How much scripture must they destroy to come up with Preterism fallacy???

Clearly not nearly to the same degree as the modern Dispensationalist who in their teachings proves a hatred of the Church and Doctrines of Redemption.

(It doesn't help your agenda when you have to lie to make your point - DeMar is not a full Preterist)

Lets look at your statement here:

"And Jesus will rule all nations with a rod of iron and put them under his feat (sic)..."

Here you insinuate something, but what is laughable is that you probably couldn't define "rule all nations with a rod of iron" in Biblical terms, rather you must eisegete your own personal values, mores and corrupted feelings into picturing in your mind what that means - then you judge another person based on the vanity of your own imagination.

Seriously, are you saying that for God to rule with a "rod of iron" there can't be any sin in His presence? Since the wages of sin is death (Ro 6:23) everyone would be instantly dead under a no-sin rule. If you say only certain sins will result in a beat down, then "rod of iron" simply means baseball bat to you and that God isn't Holy since He winks at some sin and goes postal on others. I don't see how you can apply legalistic explanations without blaspheming God or killing everyone in a nanosecond

"How then do we explain Iran and Afghanistan, or Sudan, or the U.S.A. for that matter???"

It seems that you don't understand the Gospel or even have any idea of who God is nor man's relationship to God else you wouldn't have made this statement with respect to the "rod of iron" claim. This is a common failing of the Dispensationalist - to ridicule and cheapen God, to belittle the Holy Spirit and elevate man in the same way Nimrod attempted to do. Did you know that there are Christians in all of those nations you listed? Do you feel that God had absolutely no control over who makes up those governments? (Rom 13:1; Jn 19:11; Ps 62:11)

Did you delete this passage from Revelation 1:5

"...and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth.

The passages you refer to are in Rv 2:27 (which references Ps 2), 12:5 and 19:15. In your allegiance to the sinfullness of Dispensationalism, you must deny that Jesus Christ is King (blasphemy) and that someday He will get a chance to temporarily rule over men (another blasphemy) because you say that for as long as Iran, Afghanistan, Sudan or the USA exists, then God must not be in control.

First, look at Rv 12:5

"She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne."

So why do you gratuitously delete the second phrase of this passage? Its in the past tense and it appears before Satan is cast out of Heaven and your Dispensational hermeneutic requires you to read Revelation in chronological order.

Revelation 19 is even more telling:

"Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God."

Isa 49:2, Eph 6:17 and Heb 4:12 says that the Word of God is the sword that proceeds from His mouth. Are you saying that the Gospel somehow hasn't been going out to all nations? No one is being saved? God doesn't appoint rulers? (Rom 13)

May I call your attention to Acts 4:23-31 and look closely at vv 25-26. Its quoting Ps 2:1-2 which is referenced in the Revelation. The Apostles, "filled with the Holy Spirit"(v31) believed and trusted completely in the fact that Jesus Christ was already reigning (vv 27-30) and requested (Ps 2:8) boldness and protection.

As anyone familiar with the Scriptures can plainly see, our LORD is presently reigning with a rod of iron. Based on your vanity and your standards God isn't and you call the Bible a lie because it doesn't fit your personal model. So what do you do? Trash the Bible and slander a man of God because he doesn't hold the Bible to the same level of contempt as the modern Dispensationalist.

Who again, is attempting to destroy Scripture?
