Preterism
by Chris Tann inwhen i started to do my research concerning ttatt, i started to see the scriptures in a different light.
one thing i noticed is that when the epistles talk about the last days, christs presence, the ressurection to heaven; the writers were speaking specifically of their time, not some two thousand years later.
even when jesus speaks of his presence and the kingdom being established, he was talking to his disciples of that time and what they were soon to expect.

by Tiresias inmodern christianity is based on the notion of a universal outreach to the nations, begun in the first century.
however, a closer examination of the scriptures suggests that biblical concepts have been misunderstood and misapplied.
1) the "world" into which jesus was sent was israel.

7 Reasons Why “Babylon the Great” was Jerusalem
by Tiresias inauthors david chilton (1987) and james stuart russell (1878) propose that the revelation is primarily a prophecy of the destruction of ancient jerusalem by the roman armies.
the revelation is jerusalem's armageddon (mountain of assembled roman troops).
i see the revelation as a war siren warning the first century christians of the imminent destruction of the city.

"Make Disciples of All Nations"
by Tiresias in"meaning, of course israelites living among all nations" (social science commentary on the letters of paul, p.17) (italics mine).. .
the above authors suggest that paul was an "apostle to israelite minorities living among non-israelite majority populations" (p.7).
for me, such understanding clarified a number of things that were, in effect, hiding in plain sight.
