The Judgment of the Nations in AD 70
The Judgment of the Nations in AD 70 One of the most common objections to Covenant Eschatology is that the fall of Jerusalem was far too local of an event to qualify for the end of the age. In several public debates my opponents have offered this argument, claiming for instance, “Why would the citizens of Athens, or Rome, or…

The Fullness of the Gentiles – Numeric or Relational A Response to “Israel Only” #4 Please read the first three articles in this series #1 #2 #3 My articles in this series have been posted for several days now, and have caused a lot of discussion on FaceBook.

The Fullness of the Gentiles – Numeric or Relational – A Response to Israel Only #3
The Fullness of the Gentiles– Numeric or Relational – A Response to Israel Only #3 I want to take note that there still has not been a single serious attempt to prove, lexically, contextually, or by sound hermeneutic to refute my first two installments. There have been tons of diversionary arguments, lots and lots of ridicule and name calling, many,…
The Fulness of the Gentiles – A Response to Israel Only – #1
The Fullness of the Gentiles – Numeric or Relational – #1 A Response to “Israel Only” An absolutely fundamental tenet of what is known as the IO (Israel Only) crowd (mob might be a better description) is that when Paul said that at the coming of the Lord “the fulness of the Gentiles would come in” he supposedly meant…

Destruction of Creation and the End of the Millennium- #5; Matthew 24, The Coming of the Son of Man and the Millennium Let me give here the last paragraph from our last installment in this series: Creation is destroyed at the end of the Millennium. That means that Matthew 24:29f, Revelation 6, (Revelation 11), Revelation 16 describe the Lord’s coming…
The Destruction of Creation and the End of the Millennium – #4
Destruction of Creation and the End of the Millennium- #4 As I suggested at the close of the previous article, what I want to do now is to take a brief look at another text in Revelation that, while it does not specifically mention the passing of heaven and earth, it is patently parallel to the three texts examined…
The Destruction of Creation and the End of the Millennium – #3
The Destruction of Creation and the End of the Millennium – #3 As promised in the previous article, we want to turn our attention now to Revelation 6 where, just as in chapter 16 and chapter 20 we find the destruction of creation at the Great Day of the Lord. What is so significant about this is that it can…
