Dear John,

HH: The article does not take a preterite position. Some aspects of the 
490 years have been fulfilled. That does not mean that all have. The 
article is by a dispensationalist, and dispensationalists are futurists.

HH: No, I don't see them as all fulfilled. Daniel 8:19 may be fulfilled, 
but it is also typical of the end time. The other two have not been 
fulfilled.
