What Is Preterism? | Episode 57

What is preterism, and how does it change the way we understand biblical prophecy?In this episode, we explore the difference between full and partial preterism and examine the case that many passages commonly placed in our future were speaking about events that would be fulfilled in the first century, culminating in the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70.We look closely at Jesus’ words in Matthew 24 and Luke 21, along with other passages concerning His coming, judgment, the kingdom, and the repeated New Testament expectation that these events were near. Instead of beginning with a modern end-times system, we ask a more basic question: What did these prophecies mean to the people who first heard them?Read the companion study and join the conversation:https://wakinguptograce.com/057-what-is-preterism/
