Interesting post, thank you.
Why do you cherry pick the specific random letters from the Pope's name to come up with 666? If there is not a reason other than it needs to add up to 666 then you should just leave that part out.

Is it true that his tomb is always on camera? That seems very odd.

Sorry, Preterism is one of the most UNBIBLICAL and illogical piles of nonsense foisted on Believers since Eve ate the apple.
1. There's no way everything already happened in AD70.
2. There's no way that God's EVERLASTING PROMISES TO GENETIC ISRAEL have been trashed and given totally to the church exclusively.
3. When God says HIS PROMISES TO ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB AND KIDS ARE EVERLASTING--AS LONG AS THERE ARE STARS, SUN AND MOON--GOD MEANT IT AND MEANS IT.
Bo....thanks for being so kind.
So when Jesus walked by the olive tree (symbol for Israel) and cursed it and said you will never again bare fruit....don't think he was mad at the little tree do you?
God didn't trash anything but Jesus dying on the cross and coming into his kingdom....yeah that changed things up a bit.
What about Jesus telling his disciples to go preach throughout the land and not to worry when they are persecuted because they would not get through all of the cities before he comes into his kingdom?
and again....thanks for being such a kind brother
Sigh.
The Anti-Christ is yet to arrive overtly on the scene. However, the globalists are busy setting the stage . . . as is forerunner the O.

Starred & Flagged. Great read.
Is that coffin marble? Looks like woodgrain. I would assume they'd keep him in a tomb though, rather than bury him? Maybe the tomb is marble?edit on 10-12-2013 by tyranny22 because: .

the only person that is supposed to come back from the dead is Jesus Christ
I view that the new testament for the most part was written to the Jews. His followers even asked if they should teach to the gentiles and Jesus answered no. So....Revelation was written to the Jews for the Jews about the Jews and Romans.
The bottom line is the creator God is causing it all.Salvation is an"infinite process not an event.ALL of mankind is "being" saved.They all are in the womb..growing or ready to.Some(the many) are spermatozoon swimming up the fallopian tube to impregnate an ovum other already did and are zygotes others are splitting cells or growing body parts as embryos or are almost formed fetuses.....no one has been born yet though.That takes death then resurrection( it is NOT reincarnation)..

1. I don't think any perspective solves all the mysteries.
2. The utterly irrational leaps of gross, off-the-wall conclusions Preterism REQUIRES is the worst collection of eschatological foolishness in all of theology.
3. There are many items in the GREAT TRIBULATION Period that the Anti-Christ could not possibly have done because the pieces of that puzzle are NOT yet sufficiently available. They were certainly NOT available in 70 AD.
4. The unkindness would be to ignore the hideousness of Preterism and the damnable impacts of it on the unthinking, the unstudied and the undiscerning.
And with that, I'm going to race along, for now.

I disagree. Jesus only told them to preach to the Jews while he was alive. He told them to wait until after his death to proclaim the gospel of the kingdom to the whole world, to preach the resurrection and to baptize everyone in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The disciples were really asking three questions. First, they wanted to know when "this" would happen. The "this" could be a reference to the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple, which Jesus had just finished describing as being threatened with destruction. Second, they wanted to know what the "sign" of his coming was, which as we shall see, Jesus finally gave them in 24:30. Third, the disciples also wanted to know when the "end of the age" would occur. This is something Jesus told the disciples they could not know (24:36).
If we separate out the three questions, and see how Jesus answered each of them, we can clear up a number of problems or misinterpretations associated with Matthew 24. Jesus was telling his disciples that Jerusalem and the temple (the "this") would, indeed, be destroyed in their day. But the "sign" they asked about, Jesus said, would be associated with his coming, not with the destruction of the city. Finally, as to the disciples' third question, Jesus said, no one could know the answer to the question of when he would return and "the end" of the age would occur.
In Matthew 24 are three questions, and each is answered individually in Jesus' reply. We can still have Jesus' return and the "end of the age" occur in the future, and Jerusalem be destroyed in the past, in A.D. 70, just as Jesus prophesied.
