Haunting Questions

 Realized Eschatology affirms that all prophecies regarding “the end times” were fulfilled in A.D. 70 at the destruction of Jerusalem, including:  The Second Coming of Christ  The Resurrection of the Dead  The Day of Judgment  The End of the World, etc.

 Furthermore, proponents of this doctrine affirm that Christ’s Kingdom/Church was not fully established on Pentecost. Instead, the kingdom was born in Acts 2, but did not come with “power” and fulness until Jerusalem was destroyed in A.D. 70.  “The last days” never apply to the Christian age, but always to the closing period of the Jewish age (A.D. 30- A.D. 70).

 One principle of Biblical interpretation is the law of harmony: Truth is consistent with itself (Ps. 119:160).  We should examine all that the Bible says on a given subject, and not interpret one passage so as to contradict another.

 However, when the artificial grid of the A.D. 70 doctrine is imposed upon Scripture, all manner of problems are created.  In this lesson, let us consider some of the haunting questions that arise when the four- square gospel is forced into the circular reasoning of Realized Eschatology.

 The expression “end of the age(s)” occurs 7x in the Bible (Dan. 12:13; Matt. 13:39, 40, 49; 24:3; 28:20; 1 Cor. 10:11).  Meaning is determined by context, with certain passages having an application that was near at hand (1 Cor. 10:11; Matt. 24:3), and others referring to the far distant future (Dan. 12:13; Matt. 13:39, 40, 49, 20).

 If the end of the age occurred in 70 A. D., why is Daniel not among us (Dan. 12:13)?  If the end of the age occurred 70 A. D., why are the wicked still among us (Matt. 13:36- 43)?  If the end of the age occurred in 70 A.D., by what authority do we preach the gospel (Matt. 28:18-20)?

 In the Old Testament “the coming of the Lord” was used prophetically of God’s judgment upon the nations, and of the coming of the Messiah.  In the New Testament, it has various meanings:  He Came  He Comes  He Will Come

 If the Lord’s coming occurred in 70 A.D., what is so remarkable about Jesus’ statement to Peter (John 21:20-23)?  If the Lord’s coming occurred in 70 A.D., why can we not judge the hidden things of the heart (1 Cor. 4:1-5)?  If the Lord’s coming occurred in 70 A.D., why do we still observe the Lord’s Supper (1 Cor. 11:23-26)?

 The resurrection concept is communicated by the Greek word anastasis, derived from anistēmi [to raise up, to rise], which identifies “a standing up, i.e. a resurrection, a raising up, rising” [Thomas 386].  BDAG say it can refer to either (1) a change for the better in status, rising up, rise (Luke 2:34); (2) resurrection from the dead, resurrection; (a) in the past: of Jesus’ res. (Acts 4:33; etc.); (b) of the future res., linked with Judgment Day (Acts 24:15; etc.).

 If the resurrection occurred in 70 A.D., why is there still marriage (Matt. 22:23-33)?  If the resurrection occurred in 70 A.D., why is there still death (Luke 20:27-40)?  If the resurrection occurred in 70 A.D., when will the righteous be repaid (Luke 14:12-14)?  If the resurrection occurred in 70 A.D., what is the resurrection of the wicked (John 5:28-29; Acts 24:14-15)?

 If the resurrection is merely symbolic, why did the Athenians scoff (Acts 17:16-18, 30-32)?  If the resurrection is merely symbolic, why did Paul so closely identify himself with the Pharisees, who believed in a literal resurrection (Acts 23:6-10; 24:20-21)?  If the resurrection occurred in 70 A.D., what is there left for us to attain (Phil. 3:7-11)?  If the resurrection is already past, why do we practice baptism (Rom. 6:4-11; 1 Cor. 15:29; 1 Pet. 3:21-22)?

 How is the doctrine of Max King substantially different from that of Hymenaeus and Philetus (2 Tim. 2:14-19)?  Since the gospel is directly tied with the concept of the resurrection, why is the 70 A.D. doctrine not rightly identified as another gospel (Gal. 1:6-9)?

 Because the proponents of realized eschatology advocate a different hope than the one set forth in Scripture (Acts 23:6; 24:14-15; 1 Cor. 15:12-14; 1 Pet. 1:3-5), we can no more have fellowship with them than with those who preach a different Lord, God, faith, or baptism (Eph 4:1-6).
