Is the End of the World near?

Are we living in the Last Days?

Is Christ’s return at hand?

For so many years here in Australia we have constantly been told that we are living on the threshold of the End of the World and Christ’s Return. Prediction after prediction has failed to materialize, and false hope after false hope has been foisted upon the Christian community. Many Christians have been disillusioned, and are already looking for more reasonable explanations. Some have been so disillusioned they left the faith altogether.

And the secular media (who are always looking for an excuse) are further discrediting Christianity because of it. Something is terribly wrong with traditional views of Bible Prophecy. There is a serious need to re-examine the whole issue of Last Things.

Bible prophecy can be understood, but Futurist views have fallen far short for many reasons: their extreme physical/literalizing approach, their seeming inability to distinguish between figurative and literal language, and their failure to properly take into account the historical-grammatical-cultural context of the prophecies (specifically what they meant to their original audience).

Even the most difficult prophetic passage comes alive when approached properly. It is time to look at some alternatives, and the view of "Past Fulfilment" is a great place to start.

“Past Fufilment” means all things in the scriptures have already been fulfilled in the past, and “Futurist” means all things are to be fulfilled in the future. past fufilment is the opposite of Futurism.

Futurists believe most end-time prophecies (especially the big three events — the Second Coming, Resurrection, and Judgment) are yet to be fulfilled.

Those who believe in “Past Fufilment” are commonly known as Preterists believe that all of Bible Prophecy has already been fulfilled in Christ and the on-going expansion of His Eternal Kingdom. Many Futurists do not really believe that Christ has been successful in fully establishing His Kingdom. They think it was indefinitely postponed when the Jews rejected and crucified Jesus.

Past Fufilment interpretation of Bible prophecy is capturing significant media attention, and according to one critic, is “spreading like wildfire” in the social media.

It has been mentioned several times in publications such as Christianity Today, Christian News, Great Christian Books catalog, World Magazine, and several others. Hundreds of preterist books, eBooks, video and audio resources are available, with many more in the works. There are dozens of preterist websites, and several online podcasts, one of which is Declaring Messiah's Return in the First Century podcast which can be found on our YouTube chanel by clicking on the videos tab above.
