A favorite Pauline term to describe members of the church is saints (hagios), which means, “to being dedicated or consecrated […]
The resurrection will be the par excellence event of Jesus’s second coming. Jesus and Paul showcase this event in their respective teachings. So when we come to the book of Revelation one would expect at least a description of it taking place, right? Pretribulation interpreters place the resurrection at Revelation 4:1: After these things I […]
Why premillennial theology matters is an issue that every student of biblical prophecy needs to be aware of. Premillennialism teaches that at Jesus’s second coming he will deliver the righteous and judge the ungodly. Then the righteous will enter into a period—the millennium—of peace and righteousness where Jesus establishes on earth his physical reign […]
There is a link between Babylon the Great’s persecution and the Bride. Babylon is said to be responsible for the martyrdom of many saints (Rev 18:24—19:2), who are identified as part of the Bride (Rev 19:6–9). And in Rev 13:7 the saints are described with the status of suffering as the object of persecution by […]
Last month I attended the lecture of Dr. Juan Hernández Jr. at Princeton Theological Seminary. He is a professor of biblical studies at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota. He delivered a lecture titled “Recovering Revelation’s Forgotten Textual History: Josef Schmid’s Magnum Opus for the Twenty-First Century.” In the last few years there have been […]
“But after three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and tremendous fear seized those who were watching them. Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them: “Come up here!” So the two prophets went up to heaven in a cloud […]
Unfortunately, the vast majority of pastors in America cannot answer this question, because they are woefully—and willfully!— ignorant of biblical prophecy. Eschatology matters. And it will continue to matter more as time unfolds. In recent weeks, I have seen the most irresponsible cherry picking from the Bible concerning Apocalyptic themes, haphazardly linking this world event […]
The short answer is because Christ is portrayed as the (1) omniscient witness to all deeds and to humanity’s guilt, and (2) the agent of God’s judgment (Rev 1:14–16; 2:12, 16, 18, 23–27; 5:1–8). The long answer is that the seals function as bringing to open humanity’s guilt before God, so that Jesus’s judgment against […]
