“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the consummation, until many shall have been taught and knowledge shall have been multiplied.“ – Daniel 12:4 (Theodotion-Greek)
The NEO-Historicist Research Project
This project is dedicated to the recovery, articulation, and scholarly presentation of the historicist interpretation of biblical prophecy as preserved and developed within the Eastern Orthodox tradition. Drawing upon patristic exegesis, Byzantine and post-Byzantine commentary, conciliar theology, and the lived historical experience of the Church, it seeks to demonstrate that historicist eschatology is neither a Protestant innovation nor a modern speculation, but an organically continuous Orthodox approach to understanding the Apocalypse. By reexamining prophetic symbols, sacred chronology, and ecclesiastical history—especially as they relate to Jerusalem, Constantinople, the Ecumenical Councils, and the major spiritual crises of Christian history—this project aims to provide a coherent, historically grounded, and theologically faithful framework for interpreting apocalyptic prophecy in continuity with the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
