"Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." [Mt 24:29-31]
So then this "coming in the clouds with power and great glory" took place in 70 AD??? How come no one saw it or reported on it??? where did He go after this and what did He do with all the elect??? or did it just take place in the imaginations of the preterists???
And there are sola scripturists who would rather believe this fantasy than believe that that event is still yet future??? Get real --
No one is denying that Jesus will come again, and once again I have no idea what a “preterist” believes, I can only know what the bible says by intentional study. If any man lack wisdom let him ask the Lord for some.
Once again let’s note for the record it says "the sign of the son of man in heaven shall appear". It quite plainly does not say that that Jesus will physically appear anywhere.
I take it you have never read Josephus. The account of all that happened surrounding the sack of Jerusalem and destruciton of the temple in AD70.
Chipper, if you are satisfied with not being able to exegete a single passage of Scripture and not being able to compare Scripture with Scripture, that’s fine by me. You can get your eschatology from modern pop futurists if you wish.
But please do not pooh-pooh the preterist view when you are incapable of such exegetical work.
Your emperor still is not wearing any clothes.
