Completing The Structure

Using the analogy of a house, we laid the foundation in Part I, and erected the framework in Part II. What remains is to apply the finishing exterior to the structure. While a tract of homes may have many houses with the same floor plan, it is the different exterior styles and colors that individualize them. In a similar manner, most Preterists hold to the foundation and framework presented thus far. It is in how they apply various doctrines to this framework, such as the final resurrection, the rapture of the Church, the ministry of the Holy Spirit, etc., that their individuality is expressed.
