What is Futurism?

What is Futurism?

• A. The anti-christ prophecy was fulfilled in the past
• B. The anti-christ prophecy will be fulfilled in the future
• C. The anti-christ prophecy is symbolic only
• D. There is no anti-christ prophecy

Answer: (B)

Futurism treats the prophecies in Daniel and Revelation as meaning future events that will unfold in the end times. In this view, the Antichrist and related prophecies are not yet fulfilled (or seen only as past events) but are expected to occur in the future as part of the final sequence before Christ’s return. This distinguishes it from approaches that see those prophecies fulfilled in the past or understood purely symbolically. So the statement that the Antichrist prophecy will be fulfilled in the future best captures what Futurism holds.
