Van Impe, Jack
"Those who oppose the teaching of a literal one-thousand year reign of Christ upon earth are in direct opposition to the Word of God!" (Revelation Revealed, p. 233)
"Only the spiritually blind can deny the fact of a literal millennium. Only the willfully ignorant can claim that the teaching is based on just one chapter of the Bible." (Revelation Revealed, p. 236)
"Procreation still takes place during this era of time because those who survived the tribulation hour enter the Millennium with human bodies. The believers upon the thrones possess resurrected bodies and do not bear children, but the others do. Consequently, the children born during this one-thousand-year period are born with the old Adamic, or sin nature which has been an inherent part of man ever since the fall of man ever since the fall of Adam and Eve. Many of them, of course, accept Christ as their personal saviour, but many do not! Satan's release, then, is to determine whether or not Christ is real to these children of the Millennium, or whether they have been submissive simply because He ruled with a 'rod of iron.'" (Revelation Revealed, p. 239)
"By the year 2001, there will be global chaos. (It will) usher in international chaos such as we've never seen in our history.. drought, war, malaria, and hunger afflicting entire populations throughout the [African] continent..."
("On the Edge of Eternity")
"the composition of the number “666” spells the word VISA – the exact name of today’s most accepted and popular credit card” (11:59 and Counting, pp.106,107)
Jack's Refutation of Preterism
Rexella: Let me refer to something, if you will think back, to a movie that we promoted on this program called "Left Behind." In fact, its done so well so far they have sold about 15 million copies. And we had a tremendous review in one of our local papers here in Michigan.
Take a look at it: "Left Behind." Christian movie lovers should enjoy viewing "left behind." It is from the runaway bestselling novel Left Behind. And this is what they had to say just beneath that picture of Kirk Cameron. And of course he stars in "left behind." Its gotten good marks for movie making, mixed reviews for theology. Now, I'm gonna ask a great theologian, Jack Van Impe, about three different aspects of this article.
His name is in here, by the way. First of all, let me just say the word preterist, p-r-e-t-e-r-i-s-t. Preterist. Preterist theory. Jack, explain that to us. What does that mean?
Jack : Well, I will not name the ministers in this article, like they did me. Because I obey I Peter 2:17, where I'm told to love the brothers. Love the brothers. I don't care if you disagree with me. I still love you because we're one body in Christ Jesus. But I do want to correct some of these things.
The Preterist view is the one that all the prophecies of the Bible happened in the first century, and therefore have no relationship to today. Oh, really?
When did we ever see 1/3 of the earth burned (Revelation 8:7)?
1/3 of humanity destroyed through fire, smoke and brimstone (Revelation 9:18)?
When did we ever see every living creature in the sea die (Revelation 16:3)?
Or the battle of Armageddon fought in the earth (Revelation 16:16), accompanied by the greatest earthquake in history (v.18), accompanied by chucks of ice 120 pounds in weight falling to the ground (v.21) ?
You better re-think your view.
Rexella: So in other words, people who believe in the Preterist theory believe that all the things that we look, say will come, have already happened.
Jack: Yes. Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke chapter 17,21, have happened, and all these things are passe, finshed - baloney! (laughter)
Rexella: That's pretty far out. (laughter)
