Scary. To see God’s Word come to life daily and deny it. I will pray for you mate.
I once saw two very smart Bible scholars discussing the end times. They were good friends and I think they agreed on most things but they had totally varying beliefs on “The Rapture”.
I will have to confess that part of it is hard for me to understand.
I was just listening to R.C. Sproul speaking on this very topic the other day. It made eminent sense to me.
Thank you.
It is odd that the author takes a radical position about the Eschaton and does not mention Revelations at all.
Amen! We are currently studying the Books of Daniel, followed by Hebrews, then the Revelation of John; i.e., in Daniel to the “End of the Age”, in Hebrews an earthly view of the transition from the Old to the New Covenants, and the in Revelation of John a Heavenly view of this same transition, even pushing into the “Age to Come”.
It really is the plain interpretation of scripture. And to miss this is to believe the Jesus came, but did not finish the job. He came to reunited us with the Father - in the same way Adam was in “communion” with the Father before the fall. Now - in Christ - we have been fully restored to our created position, “without sin” and Holy acceptable.
I celebrate this every day!!!
Amillennialism? I find the nation of Israel and the Jews a terrible hindrance for me to believe this.
If everything culminated in 70 A.D., that would mean that we’re 1000 plus years after the Millennium reign and must be in eternity now. Some how I expected things to be much different unless we ended up in the other place.

The muzzies are trying to immanentize it, last I heard.
HaHaHa...Only want to use and discuss the scriptures you pick out...
We know it’s gonna be CURTAINS for this world eventually. I cannot commit to anyone’s sure interpretation of prophecy, but I’m in Romans and Paul indicates there an imminent sense of the Day being “at hand”. You find this in other places, too.
Was it the destruction of Jerusalem? Was it the prescribed watchful state of any believer in any era since “no one knows the hour”?
I heard an interesting interpretation that the period of “to the Jew first” ended in A.D. 70 when God said “Lo-ammi” to Israel and then “You are My people” to the Gentiles (and the remnant of Jews “chosen by grace”) and made “one new man out of the two”. Paul’s later letters show a difference in how he approaches the issue, with an emphasis away from earth relations before God and to “the heavenlies” (Ephesians being the summum bonum of this).
I am unable to commit to anyone’s theorem until the Lord makes it clear to ME. Still in “working theory” mode, staying in the Word and mainly delighting in the awesomeness and goodness and lovingkindness of my Father. I do enjoy reading FReepers thoughts on it, lots of sharp believers here!
