Full Preterist/Amillennialist If there is no Tribulation, if there is no literal return of Christ or literal Millennial Kingdom where Christ physically defeats Satan, the Antichrist, the False Prophet, judges the wicked nations, and literally rules and reigns from David’s throne (this would be in Israel, not heaven), than is Christ’s victory at the Cross, only a spiritual victory? If the idea of a Rapture is preposterous, than do you also not believe that Enoch was raptured? (Gen 5:24; Hebrews 11:5) Or Elijah being caught up to heaven alive? (2 Kings 2:11) Or that what the Angels told the disciples is not true, being that Jesus would return in like manner, if Christ was never going to return? (Acts 1:9-11) Why did Jesus Himself say that the WHOLE earth (even the dead) would see Him return in Glory? (Matt. 24:30, 26:62-64; Rev. 1:7) If Revelation was merely meant to be taken symbolically, then who determines what the symbolism actually means? Who has the ‘correct’ interpretation? If Scripture interprets scripture, then how can 1 Thess 4:13-18 be the same as Rev 19? (These two are nothing alike) If there is no gap between Daniel’s 69th and 70th week, (Dan. 9:24-27) then what happened historically in AD36-37? Why was Jerusalem destroyed 40 years later, instead of right after Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection?
