"...historicist, futurist, and preterist..."

Define the terms and I'll let you know.

I'm more than a little wary about how ~you~ define words.

Historicist, futurist, and preterist.....(define the terms.)

Jean, I'm going from memory so you might have to adjust these. I'm not an amill so I don't keep track of their different camps.

Historicist amill = The Revelation covers 2000 years of history (at this point). It is the progressing prophecy that covers the whole period from Jesus' departure to his return.

Futurist amill = The Revelation is future (as well as many other prophecies). It will transpire some day.

Preterist amill = The great bulk of prophecy happened prior to the end of the 1st century of the church with SOME things yet to occur. (You'll have to fill us in on which ones are yet to occur and which are already fulfilled. I think they do see a direct fulfillment of the antichrist with Nero and the Pope, but don't ask me how it can be both.)

So, those are the camps. Which is/are yours? And why?

Jean, I'm going from memory so you might have to modify each of these amill definitions. I'm not an amill so I don't keep track of their different camps. But these are the 3 different amill camps I remember AND I'm curious which you fall into??

Historicist amill = The Revelation covers 2000 years of history (at this point). It is the progressing prophecy that covers the whole period from Jesus' departure to his return.

Futurist amill = The Revelation is future (as well as many other prophecies). It will transpire some day.

Preterist amill = The great bulk of prophecy happened prior to the end of the 1st century of the church with SOME things yet to occur. (You'll have to fill us in on which ones are yet to occur and which are already fulfilled. I think they do see a direct fulfillment of the antichrist with Nero and the Pope, but don't ask me how it can be both.)
