Do you have any books or websites you can link so that I can read more on the “historical” view?
Technically, the "historical view" has all the prophecies up to and in some heretical versions, including, the Parousia. This view was rather popular for most of the Church Age but has fallen out of favor for the Post Millennial view which borrows heavily from the "historical" view.
An excellent author who gives names, dates and places to the OT prophecies is a gentleman named Isaac Newton who also wrote "Observations on Daniel and The Apocalypse of St. John". While he wrote far more on theological matters, the secular world only recognizes him for his mathematics and scientific articles (outside his favorite hobby alchemy).
Gary DeMar has pretty much taken up the role these days as the apologist for Post Millennialism, which while far more faithful to Scripture than pre-millennial pre-tribulation eschatology, has its own problems. DeMar, in one of his books has a chapter on the 70 weeks of Daniel and shows, from historical documents, how the Reformed view has long been held as orthodox while this insanity of the Dispensational camp is new and heretical in its treatment of the OT prophecies.
If you would rather hear lectures on Realized Millennial thought, there is always Kim Riddlebarger, a man who came out of Dispensationalism and now fully embraces what is called "Amillennialism".
Its an investment in time, but well worth it.
You know a great deal. I appreciate the information!
Thank you!
