I'm reading through Luke 21, and I have a couple questions I hoped you guys could answer. The first is in verses 12-19: for it appears to be talking about persecution, however, is this the Great Tribulation? This persecution appears to be talking about Christians, which brings up another question: what is the significance of the foretelling of the Abomination of Desolation (destruction of the temple in AD 70)? This affects Jews no doubt, but how does this relate to the Christians of that day? It just seems strange to me. Right now I lean toward amillennialism, although I am definitely open toward postmillennialism-- if you answer, please let me know what perspective you are answering with.
Additional question: Are some postmillennialists partial-preterists? Do they believe that the tribulation happened in AD 70 or that it has yet to come?
