Do not fill this in! ===Counter-Reformation=== In the [[Counter-Reformation]], the views of [[Preterism]] and [[Futurism (Christian eschatology)|Futurism]] were advanced by Catholic Jesuits beginning in the 16th century in response to the identification of the Papacy as Antichrist. These were rival methods of prophetic interpretation: the futurist and the preterist systems both are in conflict with the historicist method of interpretation. Historically, preterists and non-preterists have agreed that the Jesuit [[Luis del Alcázar|Luis de Alcasar]] (1554–1613) wrote the first systematic preterist exposition of prophecy—''Vestigatio arcani sensus in Apocalypsi'' (published in 1614)—during the [[Counter-Reformation]].
