Debunking Preterism by Brock D Hollett Pdf

Dr. Brock D. Hollett formerly embraced preterism while earning his Master of Divinity at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2000 because the preterist perspective seemed to provide him with coherent arguments regarding the time statements of the New Testament. Persuaded by the arguments put forth by preterist scholars, especially R. C. Sproul, Hank Hanegraaff, N. T. Wright, Gary DeMar, and Kenneth Gentry, Dr. Hollett became a teacher at a church with a preterist orientation, and defended preterist eschatology as the host of a weekly radio program, Fulfilled Life, on Covenant Key FM. By 2013, he had finished writing a book defending preterism and was scheduled to be a conference speaker at a preterist prophecy conference. However, on the very night that he received the first box of 100 books from his publisher, the Lord spoke to his heart to reexamine the biblical doctrine of the resurrection of the dead, which led him to repent of his involvement with preterism. In 2017, God placed a fresh burden on Dr. Hollett's heart to write a book that sets forth a proper biblical eschatology and a roadmap for refuting preterism. He wrote Debunking Preterism: How Over-realized Eschatology Misses the "Not Yet" of Bible Prophecy in only three months, sensing a prophetic urgency regarding the project. Debunking Preterism will undoubtedly become the gold standard on the topic of preterism. The book is replete with a wealth of illustrative figures and comparative charts that reinforce its main concepts. Special emphasis is placed upon a proper understanding of the biblical time statements and the "already and not yet" principle of eschatology.

Problems with Preterism by Bryan C. Hodge Pdf

Preterism is the belief that the majority, if not all, of the eschatological passages in the New Testament have already been fulfilled in the first century. Although there are some needed correctives that preterism provides when interpreting eschatological statements in the Synoptic Gospels, the interpretive methodologies employed are largely plagued with exegetical and logical fallacies. On top of these, the genre of apocalyptic is often completely lost on the modern interpreter and as a result leads to numerous non sequiturs made when it comes to the nature and time of biblical eschatology. This book seeks to correct these hermeneutical missteps by providing exegetical principles that may help guide the reader to a more biblically sound conclusion concerning the timing and nature of biblical eschatology.

The Antichrist and the Second Coming by Duncan W. McKenzie Pdf

What if the commonly held beliefs concerning the Antichrist are mistaken? The Antichrist and the Second Coming looks at the Antichrist and the Second Advent of Christ from a preterist (i.e., past fulfillment) perspective and provides a unified interpretation of the little horn, the prince to come, the king of the North, the man of lawlessness, and the beast. This is the second in a two volume set on the Antichrist; it focuses on the book of Revelation. This edition stands on its own and is recommended reading even if you have not read the first volume (which focuses on Daniel and 2 Thessalonians). McKenzie shows how the Antichrist was ultimately a spiritual ruler from the abyss (Rev. 11:7) that worked through Titus in his three-and-a-half-year destruction of the Jewish nation (AD 67-70; cf. Dan. 9:26). This spirit of Antichrist was about to come out of the abyss in the first century (Rev. 17:8 NASB) and was destroyed by the Second Advent of Jesus in AD 70 (a spiritual event). Continue reading to see how McKenzie convincingly makes the biblical case for this fascinating and controversial position, and what it means for us today. Dr. Duncan McKenzie is a licensed psychologist (Ph.D. in psychology) who lives in Los Angeles, California. He has been studying Bible prophecy for the past twenty-five years and has been researching and writing this two volume set for the last twelve years.

The Future Restoration of Israel by Stanley E. Porter,Alan E. Kurschner Pdf

This volume is the most extensive of its kind as a major set of collected essays from a wide range of scholars on the question of the promises of God to Israel. These essays put forward the position that unconditional promises were given to Israel, which have not been fulfilled in the church or any other entity. At the consummation, there will be a continuing role for the Jews, realized through their national and territorial hope of a restored-redeemed Israel. This volume contains an eclectic group of contributors who have reached this position from various approaches to interpretation. The essays exhibit both positive argumentation and engagement with supersessionist literature.

Prophecy Without Panic by Duncan Shennea Pdf

What are the prophecies of the New Testament actually saying? Is the popular version of "Rapture-oriented" teaching correct? This book, Prophecy Without Panic, seeks to answer these questions by providing a brief introduction to the "Partial Preterist" interpretation of biblical prophecy. Consecutive chapters cover the teachings of Jesus in the Gospels and the teachings of Paul the Apostle in his letters before providing a chapter-by-chapter analysis of the Book of Revelation. In the final chapter, "Does My View of Biblical Prophecy Really Matter All That Much?" the author addresses the relevance of these matters for us today. Are you truly fed up with the relentless barrage of end-times speculation? Are you tired of the constant diet of fear, apprehension, and warnings dished out by those supposedly "in the know"? Are you deeply disappointed, not only at the continuous parade of "Rapture"-oriented predictions, but also at the seemingly limitless gullibility of otherwise devout and intelligent Christians who continue to swallow these predictions and support the ministers who make them? If so, this book is for you. On the other hand, if you understand and are satisfied with "prophecy teaching" as you have heard it, if you are sure you have it figured out, if you even have a chart in the back of your Bible diagramming the coming end-time events-this book is especially for you. You just might need to change your mind, or at least re-consider what you believe.

Daniel in the Preterists' Den by Thomas A. Howe Pdf

In recent years, there has been rise in popularity and visibility of the debate about the last things. Preterists and Futurists have published books, articles, and even movies promoting their respective views. This debate has elevated the interest of the Christian public in eschatological issues. Along with the increased interest in eschatology, there has been a rise in popularity of the Preterist view, which holds that most or all of the prophecies about ChristÕs coming have already been fulfilledÑthat the Òsecond comingÓ took place in 70 AD. Most of the discussion from those who espouse the Preterist view, however, revolves around certain passages in the New Testament, and their treatment of Old Testament passages is sporadic and selective. The importance of the book of Daniel in these discussions cannot be overstated. However, most commentaries on Daniel from a Futurist perspective have not dealt with the PreteristsÕ interpretations of the key prophetic passages. There simply is no detailed commentary on the book of Daniel that addresses the Presterist interpretations of this important book. This book is a commentary on the entire book of Daniel from a Futurist perspective that specifically addresses the Preterist interpretations of the key prophetic passages. This is not a book that selects passages out of the context of the book and attempts to explain their prophetic significance. Rather, this is a commentary on the entire book of Daniel that places these critical prophetic passages in their literary and historical context, and then deals with the various interpretations of these passages as they fit into the context of the book as a whole.

The Cold Case Against Full Preterism by Stephen Whitsett Pdf

The Cold Case Against Full Preterism addresses the claims made by Full Preterists teachers and their works, against Orthodox Christianity. It demonstrates the inconsistencies, and the lack of coherence in the Preterist paradigm and attacks the bases for the denial of the Bodily Resurrection of the saints, the denial of the Bodily existence of Christ in heaven, and why the future visible bodily return of Christ is a departure from the Orthodox Christian faith.The challenge is made to Don Preston, Daniel Rogers, and Alan Bondar, concerning their teaching of the Full Preterist paradigm, and Whitsett provides a clear cut case against the claims made by Full Preterist; The Law Ended in A.D. 70, Jesus had to die twice when his body was burnt up in his ascension, the death of Adam was "spiritual death" and not physical death, the Second Coming was fulfilled in A.D.70 along with the Resurrection of the Dead, and we currently live in the "new Heavens and Earth".There has never been a more damaging theology created in the History of the Church than Full Preterism and Whitsett provided one of the strongest theological argument against such a system.If you have heard about Full Preterism and are investigating it's claims, this book is a start in getting the whole picture and understanding why it should be rejected as anything else but sound.

Understanding End Times Prophecy by Paul N. Benware Pdf

Many Christians think of end times prophecy as a gigantic, intimidating puzzle -- difficult to piece together and impossible to figure out. But every puzzle can be solved if you approach it the right way. Paul Benware compares prophecy to a picture puzzle. Putting the edge pieces together first builds the 'framework' that makes it easier to fit the other pieces in their place. According to Benware, the framework for eschatology is the biblical covenants. He begins his comprehensive survey by explaining the major covenants. Then he discusses several different interpretations of end times prophecy. Benware digs into the details of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the judgements and resurrections, and the millennial kingdom. But he also adds a unique, personal element to the study, answering questions as: -Why study bible prophecy? -What difference does it make if I'm premillenial or amillenial? If what the Bible says about the future puzzles you, Understanding End Times Prophecy will help you put together the pieces and see the big picture.
