WERE THE NAZARENES THE FIRST FULL PRETERISTS?

Mentioned in Acts 24:5, the Nazarenes were recognized as the earliest Jewish followers of Jesus and were even identified with Paul himself. They were directly tied to Jesus of Nazareth, and historical records show they fled Jerusalem during the Roman siege, just as Jesus warned in Matthew 24 and Luke 21. Their beliefs may challenge many modern assumptions about early Christianity and prophecy.
