We are continuing our series observing how Christian (futurist) apologists to Muslims haven’t been able to deal with Muslims stealing liberal and Bible skeptic arguments concerning how an imminent (and in their view “failed”) Second Coming in the NT overthrows Jesus’ claims to be divine and a faithful prophet. As we have noticed, James White didn’t even TOUCH the issue…
A Full Preterist Response to Reformed and Dispensational Critics The Second Coming, Judgment, and Resurrection of the Dead “ALL THESE THINGS” (Matthew 24-25/Daniel 12:1-7) FULFILLED BY AD 70 A DEFENSE OF GOSPEL ESCHATOLOGY Michael J. Sullivan Copyright © 2015 All rights reserved. No part of this book (still in progress) may be reproduced in any form without permission…
Here is the short version: The Lord providentially guided me and opened my eyes to Full Preterism by allowing me to first experience the frustration, confusion and errors of Dispensationalism and then later seeing that a synthesis between the classic Amillennial view and the Partial Preterist view seemed more exegetical and Biblical (ie. Full Preterism – which for a brief…

Does the orthodox view of Partial Preterism in interpreting Matthew 16:27-28; 24:30–25:31-46 help interpret Revelation 20:5-15? How does the classic orthodox Amillennial view interpret Revelation 1-19, 21-22 in light of Revelation 20:5-15? How does the classic Amillennial view interpret Matt. 16:27 and 24:30–25:31-46 in light of Revelation 20:5-15? Where does Full Preterism fall within these two orthodox views? Should Full…
If we compare the elements and motifs found in Revelation 20 with the rest of Revelation and that of the NT, do we see a literal end of time fulfillment or one to take place imminently in John’s day toward the end of the Old Covenant age in AD 70?
Seven Brief Points Which Prove The Full Preterist View of the Millennium of Revelation 20 is Exegetical and Orthodox By: Michael J. Sullivan 1) Reformed Partial Preterist author Kenneth Gentry in his writings informs us that the book of Revelation is about things which were in the past, present, and things which were “about to be” fulfilled in John’s day…
If it is “orthodox” to believe the following: 1) The resurrection and glorification of the Church in Daniel 12:2-3 happened in AD 70 – corporately, covenantally and Daniel was raised out of Abraham’s Bosom or Hades into God’s presence at that time and according to Revelation 20 (Partial Preterism). 2) The end of the age in Matthew 13:39-43 and Matthew…
G.K. Beale and D.A. Carson’s “Thorny Problem” In Matthew 24-25/1Thessalonians 4:15—5:11 By Michael J. Sullivan My proposition in this article is to prove that Beale and Carson’s “thorny problem” concerning their contradictory teachings and or associations in their writings of Matthew 24:30-31/1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 over the years is solved with the Full Preterist interpretation of these passages. D.A Carson wrote…
My Review/Paper on the Oct. 12, 2012 Criswell Bible College Conference on the Millennium The “Already” and Imminent AD 70 “Not Yet” of the Resurrection in Revelation 20 By: Michael J.

My response to Joel McDurmon and American Vision’s letter about Don Preston’s presence at Criswell’s Millennial Conference (see here: American Vision’s Letter to Criswell) 1) A Partial Preterist was invited – Kenneth Gentry, and yet McDurmon complains that a Partial Preterist needed to be there? a. Gentry claimed the “last days” in the NT was a period of time from…
Seven / Seventy Sabbath Rest and New Creation in the Beginnings of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John By Michael J. Sullivan The OT is filled with numerological significance pointing us back to the seven days of creation and Sabbath rest for the people of God. The NT points us to a New Covenant (NC) New Creation rest for the people…
By Michael J. Sullivan In this article I want to address two issues. First, is Joel McDurmon asserting in his debate with Don Preston that Abraham did not inherit the land promise and if we say that he did, then according to Acts 7 – the Bible contradicts itself. According to McDurmon if Abraham didn’t inherit the land or the…

By: Michael J. Sullivan copyright 2008 – Thank you so much for your understanding and Christian charity and integrity in advance. Editorial note: Years ago I spoke at a Preterist conference and developed the temple imagery from Genesis – Revelation. The message was never taped and I didn’t have time to cover all of my material. Here is some of…
