📖 Biblical Theology and Prophetic Fulfillment in Christ | In-depth exegesis | End-times discussions from preterist perspective | Accessible Essays and Articles

[Zachary Johnson @christfulfilled]

My name is Zach, and my goal in creating this account is to provide a space for thoughtful dialog, debate and research regarding what the Bible calls the "last days," from a Fulfilled Eschatology perspective. I hold to "Covenant Eschatology," also called full preterism, which teaches that all things related to the end-time — the Second Coming, Final Judgment, and Resurrection— were fulfilled in the generation leading up to and consummating in the AD 70 judgment on Jerusalem and the Temple.

I'm open to debate, written discussion, and video or voice calls too if anyone wants to investigate these things or thinks they have a rebuttal. I will write articles on X, but there's some larger projects I have and am currently working on that I will upload to a Zotero group library (which can be downloaded for free) and give access to anyone who wants it. I have an essay on the Resurrection of the Dead in 1 Corinthians 15 that I wrote 4 years ago that is about 70 pages long, a slideshow on the Seventy Weeks in Daniel 9, and currently I'm writing a commentary on Hosea from a Fulfilled covenant Eschatology standpoint. Lord willing, it will be done around Autumn this year and will be around 200 pages long.

Ultimately, my goal here is to glorify God and Christ by cultivating a respectful atmosphere of study, reflection, and attentiveness to what the Scriptures teach— and it is my prayer that those who find this page come to find that the Scriptures teach the Fulfilled view, or at the very least have a much better understanding of it than they did before.

@TruthSynod Sorry, turns out I'm not infallible 😂 I have been really busy this year and also preparing to go back to school so this account / substack took a back seat.

[Zachary Johnson @christfulfilled]

Due to X raising the subscription price for premium (which allowed me to do longer posts), I am going to be launching a Substack (link below and in bio). I'll be transferring most of my articles from here to there, and future new articles (see comments)

(1/14): The New Testament authors present the life, death, resurrection, and parousia of Christ as the fulfillment of a Second Exodus—a covenantal liberation not from Egypt, but from Sin, Death, and the Old Covenant world. This thread unpacks that motif in depth 🧵

[miqdash ✞ @miqdash_]

(1/13): Modern minds treat biblical symbols as “mere metaphors.” But in the biblical world—especially within a CE/FP framework—symbols are not decorative. They participate in covenantal reality. They are the architecture of redemptive history, not illustrations of it. 🧵

@GretchenMafiosa It went up $250

[miqdash ✞ @miqdash_]

(1/10): Most read 1 Cor 15 through a physical, individual resurrection lens. But Paul’s argument is covenantal & corporate—rooted in Israel’s story. The “resurrection of the dead” = the covenantal transformation from the Old (Adamic) body to the New (Christic) body. 🧵

[miqdash ✞ @miqdash_]

(1/12): Romans 9–11 is not Paul speculating about national Israel’s future. It’s a covenantal theodicy explaining how God’s promises to Israel were not failing, despite the majority rejecting the gospel. The issue is covenantal transition—not individual salvation. 🧵

@MessianicAge10 And the 8th day never ends, hence "no night there."

@parousia70 @ReformReveal I get lots of vitamin A

[Zachary Johnson @christfulfilled]

No. You rightly point out Paul is focused on "each kind of seed" getting "its own body." He is focused on, to use the term, corporate bodies of seeds. He's not saying every single individual wheat kernel gets its own body. His point is that wheat kernels, as a (see comments)

[Nick @ReformReveal]

In 1 Cor 15:38, each kind of seed is given “its own body.” Everyone is given their own body. There is no corporate body in view here.

[Zachary Johnson @christfulfilled]

@parousia70 @ReformReveal I dont see how

[Zachary Johnson @christfulfilled]

@ReformReveal Each kind (single) of seed gets its own body (single) is another way to put it.

[Zachary Johnson @christfulfilled]

@ReformReveal Each kind of seed gets its own body (singular).

It is not about a dwelling place "in heaven," but "from heaven."

[Zachary Johnson @christfulfilled]

@parousia70 @ReformReveal Aren't most fps cbv

[Zachary Johnson @christfulfilled]

@ReformReveal was to be away from the Lord.

[Zachary Johnson @christfulfilled]

@ReformReveal No, he's not. You even acknowledged in your original post that Paul's focus is on "kinds." Not individuals within those kinds.

The context of 2. Cor 5 is corporate body identity. Chapter 3 begins with corporate solidarity with the old covenant Body of Moses. To be in that body

[Zachary Johnson @christfulfilled]

@Marcionux I think that the cross soundly answers that question (John 2:19ff).

[Zachary Johnson @christfulfilled]

What exactly is sentimental about, "He who believes in Me shall never die" (Jn. 11), "We are the temple of the living God" (2 Co. 6)?

Those two tenets essentially capsulize the entire eschatological hope.

[Katapetasma @Katapetasma2]

The spiritualization required by Preterism renders every hoped-for eschatological fulfillment—except for the destruction of the Jews—into inane sentimentality.

[Zachary Johnson @christfulfilled]

For Paul, the righteous dead ones (one seed) will get their own body, and it will be the body of Christ.

[Zachary Johnson @christfulfilled]

Paul quotes Hosea at the beginning and end of 1 Corinthians 15, and in Hosea, Israel (as a corporate body) is pictured as a seed that God sows in the ground until she rises back to life.
