That is what we call a gradual Millennial reign, where Christ slooooooowly takes control.
We're seated in heavenly places. How's it going down there.

Re: Apocalyptic Thoughts

Is Christ having a rough time controlling demons and humans?

Should it take him thousands of years to get His subjects under his rule?

We all know this deep down in our inner man. Even the Preterist knows this. But some have preached themselves into a corner that they can't escape from without losing the creditability they have fought so hard to gain after leaving Futurism for Preterism. This has put them on the fringe, reduced them to a minority, and left them without a prophetic message. One can only imagine the frustration that some of them might feel.
A statement based in circular reasoning. It's saying you are right because you are right about the future, with no evidence as proof to back up the claim, and then talking from that standpoint to say preterists are wrong.

Full of logical fallacy.

Bro., you have to prove the concept wrong before you make claims about what will fare in the future with those who believe those claims. And only those who likewise do not substantiate their claims will see reason behind your post. It's what they call knee-jerk reaction from people who've heard a view so long they consider it truth without ever having substantiated it for themselves.
