I an both a Preterist and a futurist because I believe many prophecies have multiple fulfilments leading up to a final, absolute eschatological fulfillment

We discussed these schools of thought (Preterism, Futurism, Historicism, and Symbolism) in our reading of the first chapter of Revelation on the Jerusalem Thread. I too, believe in multiple and continuous fulfillment of the Prophecies in the Bible.

Even in the secular world, we have multiple examples of “coincidences” that are quite fascinating. The number of disasters for the Jewish People that occurred on Tish ab’Av is perhaps the most glaring example.

But we also have the crazy occurrences that happened during WW1, when Jerusalem was taken without firing a shot merely because General Allenby’s name SOUNDED like “Prophet of God” in Arabic.

And who can forget the coincidences that were circulated right after the Kennedy Assassination, comparing it to the killing of Abraham Lincoln?

Right after 9/11/01, the Internet was replete with coincidences involving the number 11. Even the image of the Twin Towers looked like an 11.

Of course, these are just secular occurrences that may or may not be mere coincidences. But the Bible is the Word of God. God is Eternal Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent. He is not bound by the Time-Space Continuum.

Therefore, it is quite possible to be both a Preterist and a Futurist at the same time.

My Humble Opinion.
