Hebrews 1:10-12 - End of the World 2012? What does this passage say about the date of December 21, 2012? Is it a prophecy of the future end of the planet? This is what we call covenant eschatology. It is about the end of the a covenant. It is not cosmic in the sense of a physical destruction of the world. Note the passage, then we will offer a few reasons why this text says cannot be predicting an event of 2012 or other such event. And: 'You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth ...

Is the Millennium Past, Present or Future?

March 23rd, 2009 | Millennium | 1 Comment  
In continuing our reply to Preterism Is False, and Dr. Edward Hinson of Liberty University’s The New Last Day's Scoffers, we address the millennium. Is the Millennium Past, Present or Future? This means we are responding to both Amillennialism and Dispensationalism as tenants of futurism. Dr. Hinson, erroneously assumed that Preterism holds to a present millennium. We deny that assertion.

These were merely incidental to the accomplishment of God’s eternal purpose which was the restoration or reconciliation of man to himself. That is ...

Is 1 Corinthians 15 Israel’s Resurrection?

December 24th, 2008 | Eschatology | No Comment  
Much controversy exists over the resurrection of the dead. It is often denied that the 1 Corinthians 15 has anything to do with Israel. Is1 Corinthians 15 Israel’s resurrection? Many see Jesus’ death on the cross as God’s last word to Israel. Those who do are very tight-lipped about anything that speaks of Israel beyond the cross, (AD. 30). These are usually found in the Amillennialist camps. The cross becomes their line of demarcation. From that point forward, everything is all about Christians. On the other hand, there are Dispensationalists who see everything in the scripture after the cross as related to national Israel. They believe the church is simply a parenthetical “spiritual annoyance” until ...
