I do both. These things are hard to understand.I am pre-millennial, pre-trib. Not because I listened to a prophecy teacher, but because I read my Bible.
2 Peter 3:14-17 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; 15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures. 17 You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked;
The Book of Revelation and all the other books of the Bible were written before AD 70. The Book of Revelation was written a few years before the great tribulation to prepare God's people to flee from Jerusalem before the wrath of God destroyed it in AD 70.Yes Jesus was indeed speaking about the future. The future generation that all things shall happen. It was well after 70AD that Jesus gave the Revelation of future events that coincide with what Jesus spoke of in Mat. capts 24-25, and he reiterated some and revealed more details to the apostle John while he was on the isle of Patmos.
Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John,
John was instructed to go and measure the temple. The temple was therefore still standing.
Revelation 11:1-2 Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, “Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there. 2 But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months.
The Roman armies did indeed siege the city for 42 months and destroyed the temple in AD 70.
Jesus specifically said "this generation," and he was referring to the generation of the people listening to him that day.Lk.21:32 is misinterpreted by preterists, ignoring that those things Jesus said would take place in the generation that would see it, but did not take place, as preterists claim, at the time of the destruction of the Jewish temple in 70AD.
Except for the blossoming of the fig tree (the return of the Jewish people to the land of Israel- 1948), those many endtime events that Jesus said will happen have not happened even yet. The generation that saw the return of the Jews to Israel, plus a second similar event when the Berlin Wall fell that released many Jews to also return to Israel.. This generation will see all of the prophetic events that Jesus taught
This sort of thing I already pointed out in my previous post but you have reposted the same eschatological errors to me.
That would be like trying to sell me a zircon when I already have a genuine diamond.
I disagree. The fulfillment of the seventieth week of the Seventy-weeks Prophecy of Daniel cannot be split into two different time periods.
I will keep in mind that you do not appreciate unsolicited book suggestions. I hope, then, that you will refrain from offering unsolicited book or article suggestions to others.Since you recommend to me a book when I have not in any way indicated that I'm interested in switching my eschatology, nor did I request a book recommendation.. I will return the sentiment and recommend to you eschatological teachings from pre-millennial endtime events prophecy teachers. Such as Bill Salus, Thomas Ice, Bill Koenig, Chuck Missler, etc. They have articles online plus they've published many books on the topic that you could chose from and purchase.
