Gog and Magog, Russia, Germany, USA or Iran?
Prophecy Conference Books
Perhaps one of the most exploited prophecies of the Jewish Scriptures, i.e. the O.T., is Ezekiel 38–39, which speaks of Gog and Magog. Who is represented by Gog and Magog, Russia, Germany, USA, or Iran? You may be surprised to find the answer.
However, if you’re listening to John Hagee you maybe mislead to believe that Gog & Magog represents a league between modern day Russia and Iran against the modern state of Israel. Such a notion has no place in Bible prophecy. It is a figment of Dispensational imagination.

Do You Have These Questions About Christ’s S...

After two rescheduled attempts, I finally had
my eyes examined today for new eyeglasses.
As they say, the third time is a charm.
Fortunately for me, my eye doctor said there
was no change in my eyesight from last year
to the present. I thought, it’s good some things
are not aging fast on my body!
Eye exams could also be helpful in understanding
scripture, especially as it relates to the end time.
However, 20/20 vision of the natural eye can be
a very blinding experience for Christ’s return.
Paul encourages us to have the “eyes of our
understanding” enlightened, (Eph. 1:18) That
refers to an inner vision of perception.
From time to time ...
Who Is the Ancient of Days in Daniel 7?
November 15th, 2008 | Book of Revelation | 19 Comments
Daniel 7, a hotbed for eschatological theorizing,
continues to baffle commentators, past and
present.
The solution to the identity of the Ancient of
Days is in my opinion, one that is without
controversy.
The most common designation this obviously
Divine character is God himself. This view
largely stems from the reading of the text.
Variant renderings are:
The Son of Man comes to the Ancient of Days
The Son of Man comes as the Ancient of Days
In the first rendering the Father is meant. In
the second it refers to the Son. Can we solve
this debate of Who is the Ancient of Days in
Daniel 7?
Have you ever overlooked the obvious when it
was ...
Pentecost or Armageddon, The Coming of the Son of ...
October 30th, 2008 | Armageddon | 1 Comment
One of the great battle lines drawn in the arena of eschatology
is the “Coming of the Son of Man” in Daniel 7:13, 14. Is it a
reference to the ascension in Pentecost of A.D. 30 or to the
destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, per Mathew 24:30? Hence,
our title, Pentecost or Armageddon, The Coming of the Son of
Man?
A critique of the text in light of three major views, amillennialism,
premillennialism and preterism reveal unexpected implications for
the time and nature of the second coming and the resurrection.
Preterism reveals textual contradictions of Amillennialism and
Premillennialism.
Amillennialists, those who believe in the present church age as
the millennium, thus denying ...
Is Preterism’s Timing of the Resurrection in...

Many would like to make the subject of the resurrection a matter
of the nature of the resurrection body only. While it is valid to
address and identify the nature of the resurrection body, it is also
valid to address Preterism's timing of the resurrection in eschatology
if futurists and other rapture ready advocates expect to build a
convincing case.
"When Shall These Things Be" edited by Keith A. Mathison a book that
sought to address the major issues of the preterit view with the hope
of convincingly refuting them, Robert Strimple had these comments
on the issue of time and resurrection.
"Obviously an orthodox Christian response to hyper-preterism ...
