Unfortunately, 70 AD was not the final fulfillment of the prophecy and you who are deceived therein need to search the Scriptures as Israel will be in the land of the original Israel as God works to bring in the Kingdom of Heaven for the 1000 year rule of Jesus Christ on the earth in Zion, He is re establishing Israel for the return of Jesus Christ to rule there as King of Kings and Lord of Lords and His plan can not be stopped by wars and politicians and false teachings, of which replacement theology is but one and God the Father will disannul. God says, man says, God always wins as He is Creator of all things visible and invisible. Known unto God are all His Works from the beginning. God is the Creator and Sustainor of all life, the angels in heaven and man on the earth, all souls are His, the soul that sins shall surely die.

Indeed. As far as I’m concerned, the easiest way to show these claims false is to simply note that the two resurrections of the dead, prophesied not only in Revelation, but by the apostles, and by Jesus, obviously haven’t happened, or we would not be here arguing about this.

The only way preterists can answer this, in my experience, is to claim that the events didn’t happen as the Bible predicted they would, but only happened in some “spiritual” sense that basically renders them meaningless, and falsifies the promises associated with them.

Jesus had to deal with people making similar arguments, so I’ll let His response answer these modern-day Sadducees:

“18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.

22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.

23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.”

Since we are not like “angels which are in heaven”, and we still marry, then according to Jesus, we have not been resurrected. Thus the two resurrections prophesied multiple times, both inside and outside Revelation, can not have taken place.
