Only just saw this.<br /><br />I have much more going around in my head than time to post. Perhaps it is priorities?

Of course there would be big gaps, but it may be interesting to patch together what I think is likely and how that patchwork may look (even with the gaps). For example I would argue for Daniel historically, with the 70 7s (or 69) being until the time of Jesus' birth (or crucifixion); the initial Olivet discourse to the destruction and escape from Jerusalem in the first century; latter Olivet of trampling of Jerusalem by the Gentiles from then till now (or 1967?); the letters to the churches in the 1st century; the beasts to Rome including 666 to Nero; the return of Jesus future; the woman and her child to the birth of Jesus; the New Jerusalem future (though probably significantly symbolic);...<br /><br />Not to mention the millennium which is more speculative. I am more futurist with this one.bethyadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08990677679970591625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7993518718588952892.post-46278988450226513382012-11-04T15:15:33.082+13:002012-11-04T15:15:33.082+13:00I think eschatology is incredibly important, so I ...I think eschatology is incredibly important, so I think that some passion is certainly in play here. However, the kind of passion which results from absolutism is silly. We should not have an absolute interpretation of the end times. That is exactly what got the Jews in trouble with messianic prophesy. <br /><br />My basic view of Revelation is futurist, but I agree that I have some preterist sympathies. I often feel that I agree with preterists more when it comes to hermeneutical methods, but with futurists more with actual conclusions. I don't know if it is because of my own stubburnness, or if I am finding a middle ground that most can't see. At the risk of hubris, it seems to me to be the latter. Oh well. God will sort it out in the end (double entendre intended).Jc_Freak:https://www.blogger.com/profile/14780031497091443526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7993518718588952892.post-84309545636228266772012-11-03T04:24:10.085+13:002012-11-03T04:24:10.085+13:00That was an excellent post, bethyada, and I don...That was an excellent post, bethyada, and I don't see one thing I would take exception to.
