Tribulational Flavors

[CJD®]

While no preterist (at least self-designated. I'd be surprised if the date of John's apocalypse was as Gentry argues), I do think the Olivet Discourse clearly refers to AD 70 — in its entirety.

I couldn't vote (couldn't allow the label ).

I voted Orthodox Preterist,I believe Matt.24 has been fulfillled and some Of Rev.possibily but I believe in future resurrections and future rewards and punishments.

I think that you ask these questions on eschatology to get the nut cases like myself to reveal themselves. Ok, so you have succeeded. I believe that the Great Great Tribulation began in 1914 at the beginning of WWI and will last for 96 years ending with the coming of Jesus Christ in the year 2010. I believe that the regular Tribulation began with the sin of Adam and Eve. The entire history of the human race is one long terrible Tribulation. It's possible that the Great (only one Great) Tribulation began with the start of the Jewish Roman war in 66 AD and ended with the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.

I will start my comment to this thread with one question (if all don't mind)

If you are a "double-fulfillment" or "partial-praeterist" or "futurist" or anything of that sort...

Where in the word of god does it state that there will be a third temple built beyond the destruction that was to come to the Jews during the first century?

[Mal !]

I fall into the 'double fulfilment' catagory, roughly speaking. I do not believe in the physical rebuilding of the Temple after AD70. I don't believe that God has any further use for a physical temple, nor does he need animal sacrifices, the perfect sacrifice being Jesus.

I voted for the historicist position. I recently came to the conclusion that we're in the Trib now and have been since the first century. I have a thread up called "imminent posttribulationism" that discusses my position a little better.

I am also curious about the tribulational flavors we have here. What I am asking is what position do you take on the timing on the Great Tribulation in the Olivet Discourse and Revelation in general. I know that a particular category may not fit everyone precisely, this is just to get a general feel for our demographics.

Hello, The early Church definately believed that there would be a time in the future when Christians would be persecuted by the antiChristos, and I believe that too. I also think a lot of what's written in Revelation is yet to be fulfilled.

[*Apollyon*]

Pigeon hole me as a Preterist/amilennialist. It's pretty clear to me that Jesus was talking to the first century audience when he said "This generation shall not pass away until these things come to pass" paraphrased

I voted futurist, but this is a topic I dont claim to have a great understanding of. Heard Hank Hannigraf (sp?) talking about it on the radio not long ago. (partial preterist?) Interesting stuff.

Futurist. I believe the Church will be taken up at the last trumpet (1 Cor 15:52). That can't be before the seventh trumpet in Rev 11:15. So evidently we will see the first six. Would that be mid-trib?

[Hitch]

When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more,
And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;
When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

.

On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise,
And the glory of His resurrection share;
When His chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.



Let us labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun,
Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care;
Then when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

I'm new here and this seemed to me to be as good a place as any to start.

I'm a partial, or orthodox preterist of the amillennial persuasion. I believe the great tribulation of the Olivet discourse to speak of the time between the encompassing of the Roman army around Jerusalem until her fall AD 70.

welcome, there are a lot of us orthodox preterists here

Thanks for the welcome

I've been lurking about for the last couple of days and noticed that quite a few people seem to have it right.
