DEPremillennialism:

False doctrines Preterism (Realized Eschatology. AD 70): Unduly

focuses on the end of the Jewish economy andconcludes we live in the “eternal days.”

Uses the OT prophets to interpret NT rather than theother way around. 1 Peter 1:10-12 (2 Peter 1:20) “This is that …”

Distorts the covenants, the promises, the church, andthe Christian’s hope. 2 Timothy 2:14-18; 2 Peter 3:16-18 Makes them ALL temporal
