I've seen it suggested that [Origen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origen) was in line with the [idealist understanding of Christian eschatology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idealism_(Christian_eschatology)) . Is anyone able to clarify this? What is the evidence that Origen was in support of the Idealist position?
(For example, [this answer to a related but different question](https://christianity.stackexchange.com/a/43554/21576) also uses Origen in support of a subset of the typical idealist position, without substantiating it.)
_For those not familiar with Christian eschatological categories, usually in reference to how Revelation is interpreted, the general categories are Idealist, Futurist, Preterist, and Historical_
