"But there is further reason, and a pressing one today, why we should write upon our present subject, and that is to expose the modern and pernicious error of Dispensationalism. This is a device of the Enemy, designed to rob the children of no small part of that bread which their heavenly Father has provided for their souls; a device wherein the wily serpent appears as an angel of light, feigning to "make the Bible a new book" by simplifying much in it which perplexes the spiritually unlearned. It is sad to see how widely successful the devil has been by means of this subtle innovation."A.W. Pink "A study of Dispensationalism"
Thanks for this.
No prophetic scripture stands alone. They are all parts of a mosaic.
Christian Theonomy site purporting to teach us the scriptures!

Well worth reading.
This is what happened when truth-seeking became warped beyond recognition into a perpetual battlefield littered with the corpses of "proof text" references that have done nothing wrong, but collectively are all guilty of something as far as the eye can see, from *whichever* direction the combatants are looking. It's always those other people who need to be conquered and subjugated.
If a doctor continually pointed to his impressive wall of diplomas and awards as proof of his wisdom and capabilities, I'd be just a tad skeptical. I'll believe what his works actually demonstrate, not sales pitches that don't ever translate into results, only more pointing to the writing on the wall, over and over again.
Many teachers, many opposing solutions for the same body because "good scholars disagree.." Kind of like carpenters with their math skills.
Good carpenters disagree. /s
The proof is in the Temple construction, how it's actually coming along.
All blocks, no brains... it really does look like a hurricane hit this article hard. A rebellious house. All hammer, no nails. Or all nails, no hammer, with nobody interested in pooling the resources to accomplish something constructive for a change.
No mention of the keystone verses sitting above it all, in the massive wall of masterful "proof texts". That's the typical blueprint for the many expert interpretations. No one would ever suspect that Ezekiel was looking at the Founders, spinning in their graves. Amber = chashmal = electricity. Free energy perpetual motion machine. Wheels within wheels. Walls on wheels.
Daniel 9
22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.
23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem...
Matthew 13"Your foundations are the most important part of your build"31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
The best arguments against the dispensationl view of the 70th week:
1. Nowhere in the Bible does God state that he has commissioned a 3rd Temple or will do so in the future. A phony temple cannot be defiled.
2. After the Messiah’s crucifixion, God no longer dwells in temples but rather, in the hearts of his saints. If he were to commission a third temple — or even allow a phony one to be built — he would be dissing his son, the Messiah.

(Messiah cut off, end of the 62 weeks)
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, Daniel 9:25,26
BTW, I thought Catholics believed that the Book of Daniel is a pseudepigraph from the Maccabbean era?
Do all these posts have something to do with having some sort of grudge against Jews or Israel?
