Christ was not speaking to that generation, he was speaking about the generation mentioned in Zech.12:10, you know the one that weeps when it sees him, as does the rest of the 'kindreds of the earth'-which didn't happen in 70AD.
So, there is not 'cherry picking' going on, there is simply ignoring what the scripture clearly says by the preterists.
Zech. 13:9-
God seeks to destroy all of the nations that come to destroy Jerusalem, not just Rome.
See Rev.16:14-16 for details.
I wonder what Satan's reign would have been like?
DETROIT (AP) - Detroit police investigating injuries to a one-year-old boy say they found the skeletal remains of another baby who is the brother of the living child. The boys' parents, 24-year-old Nickella Reid and 27-year-old Joseph Miller, were arraigned Saturday on first- and second-degree child abuse charges for injuries to the child in fair condition at a hospital. Wayne County Assistant Prosecutor Assistant Prosecutor Maria Miller tells The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press the allegation is the child was severely abused. He suffered burns over one-third of his body. Police say Reid told investigators that Deante Miller died two years ago. Authorities say the couple burned him in a barbecue grill and hid what was left of the baby in the ceiling of a home.
“Christ was not speaking to that generation, he was speaking about the generation mentioned in Zech.12:10, you know the one that weeps when it sees him, as does the rest of the ‘kindreds of the earth’-which didn’t happen in 70AD.”
I understand that in this “it’s all about me generation” it would be hard for many to believe that. But Revelation is a letter written to the persecuted Christians at the time. Though Revelation is for us, it was not written to us.
Most of Revelation is a prophecy about the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple and the end of the Mosaic age. How dispensationalists can manage to interpret that as a victory for national Israel is nonsensical.
