PREPOSTEROUS PRETERISM by Laurence A. Justice
I have in my possession a post card I recently received in the mail. Superimposed on a background of a beautiful sunset are the words “The Second Coming of Jesus Christ Already Happened.” My first reaction to this card was, What? What wacko sent this and who would even print such a thing?” After looking into the matter I found that the person who sent this card is no isolated loony with too much time on his hands. Instead he is one who has been caught up in an error that is having increasing influence on modern Christians. This error is called preterism, P-R-E-T-E-R-I-S-M, and those who believe this way are called preterists. Some time ago I preached a message which I called “ Bible Prophecy and the Year 2000” in which I pointed out that as the new millennium approaches there will be a tremendous upsurge of emphasis on and interest in Bible prophecy. The first ripples of this surge came in 1987 with publication of the book “Eighty Eight Reasons Why the Rapture Will Come in 1988.” Now larger waves of this interest and emphasis are beginning to swell and preterism is part of these larger waves www.victorybaptist.us/sermons/Preposterous-Preterism.pdf
