A History of Evil: Jesus Christ is the difference!!! NOT 70AD!!!
It is delusional to say the least, that the problem of evil is solved and or overcome through historical events. This is asserted throughout the teachings of Hyper-Preterism. It is a fact that history can not bring you closer to God. It can teach you, guide you, and reveal things to you, but it can not SAVE you or redeem you. It is a
schoolmaster
from
alpha to omega
, a
shadow
from
introduction to conclusion
, a
pattern
from
beginning to end
; pointing to hidden and unseen things from above. REPEAT THIS TO YOURSELF SEVERAL TIMES. "You were not saved in 70AD, nor where you were not redeemed in 70AD. A historical line did not usher in the age to come, the new Jerusalem, the new heavens and earth, or eternal kingdom." NOW TAKE SEVERAL DEEP BREATHES.
Instead of focusing on horizontal dualism (ie Hyper-Preterism) which believes evil is overcome by a historical line, why not rather believe that Jesus Christ makes the difference. He is the eternal line which solves the problem with evil. This world is evil, and will always be evil. It is the nature of the beast. It is the nature of man who is the beast. Knowing and believing in him is was, who is, and who is to come, allows us to have faith in him who is overcoming and putting all enemies underfoot. Including the evil within us. The fact is the problem of sin and evil is not solved by 70AD, but is solved by allowing Christ and his light to shine on our darkness
.
Light is not subject to time or history. See Einstein. We may see it, discern it, and try to measure it but it will never be constant or absolute as hyper-preterism tries to make it.
