There is SO MUCH proof in the OT that saying things were not fulfilled, is like saying the titanic didnt sink. Let us reason together, and come to a logical conclusion. It is obvious that Yashua, (Jesus) was the embodiment of the OT. In the flesh. But what I am saying is that every law, every thing that was in the OT not only points to Yashua, but was about the messiah. Here is the proof. The first day of the first month, the glory filled the tabernacle after Moses finished building it. 2000 years later, on the same day, first day of the first month, Yashua was baptized, and he was filled with the spirit of the Almighty. Then, he went into the wilderness for 40 days, until he revealed himself. The day he started his ministry, was the 14th day of the second month. That was the same day the manna started in the OT. Then there is the thing about the Amalekites. That was to show that there was going to be "war with the fleshly man/carnal man", from generation to generation. Before this, the baptism, which is the death, burial, and resurrection. That is what baptism is, showing that we have died to the old man, and were buried with Yashua, and rose with him into his resurrection. A new man. The awesome thing that YAH did, was give us a timeline for EVERYTHING the messiah would do. From the time he was baptized, until the time Titus came to destroy the city, and burn the temple. Exodus 12 is the passover. Chapter 13, is the death, 14 is the burial, and 15 is the resurrection. 16 is Miriam, (Mary) praising the death of the rider and his horse. This same thing happened thousands of years later when Mary rejoiced. Remember this when you read revelation next time... Then you read all the way to Joshua when he takes over Jericho, and there you see Titus entering the picture exactly 40 years after the passover. The EXACT same thing happened in Egypt to Joshua entering Jericho. EVERYTHING, including the 1000 years was fulfilled...the proof of the 1000 years is right after Joshua died, and read what happens for the next thousand years with Israel in the OT. Then read history to see what happened in church history, for the first thousand years...It is AMAZING!

The reason most people are preterists makes me wonder if they simply follow the rest without evidence. There is proof for everything being completed IN Yashua, (Jesus). The proof is in the fact that he rose from the dead. Death no longer has a hold on man, so long as he gets rid of the old man. The term "preterism" is used in the same way as "christian" is now. I prefer to be called a completed believer. Where is the proof beyond the new testament scriptures most preterists use? Lets go to the OT. The proof that Yashua fulfilled EVERYTHING is in the OT. The proof IS Moses. Since he was the one to say that a prophet like him would rise up and save the people from their sins, from among the tribes, is a good starting point. But what from there? We go next to see what Moses did, and what he didnt do. We need to start in Exodus. With chapter 12, and go on to the point where Joshua entered the land of Canaan, we see exactly what is to happen in the time of Yashua, all the way to when Titus enters the land of Israel. Exactly 40 years pass. And even the events that take place from Exodus 12 to Joshua 1 and beyond, are FULFILLED in the time of the passover of Yashua, until Titus.

"The LORD will mediate between nations and will settle international disputes. They will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer fight against nation, nor train for war anymore" (Is. 2.4). There won't be international disputes in eternity future, only in the millennial kingdom. And in the millennial kingdom there will no longer being nations fighting. That's not happening now. "No more shall there be in it an infant that lives but a few days, or an old man who does not fill out his days, for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed" (Is. 65.20). Children die quickly through malnutrition or from being born into sin. Children will not die in eternity future. So this time spoken of if not now or eternity future, must be the future millennial kingdom. 10,000 children die of starvation every day or from other abuse. "For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea" (Hab. 2.14). This is certainly not the condition today. Most people I speak to reject the Lord. 1) How can Satan be the "god of this world" (2 Cor. 4.4), "prince of the air" (Eph. 2.2) and "ruler of this world" (John 12.31) if he is sealed in the pit for 1000 years (Rev. 20.3)? 2) How can Christians be reigning today "over the nations" with a "rod of iron" (Rev. 2.26,27) if we are being martyred daily? 3) How can there be two rulers, those who "overcometh" (Rev. 2.26) reigning "with Christ" (20.4), "with Him" (v.6), for 1000 years if Satan is "ruler of this world" now also? 4) If the nations are not deceived in the 1000 years where Satan can "deceive the nations no more, till the 1000 years is finished" (Rev. 20.3), how can the 1000 years be now since 10,000 children die every day due to starvation and we continue to hear of wars and rumors of wars? 5) What would prevent the gospel of salvation being distributed to the nations so they would be deceived again when Satan is let out for a short while at the end of the 1000 years? Surely everyone in all the nations can continue to hear the gospel to be saved even if Satan were let out of the pit otherwise that would give credence to Calvinism. 6) When a person dies they go to soul sleep; if saved, to the good side of Hades, Abraham's bosom, waiting to be resurrected at the "last trumpet" (1 Cor. 15.50-52; 1 Thess. 4.14-18). How can those who "overcometh" be reigning over the nations today if they are asleep? There is no party going on in Heaven right now of the resurrected saved. 1 Thess. 4 says, "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and left unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God ('at the last trumpet' 1 Cor. 15.52): and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and left shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words" (vv.14-18).
