by doing that they miss the near and far double interpretation of prophecy in the Bible.

There ca be no double fulfillment for things like tribulation such as never was nor ever shall be. If it happened once with a second fulfillment, then the second cannot be greater than it ever was. If it is fulfilled once, and a second time, then the first is not greater than what shall be.

He limited the generation to that which hear Him speak. He looked in their eyes and told them, "this generation." It's like Peter on the day of Pentecost saying Joel's prophecy was fulfilled in that day by saying, "This (what happened on the day of Pentecost) is that (what Joel foretold)."

It matters not who writes truth. Truth is truth. That does not validate everything else a person believes, though. But not sure why anyone would even ask this.

Double fulfillment?
Beatings in the synagogue...when?
Mark 13:9 was fulfilled in Acts 22:19?

i don't know, you gotta admit, reading the chapter, it starts out that way, but ends up talking about something more timeless, as Miz alludes to.

well, it seems like you attempted a reply to "the same way you saw Him leave is the way you will see Him return," but i would have to ask you to restate it, perhaps more succinctly, as i didn't get it. And just for the record, i am prolly some kind of preterist; i just feel compelled therein to examine the...futurist? pov.
