The belief that all biblical prophecy—especially “end times”—was fulfilled by 70 A.D.
What is
Preterism
Preterism is the view that biblical prophecies—especially about the end times—have already been fulfilled. TGNN affirms a full preterist position, teaching that all prophecy was completed by 70 A.D.
ExplanationPreterism comes from the Latin praeter, meaning “past.” It’s a theological view that interprets most (or all) of the Bible’s prophetic passages as already fulfilled—particularly those related to the Second Coming, final judgment, and the “last days.”TGNN aligns with full preterism, which teaches that all biblical prophecy—including the return of Christ—was fulfilled with the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. This marks the end of the old covenant age and the full arrival of spiritual relationship with God through the Spirit.Preterism differs from futurism (which expects fulfillment ahead) and from partial preterism (which holds some events remain future). TGNN sees preterism as a key to understanding Scripture as a completed, coherent story, not an unfolding forecast.
