Question: How may we know the word that the Lord has not spoken?
(Deut. 18:21, ESV) Answer: …if the word does not come to pass or come true (v. 22) 
• Jack Van Impe Christ coming in “one minute!” Thus says the Lord God, Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! (Ezek. 13:3, ESV) • Billy & Franklin Graham Billy Graham: Preparing believers for “life in the last days.” Franklin Graham: Second coming could be delayed by “a hundred or even a thousand years.” Does Franklin know something his father doesn’t? Or are they both deluded? • Kay Arthur “Jesus is coming soon.” Christ’s return “imminent” since 2002. • Crystal Lewis Christ’s return “so soon” since 1996. …they were singing a new song before the throne… (Rev. 14:3, ESV) Lewis definitely needs a new song! • John Hagee “Jesus did not come to earth to be the Messiah.” Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? (1 John 2:22a, ESV) • John MacArthur MacArthur admits Matt. 16:28 is a “Prophecy of the Second Coming.” Then he says it isn’t. • Benedict XVI “The end of the world is not nigh.” Benedict gets it right for the wrong reason. • Keith Mathison Prominent postmillennialist clearly implies Paul could not have been a postmillennialist: “As far as Paul knew, Christ could have returned in his lifetime.” Huh? What happened to the millennium? • Joseph Farah Christ’s return “imminent” since 2004. Only when his predictions come true can we know that he is really from the Lord. (Jer. 28:9b, NLT) • David Wilkerson “AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.” If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake. (Gen. 18:26, ESV); For the sake of ten I will not destroy it. (v. 32) • John D. Morris Morris thinks Christ doesn’t begin reigning until a future second coming. So what’s Jesus been doing for the last 1,900+ years? • David R. Reagan Reagan has John measuring a temple that didn’t exist in the first century and still doesn’t today. Grace Communion International (GCI) (formerly the Worldwide Church of God)  •
Joseph Tkach, Jr.Tkach says, “We are living in the last days! — and we have been for almost 2,000 years.” • Michael Morrison Morrison says, “Jesus preached a soon-coming kingdom.” Morrison is right, but… GCI Spinoffs and Clones • Greg Albrecht Albrecht clearly implies Paul was not being led by the Holy Spirit when he predicted a first-century return of Christ. Albrecht calls this the “Plain Truth.” • Bruce Marchiano “All the facts seemed to fit; except one: Jesus didn’t return.” Actor predicts future return of Christ; rejects the testimony of Jesus, his “holy apostles,” Scripture and the historical record. More “Plain Truth!” • Ronald Weinland Tribulation: 2008 Second Coming: 2011 Herbert Armstrong clone admits, “if someone says something and it doesn’t come to pass, they’re false. That’s what is referred to as a false prophet.” Weinland neglects to mention that he is a false prophet. • David C. Pack The beast of Revelation is “just ahead.” Armstrong said the same thing over 70 years ago! We bear no ill will toward any of the above. We pray regularly for their eyes to be opened and encourage you to do the same.  Enlarge |
Preterism Preterism is the belief that all Bible prophecies, including those concerned with the return of Christ, resurrection of the dead, rapture, judgment and arrival of the kingdom of God, came to complete fulfillment in a.d. 70 upon the destruction of Herod’s temple in Jerusalem as predicted by Jesus in Luke 21: 6As for these things which you are looking at, the days will come in which there will not be left one stone upon another which will not be torn down. 22…these are days of vengeance, so that all things which are written will be fulfilled. 28…when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near. 31…when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near. (Luke 21:6, 22, 28, 31, NASB throughout unless otherwise noted.) Under the Old Covenant, being judged a false prophet was a very serious matter: it meant a death sentence (Deut. 18:20). Yet most modern prophecy teachers completely ignore this crucial point and present a gospel making Jesus and his apostles the most outrageous band of false prophets that ever walked the earth. Some claim that preterism is a relatively new teaching. However, as we can see from the passage above, there is nothing new about it. It comes from the Bible, which was composed long before any man-made creeds containing contrary declarations. For proof that preterism is absolutely biblical, please read our lead articles Jesus Predicted a First-Century Return and The Apostles Predicted a First-Century Return of Christ. They list the emphatic predictions most Christians seem unwilling to face honestly. We believe that all Bible prophecy was fulfilled on schedule, the first-century church received everything it was promised, and the words of Jesus, God’s holy apostles and Holy Scripture take precedence over all teachings to the contrary. 24This is what the Lord says…“I am the Lord… 25I expose the false prophets as liars…thus proving them to be fools. 26But I carry out the predictions of my prophets!” (Isa. 44:24-26, NLT) Note: Some use the term partial-preterism to refer to the belief that some prophecy has been fulfilled, but not all. However, one who believes that only some prophecy has been fulfilled cannot believe that all has been fulfilled and therefore, is not a preterist at all. One who believes that any prophecy is yet to be fulfilled is a futurist. At Preterism.info, we utterly reject and have no use for the term partial-preterism.
