I want to use this short post to make two announcements. First, on Tuesday of this week (i.e., August 18, 2020) McGahan Publishing House announced that my book is available for purchase. It is available on Amazon (here), Barnes&Noble (here), and Books-A-Million (here).
A minister and a former seminary professor have promised to write reviews of the book soon. Their evaluations may make for an excellent series of blog posts!
Second, if the Lord wills, I plan to begin next week writing a series of posts on Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians. These are his earliest extant writings1 and contain some important prophetic passages that deal with the rapture, the day of the Lord, etc. One of my primary objectives will be to show that inmillennialism explains those passages in a straightforward manner; it also provides insights into the Apostle’s statements that other models leave unexplained.
I rejoice in God’s blessings regarding the book and pray that he will use it to advance his kingdom and glorify our Lord Jesus Christ.

Mike,
I have had your blog post saved in my favorites for several years and have found your teachings and explanations of Inmillenialism to be a great reference to my Christian journey and an encouragement. I constantly referenced your sight to establish my message when times present an opportunity. Especially when it comes to interpreting eschatological topics, it has helped to give me some very useful tools when trying to explain, and dare I say, confront well intentioned, God fearing pastors that tend to use the recent incarnation of the “Rapture” as an escape clause when it comes to preparing for the future. In the local churches in my area, they teach it as there is no other way to possibly interpret the scriptures other than how they teach it. And when I bring up the question of, is it possible you may be interpreting these passages incorrectly, I can perceive that they don’t really want to think that possibly they could be wrong, and there are no ears to hear, only a mouth to speak.
When I read of your temporary/permanent retirement of the blog, I was a sad, but I realize God plots the master course for our lives and changes come. I kept visiting the site and am encouraged to see your book is released and I will be purchasing it to add to my collection. Please know, I appreciate your God given insights, and look forward to meeting you in His kingdom in eternity.
Your Brother in Christ,
