Announcing a brand new feature on Eschatology.org!I regularly receive a lot of emails from those of you who visit this site, asking additional questions about the topics covered here. You ask for further insight, more evidence, and sometime, assistance in responding to the critics. Here at the Ardmore church of Christ, I share your questions with the congregation by means of our bulletin board, and it is one of the most popular features. So, I began to think, if sharing the questions and answers with the church was a good thing, why not share that information with all the visitors to Eschatology.org?So, here is what we will do. When you submit questions to me, if it is an issue that I think our visitors would like to read more about, we will post it in the new section entitled "Questions, Questions, Questions." As you already know, we have a FAQ section for some of the most often asked questions, and so you can still use that. In fact, as the questions come in, and some of the same questions are repeated several times, we will post those most frequently asked questions in the FAQ section.Be assured of one thing, for privacy concerns, we will not post your email address. If you don't mind your name being posted, we might say that, "The following question came from John in N. J., or Mary in California," but, that is all the information we will divulge. We will definitely protect your privacy, so feel free to send your questions to us! When you send us a question please let me know if you want me to use your name or not. If not, I can just say, "The following question comes to us from….. mention of the state." I would personally like to include the location of our visitors so that folks can see that people from all over the world are tuning in. So, when you ask a question, tell me what state or country you are from!I trust that this new feature will be a blessing to you. As more and more Bible students come to understand the wonderful truth of God's realized salvation, it is natural that more questions arise, and resistance is offered. It is our hope that this new feature will be a great resource for you! For His Truth, and in His Grace, Don K. Preston
Hi Don – I’m re-reading your “seventy weeks are determined. I have some confusion re you saying no man could enter in the MHP until the plagues were finished against Jerusalem (Babylon). I understand I think what you are trying to explain in your book but how does the Rev. statement fit in with this: (Heb 10:19 KJV) Having therefore,…
I would like to know why do you still believe we should still be baptized ? I thought Baptism is a ceremonial ritual of the flesh the gains nothing…. I would really like to know ….thanks Hector Moreno
Don, I have been a Christian for some 40 years, saved and raised in Independent Baptist churches and most recently Reformed Baptist but have recently accepted fulfilled eschatology after some 10+ years of study. I have tried to make “Sola Scriptura” the sole basis of my faith. It was while studying the “judgment” passages, to determine if they pointed to a 1st century fulfillment…
Ken, let me first of all say that I appreciate you contacting me. I always appreciate questions, and will do my best to give a scriptural response to your good questions, below.

Question: I have done a fair amount of reading and it seems that Daniel’s 70th week seems to get stretched to a period of at least 5 weeks of years taking it to 70 AD depending upon the point of view of the preterist author. The view seems to be split 50/50. I know that Daniel’s prophecy includes the destruction…
Question: Josephus himself in his antiquities declared that to be the fulfillment of Daniel, so why would do people have a problem with Jesus comming in AD 70 to judge Israel? Answer: Well, you are correct about Josephus, but the reason why people have a problem with the A.D. 70 coming of Christ is because they believe, as you seem…
Question: I have read your thoughts on Jesus’ response to the Saducees about the resurrection and I am not satisfied by your answer. It seems to me that the Saducees had in mind physical resurrection when they challenged Jesus with the marriage/death scenario. First of all, this would have been Jesus’ perfect opportunity to share your point of view (that…
I have a few questions regarding Preterism’s view 1 John 2:18-29, 4:1-4. My questions are: Question: What is John referring to when he says "the Antichrist is coming"? (1 John 1:18–2:18) Who is this person?Response: There are several first century candidates for this person (personage). I recommend John Bray’s little book on the Man of Sin of 2 Thessalonians. I think…
Question: In the OT there is a few verses that use the term day of vengeance, Isa 34:8;61:2, 63:4 and Jer 46:10. To name a few. Do these speak of ad70? Have you written on that at all if so maybe u can point me to an article.Answer: There are generally speaking two beliefs concerning the Day of the Lord…
Question: I came across this question the other day and I wondered if you might want to explain this passage to me. Revelation 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the Temple of My God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the Name of My God, and the name of…
