Preterism
Luke 24:47 and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
Do you think the "all" in the passage includes all humans on the planet? Let us ask another passage.
Acts 5:31 Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance TO ISRAEL and forgiveness of sins.
The passage in Acts 5 clearly answered Luke 24. He said forgiveness and repentance were given TO ISRAEL, not to all humans on the planet. And this includes the descendants of the tribes of Israel who were dispersed among the pagans. Let us look another passage where it says the people of Yahweh, the Israelites, were scattered abroad or to different pagan nations.
2Ch 6:25 then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of YOUR PEOPLE ISRAEL, and bring them back to the land which You gave to them and their fathers.
36“When they sin against You (for there is no one who does not sin), and You become angry with them and DELIVER THEM TO THE ENEMY, AND THEY TAKE THEM CAPTIVE to a land far or near; 37yet when they [e]come to themselves in the land where they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication to You in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned, we have done wrong, and have committed wickedness’; 38and when they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have been carried captive, and pray toward their land which You gave to their fathers, the city which You have chosen, and toward the temple which I have built for Your name: 39then hear from heaven Your dwelling place their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive Your people who have SINNED AGAINST You.
The people of Yahweh, the Israelites(not all humans), were letted to be carried captives to pagan lands because they sinned against Israel's God. They were the dispersed descendants of the tribes of Israel because they sinned or became disobedient to Israel's laws and statutes. They lived with the pagans for a long time. They were the "ALL" in Luke 24:47.
WHO NEEDED FORGIVENESS? only the people of Yahweh(the Israelites) who disobeyed his Old Covenant laws and statutes...never whole humanity.
