You Be The Judge: Afp1996 vs Jason

[Jason B]

Bro. Burk, you know the verses I use. Namely Daniel 9:24-27, specifically verse 27.

The scripture seems to give us a gap between the 69th and 70th weeks. I do realize that this verse is highly debated, many do belive there is a gap, while some do not.
The reason I lean toward there being a gap is that the abomination of desolation is spoken of here, is said to happen in the middle of the 70th week. It is also referenced in Daniel 11:31 and Daniel 12:11.

Jesus spoke of the AOD in Matthew 24:15. He said it would happen in the Holy Place (which is in the temple). Paul told us in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 that someone would stand in the temple of God and claim to be God.

I do not believe the abomination of desolation happened in 70AD. I know you guys almost attribute God-like status to Titus,but he had nothing to do with the AOD.

My reasoning for a gap is that if the abomination of desolation DID NOT happen in the first century-then it must remain future, and there is yet.

If the abomination of desolation did happen in the first century, I will recant. Please PROVE it.

The problem is the FP posistion doesn't provide this event WITH the related events. Sacfices ceasing, 3 1/2 years of great tribulation, a man claiming to be God (which we can see from other scriptures is the "antichrist" or "beast").

I don't belive the FP/PP posistion that teaches the AOD happened in 70AD does not jive with scripture. I will provide reasons why a 70AD AOD is out of line with scripture is you would like.

My issue with the "GAP" is that (most hyper/partial) preterists also have a gap in their eschatology. All-be-it a much shorter gap (40 years). But a gap is still necessary for their theories to make any sense.

I know you diagree with my posistion, but to continually post on the internet that I have no scriptural basis is incorrect and borderline dishonest. It would be better stated that you feel like I have misinterpreted scripture, than to accuse me of not studying, getting a doctrine out of my imagination, or any of the other accusations tossed my way.
