What is the Preterist View?
Is the End of the World near? Are we living in the Last Days? Is Christ’s return at hand? For 150 years here in America we have constantly been told that we are living on the threshold of the End of the World and Christ’s Return. Prediction after prediction has failed to materialize, and false hope after false hope has been foisted upon the Christian community. Many Christians have been disillusioned, and are already looking for more reasonable explanations. Some have been so disillusioned they left the faith altogether. And the secular media (who are always looking for an excuse) are further discrediting Christianity because of it. Something is terribly wrong with traditional views of Bible Prophecy. There is a serious need to re-examine the whole issue of Last Things.Bible prophecy can be understood, but Futurist views have fallen far short for many reasons: their extreme physical/literalizing approach, their seeming inability to distinguish between figurative and literal language, and their failure to properly take into account the historical-grammatical-cultural context of the prophecies (specifically what they meant to their original audience). Even the most difficult prophetic passage comes alive when approached properly. It is time to look at some alternatives, and the Preterist view is a great place to start.
“Preterist” means past in fulfillment, and “Futurist” means future in fulfillment. Preterist basically means the opposite of Futurist. Futurists believe most end-time prophecies (especially the big three events — the Second Coming, Resurrection, and Judgment) are yet to be fulfilled. Preterists believe that most or all of Bible Prophecy (especially the big three events) has already been fulfilled in Christ and the on-going expansion of His Eternal Kingdom. Many Futurists do not really believe that Christ has been successful in fully establishing His Kingdom. They think it was indefinitely postponed when the Jews rejected and crucified Jesus.
The Preterist interpretation of Bible prophecy is capturing significant media attention, and according to one critic, is “spreading like wildfire” in the social media. It is compatible with the essential beliefs of all Christians, and is already represented in nearly all Protestant denominations and the Roman Catholic Church. It has been mentioned several times in publications such as Christianity Today, Christian News, Great Christian Books catalog, World Magazine, and several others. Hundreds of preterist books, eBooks, video and audio resources are available, with many more in the works. There are dozens of preterist websites, and several online podcasts, one of which is the Then and Now podcast whichis an excellent is an excellent example, you will find a link on this site. Also a quarterly preterist newsletter (Fulfilled magazine), you willl also find a link to it on the links page.
