| Summary: | Abstract: The following article evaluates two common arguments for preterist interpretations of Mark 13:24-27, collectively dubbed the ‘time-text’ argument.

Owing to these problems, the arguments and preterist interpretations should be rejected in favour of more plausible futurist interpretations. |
