Preston continues to show how narrow minded he really is by refusing to SEE and HEAR. Both are required to discern the things of God. How can Preston possibly believe the historical events of 70AD is WHEN God judged all men? Did God judge all men in 70AD? NOOOOOOO! The very fact Preston maintains 70AD as the final act of God's judgment shows he can only stare at the shadows, with no ability so see beyond that. Preston shows how heretical and blind he is to look intently at things seen while that which is unseen goes unnoticed. How many times did Jesus use visible things to teach us about the unseen things, the eternal things.
Don Preston "“Were the events of AD 70 typological of the real end of the age, the real coming of the Lord, the real resurrection?” I deny that this is true . . . "
"Given the fact that no Old Testament prophet ever hinted that the events of AD 70 were to be typological of greater events beyond that event, it is additionally significant that no New Testament author ever stated that the events of AD 70 were typological! Let me reiterate: No New Testament author ever stated that the events of AD 70 were typological."
"As a direct corollary to this point, no New Testament writer ever compared the fall of Jerusalem with anything beyond it. They always compared it with events that were past. For instance,
Jesus compared His coming AD 70 parousia with the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37f), not with any event beyond AD 70. Likewise, he compared the days of Lot with his coming AD 70 parousia, but not with any event beyond AD 70. Since no New Testament author ever suggests, in any way, that what was happening or about to happen was typological of yet-future events, it is unjustified to create such a doctrine."
"It is illogical, and without any scriptural merit, to suggest that Christ’s AD 70 parousia was typological of a yet-future event, while denying that all the antecedent signs and precursors of that parousia are typological as well."
"The suggestion that it (AD 70) was but a type has no scriptural or logical support, and is therefore untenable."
