If you must call me a preterist, so be it. The real replacement theology is dispensationalism, they say the Church is not God's eternal purpose, but the Jews. Dispensationalism replaces the church, Jesus' temple, His bride, the new man with an earthly Israel. My view is that the Church is a continuation of the true Israel...Who are true Israel? Those who have a contrite heart for God and trust in His Son's atonement. God always had one group of people, those who trust and obey Him.

Try Isaiah. it will be helpful and yes there will be people that live in these flesh bodies during the the reign of Christ, they will be given 100 years to accept Him as God is merciful. But at the end of the 1,000 year reign, satan will be loosed from the pit and will tempt man again. As God is righteous, so that no man can point the finger at Him and say that we were tempted but these were not and they will rise an army against Him and Jesus will make a short work and finally throw satan in the lake of fire. After that we are not told.

I was not jumping subjects.
I was showing how the bible constantly uses symbolism to show situations, especially in prophetic books such as Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Revelation.
Lucifer was a guardian cherubim angel who fell from heaven do to pride, the king of Tyre also fell do to pride. This was a comparison. When Lucifer fell the light of the morning star was no longer in him, becoming what we know as the serpent of old, Satan, or if you like a demon.
( 2 Corinthians 11:14 , And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. )
No king that has come, has stood in the temple claiming to be God. Not even in 70 AD.
If this is true, then they can't be "virgins" meaning pure...Jesus makes us pure as vigins when we put our trust and faith in him...He cleanses us white as snow. The 144,000 virgins doesn't mean sexual virgins, it means these people didn't worship other gods but the one true God....so they can't be atheists.

I know as far as salvation.
But God made promises to jews he did not make to gentiles or the church. And it is part of his plan. Romans 9 - 11 is a great showing of Gods plan through the ages.
It has always been Gods plan to Use Israel to prove to all nations he is the one true God. Due to Israels sin, he has not been able to do this. But he will fulfill his plan.
Why Israel? I do not know. I will ask him when I get there.

"He holds the correct gospel bro. Do not judge him"
Weak response
No ...... bookends does not hold the correct gospel
And I do not judge .... the Lord does by His scriptures
If you are attempting to witness to one you need to know that appeasement will not work with a replacement/preterist
Expressing the truth is the only way to break the chains .... there is no room for the soft sell
The Lord and His apostles did not appease, but made no compromises against the Lord's truth
Give the truth, direct evaluation, and tough love .... no beating around the bush
Especially when the one you want to reach is bound in deception by obvious false teaching
Circling the wagon train will not work
2 Timothy
4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

omg your joking right?
Why do we have to be like them? He believes salvation by grace through faith.
This is not a salvation issue, you people who make it one are not right.
Thanks, But i do not need your help. I have heard his testimony, and I have heard his gospel. and it is of God.
We may disagree on this topic. but our eternity does not depend on it.
Again, Do not be like some of them and judge someones gospel. Until you hear what their gospel is.
And I have decades studying this topic, and discussing it with people.
