Fragment from

the first line of the document indicates a precise date, the IAA said -
"Year 4 [AD] to the destruction of Israel", which could indicate either
AD74, when Jerusalem's Second Temple was destroyed, or AD139, the date of a
Jewish revolt violently put down by Rome.
Willibald
Beyschlag,
New Testament Theology
(1895)
"The common error.. of
conceiving the parousia as a single historical event instead of the whole
course of Christ's victory and triumph over the historical world, dominates
also the writer of the Apocalypse. But this error marks simply the necessary
limits of prophecy, which Paul describes in the words (1 Cor. xiii. 12):
"Now we see (in our prophecy) through a glass in a riddle, but then face to
face." To see the things of the future face to face is granted only to the
after life ; to him who looks forward the future appears only in the mirror
of the present ; the symbol of the future hovers before him in the signs of
his time. Hence the conflict of Christian history and the hope of eternal
victory were to the writer of the Apocalypse symbolically reflected in the
confusions of his time ; and if he saw close at hand the eternal triumph of
the kingdom of God, he simply erred in the same way as Isaiah or his greater
post-Exilic successor, the former of whom expected that the Assyrian
oppression and deliverance from it, and the latter that the Babylonian
captivity and deliverance, alone separated them from the Messianic
salvation." (This is a "must read" for
anyone investigating a hybrid preterist view of any sort)

2/11/9:
SPIEGEL: Are you actually
aware that you are dividing the Church with your extreme views?
Williamson: Only
violation of the dogmas, that is, the infallible principles, destroys
faith. The Second Vatican Council declared that it would proclaim no new
dogmas. Today the liberal bishops act as though it were some sort of
all-encompassing super-dogma, and they use it as justification for a
dictatorship of relativism. This contradicts the texts of the Council.
SPIEGEL: Your position on
Judaism is consistently anti-Semitic.
Williamson: St. Paul put
it this way: The Jews are beloved for the sake of Our Father, but our
enemies for the sake of the gospel.
SPIEGEL: Do you seriously
intend to use Catholic tradition and the Bible to justify your
anti-Semitism?
Williamson:
Anti-Semitism means many things today, for instance, when one criticizes
the Israeli actions in the Gaza Strip. The Church has always understood
the definition of anti-Semitism to be the rejection of Jews because of
their Jewish roots. This is condemned by the Church. Incidentally, this
is self-evident in a religion whose founders and all important
individuals in its early history were Jews. But it was also clear,
because of the large number of Jewish Christians in early Christianity,
that all men need Christ for their salvation -- all men, including the
Jews."
2/2/9:
"Professor Crosby
is the victim of a system, which has taken him captive, and carries him
whithersoever it will. He follows it wherever he can see it; and when it
gets beyond his sight, he shuts his eyes, and still pursues it by the
scent and the sound of its flying foot-steps."

Adolph Hausreth:
A History of the New Testament Times
(English translation of
Neutestamentliche Zeitgeschichte,
1868–1873, 4 vols) -
"The Jewish false prophet, who raised the standard of
rebellion, is plunged into the eternal pit no less than Nero, the
Antichrist." // "Thus
ensued an anxious pause, which gave the Romans repose, and the Zealots a
period for new saturnalia. Breathless expectancy brooded over Asia, and
engendered the strangest rumours, which the Apocalypse of John shows us in
the form current among the Jewish Christians. This was the momentary respite
immediately before the coming of the great judgment of which John speaks.
The angels stood on the four corners of the earth and held the four winds,
so that no leaf stirred, nor any wave ; and another angel came from the east
and sealed the saints on the forehead, so that they should be marked before
the coming of the great judgment."

THE DOOMSDAY DEMENTIA
OF CHRISTIAN ZIONISM
Dispensationalist / Christian Zionist Writings From
Numerous Viewpoints
The Dispensationalist view of bible prophecy teaches that the nation of Israel is
still waiting for its kingdom and King, as well as the reception of the inheritances of the biblical 'Abrahamic Covenant'. Accordingly, they teach, the Second Coming and Great Tribulation is right around the corner to settle affairs. The political collaboration between the United States and the State of Israel is,
in part, influenced by the theo-politics brought about by the merging of Zionism
and Dispensationalism.
