The Second Coming Does Not Begin with Armageddon
It is a deep-seated assumption among many pretrib and posttrib interpreters that the Second Coming begins with the battle of Armageddon. For example, they identify Matt 24:30–31 as the same setting as Rev 19:11–21. But this is not correct. Three events associated with the Second Coming will occur before the battle of Armageddon: (1) the […]

[Today, I am starting a four-part article series, The Second Coming Does Not Begin with Armageddon. This is Part 1.] The battle of Armageddon is not the event that begins the second coming (the parousia). It is a deep-seated assumption among many pretrib and posttrib interpreters that Matt 24:30–31 is a parallel passage to […]

At the end of the day, Amillennialism uses allegorical interpretation
[In response to covenant/amillennial theology, Blaising and Bock write:] “Rather than talking about an earthly, carnal kingdom, as the original language of the human prophet suggests, the “unconscious symbol” is the new heavens and new earth as the New Testament indicates by its emphasis on this theme and its exclusion of discussion about the land.

Future National Israel
Blaising and Bock write, For [Bruce] Waltke, the issue centers on the land. But is his criterion for “proof” too narrow, demanding as he does an explicit New Testament affirmation of Israel’s inheritance in the land in order for Old Testament promises to be taken in their historical sense? Is land the central issue Waltke […]
On Misrepresenting Dispensationalism
Craig A. Blaising tells the following story, Recently, one of my students wrote a paper on current issues in dispensationalism. At the beginning he quoted a prominent pastor who identified dispensationalism as that dangerous heresy of date-setting. The student, of course, dismissed this charge as simply uninformed. Dispensationalism is a futurist premillennialism. Its very reception […]
