Bible Note: Greetings Suede! Thanks for the response my friend! One of my primary concerns is accuracy in our statements about what Scripture says. So, I highlighted your '40' years remark. There are two problems with your statement. First of all, the term '40 years' is never used. While 'a generation' may refer to 40 years, Scripture never says '40 years'. Secondly, Mt. 24:34 refers to 'this generation', but which generation is He refering to? It could very well be the generation alive when the things mentioned occur. Whether we agree on our approach to eschatology or not, it simply isn't true that Christ said He would return within 40 years. :-) Finally, concerning Acts 1:9-11, verse 9 says that He went up 'before their eyes, and then the cloud hid Him. So, verse 11 must also be refering to a visible return since it says that He would return in the same way. So, I don't agree that the preterist position is in harmony with Acts 1:9-11.
