Understanding The Revelation (Part 2) - Revelation 13:11-18

We are looking at Revelation from the full Preterist view; this view understands all of the prophecies in Revelation as having already been fulfilled. This view says that the Great Tribulation, the Rapture, the Resurrection, the Judgment, the Second Coming of Christ are all behind us. According to Preterists (full and partial), the Great Tribulation was the destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman army in A.D.70. This has been the belief of Christians throughout the history of the Church until the last hundred years or so. We based our approach on the hermeneutical principle of audience relevance, which asks what did the original readers understand the passage to mean. 02/21/10 - Pastor David B.
