Frost continues to show that judgment is a mere past event revealed in his statement "We are living on this side of the judgment (after 70ad)." This continues to show natural thinking on the part of Preterists. Instead of judgment occurring within our heart of each man (which did not end in 70ad), Frost maintains judgment is really just historical event tied to 70ad. The natural events in Jerusalem's destruction is really the judgment that was reveal to John in the book of Revelation. Frost goes on to state that "death" "ruled over all souls" and assumes this was somehow overturned in 70ad. (Spiritual but temporal, right?). This proves how Universalistic Preterists really are. Now, in their view death is removed completely for "all souls" so really there is no longer any separation due to sin. Death is a mere past event. All are in a new age of life. His view that the ungodly are in the New Heavens and Earth but are simply outside the new Jerusalem is purely false. 2 Pet 3:13 maintains the New Heavens and Earth which is the Age to Come, is where righteousness dwell. Peter seems to omit that the unrighteous would survive the judgment or passing of the present heavens and earth. Jesus also seem to omit the fact that the ungodly would be found worthy to obtain that new age. Preterist continue to reinterpret scripture to prove their theories which are centered around 70ad, and have made natural events the substance of their supposed spiritual but temporal transitions from old to new things.
Sam Frost Article: Sheol/Hades: What is it?
I have written these things for some truths to chew on in your own studies. But, one thing must also be pointed out: the destruction of sheol/Hades. Revelation 20.14 states quite plainly that at the resurrection of the dead, hades is thrown into the lake of fire. The inhabitants of sheol are released, some to everlasting life, and others to eternal judgment. These are the “nations” that are spoken of in the Old Testament. God had gathered them together and he judged them before his throne. This was the “great judgment.” We are living on this side of the judgment. Now, one last nugget: Is 25.6-8, in the same context we have discussed above, looks forward to a day when “the death will be swallowed up in victory” (25.8). This is quoted by Paul in I Co 15.54. The “death” is clearly linked with sheol and the shades. The death ruled over these souls, all souls. Jesus, we Preterists affirm with the Bible, has destroyed the death entirely, and has raised out of sheol those who are his in his own body and made alive those on earth by his Spirit. Why make eschatology any more complicated than the simple good news that it is?
