Recently within the Church the prophetic teaching "preterism" has arisen to challenge the pretribulational, mid-tribulational, and post-tribulational views on the prophecy of the end times according to the Scriptures. According to Thomas Ice, he gives three groups of preterists: mild preterism, moderate preterism, and extreme preterism. This last group which is sometimes referred to as full preterists will be the primary focus of this blog. The term "preterism" comes from the Latin word preter which means "past." This of course refers to the preterists understanding of certain eschatological prophecy that they believe have already come to fulfillment. Full preterist teach that all Biblical prophecy in regards to the tribulation, second coming of Christ, and the final judgment of the wicked, etc. has been all fulfilled just prior to 70 A.D.
