0 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
The Preterists like KJVonly believe that every prophecy in the Mount of Olives prophecies in Matthew 24 and 25, Mark 13 an Luke 21 and every prophecy in Revelation were totally completed in AD 70??? Preterist ministers do not believe in heaven as a place. He believed that heaven was only a spiritual existence, NOT a literal place. I asked him about the streets of gold and the gates of pearl, he didn't believe they were literal. I asked him about the mansions which Jesus spoke of in John 14:1-2, he denied those also as being physical homes. Preterists also believe the present earth will never be destroyed and that God's Kingdom is only in this present earth????
Let us quote some of the prophecies in in Matthew 25 and Revelation 21:1-5 that could not have happened in ad 70!!
Daniel 12::1-2: There will be a time of distress such as not happened from the beginning of nations until then {The 42-month Great Tribulation}. But at that time your people--everyone whose name is found in the {LAMB'S} Book-- will be delivered. Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake; some everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt!!
Matthew 25:31-34,41,46: Jesus prophesied, "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before Him, an He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on His right and the goats on His left. **THEN** the King will say to those on his right. Come, you are blessed by My Father ; take your inhreritance , the Kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world... "Then He will say to those on His left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared fror the Devil and his angels....**THEN** they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life!"
**WE**{*ALL BORN AGAIN SAINTS*} ARE ALL WAITING FOR THE NEW EARTH, THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE HEAVENLY NEW JERUSALEM!!
Revelation 21:1-5: Then I saw a **NEW HEAVEN** and a **NEW EARTH**, for the {present} first heaven and first earth **HAD PASSED AWAY**, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the **NEW JERUSALEM**, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making **EVERYTHING NEW**!" Then He said, "Write this down, for these words are TRUSTWORTHY and TRUE!"
**THIS IS THE MAIN HOPE OF ALL BORN AGAIN SAINTS**
John 18:36: Jesus says, "MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD. If it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jewish lleaders. But **MY KINGDOM IS FROM ANOTHER PLACE!!"
According to Revelation 22:18,19 it is an unpardonable sin to **TAKE WORDS AWAY ** from the prophecies in Revelation!!
There are about 20 prophecies in the New Testament that absolutely could not have happened in AD 70 so apparently the Preterists are **FALSE PROPHETS**!!
Matthew 22:30: Jesus says, "At the Resurrection people will neither marry or be given in marriage {Have sexual relations or children}, they will be **LIKE** the angels in heaven,
If the resurrection was in AD 70 why were people still marrying and having children after AD 70??
John 14:23: Jesus says, :My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you, I wwill come back and take you to to be with me that you also may be with Me that you also may be where I am!"
"I Corinthians 15:20-24: But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the **FIRSTFRUITS of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the Resurrection from the dead comes also through a Man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ **ALL WILL BE MADE ALIVE**. But each in turn: Christ the Firstfruits, THEN, WHEN HE COMES, **THOSE WHO BELONG TO HIM**. Then the **END** will come, when He hands over the Kingdom to God the Father!
"In reincarnation it is appointed unto man once to die, then be judged and come back according to the judgment."

Pagan reincarnation definition - "the rebirth of a soul in a new body. A person or animal in whom a particular soul is believed to have been reborn. A new version of something from the past.
Why Zech did you use a pagan word like "reincarnation" to describe an event of a one day judgment of Saints AND a separate judgment of the wicked to eternal death in a lake of fire unto eventually ashes? That pagan word has NOTHING to do with Biblical discussion on the state of the dead and when life is restored to the sleeping dead.
Notice the confusion of the pagan definition, that a "soul" exist outside a body. Lol! It even mentions animals have "souls" and those "souls" can be "reborn" someday, as if the "soul" is the life force within the animal also, just like humans. Lol! Humans and animals ARE souls! Genesis 2:7! Not have a "soul" placed inside them!
Lets look at the better part of the definition of "reincarnation" when it says "A new version of something from the past" in its description of it all to that of what the BIBLE actually says on the subject.
2 Corinthians 5:1 (KJV) "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."
2 Corinthians 5:1 (CJB) "We know that when the tent which houses us here on earth is torn down, we have a permanent building from God, a building not made by human hands, to house us in heaven."
So there you have it friends, the Bible is clear also that humans can only exist with a body and that whole person/soul or body/soul/spirit exist as a unit all together NOW and when dead all of it dies. The "tent" that we dwell in NOW will die eventually but resurrection day is when the Saints will get a "permanent building or tent/tabernacle" that is "eternal in the heavens", the Saints body/soul/spirit house made new by Yah in heaven. Please read 2 Corinthians 5:1-10 in its context on the subject.
So when are the Saints that are NOW sleeping and those alive found and "preserved blameless" come judgment and His return?
1 Thessalonians 5:23 (KJV) 23. "And the very Yahweh of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray Yahweh your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Messiah Yah'shua."
1 Thessalonians 5:23 (CJB) 23. May the Yahweh of shalom make you completely holy — may your entire spirit, soul and body be kept blameless for the coming of our Master Yah'shua the Messiah.
So yes KJVO gave you the correct verse that sums it all up about death and resurrection day and judgment, when she quoted - "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" of all mankind.
“Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: ‘Death is swallowed up in victory.’ ”
Our “earthly house” refers to our mortal bodies of flesh; “this tabernacle” refers to this temporal realm, the tabernacle of the material heavens and earth. (Ps. 104:2 – God stretches out the heavens likes the curtain of a tent.) Dissolution of our earthly house speaks to putting off the body in death. The “building of God, not made with hands, eternal in the heavens” speaks to our immortal, immaterial, and spiritual bodies. These are received and enjoyed in heaven, not upon a “new earth.”
II Cor. 5:2, 3: “For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven. If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.”
In the resurrection, we are clothed with our immaterial and immortal house from heaven, not our fleshly, mortal bodies of earth. “Naked” speaks to putting off the body of flesh in death; “clothed” speaks to putting on the spiritual body in the resurrection of life.
II Cor. 5:6-8: “Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.”
Could the apostle have made it more plain? We would be absent from the body of flesh that we might be at home with the Lord. If, in the resurrection we are reunited with the body, we will be at home in the body and absent from the Lord! Clearly, that is no part of the Christian’s hope.
II Cor. 5:10: "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."
This verse, following hard upon the heels of those going before, which so clearly proclaim that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, makes clear that in the judgment men will not be clothed with houses of clay. That they are to receive the things done while in the body clearly implies that at the judgment they would be in the body no more. They have passed from this life and put off their bodies of clay and gone to be judged for the things done while still in the flesh.
Gal. 3:3: “Are ye so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?”
Those who hold that the “spirits of just men made perfect” (Heb. 12:23) must be reunited with the flesh to be complete and inherit eternal life, fall under the like condemnation Paul reproaches the Galatians with. The completion of man’s salvation is the union of spirit with God in heaven, not being newly clothed upon with bodies of clay.
Heb. 11:13, 17: “These all died in faith, not having receive d the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on earth…But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.”
Note that the patriarchs and great men of faith were strangers upon earth and looked for an heavenly city and country. The notion that man’s eternal state is in a material new earth is childish in its understanding and literalism and boarders on being heretical. It is the stuff of Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons. It is an express denial of the scripture.
Heb. 12:23: “To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect.”
The spirits of the righteous who died before Christ were not wanting bodies, but atonement. With the “blood of sprinkling” (v. 22) they were made wholly perfect and the way into heaven opened to them. What need have they of fleshly bodies seeing they are already perfect? Moreover, the general assembly of the firstborn (the church) are written in heaven, not a new earth. Our conversation is in heaven (Phil. 3:20); we are to set our affections there (Col. 3:1) because that is the place of our eternal abode. (Heb. 12:10, 13, 16)
I Pet. 4:6: “For for this cause was the gospel preached also unto them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.”
This verse seems to speak to the saints of prior ages who had the gospel preached to them in the types and similitudes of the Old Law. Although condemned by the law according to men in the flesh, they were justified by the atoning blood of Christ that they might live according to God in the spirit. To be reunited with bodies of clay is no part of the divine purpose.
Rev. 20:12, 13: “And I saw the dead, small and great stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.”
Here is imagery portraying judgment day. We note that physical bodies are conspicuously absent. The dead stand before God. That they are “dead,” signifies they are on the other side of eternity in the realm of the spirit, not upon earth. The “sea” is symbolic of tartarus, the place of the lost dead; “hell” (hades) speaks to paradise, the place of the saints and martyrs. The dead come forth from hades tartarus and paradise to receive their respective rewards. The whole transaction is portrayed as occurring in the realm of the spirit, not the flesh, in the immaterial realm of eternity, and not time.
Conclusion
The error of the Jews and early church has been kept alive by those today who look for a fleshly resurrection upon earth. The earthly resurrection of the believer is related to the error of the bodily, visible return of Christ and the bodily rapture of the saints. By very definition, the spiritual realm is eternal and immaterial. Flesh and blood bodies are bounded by time and space and therefore cannot inherit incorruption. Let us hold fast to our hope for we will reap in due time if we faint not.
I didn't mention "soul" or "animals" or any "pagan" ideas. All you did what build a strawman then knock it over and proudly puff out your chest.
If you want to be "real" find scripture about denying reincarnation. I'm not denying a 'Great Judgment' or 'Harvest of Souls' at the end of all things.
Jesus said; "...even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him."
