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.

PRETERIST UNIVERSALISM | PRETERIST-IDEALISM

Jan Philips Schabaelje
(1585-1656)

"Minister of the Waterländer congregation at Alkmaar, Holland.  He wrote a large number of writings, the best known being The Wandering Soul ("Die Wandelnde Seele") published in 1635, a fictionalized account of world history, based on the Bible and contemporary historical sources. This book was later translated into German and frequently republished." (Anabaptist Vision)

 

(On Chariots in the Clouds)
"Soon after the feast of the passover, in various parts of the country, before the setting sun, chariots and armed men were seen in the air, passing round about Jerusalem, which was very alarming to behold.  At the subsequent feast of Pentecost, while the priests were going, by night, into the inner temple to perform their customary ministrations, they first felt, as they said, a shaking, accompanied by an indistinct murmuring, and afterwards voices of a multitude, saying, in a distinct and earnest manner, "Let us go hence." (
The Wandering Soul, p. 412-413)

(On Jerusalem the Harlot)
"And because this city was the cause of the shedding of the innocent blood, she was suddenly visited with judgments -- as sudden as the coming of lightning. (The destruction of Jerusalem was sudden.  In a very short time, not less than eleven hundred thousand perished.  See Josephus, de Bell, Ind. lib. 6, c. 9, § 3. - trans." (p. 401)

"How could God be merciful towards such a city?  A city that would not reform, but accumulated sin upon sin until they had filled their cup of iniquity.  W.S. Thus I hear that all things conspired to the destruction of Jerusalem." (p. 410)

"O! how these surpass all other calamities that ever befell Jerusalem.  S.C. Are you speaking of Jerusalem?  Yes, that ever befell all the world besides ; for the greatest sins that ever were committed were perpetrated here, in this city." (p. 444)

"In order that God might show that he was determined utterly to destroy Jerusalem; and to that end, he gave them several signs, to warn each one in the city of the coming destruction." (p. 411)

(On Matthew 24:4-5)
"Josephus informs us, that there were many who pretended to be inspired, and deceived many people; leading out numbers into deserts, that they would there show them signs of liberty - meaning redemption from the Roman yoke, which things the Jews expected the Messiah would do for them.  Josephus, de Bell, lib. 2, c. xiii.,§ 4,5." (p. 409)

"Josephus informs us that an Egyptian false prophet led 30,000 into the desert, who were almost entirely cut off by Felix, the Roman procurator.  And that in the reign of Claudius, "the land was overrun with magicians, seducers, and imposters, who drew the people after them in multitudes into solitudes and deserts, to see the signs and miracles, which they promised to show by the power of God.  Josephus, Antiq. lib. 20, c. viii., § 6 (p. 409)

(On the Rebuilding of the Temple)
"But had they no hopes that the city and the temple would be rebuilt, and raised to their former glory, as was the case when they returned from the Babylonian captivity?  S.C. They expected, I know not what kind of a Messiah, who should re-establish to their kingdom  ; but in this they were deceived ; for there were still some who undertook to redeem them from the yoke of the Gentiles, but they were all deceived, as I told you before.  The prophecy of Daniel remains too true ; for it was predicted by him, that this destruction should last till the end of the world, and that Jesus is the true and only Messiah, whom they rejected.  He also plainly told them their house should be left desolate ; for God will not establish such a kingdom ; his kingdom is a heavenly one, which shall endure through all eternity, into which all the believers shall once enter."
