in Human time?
In my experience, Futurists are never consistent about this.
We should back up to verse 4 but I'll spare you.
What did God mean when He told Adam that if he ate the forbidden fruit 'in that day' he would die?
Immediately after the tribulation of those days...
"Those days?" So what is the tribulatioon to you? Is it the time period betwee AD 33 and say AD100? Mathew was written around AD 70, or even AD 65 if you want. Preterist have changed that date otherwise they're debunked at the get go.
You're telling me that only Israel is the recipient of this tribulation in AD 70 and that's what the entire chapter as well as the book of Revelation is all about. The correct dating of the NT books debunks Preterism. It's obvious the book was written late. Even if the book was written in AD 65, it just makes no sense that God would have ONE New Testament Prophet, NOT TO MENTION ALL THE OTHERS, author a book that had only 5 years to be fulfilled AFTER it was written! That renders the the book itself, as well as several other chapters, as useless since it barely had time to be preached, copied, or distributed in any way that would amount to anything. The same goes with verse 14...
Mathew 24:14 And this
gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
It makes no sense to believe that the "gospel of the kingdom," only had about 5 years to be preached, let alone be a witness unto all nations. NOT to mention that in that preterist timeframe, ALL the evens of Mathew 24 and the book of Revelation take place. Absolutely absurd.
"The consumation of the age" and most of chapter 24 is the focus of Jesus' response to the question posed to him in verse 3!
....shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a
great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
The last trumpet sounds just days before the consummation of the age, the gathering and parousia happens and that is...
"the future visible return from heaven of Jesus, to raise the dead, hold the last judgment, and set up formally and gloriously the kingdom of God."
About the preaching of "the gospel of the kingdom" mentioned in Mathew 24:14
Planetpreterist says,
"Matthew, Mark, and Luke were all written before 70 A.D."
So the same goes for all the prophecies of those books. The Preterist view is that every prophecy in Mathew, Mark, and Luke, and the entire book of Revelation, not to mention very other prophecy both New and old testament, fulfilled in a spand of just a few years after they were written is beyond absurd. Does anyone else see a problem with that?
It's more endless than pre-trib and borderline anti-Christ because of it's deep state of denial. It's banned on some forums, and not something any Christian should believe in because like pre-trib it's so wrong it should be obvious as it denies hundreds of verses and entire books of prophecy. It's an abomination.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
My admonition???? "Learn a parable of the fig tree."
