What if the tribulation, 2nd coming, millenial reign already happened shortly after Jesus said it would "come to pass shortly?" What if we are in Rev 20 after Satan was loosed to deceive the world and waiting on the New Earth? We have been lied to about so much of our history. Question everything!
This is something I have been thinking as well. I go back and forth between partial preterism and we are now in the end times.
The 'short season' theory would explain the rush of the mid 1800s to date to destroy technologies and architectures that may have been creates during Christs reign.
This!! Dispensationalism, pretrib rapture are all modern "christian" thought. I consider myself a partial preterist (meaning most of revelations was already fulfilled during the early church period along with the destruction of the temple in ad70, Christ is actually reigning, and will return in final judgment at the end of time). Regarding the millennium I've yet to decide post vs amil. Post mil is more positive, so I'd lean that way honestly
I agree. There is always a possibility but i know that if per chance Donald Trump starts demanding we take a mark then i merely dont take it and become a martyr.
The signs are pretty straight forward and those who love and trust in our Lord Jesus Christ are not afraid of death like those who whose hearts are fulled with fear and doubts.
Because multiple OT prophecies talk about the millennial reign, with proclamations that Jesus will reign from Jerusalem and that the lion will lie with the lamb.
As far as I’m aware, neither of those things has occurred yet. Satan should be bound for the entire time period of 1,000 years and unable to deceive the nations, but it seems clear to me that he has had free rein to do so for all of recorded history.
Lastly, the specific events surrounding the Tribulation have not been precisely replicated by historical events. Some people try to make Antiochus IV the Antichrist because he desecrated the Temple, but the duration of his desecration does not match the time period given in Daniel for the Abomination of Desolation.
I don’t think any of the events in Revelation after the letters to the 7 churches has happened yet. We’re still waiting for the trumpet.
In the pamphlet above, it would be MOST informative if we knew either (1) actual dates, or failing that, at least (2) a date this was published. Maybe the pamphlet is a year old....maybe 5....or 10 or 20. Who knows? As it is, it exists in a vacuum that is impossible to interpret.

It's as the addage goes... God Wins!
