Futurists wrongly teach that there will be a modern-day beast (in spite of the clear timing indicated in the Revelation which placed him in that first-century world)--
Hmmm? I wonder, is the world going to go to a denarii system so that everyone can be forced to buy a quart of wheat for a denarius and three quarts of barley for a denarius? Is that the one-world currency we are supposedly heading for? Guess so, huh?
Matthew24:34
I just want to once again reiterate my position of what I see Mathew 24:34 doing once again.. Here we have a chap asking questions about the antichrist and his mark. This person may be new to the faith or simply may not know.
Matthew 24:34 once again tells us to ignore any current signs, symbols or warnings as there is no possibility of a modern day antichrist. So no matter what happens in the modern day,, take the mark?? Why wouldn't you? Take the mark for safety security and to be able to buy and sell.
This is my biggest, perhaps the only major concern I have about this view. It's a gamble and it's dangerous to our faith.
I would also like to ad one more thing to the Preterists. I have no problem that you believe this view within your own hearts. However I beleive in my heart that this view is going to be blown out of the water as days approach and prophecy is fullfilled in the modern day (translation 2009 forward). This means all that all who believed this view will be running with their tail in between their legs. Some of you even said that if you saw ezikel 38 happen in the modern day you would change your views. Yes but at what cost, the damage you did is done.
My issue is not that you believe it.. it is when you preach it to be true to others that the damage is done and can not be corrected when you are proven to be wrong from modern day events. You go on the internet and other places telling everyone to ignore the modern day signs, no modern day antichrist, no warning, which many believe contravene scripture. Some consider it satanic.
How do you plan on going back to everyone you told about this view that you were wrong. The damage is done by your hand.
If I was in anyway unsure about my views I would believe them but I certainly wouldn't preach them. I certainly wouldn't preach them if some considered my view even remotely satanic.
I would preach the gospel of Jesus Christ but not this view. This is what we do, if we see these signs or warnings we go out and tell and warn as many people as possible.
I am fine that you believe it. I am hurt by what you do to others.
