Q & A
The questions the maps actually ask. Atavist theology is not a mood. It is a set of decisions about words, wars, and a kingdom. These are the objections that come back — from futurism, from full preterism, from partial preterism, and from the pew. The rest of the study is the long form. This is the file.
All Futurist Full preterist Partial preterist Common
Futurist Could “this generation” mean the Jewish race, or the generation that sees future signs begin?
Futurist Could “soon” mean “quickly, whenever it eventually starts” — even if it starts late?
Futurist Doesn’t Psalm 90 / 2 Peter 3 mean a thousand years is a day with the Lord — so “soon” can be millennia?
Common Is Matthew 16:28 the Transfiguration, or Pentecost, or only AD 70?
Common If he already came, why do we still pray “Come, Lord Jesus”?
Partial preterist Doesn’t the creed require a still-future advent, resurrection, and judgment?
Common Didn’t Paul condemn people who said the resurrection had already happened?
Partial preterist Doesn’t Revelation 20:11–15 still require a future physical resurrection and last judgment?
Common If it is all fulfilled, why is there still war, death, and unbelief?
Partial preterist Aren’t the times of the Gentiles the whole church age?
Common Isn’t Daniel’s fourth kingdom obviously Rome?
Full preterist Isn’t this just full preterism with extra years?
Full preterist Why can’t Revelation 20 be a recap of 19?
Futurist Isn’t Gog a future Russia, with Meshech and Tubal as Moscow and Tobolsk?
Futurist What about 1948? Didn’t that restart the prophetic clock?
Common If God does not know the future exhaustively, was Jesus just guessing about this generation?
