Jin's wish is my command

I answered your question. Let me make it bit more simple then.

1) It’s a pure guess. Futurism guesses just as much as preterism guesses, evident by the hundreds of different interpretations from each camp. The literal interpretation, whether symbolic or imagery, is just as much a guess as the allegorical interpretation when there’s no explanation given within the text itself.

2) The futurist doesn’t know what it means anymore than the preterist does other than just a guess. The futurist, however, at least has faith in an endgame, and knows that when it happens the interpretation will be clear to them and they’ll know who’s right. Instead of using Revelation scripture to guess how it fulfills an event, the event will interpret the scripture.

Oh. Em. Gee

I can't believe what I just read. Somebody has got to PoTD the above post!!

I am so quoting this on my blog!!

I am SO quoting that on my blog as well. Normally I groan to see so much quoting of SeanD because he is on my ignore list, and well, you guys quoting him kinda defeats the purpose, but that is pure comedy gold.

Wow. That's second from the same forum.

I'd like to add that this comment is one of the strongest arguments for preterism that there is.

[Dee Dee Warren]

So much for the perspicuity of Scripture. I wonder if he thinks the Trinity is pure guess as well.

I disagree with seanD's "guesswork."

Though I agree that dispy, pretrib futurism is full of guessing, I don't see guessing in knowing what prophecies have already been fulfilled, from a partial futurist perspective.
