Posts contributing to the development of the biblically framed Inmillenialism Prophetic Model for the interpretation of prophecy.
We Christians would do well to remember an important aspect of the gospel. In the New Testament, the kingdom of heaven was at the core of the “good news.” As we have seen, John the Baptist preached this message. He proclaimed, “Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at…
“Matthew . . . is the Gospel of the King and His kingdom.” We have seen this in our previous posts on Matthew. For example, the “little horn” king (Herod) opposed the King (Matt 2). And, John the Baptist preached the gospel of the kingdom (Matt 3:1). In Matthew 4,…
Preaching the kingdom of heaven was central to the early church’s ministry. This was true from the start of the gospel. God chose John the Baptist to prepare the way for Christ. His first and primary message was about the kingdom. He said, “Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at…
We are applying our proposed prophetic model—inmillennialism—to the gospel of Matthew. The second chapter of that book shows the fulfillment of four prophecies. All were “last days” prophecies. And, Herod played a major role in their fulfillment. These facts led us to look for Herod in Old Testament prophecies. Our…
Two facts from our last “Meditation in Matthew” (here) combine to suggest our present topic. First, God fulfilled the four prophecies in Matthew 2:1–23 in the “last days” of the Mosaic Age. Second, Herod played a key role in each of them. Few commentators see Herod as a major figure…
Announcement A 17-page summary of our prophetic framework is now available. It shows how inmillennialism arises out of a natural reading of two New Testament passages. Please click the “Free” menu item above to download the PDF. The concept of the “last days” plays a unique role in inmillennialism. (We…
We developed a prophetic framework —inmillennialism—in previous posts. It affects how we understand many passages of Scripture. We saw this when we applied it to Hebrews and Revelation. That exercise showed inmillennialism’s accuracy. We are now ready to begin a new phase of our blog. Future posts will offer meditations…
A friend asked me to develop a 15-page summary of inmillennialism, my framework for the interpretation of biblical prophecy. This post is the fourth and final part of that summary. I plan to soon post a downloadable PDF of the entire document. We started building our model of prophecy in…
A friend asked me to develop a 15-page summary of inmillennialism, my framework for the interpretation of biblical prophecy. This post is the third part of that summary. The next two posts will provide the rest. I plan to then post a downloadable PDF of the entire document. We started…
A friend asked me to develop a 15-page summary of inmillennialism, my framework for the interpretation of biblical prophecy. This post is the second part of that summary. The next two or three posts will provide the rest. I plan to then post a downloadable PDF of the entire document.…
