Recently I have been reminded of the Reformed community’s aversion to the label of supercessionism, or worse, replacement theology. In the last decade or so particularly I have read repeated disavowals of this term from covenant theologians. Not wanting to misrepresent or smear brethren with whom I disagree, I have to say that I struggle […]

A Reply to Billy Crone’s Defamation Against Christians Who Love Jews and Affirm a Future Israel
“For we are not like many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God.” (2 Cor 2:17) Notice the last statement in the verse above: “we speak in Christ in the sight of God.” Evidently, this statement does not register with […]
Mike Vlach on the Continuity of Dispensationalism
Michael Vlach has written an excellent outline of the continuity of the Old Testament in the New Testament within Dispensational theology. It is worth the read. There is nothing here that I would disagree with him on in this particular article. I would add, however, that Vlach comes from a modified classical view of dispensationalism, […]
The United Nations and their Anti-Israel Actions on Full Display
On November 8, in a direct attack at the heart of Judaism and the Jewish People, the United Nations General Assembly passed two resolutions that mentioned the “Haram al Sharif” but not its Jewish synonym “the Temple Mount” as one of the “holy places of Jerusalem.” This followed an October 26 resolution by the World […]

VIDEO: The ‘Offense’ of the Election of Israel and their Activity during the Millennium with the Gentile Nations
Video: Reggie Kelly on Premillennialism, Nature and Purpose of the Millennium, and Prophecies Concerning the City of Jerusalem
I would take issue with one thing he said at the very end of this video. As many posttribulationists think, he unfortunately fails to recognize the biblical distinction between the Antichrist’s great tribulation and the day of the Lord’s wrath. Other than that I appreciate everything else he said.
VIDEO: The 144,000 Jews in the Book of Revelation Are NOT ‘Jewish Evangelists’
I talked about the pretrib assumption that interprets the 144,000 Jews in Revelation 7 as ‘evangelists.’ They are not. They are sealed by angels to protect them from the impending day of the Lord’s wrath that will soon come upon the world at the opening of the seventh seal. This remnant of Jews will be […]
