Dr. Alan Kurschner explained why Matthew 24:5 has not been fulfilled as preterists claim. This is a key prophecy from Jesus’ Olivet Discourse that is deeply problematic for preterist interpreters.
“For many (πολλοὶ) will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will mislead many” (Matt 24:5)
Preterists assume that there was a proliferation of messianic pretenders between the time of Christ and the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70.
In fact, the historical documentation reveals, mostly from Josephus, that there were only two messianic pretenders during this time. A far cry from “many” (πολλοὶ).
Listen and find out who they were.
