Will the Seventieth Week of Daniel Be a Reconstitution of the Mosaic Law? Or Will It Be a Separate, Distinctive Dispensation?
Some traditional dispensationalists (e.g. Chafer, Major Bible Themes, 100) have understood the seventieth week as an extension of the period of the Mosaic Law as a reconstitution of its legal principles; e.g. God ordained Sabbath, sacrifices, etc. It is argued that since the sixty-nine weeks occurred during the dispensation of the Law, then it follows […]

Does the ‘Day of Christ’ and the ‘Day of the Lord’ Refer to the Same Event?
Pretrib interpreters maintain there is a difference in meaning between the terms the day of the Lord and the day of Christ. The term the day of Christ (Phil 1:6, 10; 2:16) has been thought to refer to the rapture and not God’s wrath, while the day of the Lord is believed to refer to […]
