A Surprise From the Supervolcano Under Yellowstone Beneath Yellowstone National Park lies a supervolcano, a behemoth far more powerful than your average volcano. It has the ability to expel more than 1,000 cubic kilometers of rock and ash at once — 250,000 times more material than erupted from Mount St. Helens in 1980, which killed […]
Quick Update on The Biblical Prophecy Program™
We will resume The Biblical Prophecy Program™ in October. I took a brief break in August to write up a spate of substantive blog articles that will continue to be posted in the month of September!
The ‘Thousand Years’ Reference in Revelation 20 Indicates a Period of Time
Last week I responded to an objection that the thousand years reference in the book of Revelation is not literal. I want to address a similar objection. But this time it is not an objection by amillennialists. Premillennialists and amillennialists agree with each other that the thousand years reference denotes a temporal period, that is, a […]
Answering a Common Amillennial Objection to Premillennialism on When Death Is Eliminated in Relation to the Millennium
Leaving aside the question of the timing of the millennium for this article, though it is related to this issue here, amillennialists, such as Sam Storms, adduce a common objection against premillennialism. He and other amillennialists cite 1 Cor 15:25–26 as evidence for amillennialism: “For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under […]
A brief reply to those who claim the ‘one thousand years’ millennium in the book of Revelation is ‘figurative’ rather than literal
Many interpreters claim that the references in the book of Revelation in Chapter 20 to the one thousand year millennium is figurative because (1) other references to numbers in the book of Revelation are figurative, and (2) the book of Revelation is full of figurative language. I would disagree with (1) because there are good […]
Pretrib Bill Salus Contradicts Pretrib Billy Crone on Prophecy Watchers (Video)
A few weeks back Gary Stearman host of Prophecy Watchers interviewed pretrib teacher Billy Crone about his book on the seals of Revelation where Crone takes the typical pretrib interpretation that the seals are part of the day of the Lord’s wrath. (I have written a refutation to Crone on his flawed interpretation of the […]
Pretribulational teachers add ANOTHER dispensation to human history in order to protect imminence theology against prewrath eschatology
All theologians believe the Bible teaches that human history is made up of a variety of dispensations where God works in a special redemptive mode and epoch. What is debated, however, is the number of dispensations and the nature of them. I believe Paul outlines at least four fundamental dispensations (oikonomia) in human history in […]
Council on Dispensational Hermeneutics
The Council on Dispensational Hermeneutics is a group of traditional dispensationalists made up of mostly pretribulationists, some I have interacted with on the blog. Even though I think they are wrong-headed on pretribulational theology, there are other points that I believe we can learn from them on, for example, the question of Israel’s future, premillennialism, […]
Megiddo, Israel with Dr. Randall Price (Video)
“Also known as Armageddon, el-Lejjun, Tel el-Mutesellium, Tell el-Mutesellim, Tel Megiddo, Campus Legionis, Har Megiddo, Har-Megeddon, Harmagedon, Isar-Megiddo, Legio, Lejjun, Megiddon From the earliest historical records of the area (Thutmose III) to the future (Revelation 16), Megiddo assumes a prominent role. This is largely owing to its strategic location astride the Megiddo Pass (Wadi Ara) […]
