The is the third post in this series, to see the first click here and to see the second click here. What is the Amil interpretation of Ezekiel 40-48, since it clearly implies a future temple? This is a great question since discussions on the temple come up regularly, especially in light of the dispensational expectation of…

Common Questions of Amillenialism. #Ed. 2
The is the second post in this series, to see the first click here. Since I want to keep these posts brief and accessible I have limited how much I will answer on each question. Today I am only answering one question, as only one came up as a result of the last post. Again,…
Common Questions of Amillenialism. #Ed. 1
Amillenialism (Amil’s) has been roughly marginalized in the modern evangelical church. So much of Evangelicalism is influenced by America, which since the First World War has been dominated by Dispensationalism (if these labels mean nothing to you, don’t worry, keep reading, and you will pick it up). There are different groups in Chrisendom who are…
Conversations on Covenantalism: The Introduction
The issue of covenantalism and dispensationalism, may strike you in one of two ways. Either it sounds like a load of Christianese that is better left to the theologians… or you think that it’s just another divisive topic best avoided. Truth be told, it easier to sneak up on a Kryptonian than to get to…
Who is the Antichrist?
Who is the antichrist? Will we know him when he comes? Hollywood seems to have him figured out with movies like “The Omen”. But what does the Bible say about this shrouded figure that people fear so much? To most Christians’ surprise, the word antichrist does not appear in the book of Revelation, from which…
A Christian Response to Harold Camping and the ‘End of the World’
I was hesitant to write this at first since I did not want to give more publicity to this man and his radio show; however the need to present truth, and the Christian response to this individual is vital. Whenever someone like this does something extreme, orthodox Christians everywhere get a bad name, so it…
End Time Pessimism
Does your attitude affect how you live? Most Christians I know seem to have a rather pessimistic attitude, I find it even in myself, possibly this stems from our expectation of the end of the world. But no matter what your view of the end times, we live in a culture which has been so…
Matthew 24:34 – The Olivet Discourse continued (Part 2)
Alas, I approach the text which makes preterists squeal with glee and Pre-mil’s faint with the malady of exegetical psychosis. Or perhaps I am being a tad melodramatic. I am referring to the ‘this generation’ of Matthew 24v34. I now endeavour to interpret this statement: “Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away…
Matthew 24:1-3 – Olivet Discourse continued… (Part 1)
Mathew 24’s first two verses begin by describing a comment Jesus made about the incredible stones with which the temple was made, this comment then triggered the rest of the discourse. The disciples probably thought that Christ would be impressed, as they were, by the beautiful stones, but instead He goes on to predict that…
The Olivet Discourse – Matthew 24
It has been on my mind for awhile to deal with the whole issue of eschatology, and to be honest, as I approached the issue, I began to realize how little I understand. The more I read various views (which initially seemed rather convincing) the more I began to realize that none really answers all…
