Thanks for your insight and for your tone of love and respect. I will certainly consider what you are saying. One question FNU LNU, are you a Preterist?
I am, but if you believe, as Jesus said, the things in Revelation were soon to come to pass, and the time was at hand (1.1, 3), and you believe Jesus’ quotation of Isa. 2 in Lk. 23 applied to the destruction of Jerusalem, instead of our present age, does that make you one?
And if you don’t believe what Jesus said in Rev. 1.1, 3 and Lk. 23, what does that make you? Surely something worse than a preterist!
