Critical: Dave Hunt on Preterism: "they put out a statement a few years ago that all the promises to Israel were fulfilled in the time of Joshua. Now Joshua lived 110 years, these are everlasting promises, this is an everlasting covenant, everlasting possession of this land. And we would only have to go to, I mean, there are hundreds of prophecies promising Israel be restored. " // On Hyper Preterism: "They claim that Jesus Christ returned in fulfillment of His promise to come back to take us to heaven, He returned in the person of the Roman armies to destroy Jerusalem and to excommunicate Israel, and Israel is finished. Now if that is not wicked, and if that is not twisting the scriptures I don’t know what is."

CommentsCan't wait for the book to come out! Preachers, be ready for a flood of interest.
CommentsA man so blinded by his emotional connection to his eschatology that NO OTHER view could possibly be right, or he wrong, is just what the Church is filled with today? A classic example is Jack Van Impe.
CommentsI understand Jack did some math and determined that a Biblical Generation is 53 years, and that the last possible date for Christs return is 2017, up until which time books and tapes will be sold.
CommentsA serious attempt to disprove preterism might have addressed the question of whether the prophecies in the book of Revelation are to be understood literally to begin with. Dr. Van Impe knows his audience though, as evidenced by Rexella's last statement.
CommentsIgnorance is nothing to scorn. As I recall, for over 20 years I held the EXACT SAME BELIEFS as the prophecy-mongers like Jack and Rexella. I am the most stubborn man who has ever walked the earth -- I pay no attention to anyone other than my own thoughts -- and if I can be shown that preterism is the beginning of true understanding, then anyone can. To me, this factionalization among Christians has always been the most disturbing aspect of that faith. There is need for calm, contemplative analysis and rebuttal. Jeering at the dispensationalists is wrong, just as Jack is wrong to jeer at the preterists. Who is it that changes hearts? Is it you?
CommentsJack, if you are so right, why don't you have a debate with Don Preston? R.K.M.
CommentsHa! what a laugh! -too bad we can't get ole Jack and Roxella on TV down here in Oz [maybe we should be counting our blessings :) I noticed one of Roxella's responses was given as "(unintelligible)" -that I believe is an apt description of their dispensational circus. Jack say: "Where is He? Where is He?" -sounds an awfull lot like the scoffers of 2Pt 3:3-4. davo
CommentsSorry, that should read Rexella, not Roxella. davo
CommentsRev. 5:6 says there is a slain lamb with seven eyes and seven horns in heaven. Come on now when did that ever happen? That will never happen literally. Revelation is unveiling the spiritual realm by way of symbols (Rev. 1:1). Look at how Jesus is revealed in Revelation; not once is it a literal depiction of Him. It is funny, the more these people (who are our brothers and sisters by the way) try to stamp out preterism the more they fan the flame! Duncan
CommentsThe old questions, again and again. Perhaps Mr. Van Impe will be happy when he will see the blood, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs. I think nobody can persuade Mr. Van Impe, only God or the time. Gabor
CommentsI would like to know where the Bible says anything about a "European Nation" or a "Fifth Generation Computer". Where did this guy learn to read? I did a word search and never found any of these words. I guess if you can't find what you want you just make up your own Bible. Is this guy for real?
CommentsThe fact that VanImpe dismisses a preterist view as a farce is clearly demonstrated by his comments, even in how he pronounces it. It is clear that he has not examined the historical facts and is unwilling to look at any other Biblical interpretations other than his own. That is sad because numerous Bible students flock to him and others, as the expert. He is probably very much afraid of our movement, because it threatens his power and credibility. I would have more respect for the man if he would attempt a serious refutation, but he can't even do that. I would hate to be him and have to answer to the Lord for leading millions of people doctrinally astray. Brethren, we still have a lot of work to do amongst the community of believers! Let the book (he mentions) come out and we will joyfully refute it.
CommentsThe man sounds like he might loose his wonderful T.V. program, if he has to go out on the limb and mix it up with Preterist. PWB
CommentsI have watched Dr. Van Impe's broadcasts occasionally out of curiosity and for entertainment value. There is another question here besides whether Dr. Van Impe could successfully defend his teaching against preterism in a serious discussion. I mean, this is a man who says one week that the image of the beast will be a clone of the Antichrist. Another week he said it would be a robot, with a human (presumably the Antichrist's) brain - a cyborg. This is a man who has said on his program that if we ever send astronauts to other solar systems, they will find them populated with demons because the demons fell from the third heaven and now inhabit the second. Some non-Christians suggest that TV preachers themselves do not even believe what they preach. They merely preach it because it gets people to send money. I never used to believe that, but Dr. Van Impe's ideas really make me wonder...
CommentsIt's guys like Van Imp that has caused me to accept the past fulfilled view! He continues to quote scripture out of context! It's the Jack Van Impe space ship once again! Sorry Jack, your the one who is out in left field! Your Hermeneutics are pure literalism!
CommentsJack makes the scoffers of Peters days look really great right about now! JB
CommentsThe fact of the matter is that if the Lord hasnt openned your eyes to the truth in the scriptures you will continue in your blind thinking. If Christ was the final prophet and he was then his prophecies had to be proven and they WERE. Let those that scorn us continue, I know what is in my Bible and I know that we I pass from this life to the next it will be with Christ and not some limbo state waiting around for a "RAPTURE" If the preterist movement is so far off base then why do people get in such an uproar. It is very possible that the "expert" prophecy thinkers are in fact WRONG. They have devised a plan that fits their way of thought but they have removed piece of the eschatological puzzle and tried to place it where it cannot fit. Finally why did Christ go to so much trouble to tell those believers and Jews of that day over and over again that, "this generation shall not pass" if He did not me their genetation? Let them wait around for the rapture and well see them waiting around another billion years from now. Christ did come and He is on the throne, thank GOD. William Williams ps sorry for the spelling
CommentsDuped Christian Zionists don't understand that God's special relationship with the temporary and merely typifying natural Israel ended forever at the time of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, the true, spiritual and eternal Israel. FUTURISTIC Zionists believe that special relationship will be resumed in an imminent Jewish millennium. PRETERISTIC Zionists believe that special relationship continued during a 40-year Jewish millennium, AD 30-70. Both beliefs are false and demeaning. When an OT type was fulfilled, the type passed away forever in the sight of God.
CommentsI’m going to pray that all of your eyes be opened. You just need to scratch the surface of the European Union to know that they’re foundation is the treaty of Roam. Does this mean nothing to you? Do you know that they are thinking of changing their name to United States of Europe? Might just be a long shot but all three of these main words have 6 characters in them. If all prophases have taken place then tell me what the number of the name is when referring to the Beast.
CommentsIf you would study the Bible for just a little while I think you will begain to see the truth in what Jack teaches. If you listen to what he is saying and look at what is going on in the world you will see it is all coming togeather jsut like he says. At one time I didn't beleave this teaching either, but the more I have studied the more I find Jack is right. I think you need to take a closer look!
CommentsWell I just want to say that Jack is right on thew money this time. None of those things could of happened back in 70AD. I say this because the British descendant peoples, also known as modern day Isreal, (the lost ten tribes of Isreal, including Britain, America, Canada and Australia and New Zealand) are yet going to enter a time of judgement. Possibly by another revived German army that will head the European superpower.
CommentsJack, another example of your lack of wisdom and understanding. Revelation 4:1 does not say that these are the ones (rightheous saints) who are raptured up, through the "come up hither," The voice was Christ's invitation for John to see what was transpiring in heaven, it was a revelation of God. Jack, I suggest you read again Rev 1:1-3, God sent and signified his message by an angel to John "who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testomony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw". Jack, did you catch that? "TO ALL THINGS THAT HE SAW", so you see Jack, John was having a vision, John himself said "Immediately I was in the spirit" Rev 4:2, "Come up hither" was not some beam me up cosmic event from Star Trek. Christians are making the serious mistake of building theology around one verse or part verse, mixing truth with error. A verse taken out of context is nothing more than a pretext, the bible explains itself when studied in context with the immediate chapter and the whole book. Search the scriptures for the truth, "For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little" Asaiah 28:10 What is truth? Precious light is to shine forth from the word of God, and let no one presume to dictate what shall or what shall not be brought before the people in the messages of enlightenment that He shall send, and so quench the Spirit of God. Whatever may be his position of authority, no one has a right to shut away the light from the people. When a message comes in the name of the Lord to His people, no one may excuse himself from an investigation of its claims. No one can afford to stand back in an attitude of indifference and self-confidence and say: I know what is truth. I am satisfied with my position. I have set my stakes, and I will not be moved away from my position, whatever may come. I will not listen to the message of this messenger for I know that it cannot be truth. It is from pursuing this very course that popular churches are left in partial darkness, and that is why the messages of heaven have not reached them. Beware of rejecting that which is truth. The great danger with people has been that of depending upon men, and making flesh their arm. Those who have not been in the habit of searching the Bible for themselves, or weighing evidence, have confidence in the leading men, and accept the decisions they make; and thus many will reject the very messages God sends to His people, if these leading brethren do not accept them. Do not read the word in the light of former opinions; but, with a mind free from prejudice, search it carefully and prayerfully. If, as you read, conviction comes, and you see that your cherished opinions are not in harmony with the word, do not try to make the word fit these opinions. Make your opinions fit the word. Do not allow what you have believed or practiced in the past to control your understanding. . . .Find out what is written, and then plant your feet on the eternal Rock. Proverbs 4:5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
CommentsPreterists and dispensationalists are unable to understand what really happened in the first century. First the old, temporary, hopelessly fallen, natural Israel was SPIRITUALLY RE-CREATED in the moment of Christ's resurrection in AD 30 as the new, spiritual and eternal Israel (Christ and the church) and then the old, temporary, hopelessly fallen natural world was SPIRITUALLY RE-CREATED in the moment of the resurrection of the dead in Christ at his parousia on the last day of the true first century as the new, spiritual and eternal world of Rev. 21,22.
CommentsJack Van Impe has been trying to predict the second coming of Christ for over 30 years now. When will he realize that no man knows the exact day.

Commentspreterism is a lie from the pit of hell. do you who hold these views actually think your right. your beliefs contradict the bible and every prophetic teaching. the rapture,1 corrintians 15:51-57and 1 thessalonians 4:13-18. you cant avoid it. if your truly saved than your going up with us whether you like it or not.dont you think that if these events were in the past they would be documented in other books besides the bible. your morons in christ, an ignorant believer or maybe not one at all. but i still love you . dont you know in the last days ther shall be nothing but false doctrines 2timothy 4:3-4 is describing preterism and beliefs like it. you people believe that its all over with,your so wrong ,we cant know the day or the hour but we can know the season. and let me tell you were about to be harvested.you people get fueled by your pridefull hearts and wont even take the time to search both sides of the issue fairly. iam only 20 years old and can pick up the bible and see that what jack van impe and others like him are saying is the biblical truth. i pray for you all that you will see the truth because what you believe and the motives behind them may be more dangerous than you think. jack van impe is a modern day paul,dont get me wrong he is only a man , but he is a man of god writely dividing the word of truth and for that i respect him. remember anti preterism believers 2timothy 3:12-17 is a christians walk. you who have know problems or persecutions need to search your salvation.the rapture is very near we dont have much time left down here. keep wathing he at the doorand your redemption its drawing nye. love your friend in christ. kyle
CommentsI'm not sure whats Mr. Van Impes' view but I know there is only one Bible thats the AV 1611 KJV and Iknow in 1st.thessalonians 4:15,16 talks about the Gathering of Gods chosen and any that walks with and BELIEVES that Jesus Christ is Gods only begotton Son could understand the KJV. there fore they could read Matt.24:32 the parable of the fig tree would know the fig tree is the Israel nation and it needed to become a nation and it did in 1948 and it goes on to say that all things must come to past in this generation.
CommentsFor one thing if everything came to pass in 70 ad no one would be here because the KJV says saton is going to be bound up and Christ is going to rain for a thousand years then saton will be loosed for a little season then Heaven and Earth will be distroyed which would have taken place around 1070 to1071ad. I my self am looking forward to meeting my lord in a cloud in the air as 1st.Thess 4:15,16 says with in the next 2 to 5 or 6 years you can stay here for the tribulation, and the battle of armagedon, as for William Williams you need despritly to get a KJV and ask Gods forgivness and ask him to help you understand what you read. Evangelist J.G
CommentsDear Jack&Roxella, First,Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! I want to thank you first for saying nice things about the Catholic Church and Pope John Paul 11. It's so refreshing to hear your ministry praising Christian Catholics. Jack, I have a question to ask you regarding Jesus' Second Coming. Why do you teach not one but two Second Comings; namely, a secret rapture, and then Judgement Day when Jesus returns? Majority of Protestants I am told do not believe in what your teaching when it comes to the rapture. Another question is why is there a division among you concerning this teaching? The Catholic Church teaches that yes there will be Jesus' Second Coming ONE time to Judge the living and the Dead on Judgement Day and His Kingdom will have no end. He instructs us not the dwell on His return, but when He does, the whole World will know it! It won't be a secret. The dead will be raised first and the we who are alive will be caught up to meet Him in the air. Judgement of souls will be swift on that day. They will be sifted like wheat. Jack, the Catholic Church wants you to come home since you are on fire for Jesus. However, you have not in your ministry the whole truth revealed by Jesus; namely, that the sinner's prayer is unbiblical. Yes, Jesus suffered, died and was raised from the dead for the forgiveness of sins for all. But, Jack we have built in us free will. The choice to do good or evil. Accept or reject God. The Catholic Church teaches with authority that we are saved by our Lord Jesus Christ if we continue to live a holy life and fall from grace by rejecting God. Just look at Satan as an example of this. Lucifer knew Jesus but wasn't saved, because he rejected God. It's not enough to know Jesus, we must act out of love for Jesus and others. Faith and Works. Truth and Love go hand and hand. God Bless you, Anita
CommentsIf you think were going through the tribulation you might want to read in the AV. KJV. vs.Matt 25:6. Luke 12:43;21:28,36. 1Thess 1:10;4:16-18;5:6,8-9. Rev 3:3,10;4:1. Gen 19:22 Isa 26:20-21.
CommentsI believe we are living in the last days / continue to preach as you have done in the past / man may distort what God has said ,but they will not stop it from coming to past. LOOK Up for our redemtion draweth near. god bless.
CommentsJack, This is for the lady Anita who says the sinners prayer is unbiblical. Jesus says" no man commeth unto the father but by me" He also says " ye must be born again to enter the Kingdom of Heaven"This is what we witness to unsaved people which we are taught in Evangelism Explosion class.I've seen people come to Christ who say' Jesus, I'm a sinner,I know you are the son of God and you died on the cross and your shed blood will save me from eternal damnation.I ask you to come into my heart and forgive me for my sins and I may be your child.I ask this in the name of the Father,Son and Holy Ghost, Amen " This is a prayer that we call a "sinners prayer" I've seen alcoholics quit drinking and their jobs saved,families saved, and marriages saved through this simple prayer. Ted
CommentsWHAT DO YOU THINK OF TEXE MARRS?
CommentsPreterism is a very dangerous teaching. Jesus commanded us to watch and pray. Obviously, Preterists aren't doing this. I know Preterists believe all prophecy was fulfilled in 70 A.D. If this is true, how do you explain Israel, The European Union, The Arab-Israeli conflict, the Russian-Islamic alliance, the use of nuclear weapons, the move toward dividing the land of Israel (Dan. 11:39), the trouble with Iraq, trouble with North Korea, and hundred pound hailstones? Just to name a few. it's not likely that these things are just a coincidence. God bless. Rick
Commentsall GLORY to JESUS, rememeber the bible says in the last days there will be false teachers and false prophets , we should just trust the holy spirit and also may GOD give us a decerning spirit,it also syas people will not listemn to sound doctrines they will turn to fabels,can i just say one thing if JESUS ressurected which we true christian beleve abd ascended into heaven and eyes saw him , why cant he come back and all eyes will see him ? JESUS also said to them o you of little faith, is that the case today?. Jesus has not yet come and we are waiting for him to come and rapture us out of the devils world for now, all theses teachers who try and bring there philosophy to the bible or their theology the bible is not compicated we make it complicated so we can look smart ,dont try and teach GOD let GOD teach you through the HOLY SPIRIT, the scripture also teaches he who lacks wisdom should ask , do we ask or we try and interprete it still, let the HOLY SPIRIT BE YOUR TEACHER, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH. GOD BLESS YOU. IF YOU WANT TO WRITE TO ME AT MY E-mail IT IS PISTAL20002@YAHOO.COM ALL GLORY TO THE TRUE LIVING GOD AND HIS MIGHTY SON REMEMBER THE REVELATIONS SCRIPTURE JESUS BEHOLD I COME QUICKLY AND I HAVE MY REWARD WITH ME.MY BROTHERS STAY AWAY FRO SATANIC DOCTRINES.

CommentsI'm not sure what a Preterists is. Will some one explain it to me. Does it have anything to do with Christianity? Doesn't sound like it. Most of you sound like you're trying to impress the rest of us with your intelligence by making sure we realize we aren't smart enough to have an opinion of our own. None of your comments helped me to understand your belief system. Just that to believe whatever Jack had to say makes me an idiot.
CommentsJack Van Impe is 100% correct, and your view is 100% wrong. I study the same verses as he does, and I get the same answers Jack Van Impe does
CommentsI believe the Bible is being revealed today like it has never been revealed before. If you don't believe what the Bible says, don't be surprised if you are still here when the rapture occurs. The Bible says He is coming for those who are watching for Him. Be careful what you say that God says or didn't say.
CommentsWhew! What a mess. I too have heard Jack and what COULD be in the coming days - Robot, clone cyborg - look around you and see - these things are possible - though perhaps not very practical. The main issue he team is God is LOVE. God is unchanging. Throughout the 2 millinium? So many translations of God's Word - so much misunderstanding. First off, Pretrib Rapture? I think Jack is right... the reasons I say this are found in all the passages that say what to expect during the last days... then a follow up with "you shall not know the day or time". Intellectually now, explain to me how is it that we don't know the day or the hour, if there is no rapture, when in fact we will all see the day when the 7 yr peace is declared and we will see the day when the AC proclaims himself God in the New Temple. MT 24 and LK 17 says multiple times that two shall be and one shall be taken... taken where? If those that are taken are evil during the first harvest... and the church is left behind... what about the 144,000 missionaries to proclaim God? To whom? That means Post Trib doesn't work... God would allow each person on the earth the opportunity to hear His promise of LOVE either from the 144,000 or the Two Prophets in Rv 11. 1Thes 4.16 says also that the trumpet of God will call us into the air... almost verbatim with John's Rev 4.1. 2 Thes 2.7 is the best though! "what is going to happen will not happen until the one who holds it back is taken out of the way - that is the Holy Spirit in and of the Church. I love you guys in Christ. I say to you with all my heart - WHO CARES. Let us be busy at our work WHEN He comes... and let us not focus on anything less than the victory at hand through Jesus. A Men?
CommentsPRETERISTS THAT I'VE SPOKEN TO ARE EMPTY PEOPLE WITH NO HOPE,SORRY TO SAY SO.
CommentsWhat is the greatest commandment?
CommentsJack makes a false statement as though it is true and then buiolds on it. He is the idiot of TV
CommentsI've been watching Jack & Rexella on INSP's "Changing The World"- it seems they repeat the same couple of interviews every few weeks. Never have I seen a man so arrogant! As far as he's concerned Van Impe & Associates are the only ones who know the truth. I'm not a Preterist (that's pronounced, 'pret er ist', Jack) nor amillennialist. Isbon Beckwith wrote a commentary on Revelation in 1919 that seems to make sense to me. It's also found in Dr. Kendell Easley's Commentary (Holman series) and is described as 'promillennialism'. However, I readily admit I could be wrong. Van Impe attacks everyone who is not a Dispensational Premillennialist. Two years ago I wrote him a letter regarding several inaccurate statements he made on INSP (with a copy to David Cerullo) - never got a response (not that I really expected one!).

CommentsI just want to thank everyone for your comments. It has been interesting seeing what you all have had to say. Tina, you made your point very well, (we couldn't possibly miss it). Rick, you too. What I want to say is that I feel the freedom to say what we feel is is part of the blessing of living in America. We have that right. Jack Van Impe has that right. If you listen to him, then that's your decision. No one is forcing you. As far as preterism is concerned, I have also done quite a bit of research. I think Joe Van Koevering's book, "Exposing the Scoffers" is done very well. I would like to quote from pages 19 and 20: "Let's re-examine what Ricard Abanes has said. Abanes' reasoning is simply this: For two thousand years Alarmists have cried out, 'THE TIME IS AT HAND!' And they've all been wrong. Right? Therefoe his logic says, 'All those who today say that the return of Christ is near, they, too, must be wrong.' Why does he say we're wrong? Because everybody that preceded us for two thousand years was wrong. However, that is faulty logic. That is like somebody saying in 1945, "You know, preachers have said for nineteen hundred and forty-five years that Israel would be reborn and they've all been wrong. So all these guys today are wrong." But guess what happened in 1948? Israel was reborn, thus setting this genration apart from all generations that preceded it. In fact, the very nation of Israel itself is a real problem to the preterist scoffers. The preterists have no plausible explanation for this great miracle of hisory. The scofers want us to believe that the re-establishing of the nation of Israel in our lifetime is merely a fluke, an accident of history. Yet today, for the first time since 586BC, the Jewish people are living in their Biblical land under a sovereign government. Never before in human history have a people been defeated, driven from their land, and dispersed among the many nations of the world, only to return over two millenia later and reclaim their country, language and identity. Never! How can any honest, Bible-believing Christian seriously entertain the possiblility that this is not the hand of God at work? THe scoffers in the land today would try and have us believe that all the prophetic declarations in the Bible predicting this national rebirth of Israel in the last days, are somehow irrelevant and un-important. Well, I personally feel otherwise. Israel itself is God's "super sign" that we are living in the last days, and stands as a stroang witness against the message of the modern scoffers of today. Don't buy into any of those lies. No matter how they cloak it, no matter how they present it, no matter how they say it...don't receive what they have to say. The Christian community is being force-fed this teaching and it is false. Please read Van Koevering's book if you get a chance...Kris
CommentsJack and Rexella, thank you so much for your hard work in getting the Word out to the world. You both have dedicated your lives to spreading the Word of God. I look forward every week to your program. I am looking forward for Jesus to return. That will truly be an AWSOME event for those of us who believe the Word of God. Thank you again for your faithfulness.
Commentsyou need to be fill with the holy to understand the true of what the lord was talking about >thier some standing here that will be alive untill this things written down be fulfill.then ..not now or ever will be the the bible is a never ending story it will contuied till for evere and ever. so get on your hand s and knees and and prayed for understanding you have a white cloud over your head.
CommentsI am not sure which position is correct!!! However, when I look at John 5:28 - 29 it seems to contradict Jack's position. If everyone (believers and nonbelivers) is being resurrected at the same time, then how could there be a separate rapture a thousand previously?
CommentsJACK VAN IMPI IS A STUPID STUPID MAN,SMART CLOTH,5TH GEN COMPUTERS,WHAT THE HECK IS HE TALKING ABOUT,HE ACTS LIKE THIS STUFF IS WRITTEN OUT WORD FOR WORD AND WE ARE BLIND,NOW JACK YOU ARE BLIND TO THE TRUTH ,IF ANYTHING YOU AND THE CHURCH TODAY ARE THE ANTI-CHRIST,AND THE SONS OF GOD WILL HAVE TO NURTURE YOU TO THE TRUTH,THE MANIFISTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD,WE WILL BE PERSICUTED,BY YOU JACK THE CHURCH OF FUTURE COMINGS.....

CommentsI just think (as a Christian) this belief about a so-called "rapture" is starting to get to everyone's heads! I, honestly, am a little skeptical about it, I want to believe, but I don't want to. We are seperating ourselves from many other Christians just because of different "opinions" (or if you'd like to call them "beliefs") concerning how our Savious will return. It's beginning to get childish and non-Christ-like. Here's my point. The Lord will return. How? I don't know. I'm only human (just as MY ways are higher than your ways, so are MY thoughts higher than your thoughts)But its about time we all stopped this nonsense. Its so (pardon me) stupid. Jesus will return. That's that.
Commentsi believe it will be january 20 2993 a.d. when lord jesus christ comes back for people born nice and perfect or super nice and super perfect born with real eye color black too call home too heaven in the sky or space those who are born with blacks eyes whites eyesballs or blacks eyes blacks eyesballs only are going there.
CommentsFirst there was Noah, then the Law and then the Prophets. God was revealing more and more to his creation. FINALLY, He sent His SON for the ultimate sacrifice for we only have to believe on Him, repent and be saved. God is giving us every chance to live eternally. The choice is ours. He is extending His Grace period for He is not willing that ANY should perish, but that all should have eternal life. This life is about a choice...God or Satan. The result will be life eternal or life in Hell forever away from the presence of God. When the restrainer (the Christian Church) is removed, then the LAST antichrist will be revealed. He will be allowed to work freely as there will be no prayers of Christians to prevent the destruction that will come upon this earth. Woe to them who do not repent and believe on Jesus. Sad to see some complain because God is witholding his judgement that all who will might be saved. It's this mercy (even though scoffers complain) that might bring one more soul to repentance and life eternal. Might it be you?
CommentsWhen the Bible states in 1Th 4:16 and 4:17 "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord" there is NO WAY preterists can explain this away. This has not happened but just as over 500 prophecies in the Bible HAVE ALREADY been fulfilled, you can KNOW that this will happen as well. <p> God in His wonderful mercy is not willing that ANY should perish. He hears and answers the prayers of Christians who beg for mercy for their loved ones. I long for His return, but I grieve at the thought of a daughter or son spending eternity in hell. So the scoffers complain (as the Bible said they would) because God is not willing that ANY should perish but that all should come to repentance. As I am a Christian believer and, whether asleep in our Lord or alive at his coming, I would prefer to sleep til His coming if waiting a little longer would extend His wonderful mercy to include lost children and loved ones. <p> But, when God removes the restrainer (as He said in His word and which is the Holy Spirit indwelling Christians), the final antichrist will wreak havoc on this world like it has never seen. Then, the end will come. <p>We will live forever somewhere. The choice we make while living in this world will determine where we spend it. Can anyone honestly believe their spirit will just disappear? Think about it. We will ALL be alive somewhere though our bodies may be in the grave at His coming. God has done everything (including sacrificing His Son) that we might choose to live with Him. I hope when you lie down tonight, you are aware in the quiet of the night, that your soul will NEVER fade away. For God gave it to you, but He allowed your free will which determines where you spend it. He offers life eternal beyond our imagination. But Satan knows his time is getting shorter and he wants to take as many of God's creation into hell as he can so great is his hatred of God. God has made a way that we all may escape. Jesus is the door.
CommentsRegarding wavelengths, their source, direction, intensity, affecting what and how, their distination, and possibility of man to duplicate a control type of energy for their use. Your response?

CommentsJack.. the fact that you do not read Scripture with a proper hermeneutic is sad enough without your making mockery of a view that is more truthful to scripture does not speak well of you at all. it would be best if you continued on with what you believe and not be concerned with the preterist view. If you are sure your view is correct.. then so be it.As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord

CommentsAudience relevance, audience relevance, audience relvance!!! Sheesh!
CommentsGen to Rev are the words of man and are not the words of the creator. So is the book of Mormon,the Koran and all other books.If there is a designer of the universe, then let the designer stay anonymous. That is how it has been from the beginning. The designer has not been revealed as of yet and may never be revealed to dust like man. So don't get your hopes up to much that you are going to be in eternal bliss with Jesus for ever. In Love, to all who share planet earth, may you find peace in your hearts and minds. WN
CommentsI think that in 2075 they will still be the Van Impe's of the world still predicting the world is ending. Man has been predicting the "Coming of the Lord" for centuries and there isn't any reason to believe it will ever stop. We all know fear is the driving force of all religions and human frailities will always be exploited. Some preach because they have actually come to believe their own babble, others do it for economic reasons. If one hundred of the most influential religious leaders of today would get together and call for all of the true believers to commit suicide, themselves included, the aftermath would probably be the first time in history we would experience true peace on earth.
Commentsi believe in Gods Word,the Bible and what it says for i would like to see everyone to be saved and be with our LORD Jesus when He comes back to reign.
CommentsIt sounds to me like all of you have just gotten tired of waiting for the Lord's return and you are making up your own false doctrine. If you can't endure till the end, that tells me something about your "relationship" with Jesus. Revelation does give a symbolic dipiction of the events to come. I guess the reason why you can't understand the Bible is because you have never become aquainted with it's author. Call yourselves Preterist if you want, sounds to me like a bunch of sinners hiding behind a fancy name.
CommentsHere are my comments: 1. Rexella: humble, good pianist, aging, has no idea what she is talking about. 2. Chuck Ohman: great horn player, what a voice! 3.Jack Van Impe: friendly, awesome memory, confuses and twists scriptures constantly, "listen to me". 4. "Buy the truth but sell it now"- did Jack ever memorize this scripture? Come on, give the truth away free...not $50 plus shipping and handling.
CommentsGive Jack Van Impi a break fella,after all he's not perfect--& neither are you or me!Are you so perfect you can cast the 1st stone-? I am sure you're not,so give the man his 1st amendment rights without your foot on his neck!
