I've read almost every version/translation of the Wars of the Judeans, including the Slavonic. This is by far the most descriptive, and also my favorite. It is the only translation that says that Nero was killed by fire from the Lord, while hunting in the country. I've uploaded the 1706 and 1567 translations.

Not only does the Bible back the full Preterist view, but so does recorded history.
"Elements"
Greek: Stoikion
In context "stoikion" never refers to the physical world or the elements on the periodic table, but always denotes the elementary principles of the Old Covenant.

When speaking to his disciples, Jesus said that some of them would not die before his return, and that those who had died under the law would be judged (the resurrection of Daniel 12) according to their works.
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
(Matthew 16:27 - 28)
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. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:13-13)
We are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus, not of works. "There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ."
Hell, Hades, Sheol... was a holding place for those who had died under the law, without a redeemer; those who were to be judged according to their works.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:54 - 57
Death and hell were defeated at the cross.

Did you know that the word "antichrist" was used only five times by the apostle John in the New Testament, and never refers to one particular individual? John states that antichrist is "already in the world."
• 1 John 2:18 (KJV) “ye have heard that antichrist shall come.”
• 1 John 2:18 (KJV) ” even now are there many antichrists.“
• 1 John 2:22 (KJV) “He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.”
• 1 John 4:3 (KJV) ” this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.”
• 2 John 1:7 (KJV) “For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.”
Who was the man of sin? He was a man of “lawlessness” who has no regard for God’s laws (born without the law, a Gentile). This “man of sin” was a “son of perdition” that was born for destruction.
Can you think of a first century ruler who fits this description?
