Yes, I have...and just about every thing else written on the subject. Hank Hanegraaf is a Preterist. Of which (Preterism), I believe is twilight zone stuff. Heresy, in my opinion.

Actually he doesn’t, even though he is often times accused of such. The best that can be said is he is a half Preterist, because many things the Preterism beliefs he disagrees with. For one thing he vehemently denies Christ ever returned the 2nd time as pretists do.

I understand where he comes from even if I do not agree with everything he thinks on eschatology, but a lot of what you espoused above is what he does.

You really should look back into what he leans towards, many who have attacked him have labeled him with the Preterism label but they are wrong.

It is like those who claim he is a cessationismt, but he is not. He just does not believe the gifts of the tongue, etc. etc. are not as prevalent as many modern evangelicals claim.

Where many come in disagreement with Hank is his disbelief in the rapture of the church, or the separate prophecy for the church verses that of the Jews. He believe that the Church replaced the Jewish religion as the proper and true bearers of the covenant with God. Such as unless you accept Christ you cannot be saved.

Now because he does not believe in the rapture of the church, he does not agree with many of the prophecies that come along with the pretrib or the posttrib teachings. That is where he gets into trouble with man modern day evangelicals.

It must be taken into consideration that before the Scofield Bible, a very small minority even believed in the rapture as we know it today. However, the Scofield Bible was the most read Bible by the turn of the 19 century and everyone was getting his understanding of the prophecies. Many of the following teache4rs of dispensationalism followed his understanding as they went on to seminaries and thus taught his teachings.

The impact of Scofield cannot be ignored when considering eschatology after the early 1900’s. Now 95% of all seminary schools teach the same as Darby and Scofield.

I personally lean in the direction of dispensationalism, but I often question pow much was because of many years of repeating such teachings in not just religious circles, but also secular Movies, and literature.
