Preterists believe that the things spoken about in Matthew 24 (Jesus' discourse on the Mount of Olives concerning the signs that would precede His Second Coming ), and the Book of Revelation, are not about future events but of events that have already been fulfilled in the events leading up to and surrounding the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. In the resources below we show the problems with this view.

The Second Coming, Preterism and the Book of Revelation (DVD) by Charlie Campbell

Preterism is the view that says the events spoken about in Matthew 24 and the Book of Revelation have been largely or completely fulfilled in the events leading up to and surrounding the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in A.D. 70. Preterism (from the Latin word for past) is growing in popularity. Could this view be valid? What did the early church think about these passages (Matt. 24 and the Book of Revelation)? In this hour long teaching, Charlie Campbell examines the preterist position, the verses often cited to support their view, and gives numerous reasons why preterism should be rejected as an incorrect understanding of Bible prophecy. This DVD contains many of the PowerPoint images that Charlie uses in his presentation. Click here to purchase.
