King created a field of theology that he termed "covenant eschatology". He contended that Biblical eschatology was not related to the end of the space-time universe, but to the transition of the Old Covenant to the New Covenant. King offered a unique interpretation concerning the millennium as found in Revelation 20 as pertaining to the forty year period from 30-70 AD. He called this time "the transition period" from Old Covenant to New Covenant.
In King"s view, this transition opened the way for the full presence of God to dwell with all of humanity.
To describe this relationship, King coined the phrase "Comprehensive Grace". King"s transmillennialism emerged in the late 1990s as an alternative to dispensational premillennialism, amillennialism or postmillennialism.
In King"s view, the covenantal transformation of the first century serves as a model for personal, organizational and societal transformation today. King"s first major book, The Spirit of Prophecy, was published in 1971.
He published a monthly print journal, The Living Presence, for 15 years.
lieutenant is currently available in electronic format. King"s annual "Covenant Eschatology Seminar" spanned the 1990s and continues today as the "Transmillennial" national conference. Some of King"s other major works include Old Covenant Israel and New Covenant Salvation and The Cross and The Parousia of Christ.
King lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States of America. His organization is Presence International.
Presence International, a non-profit organization based in Colorado Springs, holds annual conferences that teach that all prophecy was fulfilled, including the Second Coming of Christ, the Resurrection of the Dead and the Last Judgement, by the year Anno Domini 70 at the Destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans. With the New Covenant fully established, all of humanity has been reconciled with God.
This view of Universal reconciliation is referred to as comprehensive grace.
