The Living Body Show Matthew 24:27-29 The Coming of the Son/Sun
Would Christ come as lightning or as the bright light of the sun shining from the east to the west within the AD 30 – AD 70 “this generation” (Matt. 24:27-34)? Was Jesus predicting the end of the planet earth in Matt. 24:29 or the end of the Old Covenant world order and the casting down of apostate Jerusalem’s civil…

The Living Body Show: The Significance of Matt. 24-25 And It's Development Within The NT
Since so many agree (not just Full Preterists) that one’s interpretation of Matthew 24-25 affects how they will see the rest of eschatology played out in the NT a crucial understanding of Jesus’ teaching here is crucial. Myself and William Bell tackle this alleged “difficult” passage that “scholars have disagreed on” with clarity and sound exegesis all the while demonstrating…

The Living Body Show – Exposing Sam Frost's "Exegesis" of Matt. 16:27-28 & Rev. 5 – Christ "Coming" in AD 30 or AD 66 – 70?
Sam Frost continues to try and convince people that he is some kind of eschatological expert in refuting Full Preterism and yet as this show demonstrates (and articles here on this site) he cannot deal with the basic fundamental Full Preterist exegetical arguments of Matt. 16:27-28 let alone how John Calvin and the Reformed Church understands such passages as Matt.…
Exposing and Refuting Sam’s Sloppy “Exegesis” of Matthew 16:27-28 Part 2: Cherry-Picking John Calvin & "Verily I Say Unto You"
Exposing and Refuting Sam’s Sloppy “Exegesis” of Matthew 16:27-28 Part 2: Cherry-Picking John Calvin & “Verily I Say Unto You” By Michael J. Sullivan In part one of this refutation we examined Sam Frost’s inability to even cite or mention let alone interact at all with passages that reformed theologians (along with Full Preterists) consider parallel passages or same time…

Exposing Sam Frost’s Sloppy “Exegesis” of Matthew 16:27-28 Part 1 – The Use of Similar Identical or Parallel Language Within Matthew and the NT Michael J. Sullivan Introduction Partial Preterist Sam Frost has attempted to deal with one passage of what theologians have termed as “the big three” (Matt. 10:17-23; Matt. 16:27-28; Matt. 24:27-34) which addresses the question, “Did Jesus…
The Living Body Show 11/19/12 – Revelation 20:8-15 & Challenge To Debate Sam Frost or Gary DeMar at the RCM Conference
Does the orthodox view of Partial Preterism in interpreting Matthew 16:27-28; 24:30–25:31-46 help interpret Revelation 20:5-15? How does the classic orthodox Amillennial view interpret Revelation 1-19, 21-22 in light of Revelation 20:5-15? How does the classic Amillennial view interpret Matt. 16:27 and 24:30–25:31-46 in light of Revelation 20:5-15? Where does Full Preterism fall within these two orthodox views? Should Full…
The Living Body Show – Criswell Conf. & The Millennium of Revelation 20

Seven Brief Points Which Prove The Full Preterist View of the Millennium of Revelation 20 is Exegetical and Orthodox
Seven Brief Points Which Prove The Full Preterist View of the Millennium of Revelation 20 is Exegetical and Orthodox By: Michael J. Sullivan 1) Reformed Partial Preterist author Kenneth Gentry in his writings informs us that the book of Revelation is about things which were in the past, present, and things which were “about to be” fulfilled in John’s day…
Living Body Show – The Resurrection of 1 Cor. 15/Dan. 12 Fulfilled in AD 70 and a Refutation of Ed Stevens IBDV.
Tonight William Bell and myself went through the resurrection of 1 Corinthians 15 proving it was fulfilled in AD 70. William also refuted Ed Stevens view that 1 Cor. 15 is allegedly teaching an individual resurrection at dead view – post AD 70.

The Contradictions Among Dr. Talbot's Disciples and the "Scholarly Consensus" of Daniel 12:1-13/Matthew 13:39-43
No one can deny that Full Preterism is the organic development (“Reformed and always reforming”) of the reformed orthodox church as it pertains to the time and nature of fulfillment for the judgment and resurrection of Dan. 12:1-4, 7, 13/Matt. 13:39-43 to take place. These texts would be fulfilled at the end of the “last days” or “end of the…

Joel McDurmon on Matthew 5:17-18- #2 What Does “Fulfill” Mean? Don K. Preston D. Div. www.eschatology.org In my debate with Joel McDurmon, of American Vision, which was held in Ardmore, Ok.

The Living Body Show 10/22/12 Re: The Criswell Millennial Conf. Review Part 2 Gentry's Inability to Develop Daniel 12:2-3 in the NT
I was disappointed that at the Criswell conference on the millennium of Revelation 20 that Kenneth Gentry did not address the texts and argument/main point to my public question. My question was that since he now believes the resurrection of Daniel 12:2 was fulfilled spiritually, covenantally and corporately in AD 70, he now needs to address HOW (not shouting) the…
The Living Body Show 10/15/12 Re: Criswell Millennial Conf. Review Part 1 G.K. Beale's "Thorny Problem" in Matt. 24-25=1 Thess. 4-5
If it is “orthodox” to believe the following: 1) The resurrection and glorification of the Church in Daniel 12:2-3 happened in AD 70 – corporately, covenantally and Daniel was raised out of Abraham’s Bosom or Hades into God’s presence at that time and according to Revelation 20 (Partial Preterism). 2) The end of the age in Matthew 13:39-43 and Matthew…
G.K. Beale and D.A. Carson's "Thorny Problem" In Matthew 24-25/1 Thessalonians 4:15–5:11
G.K. Beale and D.A. Carson’s “Thorny Problem” In Matthew 24-25/1Thessalonians 4:15—5:11 By Michael J. Sullivan My proposition in this article is to prove that Beale and Carson’s “thorny problem” concerning their contradictory teachings and or associations in their writings of Matthew 24:30-31/1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 over the years is solved with the Full Preterist interpretation of these passages. D.A Carson wrote…

Joel McDurmon on Matthew 5:17-18- #1 When Was “All” Fulfilled? Don K. Preston D. Div. In my recent formal debate with Joel McDurmon, July 19-21, in Ardmore, Ok., I argued from the explicit words of Jesus in Matthew 5:17-18 that until every jot and tittle of the law was fulfilled, that none of it would pass. (DVDs and MP3s of…
My Response To Joel McDurmon/American Vision's Letter To Criswell College Re: Don Preston
My response to Joel McDurmon and American Vision’s letter about Don Preston’s presence at Criswell’s Millennial Conference (see here: American Vision’s Letter to Criswell) 1) A Partial Preterist was invited – Kenneth Gentry, and yet McDurmon complains that a Partial Preterist needed to be there? a.

The Thousand Years Millennium and Revelation 1:19 By Michael Bennett
The 1000 years expires before the GWT judgment (Rev 20). The GWT judgment had to occur before “some standing there had died” (Matthew 16:27-28).So what was the thousand years? If we compare Revelation to the writings of Peter we will find that they are about the same event. 1 Peter 1:1 church in asia Rev 1:4 church in asia 1…
