Matthew 26:64 is NOT a "Preterist Time Indicator" Pointing to AD70 "In short, the usage of "Apo Arti" in Matthew 26:64 [Apo ("from" - Strongs 575) and Arti ("now on" - Strong's 737)] is highly suggestive of the themes that have been previously offered at this blog ; that is, a series of revelatory recognitions of the power and glory of Jesus Christ's dominance by friend and foe alike. Though the typically pret-friendly Weymouth translation would like to make Jesus say "later on, you will see.." this is not really honest. I would rather say that it was simply a mistake, but I find it impossible to believe that neither Richard Francis Weymouth ("If this belief ever obtains general acceptance the earlier date of the Apocalypse will also be regarded as fully established. For it will then be seen that the book describes beforehand events which took place in 70 A.D.") nor Earnest Hampden-Cook (co-editor and author of "The Christ Has Come") were aware of how important (ironically) a futurist spin on this passage is to uphold their Preterist assumptions. However, not only is there no sense of futurity in this very emphatic Greek phrase, but rather we see quite the opposite.

"Perhaps a word needs to be said about the eschatological position of the
writer of this thesis. He is a dispensational premillennialist, and he
does not consider this thesis to be a disproof of that system. He
originally undertook the thesis to bolster the system by patristic research, but
the evidence of the original sources simply disallowed this." ("A Dispensational
Premillennial Analysis of the Eschatology of the Post-Apostolic Fathers (Until
the Death of Justin Martyr)" p. 91, note 2)

“Israel’s Indiana Jones” : "argued
that the Western Wall -- for centuries considered Judaism's holiest site
-- was part of the "newer" area built by King Herod, and therefore not
included in the Second Temple's original layout, and thus, not
specifically a holy place."

Piers Paul Read, 2001 - "What is clear, however, is that the early Christians regarded the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem as both a necessary part of the new covenant between God and man, and as God's punishment for the Jews' repudiation of his only begotten Son." (The Templars: The Dramatic History of the Knights Templar, the Most Powerful Military Order of the Crusades, p. 20) |
