Futurism (Christian eschatology)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Futurism is an interpretation of the Bible in Christian eschatology placing the fulfillment of the prophecies of the Book of Revelation and the Book of Daniel generally in the future as literal, physical, apocalyptic and global. Other views place the fulfillment of such prophecies in the past as literal, physical and local (Preterism; Historicism), or in the present as non-literal and spiritual (Idealism).
Futurism has both ancient and modern variants, the most common among modern Protestant evangelicals probably being Dispensationalism.
Most Christians believe that Jesus will return again to fulfill the rest of Messianic prophecy, see Nicene Creed.
