Did The Law of Moses Prophesy Till 70 AD?

Did The Law of Moses Prophesy Till 70 AD? If you want to see an Amillennialist preacher walk on pins and needles with tender feet,ask him this question.  Did the Law of Moses prophesy till 70AD? He doesn’t want to answer it. Rather, he will attempt to rephrase the question then attempt to answer part of it, and do a rather poor job at that. For example, search for this question in the archives of the Christian Courier by Wayne Jackson, and you will find it askedin this manner: “Did the Law of Moses Continue Until A.D. 70?” The blog post begins with a reference to the present ...

Is the Second Coming in 2 Timothy Imminent?

December 13th, 2008 | Eschatology | 2 Comments  
Is the Second Coming of Christ Imminent? Christ's Second Coming Do the scriptures in 2 Timothy teach an imminence about the second coming? Do you remember what you were doing in September 1988? Edgar Whisenant had published that Christ would return in September 11–13, 1988. The prediction failed. Believers felt deceived. The world was disappointed. Whisenant was embarrassed.  Are you disappointed at failed predictions? The following will show why all future predictions bring disappointment and how they can be avoided. Four dimensions of Christ's return found in 2 Timothy are, the judgment, the resurrection, the appearing, i.e. second coming of Christ, and the eternal ...

Dividing Matthew 24 – In That Day

December 6th, 2008 | Jewish Eschatology | No Comment  
We have examined two previous arguments on Matthew 24. See the previous articles in the links below. Here, the focus of dividing Matthew 24 – in that day deserves our attention. Why is this argument important in the discussion? It’s because most futurists conced it is the second coming of Christ. We do understand that there are some who see the entire chapter of Matthew 24 as fulfilled. Matthew 24:36 “But of that day and hour no one knows…” In the next lesson, we will discuss the concept of “no one knows.” Our purpose here is to show that “that day” refers to the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, not a future event. To demonstrate our premise, we focus on an event mentioned earlier ...

Will God Establish David’s Throne on Earth?

October 31st, 2008 | Jewish Eschatology | No Comment  
Who is the new king of Ezekiel 37:22–25 that will reign on David's Throne over the reunited kingdom of Judah and Israel? This prophecy is very important because it says that at that time God makes Israel one nation again, he would gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; and one king shall be over them. Some take this prophecy as a literal return of Israel to the land of Palestine citing 1948, as its fulfillment. Premillennialists have gone on record saying that 1948 was a “Super Sign of the End ” of the age, meaning the Rapture was imminent and that Israel had to ...

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 ...
