We know that Spurgeon was an Historic Premillennialist and not a pretribulationist. He also spoke of signs associated with Christ's Second Advent. Spurgeon can be difficult to understand because he was also an historicist and held to Covenant Theology. These things affected his eschatology, though he didn't delve into it in any real detail. For more on this, check out Michael Svigel's Go Deeper Excurses. We do know that Spurgeon valued the attitude of imminence. You can search this blog for more. But, not only did he prize it, he also believed that Christ could come at any moment. This can be ..read more

Dr. Paul Henebury (aka Dr. Reluctant) has a new blog HERE. You'll notice on the right side of my blog that there are currently two versions. The older version will eventually drop away once the feeds stop. I won't remove it unless it ceases to exist..  But the other important news is that Paul's new book "The Words of the Covenant" Volume 2 (New Testament Commentary) is now available. Read about it HERE.  Check out Rev Reads' review ..read more

I want to highlight Michael Svigel's work on the eschatology of the early church fathers. You can find my post on that topic at Zeteo 3:16 HERE. Aside from his book, Dr. Svigel is offering valuable "Deeper Excurses" data free on his website, Fathers on the Future.  One caveat when looking at this material is to understand that the early church fathers embraced forms of Replacement Theology soon after the Apostle John died. So, while some were premillennial, the blurring of Israel and the church affected their eschatology. For more on this, see Larry Pettegrew's "Forsaking Israel," as disc ..read more

Worth a watch... ...Carl Teichrib continues with the study through his book, The Temple of Man in the Age of Re-Enchantment and is playing The Game of Gods. In the section “Worshiping Man, in chapter four, Carl points out: “For all the talk of rationalism and naturalism and the end of Christianity, Modernity revealed the inescapability of religion. Reject the transcendent God who created the universe, and humanity worships itself. We fashion a ‘God substitute’ formed in the image of what we think is best.” The Apostle Paul points this out in Romans chapter one as well ..read more

Below is a great YouTube discussion on Genesis with Cornelis Van Dam. I highly recommend his book, "In the Beginning: Listening to Genesis 1 and 2."  As an aside, Van Dam has also written, "The Urim and Thummim: A Means of Revelation in Ancient Israel." See this Amazon Link. I learned of it via Douglas Bookman's chapter (excerpt), "The Urim and Thummim: The Theocracy in Microcosm," in "to seek to do & to teach", essays in honor of Larry Pettegrew.  ..read more

This is a repost from 2014. It's not intended as a personal attack on Goodgame. But given the level of anti-Israel sentiment we've seen since "Oct 7", perhaps his thinking can serve as one example of why this is occurring. Sadly, if you visit his X (Twitter) account, you'll note where he's at now.  I mentioned in a prior post that Peter Goodgame has adopted the New Exodus concept. This involves revising the relationship between Israel and the church. He suggested I take the time to understand where his analysis of the transition between the Old Covenant and New Covenant (NC) is leading hi ..read more
