Who Saw Jesus' Return?

Did you know several reliable first century historians recorded an event occurring in 66AD that seems like a direct fulfillment of Jesus' promise to return within his generation?

This video is based off of the article:

Amen, this information is very exciting. I look forward to your next video too.

Very good brother! The living who accepted Jesus, and the dead who rejected Jesus and had Him killed. We see similar events with judgment and harvest in every era, as the first Christians experienced in the first century. But the judgment began at Pentecost, with the outpouring of His Spirit on all flesh. I would even say that was His second coming, which later culminated in the Jewish-Roman wars of 66-70 AD.

I’m so glad to see this channel is active again! I am resubscribing right now! Thank you!!

Thank you.. You do great work. Thanks to daily prayer for God to show me the truths about Jesus' return and things pertaining to it, I became a preterist a couple of years ago thanks to videos like this. I was brainwashed after many years of church teachings like "Jesus is going to return anytime" but when I read the new testament it just didn't make sense.
Now that I understand preterism everything makes perfect sense. I also understand how people can reject the idea of preterism but don't think that making these videos isn't doing any good. I can tell you first hand, they are a blessing..

RC Sproal mentions the happenings in the sky in one of his lectures on eschatology. Even tho he said he did not agree with it his lecture swayed me to preterism.

This is on my to do list looking more into Josephus, thank you for that

[paulnavarro]

So, the most spectacular scene, prophesied by all the Prophets, Jesus and the Apostles, and by Paul, i.e., the return of Jesus in the air, with his holy angels, was seen by some people and recorded by a handful of guys. Wow, that is absolutely AMAZING evidence of Christ's RETURN. Where do I sign to get a FULL PRETERIST CARD?

[dougking]

I was just reading this from Josephus recently and was going to ask you if you had read this. I see that you are way ahead of me.

Great work. Zech. 12 also connects with Revelation 1:7.

Hey John Paul, Joel and I subscribed under the Apologetics channel. I'm already subscribed on my personal channel. Good work!

Hello! I am new to learning about the preterism view. The two scriptures that are confusing me are the 1) heaven and earth will pass away and 2) two women will be grinding at the mill, one will be taken and one left

I am confused on the meaning of those two scriptures. Other than those, preterism makes sense to me. Have you written any or posted videos explaining those two verses? Or would you be able to provide clarity? Thank you

[brickcreation]

Great video! I first learned about these from Revelation Revolution website regardung Josephus Wars 6.5.3 and Tacitus Histories 5.13. Even tho I knew that a coming of the Lord is when God sends a nation to judge another nation, this fully made me believe without doubt the 2nd coming happened. One thing I'm confused on is how would the resurrection have been? Does Near Death Experiences basically prove the New Jerusalem is hear and people could go to heaven or hell immediately after death? I know somewhere in Corinthians (I think) Paul wrote that if he dies, God has a body prepared for him in heaven. Tho I believe Full Preterism is the most logical reading of The Bible, the thing that kinda make me not fully accept it is that the greek word resurrection (anastasis) whuch people say that it rarely means anything other than a physical resurrection. But what if the resurrection is physical, but in another dimension? So like if you die, your soul (implied by a near death experience) goes to another body in another dimension (heaven or hell). I know the universe had a beginning and has to end, since the Kingdom of God cannot end, it seems that the resurrection has to be in a place that cannot end. I'm not too sure tho lol.

The entire earth would see the lightening from the east to the west, within the Biblical model of the earth.. just like the Scriptures say. We have to take all scriptures literally for every single point and not try to negate their literal meaning by squeezing them into a modern day view of a planet, instead of the circle of the earth that stands on pillars. Once we understand the scripture using this model, everything becomes clear 🤍🕊️

[minawena]

But here, you didnt say anything about anyone seeing Jesus. Maybe i missed that part.

The return that you are referring to, is it only Matthew 24 or does it also include the return in Thessalonians? Matthew 24 does sound like its meant for Israel though.

[gregharry]

Christ will return and end this Earth age of flesh man!!!

[bonnenaturel]

What about the dead who resurrected when Jesus did? It is mentioned Matthew 27:52. Doesn't that constitute the beginning of the resurrection of the dead?

[andrejuthe]

But when did Jesus destroy the antichrist with fire from his mouth as scripture says?

[Grayraven]

Yes now that you figured out that Josephus was working for the Roman's compare the battle campaign of Titus and the ministry of Jesus and you will discover what is called the Flavian Signature. This is the proof that Josephus is the author of the first gospels.
