I wonder if, for example, during the time of the Black Plague or Napolean, some of the many Christians who thought they were signs of the end thought preterist Christians were “last days scoffers.”

I hope they didn’t because I believe that would be verging on bearing false witness against fellow believers.

The truth is Christ will return and there will be a new heaven and a new earth. That much the Bible tells us (Rev. 20).

BTW, I was reminded I should not have called you biblically “ignorant” because that’s personal. I should have just said you are biblically in error. I stand corrected and should not have lost my temper.

As for your remark about “preterists have nothing better to do,” I’ve been on the ping list because I agree with the position.

What’s your reason for being on these threads all the time?

I am curious to your rule of interpretation...Why is this verse literal, but the rest of Revelation a metaphor???

How do you know this verse isn't a metaphor???
