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 #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.

The futurist view is that the Law of Moses was “nailed to the cross,” with appeal to Colossians 2:14-16. Unfortunately for the futurist view, Colossians does not actually say…
