This past Wednesday, 2/28, we had Brandon Anderson join us on the Preterist Power Hour to share his testimony and the influence Preterism has had on discipleship journey. Brandon joined us from South Africa. You can review the interview at the following link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blMysZCV9zQ
Among talking about his testimony and growth in faith, we talked about resources that have impacted and benefitted him.
A few books he mentioned;
Linguistic Key To The Greek New Testament
A Parsing Guide To The Greek Bible
The Zondervan Parallel New Testament In Greek & English
Spirit & Life Lectures 2018 (Revelation)
Maranatha by Holger Neubauer
He also mentioned the influence of Holger Neubauer and Roy Runyon’s teaching ‘The Last Days Kingdom’ (a 144 part study). You can find Roy’s teachings on his YouTube at the following link, https://www.youtube.com/@royrunyon8119/videos
It would be remiss for us not to mention other individuals and ministries that are having an impact regarding the truth of Jesus Christ, especially Preterism, in Africa.
Simeon Edigbe in Nigeria with the Gloryville Christian Centre. Keep an eye out for his upcoming published book, The Day The World Ended.
Pastor Steve Magua thought now in St. Louis, Missouri, maintains influence and ministry with fellow Kenyans. You can find him on Facebook, YouTube, etc. (#AskThePastor). Also, he is hosting a conference in St. Louis this August highlighting the book of Revelation.
Lastly, Dr. William Bell of AllThingsFulfilled.com has been visiting Africa frequently and teaching on fulfilled truths. We look forward to having him on the Preterist Power Hour in the near future so he can tell us himself about his efforts and the fruit thereof.
Last Tuesday, we had Rosemary Endicott join us on the Preterist Power Hour. Rosemary shared her testimony and details from Scripture regarding Full Preterism.
Rosemary explained how Matthew chapters 24 was one of those texts that when understood with audience relevance and in its historical context, highlights the truth of Preterism. Discussion was had regarding her compiling an outline regarding Mathew chapter 24 (see attachment below).
Also, Pastor Jay D’Ambrosio has been providing a great outline to Matthew chapter 24 on his podcast, 1% Christian, which you can review on Apple Music, Spotify, even Facebook.

Post-Conference Thought from Pastor Michael Miano:
Each person left the conference with a testimony. Many who attended hadn’t met many other Preterists before, and surely haven’t been in a church filled with Preterists, so the testimonies of encouragement and affirmation were abundant. Our speakers challenged us not only with Biblical details regarding the Kingdom of God and our worldview, but also challenged us to live it out. Lovingly. Nonviolently. Trusting God. Drawing near to God. Dispelling false theologies and eschatologies. I will admit, the Kingdom & Worldview Roundtable, left me feeling as if we have much more maturity needed, and sometimes I feel like we are not focusing on the right things and/or asking the the right questions. I trust our contributions at this conference, be they messages, fellowship, or resources will continue to urge us on to maturity and enable us to be the kings and priests in the Kingdom of God that we are called to be.

Glory of God expressed through our love for others.
“People look at Preterists as “Information Hounds”…We have to learn to apologize”.
Matthew 6:2-3
Proverbs 6:16-19
“Faith in Christ Jesus”
When we love others as much as we love the Lord. That is the glory of God
We are called to a righteousness that exceeds that of the Pharisees. (See, Matthew 5:20).
