Leftbehind and the Tribulation Period
Some of the most popular Leftbehind books on eschatology are based on the mythological teaching of a future Rapture of the saints on earth. The
future Tribulation Period teaching books by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins have steered so many in the wrong direction regarding the end times.
The idea that God will one day en mass remove all Christians from the earth is totally unfounded in Scripture. In fact, it is diametrically opposite to what the Biblical text says. The principle which must be kept in mind is that we're discussing judgment passages.
Christ did not leave ...
Victory of the Redeemed – Zechariah 3
February 3rd, 2010 | Preterism | No Comment
The Victory of the Redeemed, Zechariah 3. At the time of the writing of Zechariah, God's people were in trouble. Satan stood at the right hand of Joshua the high priest to oppose him. He sought to condemn the people of God. However, Joshua stood before (in the presence of) the Angel of the Lord.
The reason Satan sought to condemn Joshua (representative of the righteousness remnant of Israel) derived from verse 3 of Zechariah 3. Joshua, clothed with filthy garments declared their sinful condition. In offering the "blood of bulls and goats" he could effect no lasting cleansing and thereby ...

In view of some recent podcasts attacking the preterist position of eschatology, we want to address some of the fears and misinformation being disseminated. Are problems with Preterism imaginery ideas born of fear and ignorance? Listening to some futurist eschatology podcasts and examining their writings one would think so. However, it's always best to hear both sides of the story.
Preterism is now being defined and tagged as "extreme preterism" and "moderate preterism",and even sometimes is styled "hyper preterism" versus "partial preterism." There are other names but the purpose here is to present some distinction between the concepts above. By "extreme ...

Kenneth Gentry, a reformed scholar and partial preterist has written some great books and held debates that have been helpful to ongoing studies and debates about eschatology. However, his books are not without contradictions. It is my observation that Gentry cannot successfully debate a true Preterist or a Dispensationalist from a partial preterist perspective simply because of those inconsistencies, which by the way Dr. Thomas Ice, a Dispensationalist pointed out in their debate on the Great Tribulation.
Does Matthew 24:31 present a dilemma for partial preterist Kenneth Gentry? While offering compelling arguments on behalf of his partial preterist position, many of ...
Preterism is False, Is it True or False?

A few professors associated with Liberty
University are beginning to panic over
Preterism.
Preterism is False, Is it True or False?, is a
reply to objections raised by panicking
Dispensationalists. Preterism is a Latin
term which means past.
From the perspective of Bible prophecy,
it refers to all end times events as having
been fulfilled in the past. It is the opposite
of futurism, which holds those events to be yet to come in the future.
Dr. Edward Hinson, Assistant to the Chancellor at Liberty University
wrote an article entitled, The New Last Days Scoffers, as an attempted refutation of Preterism. The article appeared in the May 2005 issue of Jerry Falwell’s ...
