The Roman Catholic (Jesuit) Origins of Futurism and Preterism



Pastor Greg Price Recommends the Puritan Hard Drive


The Roman Catholic (Jesuit) Origins of Futurism and Preterism


The page linked above contains some useful research and information related to the Jesuit origins of Futurism and Preterism, though the authors are in the Seventh Day Adventist [SDA] cult. Therefore this information should be used with the utmost in spiritual discernment as their SDA heresies do come to the surface periodically.

ELLIOTT AND OTHERS


It is generally recognized that Preterism was first systematized by the Roman Catholic Jesuit, Luis de Alcasar, in his commentary on Revelation (1614 a.d.). Alcasar applied the principles of Preterism to the Book of Revelation in identifying the Beast, the False Prophet and Mystery Babylon with past historical events in order to shield the papacy from the Protestant interpretive system (called "Historicism") which identified the man of sin, the antichrist, the False Prophet and Mystery Babylon with the papacy and the Roman Catholic Church. Even Professor Moses Stuart, one of the chief and earliest proponents of Preterism in the United States, noted in his commentary on Revelation (1845 a.d.) the following in regard to the Jesuit, Alcasar (Vol. 1, pp. 463,464):


It might of course be expected, that the Romish church would not be idle, while the Protestant interpreters were so busy in applying the beast and the false prophet of the Apocalypse to the papacy. . .

But no one had ever developed this idea [of Preterism-GLP] fully, and endeavored to illustrate and enforce it, in such a way as Alcassar. . .

It might be expected, that a commentary which thus freed the Romish church from the assaults of Protestants, would be popular among the advocates of the papacy. Alcassar met, of course, with general approbation and reception among the Romish community.

The Counter Reformation is generally considered to have three aspects: the Jesuits, the Inquisition, and the Council of Trent. In view of the significance of the Protestant apocalyptic interpretation of history which prophetically pinpointed step by step the events covering the whole Christian era from the beginning to the end (i.e. Historicism - ed.), it seems justifiable to suggest a fourth aspect, namely the preteristic (Preterism - ed.) and futuristic (Futurism - ed.) interpretations launched by Catholic expositors as a counterattack. - Kevin Reed, from his book review titled "The Ecclesiology of John Foxe: A book review by Kevin Reed of John Foxe and the Elizabethan Church by V. Norskov Olsen, 1973, citing Olsen on p. 47.

Dr. Steven Dilday Reviews and Recommends the Puritan Hard Drive

Steven-Dilday-Puritan-Hard-Drive-Review.jpg

Dr. Steven Dilday

Pastor of Liberty and Grace Reformed Church in Northern Virginia


For a number of years now, I have followed, and benefited from, the work of Still Waters Revival Books, particularly the Reformation and Puritan Bookshelf CD sets... and now the Puritan Hard Drive.


The Puritan Hard Drive is a remarkable accomplishment!


The common Christian can now have a world-class Presbyterian and Reformed library at his fingertips, for only pennies per volume.


I do not think that it is an exaggeration to say that the Puritan Hard Drive presents an historic and singular opportunity.


The works on the Puritan Hard Drive have been invaluable to me in sermon preparation and in improving personal and familial piety. If these had been the only blessings attached to the reading of these documents, the expense (even if it had been much greater) would have been justified; but there is more here.


In this present time, a great many Presbyterians (particularly in North America) have forgotten and implicitly (perhaps unwittingly) rejected their Presbyterian heritage. Strangely, Westminster confessing churches have rejected the theological distinctives of the Westminster Standards.


Although the Westminster Assembly produced a beautiful statement of soteriological Calvinism, the histories clearly demonstrate that soteriology was not the principle focus, nor chief interest, of the Assembly. The Westminster Assembly was primarily concerned with uniformity in worship (in accordance with the Regulative Principle), the form of church government (Presbyterianism jus divinum), and Church-State relations (the Establishment Principle). It is a sad irony that the great and distinctive attainments of the Westminster Assembly have been ignored and rejected by so many Westminster confessing churches.


However, we may yet entertain the hope that these great attainments are rejected largely because of ignorance. The best books on these subjects have not been readily available; but (thanks be to God) they are available again on the Puritan Hard Drive.


For anyone interested in recovering our Presbyterian and Reformed past, the Puritan Hard Drive is a must.


It is my hope and prayer that the Puritan Hard Drive will be used by God to bring to light the things that were hidden, to call to remembrance the things that were forgotten.
