AI Analysis of Preterism
A disclaimer of sorts. I am more than aware that AI, virtually all platforms, can be “manipulated” to a certain degree. With that said, the following was sent to me by a friend who submitted a request to analysize the validity of Full Preterism, based on Scripture and Scripture alone. This is fascinating and more than revealing!

Here is what “Cody” submitted:
Forgetting historical perceptions of what the Bible says, going strictly off of scripture. Would one not have to conclude that either everything happened in ad 70 that the Bible said would happen which are all things. Or it didn’t and the Bible is false And bullet point what “everything” entails And what is the conclusion in regards to the Full preterist view

If we go strictly off of Scripture itself — no church history, no traditions, no later theological explanations — then yes, we are faced with a sharp either/or:
Either everything happened in AD 70 exactly as the Bible said would happen (which means all things),
Or it didn’t — and the Bible’s own time-claims (“soon,” “at hand,” “this generation”) would be false.
What “Everything” Entails (from Scripture)-
Covenant Curses
-
Siege, famine, destruction, scattering (Deut. 28:49–52, 63–68).
-
Latter-days calamity on Israel (Deut. 32:20, 29).
-
-
Temple & City Destroyed
-
City and sanctuary cut off, desolated (Dan. 9:26–27).
-
Temple leveled, “not one stone left upon another” (Matt. 24:2).
-
Jerusalem surrounded and trampled by Gentiles (Luke 21:20–24).
-
-
Great Tribulation
-
Time of trouble unlike any before (Dan. 12:1).
-
Great tribulation within “this generation” (Matt. 24:21, 34).
-
-
Day of the Lord / Coming of Christ
-
Son of Man coming on the clouds (Matt. 24:30).
-
Judge “standing at the door” (James 5:9).
-
The Coming One “will not delay” (Heb. 10:37).
-
-
Resurrection / Transformation
-
Many who sleep in the dust shall awake (Dan. 12:2).
-
At His coming, the dead in Christ raised and the living changed (1 Cor. 15:23, 51; 1 Thess. 4:16–17).
-
-
End of the Age / End of All Things
-
Old covenant ready to vanish away (Heb. 8:13).
-
“The end of all things is at hand” (1 Pet. 4:7).
-
Destruction of the Temple = end of the age (Matt. 24:3).
-
-
New Heavens and New Earth
-
God creates new heavens and a new earth (Isa. 65:17; 66:22).
-
John sees new heaven, new earth, new Jerusalem (Rev. 21:1–2).
-
Conclusion Regarding the Full Preterist View-
If the Bible is to be taken at face value on its own terms, all these events converge on AD 70.
-
The Full Preterist position therefore claims to be the most logically consistent conclusion:
-
The destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in AD 70 was the covenantal “end of all things.”
-
The Old Covenant world passed away.
-
The New Covenant world (new heavens and new earth) was fully established.
-
Thus, according to Scripture alone, if the Bible is to be trusted, the Full Preterist view must be the logical result.| MrDonPreston |
