But my memory has it that the Scripture about 100,000,000 million troops and the Scripture about horses are different Scriptures. I don't recall a Scripture about a 100,000,000 strong calvary.
I'm sorry you're perspective is so handicapped by being chained to symbolism for some strange reason. . . comfort?
The World population did not reach 1 billion people until the 19th century. A 100,000,000 man army (before the 19th century) would have represented more than one-TENTH of the entire population of Earth!!
The point I'm making is, the 100,000,000 man army spoken of in Revelation could not have even been realisticly POSSIBLE until today.
As you point out, the "entire world watching" aspect of the Revelation prophesies would have been physically impossible before the advent of satellite TV.
We are living in the End Times now. The preterist "theology" cannot hold up under even the most casual reading of Scripture.
The bigger question is, who started this bogus "all prophesies are past" viewpoint, and what was their MOTIVE for doing so? Was it to discourage people from studying the Book of Revelation? For what purpose? Who directly benefits from people NOT studying or taking seriously the Book of Revelation?
*LOL* Frankly I find my old dispensational pre-mill beliefs much more comfortable, but thanks for asking. :o)
