The Early Church Rejected Preterism: The Big Problem for Preterists
Preterism believes that much of what the Bible prophesies about the coming of Christ was fulfilled in AD 70. But what did early Christians believe about the second coming? In this video, we analyze the Didache, one of the earliest Christian documents we have outside of Scripture. We discuss the Didache's teachings about the end times and how this is significant evidence against the preterist position.

Preterism and Revelation 11: What Does the Temple Reveal?

Does the mention of the temple in Revelation 11 prove that the Book of Revelation was written before AD 70? Preterists often point to the temple as key evidence for their view, claiming it supports a pre-AD 70 dating of Revelation.

      Well, I don’t necessarily disagree with your statement. The issue is that most preterists see Matthew 24 referring to AD 70 while the Didache sees it as referring to the future. That’s the real issue. Everyone agrees that AD 70 was Gods judgement. But I don’t think we should refer to it as a “coming” of Christ since Scripture reserves that language for something else.

No need to invent a fulfillment of prophecy to save Jesus. He will be just fine when it actually does come to pass.

    Very insightful. Interesting how no preterism showed up until around the 1600-1700s. That's pretty similar to argument preterists often use about dispensationalism being so supposedly recent. At least dispys do have early quotes of believers being rescued or removed from the tribulation. Preterists have the exact opposite. It's full of futurists. One would assume the early church fathers would all have been united in their preterism having lived through or shortly after the 70ad events. Fun idea for another video, explain how all the systems are actually pretty close in age to each other (all are post reformation systems), like covenant theology, dispensationalism, post millennialism, preterism, theonomy, historic premil, etc. I find it amazing how often the theonomist will criticize the dispys for being young and their system is noted for beginning in the 1800s.

    Tribulation had begun by the time that Jerusalem was surrounded by armies (per Matthew 24:15-21 and Luke 21:20-21) in 66-70 A.D., under Nero's first general persecution, however that tribulation (the persecution of Christians) has not yet ended. The understanding of tribulation is not correctly grasped by either the Preterist or Futurist view, as both were propagated by agents of the antichrist to hide his identity. It is only understood by the Historicist view which the antichrist sought to dismiss when he was revealed during the reformation.

      Yes, they did. But I also believe that the Temple Jesus was speaking of was the Temple Jesus had just told them would be destroyed. I don't think "consistent" interpretation allows that to be divorced from the immediate context of his statement. However, OT prophecy is replete with examples of events from Christ's 1st Coming and His return being blended together as one. It is not surprising Jesus would answer a two-part question in line with how the OT prophets saw the future. So where the text speaks of the Temple, it is speaking of the Temple immediately before them. When it speaks of cosmic signs, it is speaking of the end of the age. Which was not 70AD.

    Ooops, you made a big mistake right off the bat: Matthew 24 29 *Immediately after the tribulation* of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. The Great Throne Judgement is part of the Great Tribulation, which is under seal/trumpet/vial 6. Verse 29 says *”immediately after the Tribulation”.* This means verses 29, 30, and 31 are seal/trumpet/vial 7 which is the beginning of New Heavens and New Earth. *_You are trying to change the timeline of the Resurrection /Throne Judgement by putting it under Trumpet 7 when it actually occurred under trumpet 6._* Furthermore, Revelation 19 is also the beginnings of New Heaven and New Earth. Revelation 20 is a *synopsis* of prior fulfilled events.

      It is clear enough that the language in Matthew 24:29-31 mirrors that of Revelation 6 which describes the phenomena marking the 6th seal phase. This correspondence indicates that tribulation will end at that phase and that Christ's return will happen after that. The 7th trumpet of the 7th seal, in addition to being the marker just before which Christ returns to gather the saints, marks the beginning of the outpouring of the undiluted wrath of God in Revelation 16:1. The final judgement occurs after the millennium which itself transpires after the second coming.

    God bless anyone seeking the truth! It does not matter if Heiser is right or not it matters if the Bible is right. Looking at the overall picture you can see who is right. Stop reading from your own traditional interpretation and read it as it is written. This way we can be blessed. If we come with statements like : "this is what it means" probably we can have as many Judeo-Christian faiths as inhabitants on this earth. Read it as it is written, most and foremost , and when it can't apply this rule then apply to other rules that can give us light about the meaning. God is not a God of confusion but of clarity to give Salvation and wisdom to those who seek Him!

    AD70 was future to all the writings of Paul and the apostles. No, the Didache doesn’t have to be written prior to 70AD. In fact ithe text shows they used Pauline letters and Mathew etc to write the Didache. As in every other apocalypse text,(Isaiah etc) they used dramatic language to tell of the destruction of a people or a city. Imagine you could ask the 1st century believers, ‘if you are expecting the destruction of the Jewish system to be in the future, what then was the destruction in AD70.?’ You can’t throw out such devastation for your hope for some event over 2000 years in the future. The Kingdom comes without observation and Jesus said He goes to prepare a place that where He is you can come to be with Him. The whole idea of a physical future kingdom on earth is a deception to promote continual war and death

He has not yet returned. 70 AD was God telling Jesus to sit down and watch him just make his enemies his footstool, which he has been doing ever since. The olivet discourse and Revelation has been being continuously fulfilled ever since Jesus ascended. The disciples asked him multiple questions and his answers covered each of those questions, but his answers were not one lump thing that was going to be fulfilled in their eyes. People read the text as a lump instead of as an actual conversation in context.

    "Consistent" is probably the most important word in eschatology. Every Bible student should know how to spell it and apply it. Even if you start out a bit wrong, you will self correct over time. This program equipped me to answer a friend who is a preterist. I knew of the Didache, but didn't know those phrases. 👍

    How important might it be that some prophecy be about the House of Israel (lost after Assyrian captivity 722 BC never to return - yet) and the House of Judah (taken in Babylonian captivity 538 BC but did return after 70 yrs). No need for allegory. In other words does every mention of Israel mean Jewish or Jew when we know there were two houses, two kingdoms, and the two sticks would be united (yet future?)

      The idea that the entire world is literally going to behold a six-foot-tall man floating down in some clouds above a small hill outside of Jerusalem, a place that cannot be literally seen by 99.99999% of the world's inhabitants from their respective locations, is ridiculous. Futurist eschatology is refuted by the absurdity of futurist eschatology.

      @euston2216 The idea that someone could be born of a virgin is ridiculous, too. So is the idea that a person could be crucified by the Romans (who were experts in methods of execution), be confirmed dead and be buried, and then rise from the dead three days later. Yet the Bible states that all of these things are true. Do you believe what the Bible plainly teaches, or do you somehow elevate your intellect and ability to reason above the authority of God's Word?

    It’s sad that many believe Hamas is an organic Palestinian organization. Hamas is an IDF/Mossad creation, just like ISIS/Al-Quaeda are CIA/US creation. They are designed as psyop to justify US military force to pave the way for “the greater Israel project“ which we are currently witnessing today. It is controlled by the synagogue of Satan.

    I grew up in the dispy ocean. Didn’t even know there were options. But then I started reading the Bible and not just “studying” it. Next thing you know I just couldn’t believe Mathew 24 was talking about a different generation. For the first time I wondered how long dispensationalism had been around? I left dispy before landing on anything else. I’m still open to other eschatologies but Dispy is about as antichrist as I can imagine. All that to say, for the last year another thought about dispy had been eating at me, at first I thought nooo! But the more I read the more it seemed likely. Well this video really cemented it for me. That thought is that didpys are the modern day Judaizers. Unlike the original Judaizers trying to mix them you simply say they are both Gods plan and teach people to accept it. How similar are you to the Pharisees? Let me count the ways. 1. You both believe that Jesus would/will come defeat your enemies and establish an earthly kingdom. 2. You both believe your identity is what saves you. Of course you would deny that many of your adherents preach the gospel of the rapture rather than the real gospel. You tell people to join team Jesus so you don’t get left behind. Of course you tel them to be repentant and mean it but their motivation was clearly rapture insurance. Here is what else is interesting - because of this Jesus told the Pharisees the world was I. The bad shape it was because they were not properly discipling the world. IE culture is down stream from Christianity. So for 100+ years you guys have been saying just say this prayer and mean it in your heart and presto change your a Christian. Sound familiar to something downstream in our culture? Just because you’re a male in reality just believe it in your heart that you are female and presto chango you’re a female. One thing you didn’t address in this video was this- your teaching requires a 3rd temple. In part do the antichrist can do something so awful it makes God have to leave the temple. Please explain what on earth God would find more offensive than this temple? I can’t imagine a bigger middle finger to Jesus than a temple. And you actually think God will take up residence in it?

    • @williambillycraig1057
      @williambillycraig1057 20 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      One reason is that the Early Church Fathers took the Didache seriously. It was an important text in the early Christian community, a valued and respected document that shaped the practices and teachings of the early Church.

    • @carolberubee
      @carolberubee 20 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Worry? We're interested in what historical Christian documents have to say on a subject. It's another source of information that either seems to support or refute a particular doctrine. We can support our doctrine of futurism through Scripture alone, but those who hold to some form of preterism often use early church writings and other period documents to bolster their claims, so we are saying, "Not so fast. Have you thought about this from the Didache?"

    Another logical gap for preterists seems to be Luke's connection of Christ's ascension and return with clouds. The Greek seems to indicate that a cloud took him up and a way out of their sight, καὶ νεφέλη ὑπέλαβεν αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν. Later the angels told the apostles that Jesus would return in the same way he was taken up. That limits the return method of Christ to something literal and not figurative, as is interpreted by some. N.T. Wright's historical-critical approach to Paul's 1 Thessalonians 4 dialogue about being caught up into the clouds in the air as somehow being a mention of going out to meet the emperor also seems to miss these other details that Paul would have taught.
