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…

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…

Almost a year ago, a brother in Ethiopia, Jed, contacted me with questions about some of my blog posts. His emails reminded me of another Ethiopian brother who asked Philip a question about a prophetic Scripture. Here is Luke’s account of it: Now an angel of the Lord spoke to…

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…

A few weeks ago, I heard a sermon that surprised and delighted me. The minister approached his subject with care to not offend his hearers. He spoke of how we often preach about salvation by grace, election, perseverance, and other teachings in the Scriptures. As he progressed, one knew he…

I’m attempting to show how a simple model of biblical prophecy arises out of Jesus’ Olivet Discourse. So far, I’ve taken the following steps: (1) Showed how our understanding of prophecy affects how we understand the Lord’s Great Commission and His Model Prayer; (2) explained why we should begin discovering…
