So then humanity goes on forever and ever?
I guess I just must have slept through all of the incidents noted in Revelation and missed ‘em. Ah, well...
I don’t see any wolves eating grass yet.
OBJECTION #6: Your interpretation just “spiritualizes” any event that is clearly prophesied that could not have taken place already. The first resurrection, for example, is prophesied many times to accompany the Second Coming. This is a resurrection of ALL believers, living and dead, in which they receive new bodies and then go to reign alongside Christ.
If you argue the Second Coming has happened, you would also have to argue this first resurrection has happened, but it is obvious to any observer that living Christians are still here, in our plain old bodies, and we are not reigning over anything. At that point your only choice is to try to twist the language of Scripture so you can pretend that the words mean something completely different that you can argue might have already happened.
This is a major sign that any method of interpretation is flawed. If it leads to inconsistencies that you have to go to lengths to try to reconcile, then it’s always a bad method, not a good one, because the Word of God is not creating those inconsistencies, so the fault can only lie in the interpretation.
I am of the opinion that all prophecy in the Bible will be fulfilled prior to the Lords return. The burden of Damascus (Isaiah 17:1)has not yet been fully executed. Close and unfolding now, but not yet completed.
Preterist poppycock.
Acts 1:9-11 (NIV):
9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.
10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”
1 Thess. 4:16-18 (NIV):
16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
2 Thess. 2:1-12 (NIV):
2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

As if all the outright lies and propaganda of the Democrats going on at the present time isn’t bad enough, enter the equally asinine preterists.
