"the only real apocalypse is the personal one, and millenarianism.. is a delusion of consequentiality, produced by the panicked desire to see one’s own generation as the significant one." (Echo's Answer)

Former Full Preterists: Recanting Full Preterism: Abauzit  Townley  Desprez - "(Full) Preterism has a long history of adherents who recanted. Here the works of three prominent men who embraced preterist or hyperpreterist views, but later recanted, are examined" (Abauzit, Townley, Desprez)

"This is in reference to my inquiry about Colonel H. Speed Wilson's $10,000 Rapture challenge. I finally tracked him down through his association with the Lake Hamilton Bible Camp and from this latest email I received it appears that the Colonel will acquiesce to remit the $10,000 posted to anyone who could prove the the Rapture of the Church is supported by Scripture, I proved this and I'm glad to say that as to him as well as my self it is all about the truth, furthermore, the Preterist position on the Book of Revelations is the premise of educated fools. There is knowledge to be learned on that website but it is of an historical nature and as far as a spiritual nature it is bone without enough meat on it to make a sick bird a bowl of soup." Sincerely, Donald LeFlore

Secondly, that the present-day Jewish citizens of the State of Israel are by and large the descendants of those early Jews. "

• Mike Loomis - Challenging Resurrection View of Total Fulfillment in AD70 "The Apostle Paul spoke of the resurrection as something that was past, present, and future from his perspective. And to deny certain aspects of it, past, present, or future is to deny even Christ's resurrection, resulting in the shipwrecking of some peoples faith. See 1 Corinthians 15, 1 Timothy 1:18-20 & 2 Timothy 2:14-18."

11/9/11: Daniel's 70 Weeks -- Rightly Dividing "The crucifixion and the destruction of the Temple did occur after the 69 weeks of years ended in 32 AD. Jesus was cut off, but the destruction of the Temple would come later just as Jesus foretold. Daniel 9:26 is fulfilled after the 69th week with the 70th week still future. This is the plain reading without doing any mental gymnastics or new math. Below is the passage diagrammed" (well done chart by Dispy Daniel Matson)

• Preterist-Idealism: Isaac Williams: The Apocalypse: with notes and reflections (1852) "But the presence of the Lamb has rendered that easy which before was difficult." The six Seals appear to be fulfilled in the forty years in which the Spirit pleaded with Jerusalem before its destruction; this may be the writing "without," as understood by all: but every Seal seems also to have an ulterior fulfilment, which is the hidden sense "written within".

  • Thomas Scott: "The Praeterists—who think that the events with which the visions were concerned are altogether fulfilled, having taken place in the first centuries of Church history—are very numerous. And at present one section of the School—those who think that the book is concerned almost entirely with contemporaneous history—is very vigorously supported by Archdeacon Farrar. He thinks that the crash, and the coming of the Lord, to which the visions all point, refer to the Lord's coming at the destruction of Jerusalem, and the breaking up of the entire Jewish polity. Others of this School allow a more extended scope for the visions, and refer the predicted crash to the breaking down of heathenism before Christianity, or to the breaking up of the Roman empire. But many of the most thoughtful of the Praeterists admit (or strongly advocate) that the visions and these events have lessons for all ages, and look forward as well as back. Thus there are commentators—such as Isaac Williams, Maurice, Hengstenberg, Boussett, Vaughan, and others—who may be classed among the interpreters of both the Spiritual and Praeterist Schools; and all of the Spiritual School can recognize in the events to which both the Historic and Praeterist Schools point, illustrations of the principles which we think the Apostle depicted in these visions." (1891)

G.L. Stone

The Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy;

or, All pure prophecy terminated in the Advent of Christ and the establishment of Christianity

G.L. Stone - "It may as well be stated also here, that the Professor (Samuel Lee) appears to have been more indebted to Calvin than he seemed to be aware of; while the valuable labours of Grotius and Hammond — indeed, it may be added, of Bossuet and Calmet—immensely helped towards the same conclusion."

Charles Schultz Says:

"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia."

Administrative: Simple Classification and Color Schemes Given to Distinguish Between Forms of Fulfillment Eschatology: 

Futurism (F) - (No Fulfillment of Matt. 24/25 & Revelation in 1st C. - Types of Future Events Only)
Historical Preterism (HP) - (Minor Fulfillment of Matt. 24/25 or Revelation in Past)
Modern Preterism (MP) - (Major Fulfillment of Matt. 24/25 or Revelation in Past)
	Hyper Preterism (HyP) - (Absolute Fulfillment of all Bible prophecy - Full Preterism and "Resurrection Past" Teachings; Full Preterism is systematized Hyper Preterism - All Full Preterism is Hyper Preterism, but not all Hyper Preterism is Full Preterism.)

The Contribution of British Writers Between 1560 and 1830 to the Interpretation of Revelation 13.16-18 - Chapter Five : 1649-1660 - Henry Hammond and the Preterist School of Interpretation "This volume contained a brave but lonely attempt to introduce the preterist interpretation of the Book of Revelation to English soil.  Hammond laid great stress on the opening words of the Apocalypse in which  the book is said to contain 'things which must shortly come to pass.'  .. But those who argued for the preterist interpretation of the Book of Revelation.. were playing to empty galleries, until at least the fourth decade of the nineteenth century.  Their views were anything but popular and those who followed them could soon find themselves branded with the infamous mark of the papal beast."  Others who followed: Herbert Thorndike / "author of an anonymous tract on the Millennium published in 1693 ("Millennianism : or, Christ's Thousand Years Reign upon Earth, considered, in a Familiar Letter to a Friend")"  / Daniel Mace
