“1) Interpret prophecies of the Bible as events which have already happened. 2) Daniel is interpreted as events that happened in the second century BC while Revelation is interpreted as events that happened in the first century AD. 3) Preterism holds that Ancient Israel finds its continuation or fulfillment in the Christian church at the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. <<<
>>>Please tell us what there is about it that doesn’t describe you?<<<
You do realize that is a Wikipedia definition and is subject to change, don't you? LOL!
Start with the first sentence. Then the second. I don't believe either of those is true; nor does Professor Mathison.
I do agree partly with the third; but I believe the Church (the New Covenant) began no later than the day of Pentecost (possibly before.) The original Christian Church was All Israel, and did not bring in the Gentiles until Cornelius (Acts chapter 10.) Their original mission was to seek out only the lost sheep of the house of Israel, aka the remnant, aka the "144,000." See Mat 15:24 and Mat 10:5-8, and include Mat 10:22-23, for the time frame on seeking the lost sheep.
Now, please tell us the difference between a futurist and a dispensationalist.
Thanks,

Like I said, smoke and mirrors. Have a good day, bye.
