[snip] Gary DeMar, the president of American Vision, believes that the fullness of the Gentiles already came in 2,000 years ago... that Jesus Christ’s second advent occurred in A.D. 70... he also believes that the “great harlot” of Revelation 17 is the nation of Israel, which was divorced by God in A.D. 70. Whereas the “wife” of Revelation 19 is the Gospel church, which became married to Christ as the direct result of His putting away of Israel... Therefore, as Israel has been cast out by Jehovah, she may no longer look for any reconstitution of her national or religious privileges... if that isn’t replacement theology, I don’t know what is! Perhaps Joel McDurmon can explain whether he feels the same way. Does he agree that Israel was divorced and the church married in A.D. 70? If so, then he is a Replacement Theologian. There is no middle-ground on which he can stand. [unsnip]

The above #15 and also #16 are terrible indictments of preterism and replacement theology. Carried to their logical conclusion they would lead to pogroms against Jews.

I stand amazed at them.
