Hi,

I'm pretty new here. Perisseuo recommended this forum to me and I appreciate the fact that he did. I like the site and I have read some of the articles in the magazine. I am also aware that sickness has been spoken of in this thread and I didn't know whether to start another topic or not but my questions do come from Matthew 24 so I went ahead and continued in this thread. I'm also fearful of jumping in over my head here on this forum and on this subject.

I appreciate your prayers. Gout in any form is incurable, though in most cases controllable - for some more than others. Thus, short of a miracle, pray that it may be controlled, the pain regulated, and that I may be able to stop taking steroids - side effects ….. Also, that I may maintain employment. Again, I appreciate your prayers.

Terms are used in different ways by different people. When Morris uses "preterist" he means those who see the book of Revelation as primarily (or exclusively) referring to events leading up to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD. He would use "historicist" to mean a view that the book of Revelation gives an overview of the entire sweep of history between the first and second comings. "Futurist" would mean the book of Revelation is primarily (or exclusively)...

Joe,

Sadden to hear of your illness. In what ways can we pray?

I have this commentary by Leon Morris, and he separates into 4 principal ways Revelation has been interpreted. 1) Preterist, 2) Historicist, 3) Futurist, & 4) Idealist. Therefore, I had thought the Preterist and the Historicist positions are different. I'm not a person who digs deeply into the inner-details of these kinds of theological constructs, but stay in the somewhat broad parameters of them....

John,

I re-read the article earlier tonight and it is too preterist/historicist (the same) to have on our site. I am glad you said something.

First is vs. 4-35,...

I assume the main goal in Ralph Woodrow's article, "Matthew 24" is arguiing against the Futuristic view of the prophecy in Matthew 24. I agree with the faults of the Futuristic explanations in prophecy; yet I find his take on their either being a Futuristic view or a Finalized view on Matthew 24 as shortchanging other more viable views. I thought much of the prophecy in Matthew 24 as being on-going with a spike toward Christ's return. Why does it either have to be...
