Does Israel-only Preterism limit God's plan? We examine why this view falls short of the biblical message of salvation. Some interpret prophecy as being entirely fulfilled by AD 70, yet this perspective often restricts the scope of God’s plan to ancient ethnic Israel. This lesson analyzes why that approach misses the broader, universal message of the gospel presented in scripture. We contrast these limited views with the consistent teaching of New Testament theology regarding the reach of the cross. By examining the nature of biblical salvation, we gain a clearer understanding of how the sacrifice of Christ extends to all people, rather than being confined to a specific historical era.
