Subject: when will jesus christ return |
Bible Note: Preterist Return? Hi. It has always been clear to me that the NT writers EXPECTED Jesus to return very soon. I have just thought that they were mistaken (seeing through the glass darkly) but that we are to live with the same view as they did: that Christ will come very soon. To ALWAYS live as if Christ is coming soon. I have never heard of your interpretation before. You are saying that Christ already did return? This makes my mind reel with questions: 1) Why wouldn't the NT writers have mentioned something about that? The canon wasn't set til later anyway. 2) And why didn't anything change upon his return (for Revelation and Thessalonians would certainly cause us to expect radical change)? 3) And -- if what you say is true -- what do we have to look forward to? |
