An interesting point. As it will not only have dispensationals crash like a house of cards, but all historic futurists (pre-millennials), Amillennials, Post-Millennials, the writings and understanding of the ECFs and every creed defining the second coming as future will come crashing down.
But those competing, in some areas, but agreeing on the most basic truths of a physical second coming future and resurrection and judgment, eschatologies of thousands of years must bend the knee to Phil's doctrine.
So Phil is right and all those other theologians looking at the same texts and human history were wrong! The second coming is past you say, but they say not so, but Phil is right because he says so.

What is your point? Are saying we should cling to erroneous interpretations for old time sake; like the Jews did before Christ? Sounds like a death wish.
Besides, in recent history (the past 200-300 years) there has a been major change in the way scholars perceive the dating of the Revelation. Many modern scholars, who espouse the early-date interpretation were former dispensationalists, like Philip Mauro and Ken Gentry.

There is no need to give me undeserved credit. All I do, like many now do and have done in the past, is interpret “this generation” as “this generation:” not as “that generation.” I cannot take credit for that. The disciples were the first to interpret that way, and there have been many afterward, including an explosion of them in the past few centuries.

Why do you always seem to be mischaracterizing what I say and believe?
