Realized Eschatology

Some teach that every prophecy, including Christ's return, the resurrection, and the judgment, was fulfilled in A.D. 70. This tract answers that teaching from Scripture.

Realized Eschatology: Understanding the A.D. 70 Theory is a tract by Carl McMurray. It explains the doctrine, also called Transmillennialism or Covenant Eschatology, and shows why it conflicts with the Bible.

Why Hand Out This Tract

This teaching has unsettled congregations and robbed Christians of the hope of Christ's return. The tract traces it back to Hymenaeus and Philetus, who taught that the resurrection was already past, and describes its modern revival. Then it answers the doctrine's claims about the kingdom, the resurrection, the judgment, and the end of the world, and urges readers to stand on what God's Word actually says.

What It Covers

• An old error: Hymenaeus and Philetus (2 Timothy 2:16-18) and the modern movement
• The kingdom and the resurrection: Ephesians 1:19-23, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, and 1 Corinthians 15
• The judgment: Matthew 25:32, John 5:28-29, and Acts 17:30-31
• The end of the world: 2 Peter 3:10-14 and the Lord's Supper as proclaiming His return

Ways to Use It

It's best suited for elders, preachers, Bible class teachers, and members who've encountered this teaching. Keep some on hand for anyone with questions about the end times.
