From Wikipedia

What is Biblical Historicism?

Historicism is a school of interpretation which treats the eschatological prophecies of Daniel and Revelation as finding literal earthly fulfillment through the history of the church age and especially in relation to the struggle between the true church and apostasy. Historicism stands in contrast to Preterism, Futurism, and Idealism.

Emerging within the early church, historicism became a dominant eschatological interpretation in the Protestant-Catholic conflicts of the Reformation. A Historicist approach was taken by Martin Luther, though claims that John Calvin held to the Historicist interpretation are not universally recognized. Among conservative Protestants, historicism was supplanted in the 19th century by futurism, with the rise of dispensationalist theology. Historicism continues to be taught in churches arising from the Adventist movement.

New Site

Today marks the launch of a new web site called AdventCry. This site will be concerned with the careful study of Biblical descriptions of end-time events from the historicist point of view, as well as the cataloging of fulfillments and developments in history up to the present day.

AdventCry will monitor human events from this perspective and seek confirmation of the Biblical record, which urges believers to know the signs of the times and be ready for the second coming of the Lord and Savior of the world, Jesus Christ.

Interested readers are urged to participant in open discussion through the submission of news, letters, articles, book reviews, or commentary of any sort.

The goal is an enlivened faith, in constant expectation of the Lord's return, founded on the sure Word of God.
