Bible Note: Hi Jasper72 - Regarding your statement "As Chirst has said, these things which must shortly come to pass, they havent' happend yet" allow me to give a brief response. There are many who believe that most (if not all) of the prophecies in Revelation have been fulfilled. This is known as the “Preterist” view. There are many varying views and even within each view (Preterist, Historicist, Futurist, Spiritual - the main views as I understand it) there are varying degrees and positions taken. Years ago I read a book entitled Revelation: Four Views. I found it very informative in describing the approach taken by those holding the four “main views” though it didn’t necessarily help me arrive at my own conclusion. I eventually abandoned my developing fascination with prophecy for a more focused effort toward understanding and applying the essential doctrines related to salvation and discipleship. Others will be more equipped to give further insight here. |
