Futurism (Christianity)

Diagram by Henry Dunant aiming to explain Revelation and Daniel as prophecies of future events.

Futurism is a Christian eschatological view that interprets portions of the Book of Revelation and other apocalyptic sections of the Bible as future "end-time" events.[1] By comparison, other Christian eschatological views interpret these passages as past events in a symbolic, historic context, such as preterism and historicism, or as present-day events in a non-literal and spiritual context, as in idealism.

Futurist beliefs usually have a close association with premillennialism and dispensationalism. Historic premillennialism combines futurist and preterist views.[2]
