[QUOTE="Paul, post: 2236406, member: 210568"] Lots of people have different views on the fulfilment of prophecy (especially end time prophecy) however they can roughly be divided into four camps. Idealists believe the prophecies have no literal fulfilment Futurists believe some or all of the prophecies concerning the end times have yet to be fulfilled. Preterists believe all of the end time prophecies were already fulfilled (most believed the second coming was in 70CE) Historicists are a little complicated, some believe that some prophecies have been fulfilled and others are awaiting fultilment and the prophecies especially in Revelation are a chronological order of which many have already been fulfilled and some are yet to be fulfilled. Whereas others believe the prophecies were all fulfilled in the past, are being fulfilled as we speak and will again be fulfilled many times in the future until one day there will be a final eschatological event drawing everything to a close. The historicist view has the advantages of all the other views with none of the disadvantages and is an extremely powerful technique for reading the scriptures however it has been badly misused wihch is why it largely fell out of favour with many chruches.
