False teaching and false doctrine began early in the professing church and this one is a prime example that is still the hallmark of many today
The bedrock of preterism began significantly with the early fathers of the RRC, namely Augustine and Origen
This method of historical allegory used to interpret Bible prophecy has been dressed up in new package today and has become a popular theme among others even outside of the RCC .... and the irony is that these have disdain for the very organization from which this perverted doctrine came in the first place .... different slants, but the exact same deception
This mutually held dogma of preterism by those who contend with each other has to be coming from some other source that has infested the all .... it is one of Satan's most virulent forms of corruption of the human race
When the Lord did not return as early as some in professing christianity desired, the doctrine of Preterism was hatched
The scriptural evidence of His potentially longer delay was ignored and the method of historical exegesis became the foundational teaching of the RCC
This aberrant teaching contends that most, if not all, of the balance of unfulfilled prophecy recorded in scripture has already transpired ..... even the second coming of Jesus Christ
The same also bears the markings of replacement theology which relegates the Lord's nation of Israel to the past with no future inclusion .... those who teach these things must necessarily erase the clear and literal teaching of the scriptures on this matter and to then claim the position for themselves and their movements
The visions of the Bible prophets are all relegated to the past and the time of the end presented all took place in 70 A.D. related to the Roman invasions of Israel according to the the views of the historical allegory of the preterist
Large portions of unfulfilled projections of literal events are then either reduced to selective allegorical interpretation or swept under the rug altogether .... this is accomplished by very clever manipulations used by the false teacher
The RCC perspective has by propriety means acquired the position that this organization is in fact the Lord's millennial kingdom on the earth [which has not yet come] and that the position of the Pope is ruling as the representative of the Lord's kingdom on the present earth
And that for the last 2000 years the devil has been confined to the abyss so that he cannot deceive the nations and all who desire salvation must obtain it by submitting themselves to this "church" position and authority or they will be lost
This entire body of theology is rotten with deception and totally apostate .... definitely another gospel .... one of Satan's biggest and subtle lies to pervert the gospel of Jesus Christ
Satan is still the "god" of this world and Jesus Christ is not ruling through the Pope and his "church" .... Satan has not yet been captured and sent to the abyss as he will be at the end of the Lord's coming millennial kingdom on the earth
This entire ranting of the RCC and many other contenders for appropriating the Lord's rule for themselves is pure hobgoblin
Matthew
24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Peter speaks of these reprobate false teachers and one can easily recognize their apparent scoffing against the more sure word of biblical prophecy
2Peter
1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
1:18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Many pied pipers of ill intent for self gain have come using this same styled story across the broad spectrum of the professing "church" ..... even those who claim to be fundamental and literal interpreters of the Lord's Word [MSOG movements are all prime examples]
.... but if one is proficient in the study, these fabricators can easily be detected and their motives exposed
And so has Satan done his work in the mosques of Islam, the most overt "anti-christ" religion on the earth .... a different twist, but with the same objective of deceiving millions .... " God has no son and there is no need for personal salvation by Him"
When Satan realized that his multicultural paganism of the Assyrians and Babylonians was challenged by monotheistic Judaism and Christianity he set out to create his own design of the same, namely the pre-Islamic moon "god" "Allah" selected by the false prophet Mohammed
It is this apostate transgression movement against the Lord [
Psalms 83;
Ezekiel 38;
Micah 5:5-6] that will produce the rising of Satan's beast of Revelation in the little horn of Daniel's visions [
Daniel 7:7-25; 8:9-12; 8:23-25; 11:36-45; 12:7;
Revelation 9:1; 9:11; 11:7; 12:12; 13:1-4; 17:8-14]
