Prophecy

Jesus, after His resurrection, demonstrated good Bible study. “And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself” (Luke 24:27). Peter imitated his Master by saying, “Yes, and all the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as…

Peter made a bold assertion: “All the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these days” (Acts 3:24). By “these days,” he means the days in which he lived, his generation.  The Lord Jesus showed the two disciples on the road to…

Peter made a bold assertion: “All the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these days” (Acts 3:24). By “these days,” he means the days in which he lived, his generation.  This series of posts tests this claim by searching through the…

If we want our preaching to be primitive—like the original preaching of Jesus and the apostles—we must preach about prophecy and how it relates to events in Jesus’ generation. I’m emphasizing this point through Peter’s claim: “All the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken,…

  We’re used to Peter speaking before he thinks. “Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!” (Matt 16:22), he said, earning a stern rebuke from the Lord. Of course, that was before his encounter with the Lord after His resurrection. When we hear him preaching…

Brother John Formsma recently posted the following article on Twitter. He has given me permission to do minor editing and reprint it here. The views John presents fit well into inmillennialism. In addition, they agree with some scholars of the highest order. For example, see John Lightfoot on the “New Heavens…

A person who has read my book, Inmillennialism: Redefining the Last Days, made the following request: This may be a big ask, but I was hoping that you could give me a fairly comprehensive list of prophetic passages that deal with the end of the Messianic Age. I’m having trouble…

The two-age model of inmillennialism lies under the surface and sometimes rises into sight. A major prophetic event would occur soon—the destruction of the temple that Jesus predicted in the Olivet Discourse (Matt 24:1). That destruction would end the Mosaic age and allow the messianic age to continue. This change of age would bring…

I will be teaching a Continuing Education course at Southern Union State Community College this spring regarding options for interpreting Biblical prophecy. The official title of the upcoming posting (here) will be “NREL 4000 NC Intro Bible Interpretation.” The course will cover most of the material in my book, Inmillennialism:…

The Scriptures teach a simple prophetic framework that encourages us to fulfill the Great Commission: to make disciples of all nations in this age. We’re making incremental progress toward the goal of discovering that framework. Our starting point is the Olivet Discourse, where a simple, understandable conversation occurs. Jesus says…
