I am reading out of the Niv...Acts 2-God fearing JEWS FROM EVERY NATION UNDER HEAVEN...Where were all these Jews from? The rest of acts 2 tells us...Peter tells us and addresses the crowd in Acts 2-14 Fellow Jews then he goes on quotes Acts 2:-17-22 in the last days God says i will pour out my spirit on all people your sons and daughters etc....verse 22..Fellow Israelites verse 29...Fellow Israelites...verse 39-the promise is for you and your…

The Bible definetly states that mankind was created in Genesis 1:26-31.If Adam was not the first man created then was Adam and his blood line was created just from a covenantal aspect?...I find it hard to believe that Cain slept with his sister!! How many Pastors and so called great theologians teach at the tower of babel that God change all the Tribes or clans lanugages....Genesis 10:5-From these the martime peoples spread out into their terrorties by their Clans within their nations,each…

The Twilight of Postmillennialism

Fatal errors in the teachings of Keith A. Mathison, Kenneth L. Gentry, Jr. et al.

Authored by Michael A. Fenemore, Kurt M. Simmons

Dr. Keith A. Mathison is one of postmillennialism's leading proponents. He describes his eschatological vision:

"...postmillennialism teaches that the thousand years of Revelation 20 occurs prior to the Second Coming...An essential doctrine of postmillennialism is that prior to the Second Coming, the…

Well, volume II of my book (The Antichrist and the Second Coming: A Preterist Examination) is finally out. Volume I looked at Daniel and 2 Thessalonians. Volume II focuses on the book of Revelation. It is 640 pages (540 pages if you don’t read the endnotes ;-) and is essentially a commentary on the second half of Revelation (chapters 10-22) and is very readable. I argue against both the two comings theory of partial preterism and the AD 30-70 millennial notion of full preterism (I see the…

I know that we relate this term "sea" to Gentiles often - but I think I may have stumbled upon another connection that may make some more sense of the term "sea" in Revelation. Notice what Josephus mentions below regarding the ocean.

Dear Brethren,

I’m very happy to announce that today I’ve finished writing a book on ‘fulfilled Prophecy’, titled “The Second Coming of Christ- Past, Present or Future?” 'క్రీస్తు రాకడ నాడా? నేడా? రేపా?' is now ready for printing. Wherein, I’ve discussed all major topics of eschatology and it’s the first of its kind work in Telugu (Indian) language.

In this book, I ventured to introduce theological terms (as well as concepts) like…

Voici une interprétation typique de ceux qui tiennent à une approche littérale de la Bible.

Apocalypse 9 décrit le premier malheur ou la plaie de la cinquième trompette. En sonnant de la trompette, le cinquième ange déclenche une action militaire qui durera cinq mois. Le second malheur, ou la plaie de la sixième trompette, fait apparaître des chevaux et leurs cavaliers. Nous pouvons voir ici qu’il s’agit d’une grande contre-attaque militaire. Nous lisons:…

Rev 20 (has time texts) compared to 1 Cor 15

1 Cor 15

55 “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?”

Revelation 20

11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away...14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. <= *** Revelation 22 has time texts tied to city. City comes in Rev 21 where NH and NE come and confirms h…

Speaking to Christ's end-time Bride regarding the Words of Jesus, the prophet William Branham said, "Here is a verse that will bear considerable thought, not only because it is most peculiar in its contents, but also it is virtually repeated in an age that is over a thousand years later. . . To begin with, the word, Jews, does not describe the religion of the Jewish people. It refers only to the people of Judah and has the same precise meaning if I were to say I am Irish born. These people…

The Resurrection Body and 1st Cor. 15.

But don't forget 12, 13, and 14

One thing I noticed in studying out 1st Corinthians and the resurrection body is that this seems to be a sustained theme in this epistle, the last part at least. People miss the whole picture who just focus on that 15th chapter.

Of course, as Preterists, we have a different view on what the resurrection body is than many Christians. I believe that the…

I am convinced that many - if not most of the 'Jews' (Judeans) in the New Testament narrative were actually Edomites.

The Old Testament in English presents the word that should be translated 'Judahite' as 'Jew', while the New Testament in English presents the word that should be translated 'Judean' also as 'Jew.'

It seems clear to me that these two words are not synonymous!

Here's an e-mail I sent to Presvytera Jeannie Constantinou which spells out my point... (I would…

This is a very interesting article by Dr. Tabor on resurrection.He has some different views then most of Orthodox Christianity. He believes the Gospels were written after 70AD and before 100.I think his view of Ezekiel 37:5-6 (dry bones) is flawed but he does present some interesting historical facts worth reading.

"There is a lot of confusion among Christians today, as well as among Jews and secularists for that matter, as to what the term resurrection of the dead means, whether…

Sovereign Grace Preterism - Bible Study - San Diego (Vista / Temecula)

I haven't mentioned it here yet, but the San Diego Study started up again (we have had about 3 or 4 meetings). We have been meeting every two weeks or so, at various locations. Typically it is in Vista or Temecula.

Ken Davies www.beyondtheendtimes.com has been leading it for us this year. Doing a great job.

I will start anouncing these meetings here on…

Christ: Physical and Spiritual through Eternity?

Before you answer, consider this:

God is spirit. Those who worship Him must do so in spirit and in truth. John 4. We know that God is essentially unchangeable, Mal. 3:6; Psa. 102:27; Heb.…

Many who argue against the Full Preterist view try to say "but at the resurrection people will not get married therefore the resurrection did not happen yet" - Let's take a closer look and see who really has the problem.

Luke 20

27Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question. 28"Teacher," they said, "Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and have…

Another proof that Genesis (Adam's death) is not about physical death.

Genesis 2

17but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die."

Check out the exact same phrase "day that you eat" used within the same book (Genesis) and context.

Genesis 3

5"For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing…

Samuel wrote:

Mike, in Revelation 20-11-15, where does it say that “the saints” came out of Hades? Many scholars see this as a resurrection of the wicked only. You may have missed the article where I dealt with this. 1. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Christians did not go to “hades” – ever. How, then, could they “come out” of Hades? Rev. 20.11-15 is the general resurrection of the “just” (v.12) and the “unjust” (v.13). In v. 13 the unjust come out of…

Paul T writes: I’m not sure exactly how Mr. Bennett thinks the texts of Rev 22 and 21 apply to the resurrection of the dead.

Ken Gentry PARTIAL PRETERIST: “Evangelical (and reformed) preterists (e.g., R. C. Sproul) take seriously the time texts of Scripture and apply those prophecies to A.D. 70, a redemptive-historical event of enormous consequence.” “Think of it: If these words in these verses do not indicate that John expected the events to occur soon, what words…

- 2 Peter 3 is about the “last days” and all Partial Preterists say that the last days happened.

- “Come as a thief” is found in Matt 24 (Matt 24 can not be divided) and early chapters of Revelation – which means Partial Preterists should hold this (2 Peter 3) as past.

2 Peter 3

3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming?...10 But the day of the Lord…
