What has this to do with what I wrote?
This whole parable is focused in on Israel’s inheritance. It shows that through their wanton and continuous rebellion they forfeited their original heritage. The kingdom of God is shown here to have been taken off Israel and given unto “other husbandmen.” In His summing up of His message, Christ predicts, in this vivid parable, the Jews rejection of Himself and His ultimate crucifixion. The new inheritors would be a fruit-bearing people possessing the necessary spiritual credentials. They would do what Israel refused to do, which was “reverence” God’s Son. This company would never be based upon or restricted to one nationality, color or geographical location – it would be international and trans-national, incorporating all the peoples of the world. There is no hint or inclination in this parable that the vineyard would then be given back to these Christ-rejecting husbandmen (representing the old physical economy that was restricted to natural Israel), but that it would be given to the whosoever believeth of all nations, including repentant Jews.
So you do believe the vineyard owner returned to destroy the wicked tenants or do you believe that still future?
Matthew 21:40-41 Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard RETURNS, what will he do to those tenants? “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and will rent out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him his share of the fruit at harvest time.”
Matthew 21:45 When the chief priests and Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew He was speaking about them.
Not so!
Why possibly would we would the largely Gentile New Testament Church (whom most of the NT letters were written to) be obsessed (like you) with the coming of Titus in AD70? It doesn't make sense! It is insane! It is wrong! The sacred text is rather obsessed with Jesus Christ. Preterists do not get that! Their posts are littered with AD70 quotes, depictions and rhetoric. It is another gospel. It is the gospel of the coming of Titus in AD7. It is a dangerous aberration from the Gospel of Christ.
Every promise the New Testament Church owns, every spiritual requirement it is meant to keep and every future hope it is meant to hold during the intra-Advent, is diverted away from Christ to Titus and his appearing in AD70. That is why every genuine Christian should run from this error.
Absolutely so, as your statement clearly shows your misunderstanding of partial preterism.
