I have a question for all of you Bible prophecy scholars out there. I’ve been trying to wrap my head around historic premillennialism, which is a subset of premillennialism.
Dispensationalism holds that there are the 69 weeks in Daniel, followed by the coming of the Messiah, then a gap, which is the church age. The gap ends with the rapture which triggers Daniel’s 70th week.
I know that generally speaking the historic premillennialists view the church age as foreseen in the Old Testament. Dispensationalists do not. The gap makes sense in this case, if it was not foreseen.
Do historic premillennialists view this passage with a preterist perspective? That the 70 weeks have already been fulfilled? Or is it something similar to the dispensationalist view? I have scoured resources that I have, as well as the Internet and I can’t find it.
I appreciate it.
