Months in the Bible are almost always referred to by their ordinal numbers: the first month, the second month, and so on. A notable exception to that rule is the eighth month, which is also called Bul in 1 Kings 6:38. Bul (בּוּל) derives from the same root as mabbul (מַבּוּל), the name for Noah’s […]

Millennial Views Following the Ante-Nicene Church: Origen and Allegory – Part 1
October 6, 2016 by 2 Comments
The death of Lactantius in A.D. 325 marked the end of Premillennialism as a commonly held belief in the church until after the Reformation of the 16th century.

Present Age, Millennium or Eternal State? New Testament – Part 4
August 23, 2016 by 2 Comments
The majority of New Testament passages pertaining to the Millennium are those that teach on the kingdom, when Jesus returns to reign from His throne (Matt. 25:31-34).

July 21, 2016 by Leave a Comment
ISAIAH Isaiah contains far more millennial passages than any other book in Scripture, including some of the most descriptive and comprehensive. Following the classic depiction of the Millennium in Isaiah 11:6-9, is the instructive 11:10-12: In that day the root of Jesse, who shall stand as a signal for the peoples—of him shall the nations inquire, and his […]
Present Age, Millennium or Eternal State? Torah and Psalms – Part 1
July 1, 2016 by 1 Comment
Passages on the Millennium are found regularly throughout Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation. Many fail to recognize this because a given writer did not explicitly mention a thousand year reign of the Messiah.

The Ante-Nicene Church Father Irenaeus taught extensively on Chiliasm (the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus upon the Earth beginning after His Second Coming) in his fifth book of Against Heresies. In chapter thirty-three, Irenaeus provides further proofs that mandate a Chiliastic or Premillennial realization of the Kingdom. This includes the blessing made from Isaac to Jacob: […]
The Jews Were Supposed to Return to the Land in Disobedience
March 27, 2014 by 5 Comments
Those who question or deny that the return of the Jews to the Promised Land beginning in 1948 was a fulfillment of prophecy often appeal to the people’s continued rejection of God. After all, the returns from the Babylonian captivity under Zerubbabel, Ezra and Nehemiah were done out of national obedience to God. And there […]
