12/31/3: Melito of Sardis - Peri Pascha and Its "Israel" "The battle between Christians and Jews over possession of the name "Israel" goes back to the earliest days of Christianity" "Alternatively, the past-tense verbs found in Peri Pascha 99 may indicate that the author is referring to the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE" "Analogously, in the late fourth century Chrysostom, in his apologetic works on Christianity and Hellenism, again uses the Temple's destruction as proof of Judaism's illegitimacy."
12/31/3: The Temples that Jerusalem Forgot "He proposes that the now existing Temple walls are not the original walls that were part of the 2nd Temple that fell in 70 A.D. It is the wall of an aborted attempt to rebuild the Temple under Roman Emperor Constantine from A.D. 313-324 and later under Julian in 362. In other words, the location for the rebuilding of the Temple is on a different location nearby but not where the Dome and Mosque are situated." | Solomon's Temple Secrets

Sit down for this, reverend, as I tell you that I (and all Muslims) await the second coming of Jesus Christ to destroy the anti-Christ! "
12/30/3: Anti-rapture, Anti-Illuminati Archive | German on Zakkai | Jewish War Coins on Ebay | Naomi: Last Days of Jerusalem on Ebay "While contemplating the present fallen condition of the Jews and the desolate state of the land of Judea, we naturally recall their former splendour and unexampled prosperity, and the fearful rebellion against the laws of their long-suffering God and King which at length provoked Him to bring them down from their high estate and lay them grovelling in the dust. Believing that such considerations may be both interesting and useful to her young readers, the author has ventured (with a full sense of her own incompetence to do justice to the subject) to attempt a narrative of which the scene is chiefly laid in Jerusalem, and the period it embraces is one of the most eventful and calamitous that it has ever been detailed in history."

12/24/3: Israel claims Egyptian drones over Dimona Nuclear Plant | Israel's WMD - "It is an open secret that Israel is a nuclear power. Such technology as was not actually given to Israel — initially by the French and then by the Americans — was stolen from the US by Mossad spies. The highly secure nuclear center at Dimona has been the location of an Israeli nuclear program since 1958. The only firm evidence that the outside world has ever had came from an Israeli scientist, Mordechai Vanunu, who gave extensive details to a British newspaper in 1986. Kidnapped in Rome by Mossad agents, Vanunu was jailed for 18 years. "

12/24/3: Failed Messiahs: Sabbetai Zevi - "As 1666 approached, the year Christians predicted the Second Coming of Christ, Zevi proclaimed that he would become the king of kings. He said that he would sail to Constantinople and upon arriving in Turkey, the sultan would give up his throne to him, the Messiah. It didn't go exactly as Zevi had planned. When he arrived in Turkey he was arrested and thrown into a fortress. Even from his fortress, however, he continued to make proclamations to the Jews and his followers. The Turkish sultan eventually came to Sabbetai Zevi and gave him an ultimatum. He said that under the threat of suffering death, Zevi had to either prove his claims by performing a miracle or convert to the religion of Islam. Under such a threat, Zevi abandoned his proclamations and claimed his allegiance to Allah."

12/23/3: Why Full Preterism Leads to Heresy - "Now actually, their view of sin fits better with pantheism, where good and evil are eternally intermingled. But obviously they prefer not to go this direction. It appears to be too "evil" for them, so they simply have decided that the nature of Christianity thoroughly changed in 70 A.D., so that God allows everyone into heaven regardless of what they believe or what they have done in this life. (When I say "they", I refer, of course, to those who have apostatized into Universalism from full preterism.)"

12/22/3: Between Nippon and Zion - "The Fall of Jerusalem to the Roman army in 70AD, and the destruction of the Second Temple, had a devastating effect on the early Christians (see S.G.F. Brandon, The Fall of Jerusalem and the Christian Church). It enabled the "Hellenistic" faction, associated with Paul and Rome, to triumph over the "Jewish" faction, associated with James and Jerusalem (Robert Eisenmann, The Dead Sea Scrolls and the First Christians and James the Brother of Jesus). It facilitated the momentous shift of religious centre from Jerusalem to Rome. Prior to the destruction, Christians worshipped in the Temple, and both Jewish and Gentile Christians venerated it as their chief shrine. Now, with Rome in disarray, a rebuilt Third Temple could similarly become the chief shrine, not only for Jews but for Christians too. The emotion generated by this historic shift would probably be a catalyst for a cultural shift, in the Western world as a whole, away from the current Hellenism (now called New Age) and back to Hebraism."

12/21/3: The Original 9/11 - "Ground zero" is the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, where the two Temples stood before being sacked by the Babylonians and the Romans, centuries apart.  Jerusalem's skyline has never been the same since that fateful day, over 1900 years ago, when the emperor Vespasian's troops, led by his son Titus, set the Temple alight, mercilessly pillaging and ransacking the place where the Holy of Holies had stood.

12/21/3: The Last Days of Judah's Commonwealth - John Thomas "Our conclusion then, concerning Peter, as constituted of the Apostleship of the Jews, is, that holy spirit in him had specially to do in the matter of judgment with those calamities which were then soon to be poured out upon the ruling power of the then existing kosmos."
12/21/3: A witness from the Past - Uri Avnery - "His book "The Jewish War" is the most important report on the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Jewish Temple - a traumatic event, that has left a deep imprint on Jewish consciousness to this very day. Every year, on the ninth day of the month Av, Jews are bound to mourn the destruction of the Temple and Israeli law forbids opening places of amusement. The claim for Israeli sovereignty over the Temple Mount is even now a major obstacle to Israeli-Palestinian peace."
12/21/3: Jewish Wars Archive - "They (the defenders of Jerusalem) fought against each other, and their actions delighted the besiegers. Indeed, the evil that the Romans brought upon the city, was not worse than the evil the defenders brought on each other. After that, the fall of the city could not add to the disaster. The calamities that befell the city before its fall were so terrible, that one may say that the quarrel conquered the city, and the Romans conquered the quarrel, which was stronger than its besieged walls."

12/18/3: FREE ONLINE BOOKS: Robert Roberts - The Ways of Providence.. The Overthrow of the Jewish Commonwealth by the Romans and the Destruction of Jerusalem by Titus (1881) "The survey of the ways of providence would be incomplete without something more than a glance at the events attending the overthrow of Jerusalem and disruption of the Jewish polity over thirty-five years after Christ left the earth. At first sight, it might seem as if this were outside the scope of the work which aims at the illustration of the subject from Biblical narrative alone. On a further consideration, however, the matter must appear otherwise. Although we have no scriptural narrative of the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus, yet we have much scriptural forecast of that terrible event, and therefore the particulars of the event are the particulars of a divine work. "
12/18/3: The Markan Apocalypse - Anthony Buzzard "Jesus, in the discourses which are attributed to him, announces that he will come back immediately after Jerusalem has been defiled. If the words which are placed in his mouth have any sense, they have this sense; and if they do not have it, it is because for theologians black means white and white means black. But for everyone who is not a sophist this dilemma poses itself categorically/3: either Jesus is mistaken or these discourses are not from him. The Christian church cannot without disloyalty escape this dilemma." (T. Colani, Croyances Messianiques, 252.)  "The challenge is clear/3: Jesus is reported as predicting the end of the age in connection with the fall of Jerusalem. Moreover his use of apocalyptic material places him within traditional Jewish apocalypticism. We must as believers work with these facts. We simply dare not dismiss the material as unworthy of Jesus."
12/18/3: Theology Adrift: The Early Church Fathers and Their Views of Eschatology - "In 1962, philosopher-scientist Thomas Kuhn coined the term "paradigm shift" to signal a massive change in the way a community thinks about a particular topic..  With the first destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 and the expulsion of Jews from Jerusalem as a result of the second Jewish revolt in AD 132-135, the early Christians began to see these defeats as evidence of not only God's displeasure on Judaism, but also God's vindication of Christianity. The early Christians thus abandoned any hope for the restoration of the nation of Israel.. "
12/18/3: Arion: A Journal of Humanities and Classics "The New Age movement began to form in the late seventies, gained visibility in the eighties, and became an international commercial success in the nineties..  New Age is a marvel of Alexandrian syncretism..

An analogy might be the introspective period just before and after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, when the Roman empire seemed insuperable."

12/17/3: The Abomination of Desolation - Gary Gibbs "As a result of not responding to God's call to turn from their abominations, their temple was to be desolated. This prophecy was fulfilled in 70 A.D. when the Roman armies of Titus burned the temple to the ground. This second desolation of the temple perfectly paralleled its first destruction. On both occasions the abominations were done by the apostate people of God and the desolation was an act of judgment performed by a heathen army."

12/16/3: The Promise of a New Heavens and New Earth - When? - Michael Krall "claiming a double fulfillment does not solve this problem as to who this is that preceded the coming in of the new heavens and new earth.

12/16/3: The Coming of the Lord - Robert Brow "The coming that the New Testament writers referred to occurred in AD 70 when the temple was destroyed, Jerusalem was devastated, and the religious establishment of the city was decimated.

12/12/3: Frederick Engels - On the Early History of Christianity (1894) "But we have in the New Testament a single book the time of the writing of which can be defined within a few months, which must have been written between June 67 and January or April 68; a book, consequently, which belongs to the very beginning of the Christian era and reflects with the most naive fidelity and in the corresponding idiomatic language the ideas of the beginning of that era. This book is the so-called Revelation of John.. John describes his book at the very beginning as the revelation of "things which must shortly come to pass ; an immediately afterwards, I, 3, he declares "Blessed is he that readeth and they that hear the words of this prophecy ... for the time is at hand." To the church in Philadelphia Christ sends the message: "Behold, I come quickly." And in the last chapter the angel says he has shown John "things which must shortly be done" and gives him the order: "Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand." And Christ himself says twice (XXII, 12, 20) "I come quickly." The sequel will show us how soon this coming was expected.."

Baxter NEVER deals with verse 24 of Daniel 9 in either his Faithchild article or in his video series “Refuting Preterism.” Maybe the reason why he can’t talk about this is because (1) if he shows these six points are now fulfilled he thereby nullifies the reason for a gap between the 69th and 70th week, or (2) if he says that Jesus did not complete that which He came to do, all of which are found in these six points, then his Endtime ministry, like the critics of Christianity, would be saying that Jesus is a “failed messiah.”

The reference was to Paul's statement in 1 Thessalonians about the return of Jesus. "According to Paul, the Second Coming seemed to be just around the corner (1 Thessalonians 4:17), even though we today know that it has still not come even in our day," he wrote in the revised note. "His word was, however, perfectly appropriate, given the fact that Paul thought that the coming could come at any time."
12/5/3: Bob Dylan's Unshakable Monotheism - Jewsweek "Another report had Dylan's forthcoming tour proceeds going to assist Israel, accompanied by charges that he was a "Zionist." "Just gossip" is how Dylan characterized the murmuring and wondered about the label itself, "I'm not sure what a Zionist really is." Dylan remembered. "Most of the people I know don't believe that Jesus was resurrected, that He is alive. It's like He was just another prophet or something, one of many good people. That's not the way it was any longer for me."After hearing the news that Dylan had been baptized, and was studying and praying with a community of believers in 1979, Martin Grossman has noted how some of Dylan's Jewish fans regarded it "as the most shocking act of apostasy since Shabtai Zvi, a messianic pretender of medieval times who converted to Islam and left millions of followers in despair." According to author and journalist Larry Yudelson, one Washington area rabbi "painfully excommunicated Dylan from his record collection when the singer converted." ..But now that man, my idol, who was born a Jew named Robert Zimmerman, is walking onto rock and roll stages and proclaiming, 'Christ will return to set up his kingdom in Jerusalem. There really is a slow train coming and it is picking up speed. Satan has been defeated by the cross!'

12/3/3: Destruction of Jerusalem Books - "I can only comment on 'Before Jerusalem Fell' by Kenneth Gentry. I found his arguments quite compelling for a pre-70 dating of the book of Revelation.

12/3/3: Was the Jewish "World" Destroyed in AD70? - "The idea that the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in AD70 could be the prophesied end of the world, does not stand up to examination. The Jewish "world" is based in its blood, its scriptures, and its synagogue. None of these was destroyed or abolished in AD70. To make prophecies in the Bible about the second coming of Christ, and the end of the world, refer to events of AD70 misrepresents these prophecies, because nothing was destroyed that had not been destroyed in times past, and nothing was destroyed that was essential to the Jewish world's continuance into the future."
12/3/3: Pristine Faith Restoration: Preterism "A very destructive system of interpreting prophecy. Preterism is much more than merely just another eschatology.

11/29/3: Anti-Zionism is Anti-Semitism | Internet Outflanks Zionists "In New York, Hassidic Jews openly equate Zionism with Nazism, and consider the state of Israel to be a blasphemy. Are these people anti-Semitic?"
11/29/3: The Last Days? Local Clergy Doubt - "Many other things were foretold to occur during the last days, and all of these also are being fulfilled," the Witnesses' official Web site states. "This means the end of the world is near. But, happily, there will be survivors. After saying, 'The world is passing away,' the Bible promises: 'He that does the will of God remains forever.' " (1 John 2:17)."

11/28/3: The Power of Life and Death in a Greek Four-Letter Word - Gary Amirault "The President of the Second Ecumenical Council of Constantinople in 381, St. Gregory of Nazianzus was an outspoken Universalist, that is, he believed in the Salvation Of All Mankind Through Jesus Christ. Would the church designate a heretic as its head at such an important meeting? " - Added to Aion Study Archive
11/28/3: The Greek Word 'Aion' Translated Everlasting - "readers of the Bible are under the most imperative obligations to understand the word in all cases as denoting limited duration, unless the subject treated, or other qualifying words compel them to understand it differently. There is nothing in the Derivation, Lexicography or Usage of the word to warrant us in understanding it to convey the thought of endless duration." - Added to Aion Study Archive
11/28/3: World Survival is at Stake - George H. Russell "When mindless followers honestly believe that God wants the mass destruction of the earth to take place, then it is no wonder that they actively promote the Rapture or second coming of Jesus by promoting war, chaos, destruction and invasions of other nations, in an effort to speed the process up, and help God fulfill the Bible's prophesy and God's alleged promise."
11/28/3: Gibsons "Passion" in danger of becoming Gospel-Lite - "Abraham Foxman, national director of the Jewish Ant-Defamation League, is quoted by Religion News Service saying, “We respect his (Gibson’s) creative rights, but we also believe that creative rights come with responsibilities.”  It would appear that respect extends only if Gibson doesn’t offend Foxman’s concept of Christian “responsibility.” However, Foxman and other Jewish critics show little respect for Gibson’s right – and responsibility – to faithfully portray Holy Scripture. "
11/28/3: Hatred of Jews Threatening Rule of Law - "Former CIA director James Woolsey is taking on Europe's media and cultural elite, saying they've drawn ''the first breath of totalitarianism'' due to their growing resentment of Jews."

11/27/3: MS Cheo - "They who pierced Him" and the Horrible Death of Jesus "This association comes to me as my belief in preterism increases.  I hope the above analysis will bring forth further harmony of the Bible, and (finally) identify the real “they who pierced Him” to be, or at least, the real reason behind. Though I am a preterist, it may not necessary reflect the view and belief of other preterists."

11/25/3: Email Exchanges with David Chilton - Stevens, Preston, North | Chilton: "I had a massive heart attack, went into a coma, was diagnosed as "brain-dead," and even when I woke up I'd forgotten everyone and everything, and was blind too!  Since then, by God's grace, I'm off all medications but aspirin, got an A for the course in Logic at the local college last year, am back to writing and speaking (but *not* pastoring), and I jog ten miles a day!  Shucks, I think if I'd been living like this all my life, it never would'a happened anyway!  Anyway, I think my heart attack, coma, and "brain-death" is the greatest thing that ever happened to me!  Do you think Jacob regretted his limp? (Gen. 32:24-31) "
11/25/3: PREMILLENNIAL DISPENSATIONALISM, CHRISTIAN ZIONISM, TERRORISM/3: IS THERE A CURE? - Ward Fenley "If we are to have an impact on the middle-east, we must have an impact on American foreign policy. If we are to have an impact on American foreign policy, we must have an impact on American politicians. If we are to have an impact American politicians, we must have an impact on fundamentalist Christian Zionists. If we are to have an impact on Fundamentalist Christian Zionists, we must use the Bible. For they claim that justification for their agenda can be found in the pages of what we know as the Old and New Testaments."

11/24/3: Gabor Gombor: Word Games on the Rapture "The critic who stands against the physical rapture fights against a picture of saints flying into the space. It is the next word game with the “air”. Why did not use the author the world “ouranos” here? Let us realize that a rapture does not require flying into sky. The spiritual-physical rapture does not require for a body to fly up. The body can simply disappear and the invisible new uncorrupted body emanates to the Lord. "
11/24/3: Caught Up in God's Presence - "This book deals comprehensively with the issues concerning Christian eschatology (doctrine of the last things), 1st century Jewish history and future church perspective. It is a good introductory book for everyone who is interested in looking at Christian prophecies from historical standpoint."
11/24/3: Jesus, Joe and Christian Prophecy - You hypocrites- you condemn as false the “prophet” Joseph Smith when all he’s done is repeat verbatim what the “prophet” Jesus prophesied. Don’t you know that when you condemn Joe, you’ve also condemned Jesus???

11/20/3: Lloyd Dale - The Thousand Years "Many preterists insist that the "thousand years" in the above passage is fulfilled in the 40 year period between the ascension of Jesus Christ and the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. Thus from their perspective the "thousand years" becomes 40 years. We don't think so!"
11/20/3: Letter by Rabbi David Responding to "Bob" on Judaism - "Tell me about Reconstructionist Judaism (definitely not Judaism at all I presume) and tell me about Reform Judaism (not Judaism at all I presume) and tell me about Conservative Judaism ( some Conservative Synagogues maybe and some may not be genuine Judaism I presume) and tell me about the many Orthodox sects of Judaism of which I know very little, from the Neturei Karta to the followers of Kahane to those who are immersed in the teachings of the Kaballah."

11/18/3: Just who is the Elijah-to-come - MS Cheo. Singapore "I believe the crux of the problem in identifying this prophesied Elijah is that we had been taught (or led) to associate the Messenger of Mal 3:1 and the Elijah-to-come  of Mal 4:5 to be one and the same person!  In the flash of a moment, it occurred to me that they could be two distinct persons.  Further studies show me that these two distinct persons did come and faithfully complete their missions during the lifetime of Jesus!  "

11/18/3: Bible Code Predictions Bomb Again - "Unfortunately, very few have recognized the enormous threat of Preterism and, as such, there are very few titles available exposing the subject. This might surprise the reader, but I would venture to say that for every published book criticizing Preterism, there are 50 promoting it."

There is a phenomenon that reflects the opposite radicalism, which is that the "religious illusion" books became the bestsellers in the U.S. On top of The New York Times list of best-selling books is "Armageddon: The Cosmic Battle of the Ages," written by Anglican preachers Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins." - Arab newspapers starting to increase Muslim awareness of Dispensationalism and "armageddon"
11/17/3: Address by Ariel Sharon - "One thousand, nine hundred and thirty-three years ago, on a hill not far from here, Roman soldiers burned the remains of our Temple, believing that by doing so they had put an end to the Jewish history and legacy. The historian Yosef Ben Matityahu at the time wrote that the destruction of Jerusalem was so widespread: so that one who passes over the place of the destruction, would not believe that there was in this place an inhabited city. However, their plan did not succeed." | Sharon the "Lion of God" (Dispy)
11/15/3: The Times of the Gentiles - Dan Delagrave "Jerusalem's first century desolation represented the time when Christ put his enemies – read I Thessalonians 2:15-16 – under his feet. This was accomplished during a forty two month period which Jesus called "the times of the Gentiles".

11/15/3: PretCosmos Discussion Group - Interesting discussions going

11/13/3: Arthur Melanson - What About the First Century Rapture? "About this time Ed Stevens, after long study, wrote and published a book, Expectations Demand a Rapture. Walt Hibbard wrote one foreword for Ed’s book, we wrote the other. The book has met with intense opposition. Nevertheless, it is a breakthrough of major proportions. It’s not that Ed has discovered the rapture; that knowledge is as old as Scripture, but it is a major breakthrough in seeing and understanding what the first century Christians knew and understood. It’s a breakthrough that has the power to give fresh, accurate insight to the preterist movement."
11/1/3: These days, it seems US Christians care more about Israel than American Jews - "Christian supporters of Israel open up their Bibles and read that Israel is the Promised Land, promised to the Jews. The God-intoxicated Jews they read about in the Bible observe strict dietary laws, honor the Sabbath, and are bound by strict codes of sexual morality."

11/11/3: Debate On Israel's Identity - Landmark Israel Discussion I attended at my sending church in 1996 | 1. Ovid Need, Pastor of Linden Baptist Church - Linden, Indiana - PARTIAL PRETERIST - Israel is Jesus Christ, and all "joint-heirs" in Christ through faith, with no merit in one's nature. 2. Greg Dixon, Pastor of Indianapolis Baptist Temple - Indianapolis, Indiana - DISPENSATIONALIST - Israel is comprised of those "Jews" spread throughout the world, who are currently on "God's prophetic shelf," and are eternally distinct from the church. 3. Ted Wieland, Evangelist - Scottsbluff, Nebraska - CHRISTIAN IDENTITY - Israel is the literal (natural) 'seed' of Abraham, which is comprised solely of the Anglo-Saxon, Germannic Tribes and remnant of Judah. 4. Tom Brush, from Carmel, Indiana - SEEDLINE IDENTITY - Israel is the literal (natural) 'seed' of Adam, as opposed to the "Cainites," which are the literal 'seed' of Satan's intercourse with Eve.

11/10/3: Personal Revelation Discoveries - "I believe that The Day of the Lord has always been Sunday. Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed twice, first by Babylon and then by Rome. The temple was destroyed on the same Jewish day, Ab 10 by Babylon and Rome. It fell on a Sunday both times. The city was destroyed the same day by Babylon and a couple of weeks later by Rome. Once again, the events took place on a Sunday. "

Gentry, Jr "One of the best known and most accessible of the ancient preterists is Eusebius (A.D. 260-340), the "father of church history." In his classic Ecclesiastical History he details Jerusalem's woes in A.D. 70. After a lengthy citation from Josephus's Wars of the Jews, Eusebius writes that "it is fitting to add to his accounts the true prediction of our Saviour in which he foretold these very events" (3:7:1-2.)"

The Romans actually minted a coin celebrating the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus in 70AD. The city is depicted as a woman sitting under a palm tree. She is brought to utter desolation. She sits alone, cf. Jer.15:17. The image of a bereaved woman is repeated through the poem."

10/31/3: Let My People Go - Mark Glenn for Aljazeerah "Despite the best efforts of Abe Foxman and the propagandists at the ADL and other Jewish supremacist organizations, the specter of anti-Semitism in Europe was not as one-sided as they have asserted it to be. The historical revisionists who today attempt to hide from public consideration any items which may fare unfavorably on the image of an innocent and unjustly persecuted Jewish leadership have with much fanfare painted Christians as a vengeful, bloodthirsty band of brigands whose sole motivation was the avenging of Christ’s murder. It must be remembered though, historically speaking, that it was the persecution of the Christians-those deemed to be ”heretics” and who were hunted down and killed under the direction of the Jewish leadership in the days preceding the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD which set the tone for the relationship between the practitioners of the two religions. But more telling than this is a consideration of what frictious seeds were being sown by the Jewish leadership in the what became the clannish culture of the scattered Jewish communities, for it was these seeds wherein would be found the greatest causes of anti-Semitism in Europe and elsewhere. "

10/30/3: The Kingdom of Heaven -- Not the Church - John McPherson "There is NO room for human authority to share the authority of Christ Jesus our King and Sovereign within our New Covenant Kingdom. Those of us who have gained membership within the Kingdom via circumcision in heart and spiritual rebirth have NO accountability to human authorities of any kind. Anyone who believes otherwise must demonstrate this to be the case from the texts focusing on THE KINGDOM – NOT the Church."  (Perhaps an important distinction in the "unlawful gathering" discussion)

10/26/3: In Governor Arnold, finding Nero - Marchand "To illuminate his gardens at night, he had Christians tied to posts and turned into human torches. In response, the author of the Book of Revelation, the last book of the New Testament, more or less identified Nero with the beast that emerges from the pit of hell. After that, Nero's bad publicity just got worse."
10/26/3: More Jews welcome Evangelical Support "Fundamentalist Christian support of Israel, taken to its logical conclusion, is a statement that the Jewish people must cease to exist and accept Christ as their savior," he said.

10/22/3: Death of the Church Victorious Reviewed - Ovid Need Jr. "A new work, "Death of the Church Victorious...." by Ovid Need, a Baptist Pastor, shows how some ideas which have almost taken over the American Evangelical scene may have very suspicious origins. The work gives much space to the development of prophetic interpretation. It shows how failure has permeated the Church with the effect of limiting its concern about and ability to influence the culture."

10/22/3: Bicentennial of Peter Linebaugh's execution "Was he distracted by his Greek and Hebrew studies as a scholar can be? "He pointed out a mistranslation in Paul's epistle to the Hebrews [9:26] objecting to the 'end of the world' and showing from the Greek testament it should be to the 'end of the age.'
10/22/3: "Late God" could have two meanings "The rest of this chapter is a rebuttal to those who are pointing out that early Christian expectations of Christ's immanent return were in error. The scoffers suggest that, either they were wrong in expecting it, or that God had not kept his promise to them."

10/21/3: Added to Vern Crisler: Gary North "His [David Chilton's] heart attack disrupted his ability to think clearly. It distorted his judgment. From his public outburst against Vern Crisler -- for which he later repented, admitting that he cannot think straight these days -- until this self-burial of his pre-1994 writings, David Chilton has gone off the deep end. He has now become self-damaged goods delivered on the doorstep of Max King." (Eulogy)

10/19/3: Clouds of Judgment and Glory - Allen Baily, Old School Baptist "the clouds under consideration seem to my mind to represent the coming of the Lord Jesus in His spiritual manifestation at the end of the Age of the Apostles, which appears to be the same as "the day of the Lord" referred to many times by the Apostles in their writings."
10/19/3: Eschatology and the finger of God - Jim Nicolosi "Much speculation has been made as to what Jesus wrote in the dust with His finger when confronted by the Pharisees concerning the woman caught in adultery (John 8/3:3-9). This study will draw a parallel with the book of Daniel 5:2-31 concerning the events involving Belshazzar, the son of Nebuchadnezzar. "

10/19/3: This is our heaven -- or hell - Karen Armstrong "When Jesus described the Kingdom of Heaven, he too expected its inauguration in this world. Indeed, in St Mark's gospel, he began his mission with the news that the Kingdom of God had already arrived. People would find it within themselves. St Paul called it the Parousia, the presence of God, who would reveal himself irresistibly on earth. Even the book of Revelation should probably not be read, as modern fundamentalists do, as a timetable for Armageddon. It is an apocalypse, an unveiling that enables us to see the divine dimension that is normally hidden, and at the end, the New Jerusalem descends to earth."
10/19/3: Non-Preterist Past Second Advent "It is the view of the writer of this page and a number of Bible students around the world that Jesus Christ has returned. His second advent work at this point is one of destroying the present evil systems of government and false religion. The final members of his "little flock" the "one hundred and forty four thousand" are being sealed. Once the final member of this body meets Christ in the air "Jacob's trouble" will commence.

10/10/3: An Examination of the Olivet Discourse - Kenneth Perkins "John the Baptist taught a near judgment, thereby showing futurist doctrines of a coming judgment (from the vantage point of the twenty-first century and beyond) to be untenable. He fulfilled prophecy spiritually, thereby silencing the futurist objection that the preterist “spiritualization” of scripture is not biblically sound."
10/10/3: A Refutation of Preterism/3: Second Peter, Chapter 3 - Stanley Phillips "With the advent of the Internet, the preterists' view of eschatology (last times) has taken on an organized, consistent, and evangelical nature.

0/9/3: Preterism and Matthew 16:27-28 "It is typical for those who are preterists to condemn dispensationalists for the way we interpret a handful of verses that they do not think we are taking literally (such as Matthew 16/3:27-28 and Matthew 24:34, etc.) and yet they seem to ignore hundreds of kingdom prophecies given by the prophets of old and say that they will never find any literal fulfillment. Any prophetic view which seeks to take a few passages literally in such a way that forces hundreds of verses to be understood in a non-literal way is suspect, to say the least." | AD70 Contrasted

10/7/3: America Obsessed with Future Apocalypse - Tom Harpur of Toronto Star "Revelation has absolutely nothing specific to say about events today or events tomorrow. Fundamentalists conveniently skip over the fact that its very first verse says its contents are about happenings that will occur "speedily" and verse three underlines this by saying the time spoken of is "near" at hand. Nothing could be clearer."
10/7/3: Did Jesus Wrongly Predict A First Century Return in Matthew 24:34? - Rusty Entreken "The context of the Olivet discourse leads us to believe that Jesus was speaking either of the race of the Jews, or of a future generation that was near in consideration."

10/5/3: Ron McClintock - Theocratic agenda for California - "Christian Reconstructionism is a religious and political ideology that believes in the creation of a theocratic state governed by Biblical law," Clarkson told me in a recent telephone interview. While this ideology includes a range of beliefs, Stoos by "publishing in the Chalcedon Report, exhibits a fundamental agreement with the principles of Christian Reconstructionism and the people who are currently the standard bearers of CR undoubtedly see Stoos in that light."

10/4/3: Prophecy or Presumption Benny Hinn: "Canada will be visited with a mighty revival that will start in the west coast of British Columbia. It will sweep across the west. It will sweep across even Alaska and will come east. But the great move of God that I’ve planned for America will not begin on the west coast but on the east coast. It will break loose in the next three years, and sweep across the west.”

Wright/3: Enemy to the Reformed Faith - Still Waters Revival Books "Moveover, as you will find out in the articles cited below, this false teacher denies much about Scripture that our Reformation forefathers faithfully proclaimed -- even those very truths for which some of our brave Reformation brothers and sisters sealed their testimony with their own blood, as martyrs of our Lord Jesus Christ. Furthermore, the Auburn Conference speakers (Doug Wilson, Steve Wilkins, Steve Schlissel, and John Barach) have clearly been drinking from this poison well." N.T. Wright Study Archive
9/28/3: Gibson adds subtitles to "The Passion" "Mr. Gibson "softened" the story because of the Jewish leaders’ comments, cutting out a line from the Gospel of Matthew, for example, in which the Jewish mob shouts for Jesus to be crucified and says, "Let his blood be on us and on our children." Mr. Gibson later said, however, that he regretted the decision. "I wanted it in," he said in the Sept. 15 New Yorker magazine. "My brother said I was wimping out if I didn’t include it. It happened; it was said. But man, if I included that in there, they’d be coming after me at my house, they’d come kill me."
