Excerpt
Introduction.
Of the many ideas given on the subject of how God might intend to wind down his salvation plan for man and bring closure to the church age is given in the theory that the armies of the Lord and Satan are currently being drawn toward Eden. The territory of ancient Mesopotamia, what we call today the territories of the Middle East. The question is since this is exactly what's happening today, is this just to be seen as coincidence, or the fulfillment of the Lord's prophecy? Just coincidence that God in the end would lead man and his people full circle back to Eden? Back to the very area and part of the world that Satan's lie began going out to the four corners of the earth for these thousands of years. God reveals to us that "He doesn't change," so it makes Biblical sense that Satan will be defeated there, in that very area called the Middle East to finish God's salvation plan for mankind.
When any vital doctrine of the word of God has been neglected in discussion and preaching from the pulpit, or has suffered serious attacks by its critics, it is of up most responsibility of those Christians who uphold a biblical doctrine to reaffirm this truth as strongly as possible. Yet the prophesies about the second coming of Christ has been highly neglected by many within the body of Christ today. Yet the prophesies of Christ's return is presented throughout the scriptures. Today sadly, many believers are quite content and satisfied with their position in today's world. Millions in the church have neglected the Old and New Testament prophesies during the last century due to the erroneous interpretive system of spiritualizing and allegorizing the language of the scriptures.
The word "eschatology" means the study of the last times or final events leading to the second coming of Christ spoken of in the Bible. There are various views concerning eschatology, but the two major positions are seen as being "past fulfillment" and "future fulfillment" to put it simply. The "past" position or view called "Preterism" is the theory that all or most of the events prophesied in the Old and New Testament (including Revelation) were fulfilled in the past, specifically in 70 A.D. The idea is that with the Roman siege of Jerusalem and destruction of the temple, the New Testament prophecies were fulfilled. Additionally, because of their belief that New Testament prophecy has been fulfilled in the distant past, preterists typically reject any biblical basis for knowing when Jesus will come. That is no biblical signs are given, so we have no way to know. It could be this year, or it could be in thousands of years. The "full preterists" believe that the second coming of Jesus, the resurrection, the judgment, etc., all occurred in 70 A.D., and the world or age as we know it today will never end. The "futurist" position overall is that the events prophesied in the New Testament, and among Old Testament prophecies given in certain books are future, with the notable exception of the siege of Jerusalem and destruction of the temple which clearly occurred in 70 A.D.
The Christian preachers and teachers who share certain ideas regarding prophetic end-time information, after a close examination of their teachings appear to have misunderstood the Old and New Testament. These ideas have produced the false teachings that 1. the old system of animal sacrifice will be restored; 2.the temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem; 3.all Israel (the Jewish nation) will be saved; 4.the anti-Christ and the false prophet are to be two coming super individuals whom the world will follow,etc.---. The many that follow and teach these views have stated to viewers on T.V., radio, or in books they write on these prophetic views, also teach that the church is "not Israel" (Jew and Gentile). This teaching shows a foundational misunderstanding regarding the New Covenant.
In our studies through the years, we have found that preterism and futurism go to the extreme in their exegesis and hermeneutics of scripture in order to maintain their belief systems. Preterists go to the extreme in "symbolizing or spiritualizing" various texts, while futurists go to the extreme in "literalizing" various texts. Both are guilty of doing this, yet both strongly deny doing so.
Our basic approach to God's prophetic word must be a literal one first. Once we follow this literal system we come to deal with specific words and phrases. Should we take a particular word literally or symbolically? Sometimes the choice is easy, sometimes not. Example; John 1-28 tells us that John the Baptist was baptizing at he Jordan River, so we see no interpretive problem. The next verse states that Jesus is the "Lamb of God," we have no interpretive problem here either. We recognize that the word "Lamb" is used in a figurative way to communicate scripture truth given about Jesus. So we know and see that symbols and figures of speech represent something literal. Therefore it is the task of the reader of scripture to investigate and study this figurative language to discover the literal truth that is there.
The literal system approach is necessary because of the nature of scripture. Thus for a fuller understanding of prophetic texts, to avoid wrong conclusions, it is vitally important to compare prophecy with prophecy. Since God is the Author of all the scriptures, we can have faith that no prophetic scripture will contradict another. God is not the author of confusion, and will not contradict himself. So to note again, it is vitally important that the student of prophecy compare scripture with scripture. This takes long and hard study but well worthwhile for one who truly desires to find God's truth given us through the blood of Christ, His Son, and our Lord. With this in mind, in seeking God's truth and Salvation Plan for mankind, we look to God's Holy Word.

Jesus said, "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden." The world's need for strong and convicted leadership in our time cannot be underestimated. The body of Christ is God's primary instrument on the earth today, and our greatest responsibility as a people of God. A quick look through scripture reveals to us that many men and women responded to a divine initiative in the world. Seeing the future means nothing if no appropriate action is taken. Noah for instance, saw a coming flood and prepared an ark. Moses saw a coming deliverance and spoke to Pharoah. Peter recognized God's desire to release the gospel to the Gentiles and preached in the home of Cornelius. This has become one of the primary reasons why this author felt the need to write :"The Expanded Edition of Revealing Eschatology." For in this edition it begins at the very beginning, The Lord's creation of the universe, mankind, and God's salvation plan for mankind, from Genesis to Revelation, with further in depth scientific, historical and Biblical evidences of God's salvation plan. Issues and topics not given in the author's first book "Revealing Eschatology."

Revealing Eschatology.
The word "Eschatology "means the study of the last times or final events leading to the second coming of Christ spoken of in the Bible.

With this in mind, in seeking God's Truth and Salvation Plan for mankind, we look to God's Holy Word. In so doing, we will begin with an apolegetic of the preterist and futurist views of the doctrines they teach, and go to the scriptures, beginning in Genesis, concerning the "Land Covenant," and continue from there to the book of Revelation. The Lord's Salvation Plan for mankind.
