A preterist believes what you have been defending for some 200 posts -- that the abomination of desolation is past, along with virtually all of Matthew 24 -- including the "coming of the Lord" in verse 30.
Jesus returned to build his temple,He returned as God coming to his people and that's what Malachi says will happen.
We have ample words in prophecy and scripture to know that. Where we differ is that I believe that Christ is on his throne today, has been for a couple thousand years and that the temple being rebuilt is Christ and his church, but apparently you think he needs a chair someplace in Jerusalem. If that were true then you really need to built on an addition to your house if he and the Father are come to dwell with you.
The new Jerusalem is Christ's people, there is plenty of scripture that tells you that, and in fact Augustine wrote a book called just that, The City of God.
From what I can see, some really have aproblem believing Christ when he said his kingdom was a spiritual kingdom, that he has returned and is building the temple, one lively stone at a time. Is there an end? Of course, and nobody knows when it will be. If we didn't believe that Christ was coming again, why then do we watch?.
Chipper, you are merely demonstrating yet again that you cannot exegete a simple text of Scripture. You do realize, do you not, that not every "coming of the Lord" means the second coming?
