Preterism = past. The End Times with the tribulation, the second coming of Christ, the big bad guy with the “the” Antichrist has already happened around 70 AD during the Destruction of the Temple by Titus. A lot of futurists = future are left predicting random calendar dates for Christ’s Second Coming, even though it’s already happened! XD Still, I used to be like them, thinking I would suddenly get raptured up on a specific date I knew, it was confusing times. But Preterism makes more sense.

Full preterism is the view that all eschatological events necessary to secure complete redemption for all believers, past, present, and future have been fulfilled.
Thus, you can call me a full-preterist.
Mello = about to, soon, quickly.

I personally believe He is an entity, a creature created by God with sin that must be washed away by faith.].

[From a futurist perspective, 2000 years is a long hour! Even in God’s time, 1000 years is a day]
wait… WAIT…. I just realized!!!!!
First, we know it’s a FACT that 1000 years = a day, since the Bible tells us it’s a fact
2 Peter 3:8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (ESV)
1000 years = 1 day
1 day = 24 hours
John 11:9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
12 hours in the day + 12 hours in the night = 24 hours in a full day
thus…
1000 years / 24 = 41.666… so around 40.
1 hour
Genesis 6:3 Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.” (NIV)
Thus
1 Lord Day = 1000 Human Years
1 Lord Hour = 40 Human Years
3 Lord Hours = Max Human Lifespan 120 years.
Mark 15:25 It was the third hour when they crucified Him.
Jesus died around 30 AD. Source: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Jesus
30 AD + 40 = 70 AD. The Destruction of the Temple date!
