"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." (Matt 24:14, KJV) That was certainly fulfilled when the Apostle Paul was living: "First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken...

"Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him." (Matt 2:2, KJV) Scofield - "The King" is one of the divine titles Psalms 10:16 and so used in the worship of the Church 1 Timothy 1:17 but Christ is never called "King of...

"The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:" (Rev 1:1, KJV) The word "signified" is "G4591 σημαίνω semaino (see-mai'-nō) v." and Strong's says it...

John Gill (1697-1771), Baptist Historic Premil does not take Ezekiel 40-48 literally, nor does he insert a 2500+ year gap between the 69th and 70th week in Daniel. Inserting a non-existent gap is a corruption of God's word and is only done to fit a man-made scheme of prophecy. In the...

Adam Clarke, (1762-1832) Methodist Commentary. This being the 3rd representative of Baptists, Presbyterians and Methodists from the past. All three men of God were post-millennial. "Both these parables are prophetic, and were intended to show, principally, how, from very small beginnings...

Robert L. Dabney, (1820-1898) Southern Presbyterian Pastor and Theologian on the pre-mil https://www.grace-ebooks.com/library/Robert%20Dabney/RLD_Systematic%20Theology.pdf Its advocates boast that they alone interpret the symbols of prophecy faithfully. But when we examine, we find that they...

James P. Boyce, (1827-1888), founder of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary - Rev. 20 Boyce was post-mil http://www.reformedreader.org/rbb/boyce/aos/chapter40.htm (1.) We must be careful how we receive any interpretation which does not accord with the rest of Scripture. Before doing so, we...

"Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out." (John 12:27, 31, KJV) "But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom...

I actually cannot figure out what you think. I've found your writings rather confusing. As to the early church beliefs, I still must stick to the Scriptures. Pre-trib, mid-trib or post-trib mean nothing to me because I find Matt. 24, Mark 13 & Luke 21 are describing the tribulation leading up...

Spending the first 30 years of my life in dispensationalism I can tell you that what I quoted in the clear statements is denied by dispensationalists. Dispensationalists are waiting for Jesus to be king on the throne and reigning in some future 1000 year kingdom in Israel and deny that Christ...

You apparently did not read the link I gave explaining the difference between dispensationalism and historic pre-millennialism, it reads: Historic premillennialism and dispensational premillennialism are two different systems of eschatology. Here are a few examples of the differences between...

Thanks for your response, Clayman. So often where we end up depends upon the presuppositions at the start. I approach this topic differently. First, I do not believe any book of the NT was written after 70 AD and the destruction of the temple. It is impossible for me to believe that no NT...

I am distinguishing historic premillennialism from dispensationalism which appeared in the latter 19th century. The wikipedia article is inacccurate. The better description is: https://www.gotquestions.org/historic-premillennialism.html

I'll keep waiting until someone wishes to discuss the Scriptures I base my belief on. I suspect the only ones capable of having a true biblical discussion are the brethren who are amil or historic pre-mil or other variations of post-mil. If I have "cobbled together" unrelated Scriptures, let's...

If you can't answer from the Holy Scriptures and give a solid exposition of the passage, maybe you can quote from the man-made footnotes in a dispensationalist study Bible. Of all the OT prophecies, can you name one that is quoted in the NT that refers to Israel in Palestine in our day or the...

Hi chess-player, that is an interesting question. What have I written that prompts you to ask me that? I am not SDA. I do not really claim a denominational tag any more. I will say that the First London Confession of Faith revised in 1646 with Appendix best expresses my understanding of the...

I find the "silliness" to be making claims you cannot back up with any facts or proof. Now to your question: the UN created a 2-State solution, Israel accepted it and the Palestinians rejected it. That is reality. The Israelies are Christ rejectors and the Muslims are Christ rejectors. It...

I see you put that reply in quotes. Who said that? It was not me, nor do I think that. Do you ever try to reply with substance to anything, or just call names and label people, or attribute to them what they did not say. I believe that borders on lying. Try doing what you claim, prove that...

Yes, oh yes, I'm a big fat racist too! LOL "I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." (Rev 2:9, KJV) "Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say...

How do you know those people calling themselves "the Jewish people" today have any true connection to those Judeans in the Bible? Their religion does not match that of the Old Covenant. Their culture today does not match that of biblical times. The DNA evidence is very shaky. I know my...
