Posts contributing to the development of the biblically framed Inmillenialism Prophetic Model for the interpretation of prophecy.
Our initial blog posts have generated some interesting and provocative questions. We take this opportunity to address a few of them. We plan to answer future questions on an as-needed basis. Please submit your questions in the comment section at the end of each blog post. Why focus on AD…
Our previous post asserted the Olivet Discourse has a single topic—Jesus’ prophecy of the Temple’s destruction. We showed how the disciples correctly associated that event with the end of the Mosaic age. Here we wish to show how the other part of the disciples’ sign question—“what shall be the sign of…

The outline below will guide you through the process. When you finish, you will have classified yourself as either an amillennialist, a postmillennialist, a historic premillennialist, or a…
I think all Christians should desire an increase in government’s size and arena of control. More government in health care, more in education, more in environmental issues, more in our personal lives . . . more, more, more! We should not only desire governmental expansion, but we should also do…
The parodic Babylon Bee recently published an article about the 2016 US presidential election. By 11 PM on election day, according to this “report,” voting results compelled CNN reporter Wolf Blitzer to call the election, which was never in serious doubt, for Jesus Christ. The results ensured Jesus would continue his…
“And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.” (Luke 4:43) Let us follow the steps of Christ and his apostles in this matter. The soon-coming of the kingdom was the message first announced by John the Baptist. His message—one…
