I know there are posts coming about partial-preterism and preterism that will really upset some people because they go against fiercely held and defended beliefs of many American evangelicals today. I’m not writing these to be divisive. I’m writing them because I think it’s highly likely what is being taught is incorrect.

For other people, what I write will provide the same proverbial lightbulb going on just like it has for so many others.

Please understand that every one of these posts has been carefully considered. I’m not posting these off the cuff. David and I have been reading, praying, thinking, watching, and discussing these topics for a couple of years. So if I write something that contradicts a widely held belief among evangelicals, it’s not that I’ve never heard the other views before. I’ve lived my life immersed in certain end times frameworks. And they honestly never made sense to me which was why I ended up joking about being a panmillenlialist. What I’ve been learning is the first thing that actually makes sense and doesn’t require leaps that defy logic.

I also wonder if part of the deception we live under is the widespread belief that we can’t understand Revelation. What if it is actually relatively easy to understand, but we’ve been indoctrinated to believe it is complicated and no one can really know?

I don’t have all the answers. There are still things that I can’t fully explain. But I do think American evangelical Christians have perhaps been sold a bill of goods and don’t realize it.
