LATEST ADDITIONS OF NOTE:

• Dorothy Anderson: Former Full Preterist
   

  • Return from Oz (2008) "When you battle full preterism, you often do it alone because there are so few who know the system well enough to come to your aid. For those who have left, it is often hand to hand combat if they elect to speak out, so many remain silent..  I can profess that while full preterism has straightened out some areas, I am confident that full preterism is not the final answer and creates larger problems than it solves."

  • The Devil is in the Details (2009) "My position today is this: If they want to lay claim to the start of the next reformation, they must have a prepared response here. Luther wasn’t negligent in that area. Since their position requires a defeat of Satan, inquiring minds want to know. Who or what is/was Satan that proves this scripture is fulfilled?"

  • Re-Shuffling the Creed Deck (2009)  "What has happened in hyper-preterism is their eschatological (end times) position requires them to redefine, or at best reschedule the resurrection and after 25+ years, they still have no unified solution to offer. You would think that would give them a clue that maybe they have a real problem. Instead, they are still arguing over what the resurrection represents. So their supposed answer to eschatology has resulted in a major creedal failure."

FIRST-GENERATION MODERN PRETERIST BOOK!

PARAPHRASE and  ANNOTATIONS Upon all the Books of the New Testament (1653) “This was the first commentary of any length to be published in the English language,” E. Early Ellis

BY THE FATHER OF ENGLISH EXEGESIS
Henry Hammond

One of the definitive German "Zeitgeschichtliche Eschatologie" (Präterismus) books of the 19th century:

"The Jews' confidence of victory fell when they saw the abomination of desolation set up in the holy place. The upper town was defended half-heartedly."

• Free Online Books: Adolph Hausreth: A History of the New Testament Times (English translation of Neutestamentliche Zeitgeschichte, 1868–1873, 4 vols) - "The Jewish false prophet, who raised the standard of rebellion, is plunged into the eternal pit no less than Nero, the Antichrist." // "Thus ensued an anxious pause, which gave the Romans repose, and the Zealots a period for new saturnalia. Breathless expectancy brooded over Asia, and engendered the strangest rumours, which the Apocalypse of John shows us in the form current among the Jewish Christians. This was the momentary respite immediately before the coming of the great judgment of which John speaks. The angels stood on the four corners of the earth and held the four winds, so that no leaf stirred, nor any wave ; and another angel came from the east and sealed the saints on the forehead, so that they should be marked before the coming of the great judgment."

THE DOOMSDAY DEMENTIA OF CHRISTIAN ZIONISM
Dispensationalist / Christian Zionist Writings From Numerous Viewpoints

The Dispensationalist view of bible prophecy teaches that the nation of Israel is still waiting for its kingdom and King, as well as the reception of the inheritances of the biblical 'Abrahamic Covenant'.   Accordingly, they teach, the Second Coming and Great Tribulation is right around the corner to settle affairs. The political collaboration between the United States and the State of Israel is, in part, influenced by the theo-politics brought about by the merging of Zionism and Dispensationalism.
