The book of Revelation is certainly neglected in the church and when it is paid attention it is often misinterpreted. However, I would contend that the most neglected eschatological book in the Bible is found in the Old Testament, Ecclesiastes. Here are a few helpful articles by some insightful interpreters on a book that most […]

Platitude #5 — “Acts 1:7 Teaches We Should Be Concerned with Evangelism Not the Second Coming”
I am continuing an ongoing series on platitudes, which are frequently uttered intended to deflate enthusiasm to study biblical prophecy, shutting down discussion of God’s Word about our Lord’s coming. Here is the next platitude I want to address. “Acts 1:7 Teaches We Should Be Concerned with Evangelism Not the Second Coming” (6) So when […]
Blatant Anti-Semitism of the Presbyterian Church (USA)
As a Presbyterian, albeit a member of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) it grieves me to see headlines like this, from Commentary: Presbyterians Escalate War on Jews. This story follows another, called Presbyterians Declare War on the Jews, and details the Presbyterian Church, USA’s outright embrace of anti-Semitism. Fresh off a closely defeated attempt to join the […]
A Brief Response to Jeff Kinley’s Misinterpretation of Jesus’ Words “As It Was in the Days of Noah . . . ” –Matthew 24:37–39
For just like the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. For in those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark. And they knew nothing until the flood came and took them all away. […]
God is Coming to Judge the World
Michael Kruger does an excellent job in exposing the inconsistency in Bart Ehrman’s worldview by showing that Ehrman is not really a genuine “agnostic” that he claims to be. See how Kruger uses the Reformed apologetic method (called “presuppositionalism”) to critique Ehrman. http://michaeljkruger.com/bart-ehrmans-worldview-problem/
This is Infiltrating Evangelical Colleges and Churches…

I Can Already Hear the Pretribber Teachers and Pastors Saying, ‘Don’t Worry, You’ll Be Raptured Before This Takes Place!’
http://www.infowars.com/the-mark-scientist-claims-human-microchip-implants-will-become-not-optional/print/ Thankfully, more and more Christians everyday are ignoring this illusory mantra and listening to what the Bible clearly teaches on this issue. And then we have the preterist and historicist amillers and postmillers doubling down on their stone-age hermeneutic claiming that the mark of the Beast is only “symbolic.” Let’s block out these false […]

N.T. Wright’s Downgraded Eschatology
https://larryhurtado.wordpress.com/2014/04/02/pauls-eschatology-further-comments-on-wrights-new-opus/ But, curiously [this is typical of non-futurist eschatology, which is, sadly, becoming much more prevalent in evangelical churches], we don’t get much about such things as Jesus’ parousia/return (mentioned, but not really engaged), resurrection of the dead (Paul believed it, but little else), final judgement (same here), the glorification of believers (same again), etc. […]
Happy Earth Day
“(1) Dear friends, this is already the second letter I have written you, in which I am trying to stir up your pure mind by way of reminder: (2) I want you to recall both the predictions foretold by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles. (3) Above […]
Happy “Jesus Teaches About the FUTURE Kingdom” Day!
“(3) To the same apostles also, after his suffering, he presented himself alive with many convincing proofs. He was seen by them over a forty-day period and spoke about matters concerning the kingdom of God. (4) While he was with them, he declared, “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait there for what my Father promised, […]
