Preface
In October 2003, I did a TheologyWeb sponsored PalTalk Question and Answer session with a futurist. Though I had the pleasure of tossing out many heretical Preterists who disobeyed the room rules, the discussion itself was extremely frustrating. So, I started this project of going verse by verse through the Olivet Discourse.
That futurist kept snagging the discussion on the first few verses. I wanted to beat the wall with my head in frustration. However, there were several guys in the audience who wished to know more about Preterism, and I offered to go verse by verse with them through the Discourse in a discussion thread on the TheologyWeb forum. During this process I realized I was authoring a pretty detailed commentary and made it then a goal to finish the discussion and compile all the various posts into a consolidated and evolving cyber-commentary. If anyone has any additional resources or arguments that you think should be included, or you see any areas that are duplicative or could be organized a bit better, please drop me a note, it would be most appreciated. Also, I am by no means a professional writer and tend to get long-winded and repetitive.
The point of view presented will be the orthodox Preterist perspective. I condemn with the strongest possible terms the modern cultic movement of NeoHymenæanism ~ a.k.a. full Preterism, hyper-preterism, and pantelism as well as some self-serving labels used by its adherents.
