“Prophecy often has dual fulfillment.”

Even if that were true, it’s not so in this case. Luke said the destruction of Jerusalem would fulfill “all that was written.”

The first 7 chapters of Revelation are about the persecution of the apostles and their churches. Chapters 8-20 are about the judgment and fall of Jerusalem. The “New Jerusalem” coming down from heaven is Christ’s church. Yeah, that’s us: Jews and Gentiles who believe in and follow Christ.

There is nothing left to be fulfilled because God’s plan for the redemption of mankind is complete.

The New Jerusalem is measured as 1500 miles on a side.

Where is that?

What a pathetic "new heaven and a new earth" Preterists think God constructed.
