Farewell, At Least for a While

by Mike Rogers

Dear Reader,

Thank you for your subscription to the AD 70 blog. I’ve enjoyed writing over 160 posts over the past 38 months. Your comments and encouragement have been a blessing to me.

With sadness, I now find it necessary to close the blog, at least temporarily. It has been a self-funded effort that I cannot continue to maintain. I hope to bring the blog back to life at some point, but, for now, this will be my final post.

If the Lord wills, I plan to self-publish a book that shows the rationale for inmillennialism. My goal is to finish it by August 2020.

Please pray for the Lord to glorify himself through us.

Yours in Christ,
Mike

Hey Mike,

Greetings and Happy New Year. I definitely did not expect this email, but I just want to express my thanks for your labor of love and all the work you have put in to study and write. Your ability to communicate is exceptional. May the Lord bless your efforts in putting the book together. I pray that it will get much “air time”.

Blessings,
Doug

Well, this is a milestone! Are you going to focus your time on getting the book written? You probably have multiple responsibilities to juggle? May the Lord bless you in your efforts in getting everything accomplished that you need to get done.

Brother Fred,

Thank you for your email. Yes, I want to focus on the book writing project and, if possible, restart the blog at some point. I’m exploring ways to make that happen. I appreciate your concern and join you in wanting to accomplish all the Lord has for us to do.

I have enjoyed reading your various posts, I hope you can at some point continue the post. Can we still access your past posts outside the blog? I am interested in the ones on millennialism and would like to reread/study them. I would like to purchase your book when it is published. May God Bless you and yours and the study of His Word.

Harold,

Thank you for your email! 

I have not decided how to end the blog. For now, it will stay available until I explore some options regarding how to finance it. (One reader has suggested Patreon.) I will also explore ways to make the material available in other formats. I’ve added your name to the list of persons interested in the blog.

Your work was not in vain! Of all the books, materials, I have studied over the years, your posts have been among the best in clarity and veracity. If I could I would give you a warm “pat on the back” for the work.

I trust you will publish as this message is too important to “put on a shelf.” And, I might add, the amount of time and energy you have already invested needs to be recognized. If I can help with the publication let me know. I suggest you use Kindle Publishing Direct. It is owned by Amazon and it is free to publish. The only work for the author is the formatting for E pub and paperback.

All the best.

What a blessing! Your support over the past months has encouraged me to continue posting. Now, your comments are motivating me to get the manuscript published.

My plan has been to self-publish, probably on Amazon as you suggest. However, in God’s providence, a potential publisher has expressed interest in this project. We plan to discuss the possibilities later this week. 

Thanks for your offer to help. I will keep that in mind!

Dear Brother,

I have enjoyed reading. Look forward to the book so I can digest it a bit better.

God Bless,

Thanks, Mike, your writings have been a blessing. Though you may not have convinced many, you certainly raised some very important points that are difficult for any honest student to skirt. Whether or not you have it all right, most would do well to consider carefully the validity of at least some of your presentations. I also like the way you ended the series with the new temple.

May the Lord bless and watch over you and your family. May He make you increasingly aware of His presence that you may grow to love Him more and more and thereby becoming increasingly like Him.

Brother Mike,

While I’ve not read nearly all the blogs, I can say this particular work God has gifted you has a volume of instruction and information that not only is immense but provides a perspective of explaining the purpose and direction of prophecies as well as encouragement regarding the current work and expectations of the New Testament church that I’m not aware of being provided to this extent from other writers. When you are able to publish the work as a whole I will be interested in having it in my library.

God bless you in all your endeavors and prayers.

David
