Spurgeon was a historical premillennialist, not a futurist premillennialist. I came across the following statement of his which would indicate he was supersessionistic: “And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of […]
Replacement Theology
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 […]

Are the 144,000 Israelites ‘Saved’ in Revelation 7?
I view the 144,000 Israelites in Rev 7:4–8 as sealed in the sense of God choosing them to be saved when the end of the seven-year period is completed, fulfilling Daniel’s 70 week prophecy of the nation of Israel when they recognize Jesus as Messiah. They are also sealed in the sense of protection from the impending […]
The Background to the Sealing of the 144,000: Ezekiel 9 and Exodus 12
The 144,000 faithful Israelites in Revelation 7:1–8 are protected on earth with a seal of God from the impending wrath that will be poured out on the world through the trumpet and bowl judgments when the seventh seal is opened. The likely thematic background for this sealing from impending divine wrath is found in Ezekiel […]
