Re: Why I Am A Futurist

Check this out, MTD.

The books of Maccabees are not inspired, but they are in some instances VERY good histories.

Ever notice how Preterists read into history books the way they accuse Futurists of reading into newspaper headlines? lol

Say what you will, but the early church fled Jerusalem AD68 in answer to Christ's command in Matt 24. Thank God they did not believe futurism.

And by the way, that is not true. I post TWO MESSAGES out of the ... I'm sure... hundreds of messages on prophecy, and while futurists are going to the newspapers over and over again, and I get accused of doing with history what futurists do with newspapers?

You guys tend to lose a little honesty when you write things like this. You have to admit that by FAR we use BIBLE to prove our points. In fact, I never even resorted to history until MTD asked for history about Antiochus. Try again, please.
