Beware of random TikTok madness

Recently, a popular TikTok channel surfaced pushing ideas like preterism. Those that adhere to this type of theology believe that the resurrection, has already happened. The bibliography will be found at the bottom of the article quoted.

“The term preterism essentially has the idea of “past,” and this word accurately represents the particular eschatological viewpoint that sees most or all of Bible prophecy as being fulfilled sometime in the past. Preterist Kenneth Gentry’s definition would agree with this basic thought. “The word ‘preterist’ is based on the Latin term praeteritus, which means ‘gone by,’ or past. Preterism holds that the tribulation prophecies occur in the first century, thus in our past.”
