Opening Discussion With Bingolly1 About Revelation

[tmac1237GX]

Antiochus Epiphanes died at least 100 years before Christ. In Matthew 24, Christ warns His people about the "abomination of desolation" to come.

All this is cleared up on my website: seventh-dayadventism com

ALL NON-ADVENTIST INTERPRETATIONS are usually wrong. The people with the wrong interpretations don't hold Revelation Seminars. THEIR JOB IS TO STOP INTEREST IN THESE END-TIME PROPHECIES the Lord has given His people.

Excellent intro. I would actually define preterism differently. To me, preterists are those who believe the majority of the prophecies (but not necessarily all) were fulfilled in the pasts just as futurists are those who believe the majority (but not all) are to be fulfilled in the future. Those who think everything is in the past including the second coming I would call "hyperpreterists".

[labarum312]

It may be sematics but as you know many futurists like LaHaye and Ice try to blur the differences between the two types of preterism to "poison the well" and lump men like R. C. Sproul in with hyperpreterists.

If you haven't seen my two follow up videos please take a look at them. I would be interested to know what category, if any, that you would put this belief of Revelation in. Frankly, I have never found anyone else who sees it this way.  I would be interested in your opinion on this. Strange thing is that I know what I believe and am saying but do not really know if I fall into any of the known categories on this topic. Your knowledge and help is always appreciated. Thank you and GBU.

[mtzion211]

Yes, I understand. Some are partial preterists, full preterists, and now hyperpreterists. I do not know if I am 100% right but I consider all of them preterists as a group. In the strictest sense you are correct. Truthfully, I have just studied the Bible to know what I believe. At times I go out looking for similar interpretations figuring there has to be someone out there. Thanks for the post and GBU.

This is a very good opening presentation Mtzion. I can sense your desire to seek an understanding of God's truth and not our truth. I have mentioned to you before that we share many things alike but say them in different ways.  Thank you as well for agreeing to do this. As you it is my desire to understand each other and at the same time offer whatever we can to help others. May the Holy Spirit guide you as we undertake this project. GBU

Thank you for your kind words. May the Lord's will be done always and in everything. I pray that this discussion and exchange will not only be a blessing to each of us but also to the viewers. God bless!
