As for me, I also see those who believe the end times in Revelation came and went and was never intended for 21st century Christians, as Preterits also.

These two views the preterits and the Amallenialists are quite interchangeable in things they believe.

Again, inside the 4 views, there are so many varying beliefs that it is very difficult at times to really nail them down to one basic belief. So it is also difficult to pigeon hole some into one viewpoint.

Preterists tend to view the idea that the book of Revelation was written BEFORE the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.

In fact, for many, that is their main point.

Amillennialism is a "point" (for lack of a better term) that both preterists AS WELL as what the RCC church holds.

They differ in their final thoughts...but agree in a quite a few of them.

It appears the RCC thinks the world can be saved...and will get better and better. (Denying Matthew 13.)

Preterists?

They just simply think Revelation was written BEFORE A.D. 70...and what happens after that? Most don't have much to say. (...that I have read...they simply seem to want to disprove "something"...but they don't have any final theology (eschatology) that I can agree with.)

So...in summation:

The RCC is amillennialism withOUT worry about the dating of the book of Revelation. They think the world is going to get better and better..through THEM!

(I disagree, once again going to Matthew 13 and what Jesus taught there.)

The preterists (seem to) just simply say: "John wrote Revelation BEFORE AD 70."

(I MUST do a sidenote here noticing their point in Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

They have a POINT there. One that needs to be resolved.)

I say:

Both the preterists and The RCC are wrong, according to the scripture I read in my Bible.
