Even though Steve Hays is an amillennialist, in this article he does challenge his amill friends not to assume everything in the book of Revelation is symbolic without any corresponding real event. I would be more on the spectrum of specific events than “kinds” of events; nevertheless, it is encouraging to see Hays move in […]

Many interpreters frame the wrong question when they engage the millennial debate. This allowed me to introduce the most fundamental principle of interpreting the Bible, which is to ignore chapter breaks. I […]
Coming Up on Wednesday’s Program: Premillennialism Vs. Amillennialism
AlanKurschner.com/3 Coming up on Wednesday’s The Biblical Prophecy Program™, I will be making two points. What the millennial debate is not about and what it is about. Many interpreters frame the wrong question when they engage the millennial debate. This will introduce us to the most fundamental principle of interpreting the Bible. The answer may […]
What Is the Visionary Mode of the Book of Revelation? Movie Theater and/or Virtual Reality?
There are no published commentaries on the book of Revelation that I can recommend. Commentators either begin with flawed presuppositions about the framework of the book (e.g. amillennial, historical premillennial, pretribulational) or they are not asking the right questions (e.g. atomizing the text). One of these questions that is rarely investigated—and impinges on interpretive conclusions—is […]

Michael Brown Responds to Comments Made by John Piper on Israel
At 41:10 Michael Brown begins to correct theological statements on Israel made by John Piper. Sadly, I see Piper’s historical premillennialism blinds him to the biblical truth that God has promised Israel salvation when Jesus returns. God does not nullify his promises.
You Must Understand This One Point in Order to Grasp the Flow of Matthew 24. . .
Many interpreters miss the most important structural element in Jesus’ Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24–25. After they read “and then the end will come” in verse 14, they assume everything that comes after that beginning in verse 15 are events that occur during the end of the age. This is deeply mistaken. The end is […]

Keith Mathison’s Preterist Hermeneutic and Flawed Presuppositions
I have always believed that hyper-preterism (which is heresy because they deny the future resurrection) is more consistent than partial-preterism, albeit they are consistently wrong. (It goes without saying that I believe futurism is the only feasible, consistent interpretation of Jesus, Paul, and the book of Revelation.) It is not surprising to see a hyper-preterist […]
