Vern Poythress Theophany and the Seven Seals
Vern Poythress is an amillennialist. From my premil perspective I disagree with much of his eschatology. For example, in one article he writes: The new appreciation of inaugurated eschatology has already generated an atmosphere where we find some fresh exegetical argumentation in favor of amillennialism. Geerhardus … [Read more...]
Millennial Definitions
Let's briefly look at some millennial definitions. First of all, what does "millennium" mean? In eschatology (the study of Last Things) millennium is a word used for a period of time.

Experiencing Prophecy Burn-Out
Are you experiencing prophecy burn-out? I expect many of us usually can't get enough of prophecy updates and daily Middle East news.

The Pseudo-Ephraim document caused a similar stir years ago. Pretrib skeptics at the time tried to debunk either the authenticity of PE and/or its "interpretation, … [Read more...]
Sheep Goats Judgment and Social Justice Gospel
What's the link between the Sheep Goats Judgment and Social Justice Gospel? Can people be saved by doing good deeds? Do the verses in Matthew 25:33-46 support a cross plus works Social Gospel model? Or is there something else happening here? When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?' "The King will … [Read more...]

Go De-Fund Israel: And welcome to the end of the world. Let's go de-fund Israel! It is a godless secular state which consistently denies its Messiah. Israel commits human rights atrocities.
