Job’s hope is secure in inmillennialism. He said, “I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth” (Job 19:25, NKJV). Our prophetic model says Job’s redeemer—Jesus Christ—stood on the earth in the “last days” (Heb 1:2) of the Mosaic age. Job also said, “And though…

A brother responded to the ideas in last week’s post (here). He said, “I disagree with your reading/understanding of this simple text. I believe the text supports the traditional view of it being a visible, physical, and bodily return of our Lord.” He referred me to Dr. Keith A. Mathison’s…

Jesus and his disciples visited the buildings of the Temple on Tuesday of Passion Week. The disciples expressed great admiration for their beauty, but Jesus was unimpressed. He knew the objects of their admiration were short-lived; they would soon become rubble. When he informed the disciples of this, they asked…
