http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpX0cxCt7mgThis is a copy and pasted PM exchange that is subject to be moved to the preterist section if the discussion turns more heavily that way.[[[ Do you know why I named my video that?]]] (title: The Accuser of the Brethren is Back at It Again!)
Perhaps because that's what those were doing to their brethren, though I guess the "back at it again" is a bit lost on me.
I may have a little different understanding than most Christians in regard to the issue of salvation of Jews.
I consider genealogical Jews - that are regenerate - both "Messianic" - Christian, as well as those that haven't yet recognized Jesus as their Messiah, to be my brethren.
Those that I know, would never behave in the fashion of those on the video, being humble meek souls themselves, though if one of their own family converted they would likely hold the traditional funeral (even though he is still living) for him. While I understand that those Jews that love their God may not consider me their brother, I nonetheless consider them mine.
This link, or the attached video might help explain why I believe what I do.

I titled it that because the accuser of the brethren (satan) is NOT a supernatural being but apostat Judah (Jews) and they are "back at it again!" since 1948 as I have in my title.
In Revelation 12:10c, “the accuser (national Judaism, in the NT Jews are identified as accusers more than 30 times) of our brothers (Christians) is cast down...†Note that in 20:3 satan (the adversary of Christianity, “synagogue of satan†Rev.2:9, 3:9) is bound specifically that “he should deceive the nations no more.†And then in verse 8 he ( the Zionist Jew, the great harlot, the deceiver of the nations) is released to “go out and deceive the nations†again!
Here's the rest of the article:

How can you expect to understand what Revelation 2:9 is about if you don't try to understand just what a Jew is?
Rom 2:28
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither [is that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.Though I was born Gentile, I am a Jew. At least more so than a genealogical Jew, that is agnostic or atheist. Bigots lump all Jews in scripture into one group.
Daniel date pinned the restoration of the Jews to their land in 1948 and to their city in 1967 - right to the year - and he did it 500 years BC as per attached video. Two parallel prophecies, spanning 2500 years each, in perfect parallel.
First year Belshazzar 552BC + 2500 = 1948
Third year Cyrus 533BC + 2500 = 1967
"...
when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people..."
http://www.beholdthebeast.com/mathematical_precision_of_prophecy.htmI believe "Christian" anti-Zionists - largely from from Alcazar's preterist camp - may contain the highest number of candidates for synagogue of Satan. That's why some Presbyterian leaders even went as far as to meet with Hezbollah for example.
But Islamic violence isn't about Zionism. Otherwise they wouldn't be beheading Christian teenage girls in Indonesia, or blowing up things in India and Thailand. Islam is, and has always been, about global conquest. The dar el salam against the dar el harb.
The 12,000 deadly Islamic terror attacks around the world just since 9-11 don't have anything to do with Zionism.
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com<br />You are marching shoulder to shoulder with the Islamic fundamentalists, but somehow don't seem to notice. I'll pray for you.
Meanwhile I'd recommend more soul searching and less finger pointing. I believe you may well be the accuser of the brethren, my friend.

Preterism was invented by a Catholic Jesuit named Alcazar in the 17th century to fool the reformers. Just as the futurist view was invented by Jesuit Ribera for the same reason in the 16th century. The reformers didn't buy it. Darby simply put his 7 year spin on Ribera/deLacunza/Irving's doctrine.
http://www.beholdthebeast.com/end_time_myth.htmMy view is the traditional continuous-historic view of the reformers and much of the church until the 20th century. The same view you yourself hold for Old Testament prophecy. That prophecy is fulfilled steadily as the era it is written about gradually unfolds:

I'm not fingerpointing just using proper hermeneutics by letting scripture interpret scripture.]]]
But you didn't because you ignored WHAT SCRIPTURE SAYS a Jew is.
[[[Who are the brethren from your perspective?]]]
Just as the verses that define a Jew said:
Rom 2:29
But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.My brethren are ALL those with a circumcision of the heart be they Jew or Gentile.
[[[ Did you find something BIBLICALLY wrong with that email I sent you? If so what? What you wrote above does not refute what I wrote to you about apostate Judah the accuser of the brethren. Unless maybe you agree, but it does not sound like it. If you disagree show me how I am misinterpreting using the Bible ONLY.]]]
You are genealogical Jew focused. So was Hitler. You narrowed the description of accuser to that group.
[[[[I titled it that because the accuser of the brethren (satan) is NOT a supernatural being but apostat Judah (Jews) and they are "back at it again!" since 1948 as I have in my title.
"Often I see this tendency in preterists because they misunderstanding Jesus' use of the term "generation" in Matthew 23.
"You are genealogical Jew focused. So was Hitler. You narrowed the description of accuser to that group."
Your above statement is not a biblical argument. It doesn't matter what I think it is what the Bible says that matters. As a Christian I'm not prejudice against any race EXCEPT those that reject Christ.
"Often I see this tendency in preterists because they misunderstanding Jesus' use of the term "generation" in Matthew 23."
You mean Matt 24 I think. So you hold a futurist view then it seems.]]]
You apparently didn't read what I wrote, nor took a look at the link I sent.
[[[ What is Jesus' right use of the term "generation".]]]
No I meant Matt 23: Mat 23:33
[Ye] serpents, [ye] generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?Now I am going to copy and paste our conversation into a thread in the forum. That way we can quote each other and be accountable to each other for prior statements. That way others can benefit too.
I spend enough time with Muslims misunderstanding, that subsequently prefer the dark alley of PMing as a result.

[[[[ That's fine let me know when and where, but later I have to leave for now.
