  1. A.D. 70 Theory A False Doctrine

  2. A.D. 70 Theory Names • A.D. 70 Theory • Realized Eschatology • Hyper-preterism • Max-Kingism • Transmillenialism

  3. Why A.D. 70? • According to Historians Rome besieged the city of Jerusalem and destroyed it in A.D. 70 • This fulfilled the prophecy in Matt. 24: 2 • Eye witness accounts recorded by Jewish Historian, Flavius Josephus, solidifies the events of the Jewish-Roman war of A.D. 66-74

  4. When did the Theory start? • Nobody really knows exactly when • Wasn’t widely accepted until 1800’s • Published in Parousia by James S. Russell • The doctrine was helped made popular by Max King in 1960 when he introduced it into the cups/Sunday-school churches of Christ

  5. Basics of the A.D. 70 Theory • ALL prophecy in the Bible was fulfilled by or with the destruction of Jerusalem • Antithesis of Premillennialism as in it takes the Bible as mostly figurative language • In 70 A.D. the world ended • The 2nd coming of Christ has already happened • Resurrection of the dead and Judgment day have already passed too

  6. Themes of the A.D. 70 Theory • Universalism • Hyer-Celibacy • Once Saved Always Saved • The Lord’s Supper is Spiritual only • No need for the Church of Christ—not the building but the actual spiritual Church of Christ

  7. How do they prove it? • They attempt to show that every book of the NT was written before the Destruction of Jerusalem • They try to prove that all prophecy was made and fulfilled by 70 A.D. • Christ’s statement in Rev: “I am coming soon” refers to His 2nd coming and it has already happened • Matt. 24+25 refers only to events surrounding the Destruction of Jerusalem

  8. Flaws of the A.D. 70 Theory • 1. Everyone buried in the ground didn’t come out in 70 AD • 2. Christians didn’t disappear from Earth during 70 AD • 3. Contradictions of death according to 1 Corinthians 15 • 4. Marriage didn’t end in 70 AD

  9. Flaws of the A.D. 70 Theory • 5. Peter’s prophecy about the “end of the world” should happen long after the Destruction of Jerusalem • 6. It contradicts Jesus’ prophecy in Luke 21 • 7. Prophecies concerning Christ’s Kingdom and God, the Father extend past 70 AD

  10. Things to Ponder • How do you explain that none of the promises in the Bible don’t apply to the Christians after 70 A.D? • How do you explain none of the commands aren’t applicable to the Christians after 70 A.D.? • What’s the point of Lord’s Supper? • Why do we need to assemble?

  11. Things to Ponder • What’s the point of knowing God’s Word? • Are the fates of the people after 70 A.D. predestined? • Other religions are still around after 70 A.D.. Are they now valid?
