I am not sure I am convinced yet. 1. Babylon's heaven and earth passed - did Babylon have a cov? I am not sure this has solidly been shown. 2. Heaven and earth passed many times in the OT with apparently no covenant passing. 3. Lot's of church Fat...
Sam,
It would be great to talk but let me first send you my chapter on Daniel 7. It sets the foundation for what I am saying (i.e., the little horn overcomes the saints {the great trib.}, God comes and defeats the little horn and then the saints ...
Duncan,
I don't see anywhere "two" separate comings-up-out-of-the-abyss. Revelation 20 is a snippet view, condensed form. It seems, in your view, that you have to double everything.
Satan controls the beast. On one hand, "the beast which is abou...
Not sure I totally understand what you are saying, but the fact that the beast was about to come out of the abyss when John wrote has nothing to do with Satan being released from the abyss at the end of the millennium. They are two different being...
Duncan,
Your further remarks, though, note a difference. I cannot for the life of me see how you have Rev. 19 fulfilled, then, turn around, and have the 1000 years beginning in A.D. 70. This will end with, yet, ANOTHER "coming up out of the Abyss...
Hi Sam,
I'm kinda confused on why some people don't seem to get this either. Course, everyone is not at the same place at the same time in their studies, so I'm not beating anyone up over it. (not saying you are) And presuppostions impose onto ou...
Hi Duncan,
How timely! I've been listening to a MP3 on Matt 24 and something the speaker said made me think of Titus as the 'anti-christ'. I wondered if this was what you were seeing, and lo and behold, here is this post. LOL God surely does work...
Thanks Joseph,
It is always nice to have someone appreciate my writing (and yes whatever I produce that has merit ultimately comes from the Lord). The book is pretty clear because I have been working on it for 10 years! It just kept getting bigge...
This is a good presentation. You wrote, "It should be noted that these images allude to the original creation of heaven and earth in Genesis 1:6-10." Genesis 1 is the denotative use of "heavens and earth" whereas, later on, the connotative (metaph...
Mr. Duncan
Thank you. Wow! Your explanation is crystal clear. Please contact me with info. on when and where to purchase your new book.
God has indeed blessed you. Excellent !

A bit more.
THE NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH OF ISAIAH 64-66
In looking at the new heaven and new earth that would be established on the day of the Lord, one needs to also consider Isaiah 64-66. Isaiah 64-66 is the one section in the Old Testament t...
Hi Joseph,
Here is something from my soon coming book (The Antichrist and the Second Coming), out in about a month or so.
CREATION/DE-CREATION LANGUAGE AND THE DAY OF THE LORD
To get a better idea of what the new heaven and new earth that was t...
Joe, LOL about leaving your response on your own page. But look at it this way, everybody who visits will see the answer right here. Most of us are always curious how someone finds preterism (outside God's sovereignty of course) as it is not taught in your average fellowship.
Jeff, just as a heads-up (welcome by the way!) when you post a response, don't post it in the space on your own page. Right above where I'm typing now it says, "Leave a Comment for Josheph Warren Rohland". Hey it's fine but instead of Laurie getting your response on her page, your comments to her are on your page...and I don't think you intended to have a dialogue with yourself. LOL
I'm over here in Seffner just outside Brandon. Blessings, Chuck
Thank you Laurie. I guess I have been a preterist for 4 to 5 years now. As a kid I grew up sweatin' the rapture, sweatin' armaegeddon and sweatin' the Second Coming. The churches I attended were not clear on what they believed about the end times. They only taught us to be ready, as it could happen at any time. Thief in the Night, Hal Lindsey, Left Behind caused more anxiety. I married my wife, whose parents are waiting for it all to go down soon. We moved to a new neighborhood where on average , once a month,Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons would come knocking on my door selling their version of the future. I didn't know why I believed in dispensationalism , confusing as it was taught to me, so I googled" The Second Coming "on the internet and lo and behold , I see a heading with a word I had never heard before... PRETERISM. To make a long story short, my confusion turn to anger and resentment for wasting time , emotions , future plans on Futurism , but God quickly changed the anger and resentment to sheer gladness. My children will not go through the same mess I went through to get the Gospel Truth of Christ and His present Kingdom. Thanks for listening.
