I
once heard a preterist defend his view,
He claimed events in Revelation were
past,
All
the prophecy had been fulfilled, it’s true,
Twas of little worth for those days
that are last.
When
asked to explain his interpretation,
He referred to Matthew chapter 24.
For
all those events in that generation
Had to be accomplished, all finished
for sure.
So,
I asked, when did the Son of Man return
For that is what Jesus said in that
chapter.
The
preterist did not bat an eye but turned
“Why, that was Titus the Roman
conqueror.”
Staring
at him, I was confused and amazed.
“Do you truly believe Titus was that
man?”
“Sure,
that is all the Lord meant.” I stood there dazed!
“He attacked Jerusalem and the Jews
ran.”
I
did my best to restrain my emotions,
But soon knew that I wasn’t up to the
task.
My
eyes swelled up, my mouth began its motions,
In laughter and this foolishness, I
would bask.
“Laugh
if you will,” he exclaimed, “but I am right”,
“I have all the proof I need here in
my hand.”
And
when I looked I saw a book he held tight,
“Sproul agrees with me; great is he in
the land.”
My
laughter did not cease, oh no, it did not.
It only increased with this revealing
news.
I
simply dropped to my knees right on the spot,
Dying from laughter over his end time
views.
