| "The Preterist view - that Revelation was written prior to the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 - cannot be supported either externally (historically) or internally (scripturally). The truth is the Preterists advocate this theory because they need it to support their allegorizing or spiritualizing system for interpreting prophecy. They would have us believe the whole book was fulfilled prior to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.... we have already seen that Preterists try desperately to find some internal bible evidence to establish the date of Revelation during the reign of Nero (A.D.64) in an attempt to prove the book was written before the fall of Jerusalem. This helps them avoid facing the fact that the prophecies of Revelation are yet future." - Tim LaHaye, (Revelation Unveiled, p.27,182) |
The Man Behind the Bestsellers Tim - "I believe God has chosen to bless this series. In doing so, he's giving the country and maybe the world, one last, big wake-up call before the events transpire. We have asked God to give us unusual insight in producing what we call believable conversions. Instead of producing a preachy book, we wanted it to have believable stories of Christian conversions that are reproducible in the heart of the reader. We're asking the same thing for the movie."
No Fear of the Text - "Tim LaHaye has written another book on prophecy. No Fear of the Storm[1] was written because LaHaye recognizes that dispensational Premillennialism is in trouble. "
