Instead of looking at this as a “change” from an old way of looking at women, we should look at Matthew’s attitude towards women as God’s continuous approval of women’s active involvement in His plan, whatever the plan may be. It seems that God had always intended for women to take a larger role, and for whatever reason, the women somehow always end up in the kitchen.

Now, there seem to be some tendencies in Preterism to exclude women from participating in the development of the movement; somehow they end up on the sidelines when they should be writing, speaking and helping with developing better ways to promote understanding of fulfilled prophecy.

A key thing we continue to stress at each TruthVoice conference, is how “colorful” Preterism is by nature, and how it has the potential to unite Christianity in a way never seen before. If Baptists, Pentecostals, Catholics and Presbyterians can all sit down and talk theology over a steak dinner, we should also be able to allow the ladies to have a larger role.
