Shadows or types are those things in the Bible which point to greater truths. This is taught in several places. Of especially poignant use is Colossians 2:16-17: Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of […]

Jesus is Not on David’s Throne
May 27, 2013 by 4 Comments
The Davidic Covenant is comprised of promises made by God to David, making it unconditional. The information most pertinent to understanding the Millennium is first found in 2 Samuel 7:10-13: And I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place and be […]
Daniel 2:44 and the Failure of Preterism
May 24, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Preterism is a form of eschatology that holds to the belief that all of Biblical prophecy was fulfilled by or soon after 70 A.D. with the destruction of Jerusalem. There is also partial Preterism which is exactly what it sounds like. There are vagaries within the partial preterist camp. Suffice it to say the partial […]
Tertullian Does Not Want You to Baptize Your Babies
May 24, 2013 by 1 Comment
John MacArthur has written a powerful work entitled “A Scriptural Critique of Infant Baptism.” My own awareness of this teaching came from an almost visceral anger toward it from paedobaptists (advocates of infant baptism). MacArthur has effectively given new life to the old debate on the practice of infant baptism. Both seminary trained theologians and […]
John 3:16 and John Calvin

INTRODUCTION John 3:16 is undoubtedly the most famous verse in all of Scripture. This is likely to be true in large part due to the verse’s succinct summary of the Gospel. The verse teaches that God gave His only son according to the manner in which He loved the world. It further explains that, whoever […]
The Sacrifices Performed in the Millennial Temple are in Harmony with That of the Messiah
May 24, 2013 by 11 Comments
SACRIFICES IN HARMONY Many critics of the literal, grammatical, historical interpretation of prophecy attempt to discredit the hermeneutic by claiming that to believe in future animal sacrifices results in heresy and/or contradiction. Let it be made clear: it is never a heresy to hold to authorial intent or to take God’s Word at face value. […]
Irenaeus Did Not Teach that Jesus Lived into His Fifties Before Being Crucified
May 16, 2013 by 12 Comments
Several ante-Nicene Church Fathers confirm that Revelation was written toward the end of Domitian’s reign. This places the date of Revelation’s composition at approximately 95 or 96 A.D. Irenaeus’ teaching on this represents the earliest extant quote on the matter. Because the partial and full preterists scheme falls apart if Revelation was written after 70 […]
God Makes Abraham a Promise About the Millennium
May 16, 2013 by 2 Comments
The nature of the Abrahamic Covenant is strikingly unconditional as recorded in the ceremony of Genesis 15:9-11, 17-18: He said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.” And he brought him all these, cut them in […]
