Bad Eschatology – Part 7

Now that we have been through the Book of Revelation, it’s time to get back to Bad Eschatology. And since we barely scratched the surface of Preterism, now would be a good time to dig deeper into what Preterists believe.

I’m horrified by what I’ve found and keep finding.

Why would anyone choose to have their name erased from the Book of Life?

Unfortunately, there are far too many who have, and it’s a deeply perplexing thing to watch. And, I’m not sure that I want to understand all the reasons why people have done this.

by

The idea that anyone would take a knife to the Bible, is horrifying. In fact, there is a question mark over the eternal destiny of all who do that. And no one does that more than the Preterists.

Bad Eschatology, Part 1 – Introduction

by

I dedicated much of my life to the Redemption of Israel. During my 15 years in Jerusalem, nothing was more important. It would be miraculous. It would be awesome. I wanted to be a part of that work of God. But then, our Lord dragged me off to Taiwan, and that’s when I began to see something serious:

The suffering and death of five billion people.

My hyper-positive focus on Israel had left me unable to see a vast catastrophe that would crush our civilization and kill billions. And, because of our bad eschatology, we aren’t able to see what’s coming.

Let’s dig in to all that badness.
