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.

Romans 13:11) (On Hermeneutics |
'Double Fulfillment' Theory) 'Scripture, like other books, has one meaning, which is to be gathered from itself, without reference to the adaptations of fathers or divines, and without regard to a priori notions about its nature and origin.' 'The office of the interpreter is not to add another [interpretation], but to recover the original one : the meaning, that is, of the words as they struck on the ears or flashed before the eyes of those who first heard and read them.'

CommentsSolution to Rev. l3:l8 is NEBEKEDNESSER, that is, the Greek letters: Nu (50) + Eta (8) + Beta (2) + Eta (8) + Kappa (20) + Eta (8) + Dela (4) + Nu (50) + Eta (8) + Sigma (200) + Sigma (200) + Eta (8) + Rho (l00) = 666. The variant 6l6 is: Kaisar Theos (Lord God). My reasons for these solutions are: l) The Jewish HOUSE OF JESUS (See SEPTUAGINT, Ezra 2:36) was captive/exiled in 6th century b.c. Babylon. 2) The Book of Daniel 4:l6 mentions that God gave Nebuchadnezzer the mind of a beast for refusing to acknowledge the Lordship of the King of Heaven. 3) The 2nd century b.c. apocryphal work titled JUDITH refers variously to Nebuchadnezzer as: "Lord of the whole world", "Who is God except Nebuchadnezzer", "All nations shall call upon Nebuchadnezzer as God." 4) The lst century a.d. New Testament letter titled FIRST PETER at 5:l3 alludes to the Jewish HOUSE OF JESUS in the following covert and clandestine manner: "Greetings from her who dwells in Babylon . . ." (The New English Bible). 5) Midrash Rabbah Ecclesiastes mentions that the Roman emperor Trajan was "A descendant of Nebuchadnezzer" (presumably, in a typological sense!). 6) Midrash Rabbah Canticles refers to Rome as "ROME-BABYLON." 7) The spelling for Nebuchadnezzer in THE SEPTUAGINT dates from the 2nd century b.c. at the earliest while the Jewish HOUSE OF JESUS was in 6th century b.c. Babylon. [Walter C. Cambra, A.A.,B.A.,B.A.,M.A.,(FRC)(MAFA)]

CommentsQuoted by ARthur John Gossip in The Inerpreters Bible, Volume 8, page 751, "As a measure of the value of such disputes, which above all other interests seem to have for a time the power of absorbing men’s minds and rousing their passions, we may carry our thoughts onward to the invisible world, and there behold, as in a glass, the great theological teachers of past ages, who have anathematized each other in their lives, resting together in the communion of the same Lord."
