This is my first visit to your web site after a search of 'Preterist'   This viewpoint is somewhat (some weeks) new to me and I am still in the 'research and consider further' mode.  Please add my e-mail address to your list (if you have one) of updates and info.

Thanks,

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus!

I have recently accepted the Preterist view as a scriptural eschatology.  I have much to unpack, could you please suggest a Preterist commentary on the book of Daniel?   Many thanks.

yours in Christ,

I find this web site to be extensive in the information presented and I visit it often for updates. I have come to accept the Preterist view and believe it to be the truth that is presented in God's word. The good news has brought great peace into my life. If any would like to e-mail me and carry on a dialog please do so. donald.west @ worldnet.att.net.

My name is Ardley Johnson, and I pastor a church in Galion, Oh. The Lord Began to reveal to me fulfilled prophecy in 1970. I've written several books and outlines on the subject, particularly Matthew 24. My e-mail in ardleyj@richnet.net . God bless you and your work in TRUTH!

I accidentally hit this home page. While I was in the States as a student, I came to know Preterism and even attended a conference for it in 1992. I was curious how the movement was going on.

Good Job!

How very pleasing to find a place with refreshing water. I thought I was alone in my thinking. I gladly find I am not. I do not however, agree 100 % with this outlook. I am close to it however.Thanks be to God for His willingness to allow such things. Thanks be to those who are working at it also.

I am new to Preterism. I am someone that reads 2 hours a day of Bible or something related. I am very impressed with Philip Mauro's writings which I have seen in this archive. I am interested in exposing some of my dearly beloved Christian friends to this teaching. The archive is very well put together and is in my "favorites" folder for the Internet. I go here often. I am interested in Preterist publications, and who I can address questions to. thank you daniel@nii.net

Great reading! I've downloaded every HTML document from this site. I've read about ½ of them and I'm very impressed. Still some questions remain, but maybe they are addressed on the material that I have not read yet. Keep up the good work. Six months ago I was not interested in eschatology at all because all the end time schemes seemed forced to me. Preterism seems to be the key that unlocks the impossible lock. May the Lord richly bless your service! Osmo Saarikumpu Turku, Finland sendosmo@hotmail.com

It was some years back since I heard of the word Preterist and this just before my introduction to the Reformed position. I'm R. Catholic at the present but thinking of applying to a Presby or CRC denomination. I work as an engineer here in the Philippines and have but just the most rudimentary knowledge regarding the Christian religion. But, by the wonderful grace of God, theology has suddenly been so attractive and appealing to me. This was a far cry from my formerly agnostic position.

I came upon this site and frankly was quite surprised at the assertions being made here particularly that of the suggestion that all prophecies mentioned in the NT have been fulfilled! I've read D. Chilton's, K. Gentry's, G. North's, G. DeMar's books (all of which have really changed the way I lived) but that didn't prepare me for this! I've scanned the pages and downloaded the same. However, you understand, as I am not a trained theologian and what with the utter slowness of the Web in this part of the world, I would like to know of the Preterist's view of the Final Judgment (I'm a postmil) and I was hoping you could send me some snippets regarding the issue or maybe references to it.

Thank you all and by the way, I appreciate your work very much.

To God be the glory! Brando

The Preterist Archive is the most extensive, well organized source of Preterist information on the Net! It's an invaluable resource to those of us who love and seek the truth! I have believed for many years, due to input from a couple of ministers that I heard years ago, and then through my own continued study on the subject, that the kingdom of God is here today, that the inheritance promised to us as believers is ours today, and that the return of Christ is not a future but a past event. To be able to read the many informative, well researched articles on this site is a great blessing, and is helping fill in many gaps in my understanding. The amount of truth we can discover if we exchange and share ideas and insights is amazing. Thank you!

Truly a pearl of great worth; a treasure hid in a field. Personally could not find scripture to support pretrib rapture despite all the hoopla. Discovered ultimate rec, now Preterist teaching, all within the last year and a half, after 65 years of profession of Christ. Together they represent the GOOD NEWS -- like cool water in a hot desert.

My name is Vinnie, I'm from NY and I was just about to walk away from Christianity when the lord showed me this website, I have found the Preterist position to be rock solid, giving me answers based in reality rather then some esoteric experience. Preterism can be proven both biblically and historically and I challenge anybody who is objective to try an find holes in the doctrine.

I don't know if you would call me a Preterist or a semi- Preterist. I believe that all prophecy was fulfilled by the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., but I do not rule out the possibility of a further, greater fulfillment in the future. In any event, it is good to have an alternative to the dispensational teaching that seems to clutter up the web.

Shalom, I have browsed through site. Looks very interesting. I am a partial Preterist. I believe that there are two stages that take place. Tanakh speaks of One day as 1,000 yrs. There has been aprox. 2,000 yrs = 2 days. According to Torah, when a worker was done at the end of that work day he was to be given his wages. I believe that at the end of the first 1,000 yrs.(one day) the believers (workers) received wages. I feel that we are coming to the end of 2nd day, again to receive wages. Not enough space or time to go into this in great detail. It might be something to think about though. Thank you. David.

At last, to know what to give as the answer to "are you pre- post or..."   I have a never heard the term Preterist. Though it makes "gramatical" sense. I was given a copy of The Parousia" by my father a few years before he died with the explanation from him that it "makes sense". He taught me the basics of Greek and Hebrew and set me off on my own. I
just wanted to say thank you for the web site and I look forward to following the links and reading ask my work schedule permits.

It's great to know that your Preterist Archive is reaching around the globe! It is so much needed! So many folks are held captive by traditionalism in Bible interpretation. It is refreshing to witness such supreme dependence on the Bible alone (and not on the uninspired creeds and confessions) in determining what the Scripture would have us believe. So often quoted, but so infrequently believed, is that old principle: "Comparing Scripture with Scripture is the key to a correct hermeneutic." You have some neat ideas on your Web page; keep up the good work for our Lord. May He see fit to bless and expand your ministry. -Walt Hibbard

Todd I want to thank you again for all your efforts building and maintaining this site. As long as you continue to be honest about what you see, state reality based facts which can be verified internally and externally not just about the Bible but any truth God chooses to share with you, you cannot go wrong. If you ever have any monetary concerns as far as this website goes let me know, I know my purpose in this life is to seek the truth and share what God has taught me with others, it truly is a wonderful life.

Greetings, I think, since beginning reading Gary Demar's book,that the preterist theory has a good chance of being the true alternative to modern-day eschatology and all of it's failures! Thanks for presenting a viable alternative. Of course, what ever GOD does is done in spite of whatever any or all men might say. abiCJ, J.B.

This is toooo cool. I am an evangelist,pastor,teacher, with an Apostolic type of anointing teaching and preaching the Word through the leading of the Holy Spirit with signs and wonder following. I am real excited about your web page and am looking forward to taking this journey into the quest for Truth.I just never have been able to swallow the thought of God or His called bailing out on His creation as long as there is hope for even one more to be set free. I am a little wilder than most, due to the fact that I was raised from the dead after having my aorta ripped out of my heart from a head on collision. The dr. said all kinds of things that I would never do, like walk, talk, or even breath right. Of course they were WRONG the WORD works! and rapture to me is within the eye of the beholder.

Brother Todd,

You have created a monster. Being a relatively an 'untechnical' kind of guy I did not really know how to attach things to my mailings. I've received them and know how to access them, but was unknowledgeable about sending them. You told me how, and since then I've learned to send from floppy disc and DIRECTLY FROM THE INTERNET. You have no idea how many messages I've sent, over the past several months, to friends and members of my former congregation to which I associate pastored regarding preterism. I've paraphrased a lot of things I've read, and have had scriptural revelation of many more things which I've shared. BUT NOW I CAN SEND COMPLETE SPECIFIC SECTIONS OF THINGS OFF THE PRETERIST ARCHIVE! PRAISE THE NAME OF JESUS! I have just sent chapter 2 of Philip Mauro's "Hope of Israel" to a Bible teacher (a very knowledgeable one) in response to my newly found 'preteristic' outlook. His "proof" of a physical, natural "coming" of
Jesus (dispensational outlook) was from the book of Zecharia, of which Mauro has an excellent exegisis - as you know.

I have been very sensitive in my communications, especially remembering my own disillusionment when I had to come to grips with all of the imminence scriptures. To be completely honest with you (and them) I did not want to confront them in any way with 'bad' theology or anything based on a faulty hermeneutic.

There is W.A. Jones on the wedsite that has written a book whereby he sees that the "end" times were 'then', but completely missed the parousia. When I wrote him asking a few questions he basically responded by saying that he would "think about revising his book, but for now would leave it the way it was". So I sent him your internet article (one of the best I ever read) and
asked him to pay particular attention to the section on the "second coming". Thank you Todd. Now I am prepared to send complete sections that I can extract directly off the archive.

I want you to know that before June of this year, I was a dispensationalist. I discovered a John L. Bray book "Matthew 24 Fulfilled" and then discovered your web site which changed my entire theological outlook. By the way, I haven't seen any Max R. King on your site. Did I oversee him? He is the most comprehensive, richest, deepest writers on Biblical exegisis I have discovered thus far. I'm sure you must have put him on your site.

Blessings to you. With all love and appreciation, Daniel T. Silvestri  daniel@nii.net

I just arrived at this site and am looking forward to studying this view more closely. In independent study of the Book of Revelation and Daniel as well as Matthew 24, I have been drawn to a study of this view, although I did not know it had a name or a following. I will gladly receive any dialogue at dsenn@telalink.net.

I just had to write and bless you for your article:

The 'Rapture' of the Saints is the Day of the Lord

I didn't know anyone believed this besides me. I sent a notification to 5 friends to read it. I am so excited to find it! If you have time, I would love to hear your thoughts on the resurrection. God has been teaching me some extraordinary things and I long to discuss these issues with someone who doesn't think I am out to lunch. :] Or with someone who at least is at the same
lunch counter!

Hi, Todd!

Thanks for your sight. I've grown up more or less historic premillenial. My interest in preterism has been piqued by starting to
read N.T. Wright's "Jesus and the Victory of God." (He was a student of GB Caird's). I'm still researching, but even if I don't end up adopting the whole view, I think I will at least adopt some aspects of it. I do think the destruction of the temple should be viewed as far more important than they are by all eschatological schools. Thanks for your sight - I'll be referring to it often!

This is a great service to those truly seeking biblical truth. the lord blessed me with the Preterist understanding starting in 1990. it is the only way that one can consistently interpret the Parousia of the scripture from a realized eschatology perspective. as I was raised in the roman catholic church with no use of the bible while growing up, I can only contribute my present understanding to "amazing grace". using the same principles of study for understanding the parousia, I, like a few other Preterists, question the literal existence of "satan" or the "devil" as is traditionally taught and believed. i welcome inquiries.

This is the first time I have visited your web site. I have been a believer in the Preterist view point on past fulfillment of Bible prophecy for a long time. This is a good web site that you have made, and with this information available on this web site the truth will prevail, and more people will come to know the truth as we do. Keep up the good work.

This is the first that I have visited your web site, It is excellent. I heard about the Preterist view for about ten years, now. It makes the Bible absolutely clear, including the resurrections, I Thess. 4:, and I Cor. 15. keep up the good work, and I will visit your site often now that I found it, and refer others to it.

God Bless you. Yours in Christ Gilbert Ehler

Todd, once again, excellent work. I'm glad you chose to include the fact that other countries visit more than America, perhaps these other countries who are Spiritually Rich will come to the aid of America when it becomes Spiritually and economically bankrupt. Although I must say, I'm not pessimistic, I do see many people Ive known through the years come to the Lord especially in this past year. I also know that the Lord will not abandon America as long as there are REAL BELIEVERS here. Keep up the good work. Behind the scenes there are many good things happening. GOD IS AWESOME!!!!

I appreciate your work. I have been a long, long time advocate of the corporate view of eschatology. Though the movement is still in its infancy in the Conservative-Bibliologist (Evangelicals) I know that it is making great strides die to the Internet. Often it is criticized for having its origins in liberal scholarship (Bultmann, Renan, Schweitzer). For a great deal, this is true. The "historical Jesus" movement stemming from Renan's "Life of Jesus" stimulated in the right direction that Jesus and the Gospel were born, in Boman's words, "on Jewish soil." Thus, must rightly be understood in that context. Who says we cannot inherit some of the wicked's scholarship? Their wealth in scholarship is stored for the Righteous as well!

Todd,

Just stopped by to say "Hi." I try and stop by the Archive at least once a week to see what's new. From now on, I will sign in just to let you know I was here.

Thank you for your support and all the work you pour into the Archive. I can't think of anything like it anywhere--cyberspace or otherwise!

I pray that our God and Saviour Jesus Christ will continue to bless you and your family.

Grace to you my friend,

    I want to thank you for letting me know about your site. After studying the material you have there I have been overwhelmingly persuaded that the Preterist position reflects the gospel with much more reality and truth that what I had previously been taught. Your site has answered questions I have had for many years. Questions I had actually been afraid to confront because I felt they were "strange", and possibly even heretical. It was with great relief that I have discovered that these same questions have been asked, and answered, by godly men throughout history and that I don't stand alone with these beliefs.

God bless,

Recently I knew about Preterism by means of a good friend and escellent brother, Jim Hendrix, who is a missionary in Coatepec, Veracruz, Mexico and a full preterist. It is the first time in mi life that I come across with this impressive way to interpret the Scripture. I am very interested in studying carefuly and dig into preterism. I already downloaded a lot of excellent stuff from this web site and am ready to start up reading and studying it. I think that the list of articles ans authors is amazingly complett, covers a lot of Story and it is fair with other preterist positions.

Tank you for the time, efforts, and toils spent on this superb enterprise.

We met Brother Todd today at Caraway Fellowship in Caraway, Arkansas. He was very interesting. Your web page is also interesting. We look forward to checking in again. We will pray for your family.

This website has been a valuable tool for me as I have been exposed to the preterist doctrine for the first time in 1998. I was a futurist and did not even know it. I can't say I am a full preterist yet, however, being exposed to the preterist doctrine has opened up a much better understanding of the scriptures to me. Thank you for this website. Dennis L.

Todd, I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas. Keep up the good work. I start my new job in NYC on 1/4/99. God's providence is awesome! My new job will require me to wear a suit. Well as you know buying suits can be expensive. The Lord worked it out perfectly, I didn't even pray about it, I was just having a conversation with the Lord about how Im going to need at least 5 suits. Well, this past week a friend suggested I go to a good will store which opened recently in my neighborhood. I took her up on it. When I got to the store I picked up 6 Brand new Designer suits for $60.00 dollars. Yep thats right!, each suit only cost me $9.99 each. God is awesome! Life is so much easier when you just give full control to God and then sit back and watch how he operates. In fact most people, Christians included are still under the Illusion they are in charge of their lives when in fact we don't even own our next heartbeat. We are as dependent on God as the sparrows are. As Christ said, apart from me you can do nothing. God Bless and remember, what the mind can conceive and believe GOD CAN ACHIEVE. Cousin Vinnie NY

Greetings Brethren,

I have just recently begun to seaarch the Scriptures to see if these things be true and I must admit there is a great deal to study, but I am "almost a believer". I have received numerous publications from John Bray, Kenneth Gentry,Foy Wallace, Kingdom Publications etc. and have not studied any topic from our Sovereign's Word as intently since I came to a thorough understanding of God's Sovereign Grace in His salvation of His elect. I am trusting Him to lead me in this endeavor and your assistance is greatly appreciated. Please pray for me that I continue to have a teachable spirit and that He will receive all the glory from my training.

By His grace and to His glory,

I had never heard of the Preterist view until I recieved the January Tabletalk magazine. I have been busy ever since looking up the boundaries in which this view lies.

I have never been satisfied with partisan-like representations of the as found in John "the last day." Born of a SBC pastor and being a paid staff member of SBC churches for 12 years, I hear the word rapture and the pre-s and post-s and .... None have even caught a brief peace in my spirit(which I pray moves according to the mind of Christ).

Your website is both impressive and informative. Thanks.

In Christ i am
