“(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, […]

Doctrinal Deception and Apathy – Eschatology Matters
Remember, I have told you ahead of time –Matthew 24:25 This warning captures the mission of Eschatos Ministries, which is why I placed it in the banner above. There are five opponents to this divine warning about the future coming of Antichrist’s great tribulation. 1. Pan-Tribulationism. This view is the most dangerous in my opinion. […]
Practical Premillennial Points…
The first article, I explain what the millennial debate is about—and what it is not about! I also talk about the binding of Satan issue and how it contradicts amillennialism. https://www.alankurschner.com/2012/03/04/against-amillennialism-on-the-freedom-and-binding-of-satan-in-revelation-202-3-compared-with-revelation-129/ The next article I urge that you never allow an amillennialist to begin the debate at Revelation 20:1. Never! https://www.alankurschner.com/2011/12/04/premillennial-nuggets-a-plea-to-amillennialists-to-read-revelation-201-6-in-context/ In this third article, […]

Progressive Dispensationalism, Reconstitution of Ethnic National Israel, and Acts 3:18
God does not break his promises. Let me repeat this: God does not break his promises. Acts 3:18 says, “But the things God foretold long ago through all the prophets—that his Christ would suffer—he has fulfilled in this way.” (Acts 3:18 emphasis mine) Acts 3:18 provides us a crucial hermeneutical principle for interpreting Old Testament […]
A Reply to Jim Hamilton and Other Historic Premillennialists
http://mydigitalseminary.com/3-premillennialists-duke-it-out/ I appreciated Darrel Bock’s response to Jim Hamilton: Bock: Unnecessarily divisive? Does the discussion of adult versus infant baptism apply in the same way? This is a question that risks saying internal discussion needs to be properly ordered and really does not matter. But these internal discussion are worth airing out because they may […]

One of the clips I want to highlight is of Walter Kaiser, who is my former president of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.

Why The Present Church Age is Not the Millennium: The Devil is on the Loose, Not Fettered
“Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). We need to be aware that the devil is a force to be reckoned with—otherwise, why would James give us this warning to resist the devil? This command to resist the devil requires that the devil is loose. It makes no sense to resist […]
