Signs of the End Times
No teaching appears to have challenged the status quo on the signs of the end times as has Preterism. As more people become aware of it, more literature and speeches begin to reflect this pendulum swing in the right direction. In time, this can only mean that more people will understand the true significance of the Old Covenant promises and the new people of God.
It is the common belief of Dispensational Premillennialism that the state of Israel is the fulfillment of prophecy.

Premillennial Preterism
Premillennial Preterism is the term ascribed to those who believe that Christ returned in judgment upon Jerusalem in A.D. 70, not to end the millennium already in progress, but to
begin the millennium of a 1000 years. Unlike Premillennialism espoused by Lindsay and other Leftbehind advocates which holds the millennium to be yet future, it suggests the thousand years reign commenced in AD 70 and is ongoing.
As such, it shares partly in the "present millennium" view of Amillennialism only differing in the time of inception by 40 years. Amillennialist teach that the millennium began in A.D. 30, following the ...

Three Assumptions of Premillennialism
To accept the doctrine of Premillennialism involves the acceptance of certain views. We refer to these as the Three Assumptions of Premillenialism.

Premillennialism Assumption No. 1: All Prophecy Must Be Literally Interpreted
This assumption, advanced with evangelistic fervor ignores the genre of literature of the Old Testament prophets. They often spoke in metaphor and hyperbole, using many different figures of speech to get their messages across. Such ...

Palestinian Christians Suffer Racism
It's probably obvious that a discussion on the end time is very unlikely to proceed to any great length without including references to Matthew 24. Such is the case with the 10 Road Signs of Dooms Day - A Countdown of Deception. We now address the seventh of these signs offered in "Beginning of the End" by John Hagee. The reason we focused on these signs is not because of the author, but because of the influence of the system of eschatology, i.e. Dispensational Premillennialism's detrimental effects on society and foreign policy.
And, although the system is ...

Eschatology: Study of the End Times
The first time I heard the world eschatology, I
thought, es-ka-what-ology? That was more
than two decades ago.
In this post, we’ll talk about Eschatology in
Bible Prophecy, Can We Understand It? But
first things first, and number one on the
agenda is a working definition.
Before we get to the “technical” issues, let
me share my journey with you, —briefly. I
learned this subject by simply reading the
text, particularly from Luke chapter 21:20–22.
Those verses literally changed my world on end times studies in more ways than this brief space allows. Suffice it to say, that the direction it pointed was 180 degrees ...
