The linked paper seems to rewrite the three versions of the Olivet discourse into a single harmonized text -- I see passages that come from Luke, others that come from Matthew, etc. This does not explain why the versions differ the way they do and what they could tell us about the development of the Olivet discourse as it was reinterpreted and rewritten by each evangelist. Paying attention to the differences sheds light on the how each author had a different perspective and reveals what aspects of the original discourse were problematic for later interpreters.
I believe EVERYTHING in the Olivet discourse was fulfilled by 70AD.
The problem with preterism (especially full preterism) is that adopts an interpretation of the universal eschatological aspects of the apocalypse (specifically, pertaining the Judgment Day) that does not square with the text itself (when taken exegetically) or the interpretive traditions presupposed elsewhere in the NT. It seems to take a similar approach as early gnosticism in rationalizing failed prophecy by shifting the orientation to realized eschatology; see April DeConick's analysis of the Gospel of Thomas as undergoing a similar shift. It is a very common approach to salvage prophecy by interpreting it as fulfilled allegorically or invisibly.

Was Jesus Christ A Schizophrenic, With Who's my Father Issues?
by frankiespeakin intoday if someone claims to be the son of god, we naturally think he has some type of mental problem, and in some cases like charley manson, jim jones, and other too numerous to give a list here,, they get a groups of followers which share the same delusion,sometimes bringing tragic results.. the governing body delusion of being the spokeman for jehovah, has also resulted in a big number deaths.. so what about jesus christ?
was he delusional?.

Rose Ball was with them about 10 years,caught them by surprise his wife, Rose Ball would have 19 years, well, how long she had been taking the pulse? Or was just turned 19 when she took the pulse
No, no, she was either 19 or 20 when she first came to the household, and was 25 years old in 1894 when Russell sexually harrassed her. Those are facts.
Rutherford was a liar. Big surprise.
Depending on the age of this "servant girl", we may be looking at the first case of Watchtower Child Molestation...
"Servant girl" didn't imply minor; it implied servile status. The term referred to female domestic servants who could have been in their teens, twenties, thirties....we just don't know anything about this person.

"Melchizedek" might mean, "My king is Jupiter" or "my God is Jupiter"...
by EndofMysteries ini just recently learned that in hebrew, zedek also means jupiter.
when did this happen is unknown.
and possibibly that the planet jupiter was responsible for some catastrophes and things happening on earth during that time.

Hmmm, the author is wrong about Psalm 82:1. "Elohim" occurs in the quotation in 11QMelch. The claim that Melchizedek replaces YHWH in the allusion of Isaiah 61:2 is uncertain. It seems more like "year of grace" is what is alluded to and then applied by the author to Melchizedek, rather than replacing YHWH with Melchizedek in the allusion. BTW, the reference to Psalm 82:1 is a formal quotation ("as it is written in the songs of David") whereas we have only an allusion in the reference to Isaiah 61:2, which reuses a phrase (š e nat ratsôn) intertextually (without explicitly quoting the source text).
Indeed Melchizedek displaces Yahweh exegetically in 11QMelch, and he has a role somewhat similar to that of Michael in the Hebrew apocalypse of Daniel.

The first syllable in Iuppiter isn't related to Yah/Yahweh, but it is related to Zeus. Compare Umbrian Iupater, Greek Zeus patèr, Illyrian Deipaturos, Sanskrit Dyaušpita, etc. From PIE *dyeusp e tèr.
I am curious, the claim is made that in the dead sea scrolls on quotes from Isiah and Psalms, it has Melchizedek where in our modern day bible had YHWH or El.
No that's not right....the divine name is some form of YHWH or 'Adonai in the Qumran biblical texts. Rather Melchizedek occurs in some texts (such as 11QMelch) as a heavenly/messianic figure.

I always hated the "Lunatic? Liar? Or Lord?" argument. A bit of a false trilemma there on Lewis' part.

*** g90 11/8 p. 11 UFO’s—Can They Be Identified? ***
The Bible also speaks of extraterrestrials, spirit creatures, such as obedient angels and disobedient, rebellious angels who became demons. Down through Bible history, God on many occasions used faithful angels to communicate with men. (Genesis 22:9-18; Isaiah 6:1-7) Satan still uses his demon followers to mislead mankind with all kinds of philosophies, fads, messages, communications, and cults that distract from the message that God’s Kingdom, his heavenly government, will soon rule over a restored earth.—Compare Luke 4:33, 34; James 2:19; Revelation 12:9; 21:1-4. -
