PRETERIST RAPTURE CHALLENGE
If you believe that the Rapture took place in 70 A.D. at the alleged Second Advent of YAHSHUA IMMANUEL YAHWEH of Nazareth the Mashiyach (a.k.a. Jesus Christ) please take this challenge. E-mail your answers to me -- heretichunter86@yahoo.com
What hermeneutical principle do you use to understand Scripture?
How do you determine whether something is symbolic or literal?
How do you know for certain what a symbol means?
Was every prophecy of the First Advent of YAHSHUA fulfilled in a literal manner?
If some of the prophecies of the Second Advent of YAHSHUA are fulfilled in a symbolic manner how do you know which are to be fulfilled symbolically and which are to be fulfilled literally?
Why would ALL of the prophecies of the First Advent be fulfilled literally and only some of the prophecies of the Second Advent be fulfilled literally?
Did the events of Revelation take place in chronological order?
Has anyone documented that those events took place in 70 A.D.?
Did the events of the Olivet Discourse take place in chronological order?
Has anyone documented that those events took place in 70 A.D.?
Is the temple of Revelation 11 be a future temple or the temple that was destroyed in 70 A.D.?
Were all nations of the world gathered against Jerusalem in 70 A.D. (Zech 14.2) or just the Romans?
Did nation rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom in 70 A.D. (Leviy 24.7)?
What was the abomination that makes desolate (Leviy 24.15)?
Was 70 A.D. truly a time of tribulation greater than any other time (Mk. 13.19), even World Wars I and II? Be honest now! Ask an historian what they think.
Were half of the residents of Jerusalem led captive into all the world in 70 A.D. before YAHSHUA returned (Zech. 14.2; Lk. 21.24; Rev. 11.2)?
How long did the "times of the nations" (gentiles) last (Lk. 21.24; Rev. 11.2)?
Did the nations control Jerusalem for 42 months (Rev. 11.2) before YAHSHUA returned?
If you think the nations controlled Jerusalem for 42 literal months before YAHSHUA returned and they took it in 70 A.D. it means YAHSHUA did not return until 73 A.D.
Isn't 70 A.D. the year that YAHSHUA allegedly returned and weird events were allegedly observed? How is this possible?
Did the disciples and their converts take the Gospel to every nation on Earth or just those in the Roman Empire before 70 A.D. (Markos 13.10)?
Was the Gospel preached before 70 A.D. in the British Isles, France (Gaul), parts of Germany, North Africa and Libya which were part of the Roman Empire? Find an historical account that verifies this.
Did the Apostles preach the Gospel in every city in Yisrael or in every city in Palestine (Leviy-Matt. 10.23)?
Didn't all Yisrael include the Anglo-Saxon nations at that time and did the Apostles preach the Gospel in all of those cities before 70 A.D.?
Did YAHSHUA execute all the elders (rulers/leaders) of the Jewish nation when He returned in 70 A.D. (Leviy-Matt. 21.33-46)? Please cite just one historical account that verifies every Jewish leader was executed in 70 A.D.
If just one Jewish leader escaped execution by YAHSHUA in 70 A.D. does that mean YAHSHUA blew it?
Isn't it true that hundreds of the leaders of the Jewish nation, including the Herodian family, survived 70 A.D.?
How many raptures are described in the Bible (Leviy-Matt. 24.31; I Kor. 15.51,52; I Thes. 4.16,17; Rev. 11.11,12; 14.15,16)?
Were the wicked raptured and if so where to (Lk. 17.34-37; Rev. 14.17-20)?
How near is near? (How many months or years is near?)
When did the Day of YAHWEH (Day of the Lord) take place?
Was the Day of YAHWEH near when Yahshua (Isaiah) said it was (Isaiah 13.6)?
Was the Day of YAHWEH near when Yechezqel (Ezekiel) said it was (Ezek. 30.3)?
Was the Day of YAHWEH near when Tsephaniah said it was (Zeph. 1.7,14)?
Will there be a day in the future when the bodies of believers are resurrected (I Kor. 15.51-54; I Thes. 4.16,17)?
Was the prophecy of Psalm 68.18 fulfilled before 70 A.D.?
Who were the seven kings (Rev. 17.9-11)?
Who was the sixth king (Rev. 17.10)?
Who was the other king (seventh) who had not come when Yochanan (John) wrote the revelation (Rev. 17.10)?
Who was the eighth king (Rev. 17.10)?
Who were the 10 kings who fought YAHSHUA (Rev. 17.12)?
Who was the Mother of Prostitutes (Rev. 17.5,16)?
What does it mean that the dead did not come to life until after the 1,000 years were completed (Rev. 20.5)?
How long is 1,000 years?
Did YAHSHUA explicitly tell His disciples they would not see His return (Lk. 17.22; Acts 1.6,7)?
When YAHSHUA said some of His disciples would see Him come in His glory (Leviy-Matt. 16.28) was that fulfilled on the Mount of Transfiguration (Leviy 17.1-8)? Remember, there are no chapter breaks in the original manuscripts.
Who is "this generation" that would see the events of the Tribulation (Leviy 24.34)?
Were they the generation of the First Century A.D. or will they be the generation in the future that sees these "all" things actually take place in a literal fashion?
Why did the Father wait until just four years (66 A.D.) before the Second Advent of YAHSHUA (70 A.D.) to give His Son the most detailed account ever of future events?
Is it true that most believers never saw that revelation and most who read it did so a few months or a year or two before the Second Advent due to the time it took to copy and distribute the revelation throughout the Roman Empire?
Isn't it extremely odd that the most detailed and important prophecy in the Bible was given to believers a mere four years before the return of YAHSHUA and few of them had the opportunity to read it?
Why was it given so late?
Are we living in the Eternal Kingdom with the Father and Son as They promised us (Rev. 21.3)?
Has YAHWEH Elohim wiped away all tears from our eyes and is there no more death, sorrow, crying and pain (Rev. 21.4)?
Is the preterist doctrine of eschatology fatally flawed?
If it is wrong in one point does it mean it cannot be the correct understanding?
