Messianic age

This post continues our answer to a reader’s objection to our Miraculous Gifts post. There we dealt with 1 Cor 13:8–10 and said “that which is perfect” (1 Cor 13:10) refers to the messianic age.  If our identification of the “perfect” is correct, Paul was showing the Corinthians when God…

A gracious reader has raised questions about our Miraculous Gifts post. These queries arise from our view of “that which is perfect” in 1 Cor 13:10–12. There, Paul says: When that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a…

In Matthew 27 we have reached the zenith of prophetic revelation. Here, Jesus offers “one sacrifice for sins forever” (Heb 10:12a NKJV) in the “last days” (Heb 1:2) of the Mosaic age. After his resurrection in Matthew 28, Jesus “sat down at the right hand of God, from that time…

The AD 70 blog has come full circle. We published our first post on Nov. 3, 2016. Our fourth post appeared on the last Wednesday of that month. Since then, the Lord has blessed us to post each Wednesday for 129 consecutive weeks. We have covered much ground. Our first…

Jesus asked his disciples an important question. “Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?” (Matt 16:13). Peter responded correctly: “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God!” (Matt 16:16 HCSB). Jesus then gave Peter a great revelation: Thou art Peter, and upon this rock…

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 reader noticed our last post omitted elements of the new heavens and earth. They also contain no tears, sorrow, crying, or pain (Rev. 21:4). He wanted to know how our prophetic framework, inmillennialism, explains these features. The “new heavens and earth” do not describe eternity per se. Death, child-bearing,…

This post will appear during Passion Week, 2018. Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Sunday and gave the Olivet Discourse on Tuesday. He died on the cross on Friday and rose from the dead on Sunday. His resurrection established the “new heavens and earth” (Rev. 21:1) of Revelation’s seventh vision. We…

Our last post showed the “new heaven and new earth” (Rev. 21:1) do not represent the eternal state. Saints do not go there only when they die. Rather, the “new heaven and new earth” is the environment in which God’s saints live during the Messianic Age. We will give our…

Our title comes from the opening words to Revelation’s sixth vision: “And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore” (Rev. 17:1; emphasis added). But, this…
