Jonha gets more aggressive because he has everything to lose if wrong. Lucas more relaxed

Brilliant conversation/debate! As an amil/postmil, and this Jonah is great in his arguments. One thing though:at 40:48, I find it hard to believe in a double fulfillment, due to Matt 24:21. It is a unique event.

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, Jonah is a phenomenal debater!

Excellent job Lucas. I’m amil myself but I think you did a great job and your cross examination was pretty strong.

Thank you very much!

Also, Irenaeus and Justin Martyr believed that some scripture applied distinctly to the Jews ("But we do not trust through Moses or through the Law; for then we would do the same as yourselves" Dialogues with Trypho, ch. XI). They also separated the Church from Israel (Justin, at one time, calls the Church the true Israel, Dialogues with Trypho the Jew, ch. CXXIII, but he still distinguishes between the ethnic Jewish nation that shall be saved, Dialogues with Trypho, ch. CXXXIV, and also references Hosea, Zechariah and Daniel for proof, Dialogues with Trypho, ch. xiv). Irenaeus says that the Church shall be saved from the descriptions of the Olivet Discourse (Against Heresies Book 5, Chapter xxix, Section 1), he also believes that the 144000 saints described in Revelation are ethnic Jews: And Jeremiah does not merely point out his sudden coming, but he even indicates the tribe from which he shall come, where he says, “We shall hear the voice of his swift horses from Dan; the whole earth shall be moved by the voice of the neighing of his galloping horses: he shall also come and devour the earth, and the fulness thereof, the city also, and they that dwell therein.” (Jer_8:16) This, too, is the reason that this tribe is not reckoned in the Apocalypse along with those which are saved. Irenaeus, Against Heresies, Book 5, ch. xxx, s. 2 Irenaeus also believes in a separation of the Church and Israel, and uses Jacob's marriages of Leah and Rachel to paint a picture of it, in Against heresies, book iv, ch. xxi, section 3. He also believed that the present dispensation was distinctly one of more grace (against heresies book iv, ch. 11, sections 3-4).

When speaking about generation he doesn't say which generation

In 7:05, you state that historic premillennialism is different from dispensational premillennialism, yet, there is not much difference between the early Church doctrine and dispensational premillennialism. See the following irenaeus quote for example: And therefore, when in the end the Church shall be suddenly caught up from this, it is said, 'There shall be tribulation such as has not been since the beginning, neither shall be.' (Mat 24:21) For this is the last contest of the righteous, in which, when they overcome they are crowned with incorruption." Irenaueus, Against Heresies Book 5, Chapter xxix, Section 1 The whole chapter is very pre-trib.

As Michael Heiser said, both camps cheat. The Futurists re-interpret the dating passages to mean something none of the target audience would have thought they meant. The Preterists re-interpret the descriptions of Jesus' return (with the thousands of angels and saints, and the judgment of the nations that happens at that time, and the resurrection, etc.) in a way none of the target audience would have thought they meant. The real truth is a "both and neither" interpretation. There are two distinct timelines that branch off from a single timeline in ~AD 66. One timeline lasts ~7 years long, while the other timeline lasts ~2000 years. At the end of each of those timelines the Lord Jesus returns and the two timelines merge together as one again to form a single Millennial age timeline.

When the time statements that sandwich revelation get brought up Jonah says that all prophecy in the book meet their starting point, not necessarily their end point so to avoid full preterism, however I'm curious how this works with the great white throne judgement? was 70ad the starting point of this judgement and the second coming judgement the end point? I don't understand this, and what's to stop someone simply taking this as 70ad and only 70ad?

The Great White Throne judgment is said to be "after the thousand years are finished." This is another time-marked event. One of the only ones marked as after a long period of time. That's why we believe it is still in the future. The thousand-year period necessitates it.

All scripture was fulfilled in the 1st century. The Day of the Lord was a judgment on Israel and the Roman world back then. Jesus and His angelic army was seen running among the clouds before Jerusalem and the Temple was destroyed. Daniel's and John's prophecy came true during the Jewish and Roman War. The book of Revelation is completed.

Preterism wins. Futurism is a lie and makes Jesus a liar.

Futurist claim Jesus lied. Jesus promised to come in the generation of the disciples. If he didn’t, he lied. That’s what futurists claim. Along with skeptics, Muslims and Jews.
