Mat 24

[anochria]

sorry to interject here, but this is in regards to Matthew 24.

Could someone please remind me what passage from the prophets regarding the destruction of the 1st Temple parallels Jesus' hyperbolic comment that there will be unequalled distress at the destruction of the 2nd temple (Matthew 24:21)? I don't have access to the info where I'm at, but could use it if anyone knows off hand.

Pmike,
I probably fit into an Amillennial/partial Preterist model, but the reason I can not adhere to the Full Preterist, is over the general resurrection of believers. Though I have read arguments over Paul's passage of 1 Corinthians 15:44, " It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body" by Full Preterist, I still find it hard to dismiss a bodily 2nd Coming of Jesus and believers as a whole, and totally spiritualize both in 70 A.D.. Acts 1:11, ""Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven." 1 Cor 15:49 says "so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven". So, what kind of resurrection body did Jesus have?We find it described:(Luke 24:37-43 NIV) They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. {38} He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? {39} Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have." {40} When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. {41} And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?" {42} They gave him a piece of broiled fish, {43} and he took it and ate it in their presence." It seems to me Jesus had a physical body and our resurrection bodies will be like His body (see also Phil.3:21). Yet, with what I have written, I know that the Full Preterist make a very good argument for their case, it is just that I am not convinced.

Hi Bubba,

What was your understanding of the full-preterist view of resurrection...I think there are three of them.

Thanks, Mellontes
