Daniel was told to seal up his vision because the time was “not at hand.” John was told not to seal up the vision because the time was “at hand.” Daniel was written – 600 years before Revelation was written. 600 years was too long for God to consider it “at hand.” Let that sink […]

Jesus said He’d return after many of His disciples would die, but before all His disciples would die. If this doesn’t fit our eschatology, is Christ the problem, or are we? What should we seek to change? His words, or our views? Are we humble enough to go through the process of re-examination? There’s a […]

“Earth” does not always mean the whole globe. In prophetic literature, it means the land spoken of. Proof: Isaiah 24:21 – And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. Isaiah […]

Prophetic language needs to be recognized or crazy ideas can emerge. Heavens = governments, earth = general populace, stars falling from heaven = rulers falling from power. Granting the ability to speak or to give breath to = declares laws. Earth also = the subject land being spoken of, in which case the sea is […]

The Bible says the “mystery” (Corinthians, Revelation, etc) would be fulfilled at the last trumpet (the seventh trumpet, to be specific) which is preceded by six other trumpets, which sound from the seventh seal, which is preceded by six other seals. Jesus tells born-again believing saints (Jews to be specific) to “flee” to the mountains […]

Morning musings: John mentions that the sixth ruler (“five have fallen, one is”) of the sea beast (gentile land/dynasty), which is also the fourth kingdom of Daniel (more powerful than the lion [babylon], bear [persia], and leopard [greece], which is also the city that sits on seven hills (Rome) which are also described as heads […]

It is simply not true that all post-millennialists believe everyone will become a Christian before Christ returns. Even the assumptions within the statement are wrong. It in fact, completely misses the return in judgment against Israel, in which the martyred saints participated, within the timeframe that Jesus said it would occur. Furthermore, Jesus plainly said […]

Recognizing the obvious fulfillment of prophecy isn’t a new fad. Eusebius (who helped preserve the writings of Irenaeus btw) saw it plain as day in 314 AD: “And all this prophecy of what would result from their insolence against the Christ has been clearly proved to have taken place after their plot against our Saviour. […]

The problem with trusting the eschatology of Irenaeus is stuff like this. It sounds nice and clean, but is it so? – Book 5, chapter 28, Against Heresies So where are we according to the Biblical calculations and genealogies? If Martin Luther is correct: 3961 BC was the starting point. It’s 2024 today. Add those […]

Both preterists and futurists alike are forced to logically admit that the “mystery of God,” what some call the “rapture,” is necessarily linked to the 7th trumpet. That means it’s necessarily linked to the 7-year tribulation. More specifically, it’s linked to the latter half of the 7-year tribulation known as the Great Tribulation. Futurists will […]
