“Scripture says Satan is the ruler of this age.”

Paul wrote that in the interregnum: the period between Christ’s resurrection and His judgment upon Jerusalem.

If all things written were fulfilled at that judgment, as Luke wrote, then Christ rules in this age, not Satan.

Christ rules in His church. Paul wrote that Christ is the head of His church. Head = ruler.

And please, let’s keep John’s words in context. He also wrote that they were living “in the last hour.” If they were living in the last hour, we cannot also be living in the last hour.

>>Paul wrote that in the interregnum: the period between Christ’s resurrection and His judgment upon Jerusalem.<<

Revelation was written around 96AD and he was writing about things that will come. When did "every eye" see Jesus coming? When did all those on earth marvel at the beast? When did the whole world see Jesus coming in the clouds? When did the whole world bow down to Him? Where is your "new heaven and new earth?

>>all things written were fulfilled<<

Why would you change the words of scripture like that? It says that all things will be fulfilled. It doesn't say they have already been fulfilled.

>>And please, let’s keep John’s words in context. He also wrote that they were living “in the last hour.”<<

I thought you said that what John wrote we hyperbole? Now you say parts are not? Who decides which are and which are not?

>>If they were living in the last hour, we cannot also be living in the last hour.<<

So you take that literally but not other parts? I suppose it is only you Preterists that will decide which is which?

Preterists have a huge problem with most of scripture and much of history. All of which proves them in error.
