Friends,
Jesus SAID that ALL tribes of the earth will SEE the COMING of the Son of Man:
Preterists BELIEVE that Jesus CAME in 70 AD. Question: HOW MANY people SAW him COMING on the clouds?
When the DISCIPLES of Christ were looking steadfastly toward heaven as Jesus WENT up, two men stood by them in white apparel and SAID:
Preterists BELIEVE that Jesus CAME in 70 AD. Question: Did Jesus COME in LIKE manner as the disciples SAW him taken up into heaven?
Here are some additional TRUTHS about the SECOND coming of Christ:
2 Peter 3:10 - "But the DAY of the Lord will come like a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; BOTH the earth and the works that are in it will be BURNED up."
2 Thess. 1:7-10 - "...when the Lord Jesus is REVEALED from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire, taking vengeance on those who do NOT know God, and on those who do NOT obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
These shall be PUNISHED with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power, when he COMES in that DAY, to be glorified in his saints and to be admired among all those who believe..."
1 Thess. 4:16-17 - " For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead "IN Christ" will RISE first.
Then we who are ALIVE and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord."
Rev. 20:4-5 - "And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads and on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
But the rest of the dead did NOT live again UNTIL the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection."
Preterists BELIEVE that these pophecies have already been fulfilled in 70 AD. Question: Have the DEAD "in Christ" RISEN to meet Jesus in the air?
