This book focuses on Historicism, which validates itself by comparing Bible predictions with events as they unfold through the centuries, and is therefore fully credible. This is not true of any other method like Idealism, Preterism, or Futurism. Of these, the last mentioned is very popular today. It is Catholic eschatology, which has given birth to Protestant Dispensationalism. Although these three methods differ widely from one another, they have one thing in common. In contrast with Historicism, they all deny that the papacy is the Antichrist of Bible prophecy. Preterism, as well as Futurism, in silence pass over many centuries of history, especially the European Middle Ages. Idealism is sheer speculation and also ignores the claims of Daniel and Revelation that point to a God who can foretell the future. Edwin de Kock PB 68 pages
