God has worked with Israel and the church at the same time in the past, he does in the present, and he will in the future. Here is a bit on the past. In the Past God worked with Israel during the church age in AD 70. Before the death of Jesus during the Old […]

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, […]
Why is Doug Stauffer Participating in His Self-Described Condemnation of an Upcoming Rapture Debate?
I have recently challenged Doug Stauffer to a debate to defend his pretribulationism.

But these internal discussion are worth airing out because they may […]
A Summary of Three Millennial Perspectives: Classical Dispensationalism, Historical Premillennialism, and Amillennialism
The Millennial Maze, pp. 139-41 (To be sure, the author of this “comparison” book is Amill and his bias comes out in various places; nevertheless, Grenz does have a keen, nuanced eye when describing the dynamic between millennial positions.) Historic premillennialists have attempted to carve out a distinctive position between dispensationalism on the one side, […]
