One of the first points I heard made about this topic was that, if Yeshua is describing a world -ending event, what difference would running to the hills make? Another was about lightning being a local event. I had to drop all my preconceived notions about Jesus on a cloud coming down to destroy the planet. As soon as I was able to do that, and keep in mind the fact that he was talking to actual people who really lived in the first century, the meaning is clear as day.

The more I consider this (I don't even think it's up for debate at this point LOL) the more I can't help but wonder if certain (false) doctrines in modern Christianity were maliciously created in order to dissuade more people from accepting Christ for who He truly is, and historically/prophetically PROVED IT. The bitterness of realizing just how saturated almost EVERY church is with the doctrine of futurism is QUICKLY overcome with an even stronger conviction and appreciation that Christ is indeed Lord, not liar, nor lunatic.

Just a slight correction Jeff. The first legion of Roman soldiers that surrounded Jerusalem was sent by the Governor of Syria.

This so angered Emperor Nero who sent General Vespacian (who took with him his son, General Titus) to Judea to put a stop to the rebellion. He brought with him legions of Roman soldiers.

This is so compelling! Ironically I’m listening to a sermon from John MacArthur and he is preaching premillennialism. Both pastors I respect deeply and both bring compelling arguments. I would love to see a discussion between these two about Mathew 24. I’m leaning towards Jeff Durbin because it all makes sense what he’s saying but I still can’t make sense of the millennial reign being right now because Satan doesn’t seem bound in the abyss like Revelation declares.

[@sarahd5341]

Satan is bound. Scripture to back it up: “But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. Or how can someone enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12:28-29‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭10:17-19‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Satan had a change in status at the resurrection. God is plundering his house & gathering in the elect.

What say you?

[@joshuaborum4946]

John Doe I understand it was a parable, but that’s how Jesus communicated truth to his Disciples. It’s what he said. Revelation 20:4&5 talks about those who had been persecuted for Christ, raised and reigning with him....and some were not raised. In verses 11-15 the rest await the White Throne Judgement...where are they?

John Doe That doesn’t change anything I’ve said. Those who were persecuted for Christ are the ones Revelation says are raised. A persecuted Christian wrote that to Early Apostolic Christians being persecuted...who have been raised according to Revelation. The rest have not. So, You still didn’t answer my question, where are the ones who were not and await the White Thrown Judgement?

[@yodasoja2011]

@@JohnDoe-le8fy concerning the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man, plenty of things in parables can represent something else, but I do not know of a single parable that used made up things to relay a message. I.e. in the parable of the 10 Virgins in Matthew 25, the oil can be a metaphor for something (like justification) but oil is a real thing that is used to make the concept simpler. Jesus doesn't make up things for His parables, he uses real examples to illustrate a point. Likewise, I'd say unless you have really good reasons to the contrary, the idea of a real afterlife (Abraham's Bosom) was as real to the listeners of Jesus as oil and lamps were. If you disagree, can you give an example of a parable by Jesus that used non-real things? Or is this parable the only one?

[@UltraAwesomeSauce12]

Preterism is great if you ignore vast amounts of prophetic old and new testament teaching. I'll say this much, there is a lot of prophecy that is fulfilled in the preterist view. And this much is expected. Jesus' discourse applied not only to that generation but to the final generation as well. We actually have biblical prophecy that is partially fulfilled at one point in time, then completely fulfilled at a later time. These initial partial fulfillments are often small "tastes" of what the final prophetic fulfillment will be. A.good example of this: Scholars generally agree that the first reference of these prophecies is the Seleucid king Antiochus Epiphanes IV, who ruled Palestine from 175-64 B.C. Antiochus treated Israel with such violence and contempt that they rebelled against him. When he came to suppress the rebellion, his forces entered the temple, stopped the regular sacrifices, set up an idol of or altar for Zeus, and apparently offered swine there as a sacrifice. This is an abomination because it is idolatry, and it brings desolation because it defiles the holy place at the heart of Israel. This act was the abomination “of” desolation, the abomination “causing” desolation. This was prior to Jesus' arrival! Are we to assume that the prophecy of daniel was in direct reference to this specific incident? Absolutely! But this incident alone? Hardly. Going back to preterism, how can we ignore the vast amounts of prophecy describing the state of the world as a whole in the end times, prior to Christ's 1000 year reign? The one world government and religion, the beast system, the great deception, the persecution of the church on a world-wide scale There is quite a bit of symbolism in these prophecies, but some of the language is very blatant, and cannot be passed off as metaphorical.

[@coko3124]

Well said! I loved Pastor Jeff's teachings but he contradicted himself when he says (in another video) that there is no double fulfillment of prophecy concerning the antichrist and beast system but then in this video admitted that there is a double fulfillment of prophecy. It's not up to him to say what is and isn't double fulfillment or foreshadowing of prophecy. I wanted so badly to believe his pretorist story but when I unpacked it all and read between the lines and his ultra passionate way of gaslighting his congregation I was more than disappointed.

What a lot of people fail to realize and put together is that the beast system has two parts and it talks about the whore of Babylon ruling the beast system but then that will be thwarted by another in the beast system but only because they want to give the power to the antichrist. It is very clear to me that this power that will rise up and destroy the whore of Babylon is going to appear as a good guy But we know from scripture it is a ravenous wolf. So when the whore of Babylon is destroyed and everybody cheers if you don’t read the Scriptures or if it hasn’t been interpreted to you plainly by your pastor or whoever the Bible teacher but really you should be reading it on your own then you’re not going to notice that this is not a good guy. But I promise you so many religions will be fooled because their pastors and their teachers are really wolves in sheep clothing as Jesus said they would be.

Thank you so much for sharing! What is your take on the sacrificial system prophesied by Ezekiel that will unfold in our future, as well as all the other priestly roles of the Levites?

[@khaccanhle1930]

Read Hebrews. The very idea of doing sacrifices is like sacrificing Christ again and again, which shows the idea of, "Jesus didn't do enough, he is insufficient." Often in the Old Testament you hear that God "Took no pleasure in sacrifices." Simply put, rebuilding a temple requires sacrifices, and such sacrifices are blasphemy against his finished work. This is repeated many times in the NT, while the idea of a rebuilt Temple and Levitical system Are NO WHERE to be found in the NT.

[@thirdplace3973]

@@sarahd5341 The early church fathers said John was on Patmos during the reign of Domitian. This comes from Irenaeus, disciple of Polycarp who was the disciple of John. I don’t care about Roman eschatology derived from Origen 200 years after Irenaeus because he hated Jews and there was no nation of Israel or city of Jerusalem standing and he couldn’t harmonize the prophetic texts. Find better eschatology than recycled 1600 year old Roman Catholic AMillennialism the Reformers who also saw no literal Israel regathered one the land and Jerusalem rebuilt were too ignorant and lacking faith to challenge. The Bible says what it means.

Even caught Dr. White suggest in one debate a few weeks back suggest Revelation was written in 90 A.D....

@@mattbaldwin247 Thanks the info. Hearing partial preterism, is that like partially pregnant? Or as we know Christ said a little leaven leavens the entire lump. I'd be the first to agree a lot with end times eschatology can be tricky and hard to comprehend and none of us have the place to say what is right or wrong dogmatically. Just troubling when one might take a theological view that has major problem first with history and worse the Bible itself, just hard to see a partial view of a bad doctrine is any good. Never heard a preterist in any manor agree Revelation was written after Jerusalem's destruction for example all would say before 70A.D. We know John was not exiled to Patmos until 94 A.D.

[@coko3124]

Double fulfillment of prophecy. He even admitted that it was a thing. He denies that this can be double fulfillment of prophecy. What's crazy is the wicked are already moving towards everything the Book of Revelation talks about and people are still believing this preterist nonsense.

Interesting stuff. I would love to here how you think it ends for us, the church. God was cut off by non believing Jews, jesus was cut off by his death on the cross. Now we have the 3rd part of God, the Holy spirit. What is your thought on the Holy spirit being removed?

[@bps7333]

God was never and will ever be cut off. This is all his plan and he is in control of all things. Jesus was cut off by his death by not physically being on earth. The Holy Spirit is not removed. Consider these verses: Mark 13:19 and Daniel 12:1. Michael is the angel that protects God’s people. It appears as if when he stands we have trouble like never before or ever shall be. This is a time of great tribulation when satan makes war with the saints all the way through the wrath of God. No matter how hard it has been in our time or in the past could possibly equal that time to come. As for your question about how it will it end for the true believers.... beautifully!!!

GENUINE QUESTION: When Jeff speaks about the 70th week, the last 7 years, that 3 1/2 years into it, Christ is crucified. I can see that clear as day. However, he says that 3 1/2 years later, we get the events of Acts 10 where Peter has the vision for the Gentiles. I can't find any sources that teaches that the events in Acts 10 happen only 3 1/2 years after Christ's Resurrection. All of my sources teach that it happened between 5-7 years after Pentecost. Where are there sources that show that the events of Peter in Acts 10 happened 3 1/2 years after Christ's Resurrection?

[@BornAgainRN]

I thought the same thing. The events of Peter in Acts chapter 7 appear to be more than 3 1/2 years after the crucifixion. Plus, in Daniel chapter 9, it states that the Messiah would be cut off after the 62 weeks. This means it would end at His crucifixion not His baptism 3 to 3 1/2 years earlier. I would like more information when this took place with Peter in Acts chapter 10.
