I can't address these specifics because you're asking the wrong questions.
Well, no I'm really not asking the wrong questions. There is God-written prophecy in Scripture that has to be dealt with, even though those prophecies are a huge problem for preterists.
The facts are the facts, and the example I gave about the Antichrist are one of those facts that God said will happen that simply hasn't happened yet in the history of the world.
Now if you must ignore or discard Scripture to make your belief system work, then that certainly is your choice, but at least be honest about it. The fact is that the prophetic Scripture is there, and it's either God telling the truth about events that have never happened before which means they will sometime in the future, or it's God screwing up in not letting us know all of this happened already in 70AD.
Because, you know, there is nothing in Scripture that says that the events of Revelation happened in 70AD which means that that belief came from the mind of man and not from God.
Which, of course, is quite a conundrum for preterists.
Here is a link to the dead-tree edition of the same book I linked earlier. Remarkable is definitely the right word.
But that is simply an account of the Roman destruction of Jerusalem, not the events detailed in Revelation. Everybody already knows about the destruction of Jerusalem. That's no big deal. I can get hundreds of books about the Roman destruction of Jerusalem. I asked for a book that could tell me about, for example, Jesus throwing the Antichrist and the False Prophet in the Lake of Fire after a seven year Tribulation which I'm told by preterists happened in 70AD and which is nowhere to be found in Josephus' writings.
Oh well. Disappointed again. The only conclusion I can come to is that prophetic Scripture is just that - prophetic - and hasn't happened yet.
But look! The prophecies for Jesus' return are happening right now! What an exciting time to be alive!
Now if you must ignore or discard Scripture to make your belief system work, then that certainly is your choice, but at least be honest about it. The fact is that the prophetic Scripture is there, and it’s either God telling the truth about events that have never happened before which means they will sometime in the future, or it’s God screwing up in not letting us know all of this happened already in 70AD.
I haven’t observed them hereon being honest with themselves . . . much less with Scripture, with God and with the rest of us.
