Orthodox Preterists need to STOP claiming Jesus came back in judgment in AD70. The Bible says in the parable of the Landowner & the Wicked Vinedressers that it was NOT the Son/Heir but the Landowner/The Father who took vengeance on the wicked vinedressers. See Mt 21:33-41.
Well, I’m not sure we can draw that requirement from this parable.
First of all, the parable says nothing about the Son being resurrected and seated at the right hand of the Father, ruling over the nations and bringing them all into subjection. The AD70 judgment seems perfectly in line with that reality.
Secondly, I’m not sure there is any passage in the rest of the Bible that speaks of the Father taking vengeance for the death of His Son on the cross. On the contrary, there are verses such as “For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,” (John 5:22, cf. 2 Thess. 1:7-8) that seem to teach the contrary.
In other words,, the details of the parable are not meant to trump the rest of the Bible.
Doubtful, in my opinion.So, if Orthodox Preterists keep saying it was Jesus that came, then yes they are leading people into hyperpreterism.
