Preterism is a authoritarian letter based system which believes that the natural fulfillments that occured during the desturction of Jerusalem were REALLY spiritual fulfillments.
Kurt Simmons
What is Preterism? Preterism upholds the authority and integrity of the word of God against theories of purported postponement and double fulfillment. Preterism is the affirmation that prophecy culminated and came to an end in Christ, and that Christ's prophetic utterances were fulfilled when and as he said they would.
