RECENT ADDITIONS

- Book Reviews

  • Roderick Edwards: A Review and Response to WSTTB (2009) "Since 2004, hyperpreterists have sought to respond to the response but as of yet the hyperpreterists have been unsuccessful in not only publishing a response but even in getting together in enough unity to write a response.  At this present time, there are at least 3 separate teams by hyperpreterists that seek to publish a response."
  • Norman L. Geisler - A Friendly Response to Hank Hanegraaff's Book, The Last Disciple (2006) "Of course even partial preterists are "futurists" regarding the Second Coming and Resurrection. But they reject the futurist understanding of the bulk of Book of Revelation. "

  • Norman L. Geisler - A Response to Steve Gregg's Defense of Hanegraaff (2007) "In brief, Gregg’s attempt to rescue the partial preterist position he shares with Hank Hanegraaff is a failure. It rests upon a methodologically unorthodox way of interpreting Scripture. If this same method were used on the Gospel narratives of the resurrection of Christ, the preterist would also be theologically unorthodox. Thus, while partial preterism itself is not heretical, its hermeneutic is unorthodox, and if applied consistently, would lead to heresy, as indeed it does in full preterism."

 

  • Margaret Barker - The revelation of Jesus Christ: which God gave to him to show to his servants what must soon take place  (2000) "There is a remarkable similarity between the portents and oracles reported by Josephus and those in the Book of Revelation"

  • Alan R. Kerr - The Temple of Jesus' Body: The Temple Theme in the Gospel of John (2002) "This book is a study of the Johannine Christian response to the fall of the Jerusalem Temple in 70 ce. A crucial text in this investigation is Jn 2.13-22 and its context, which provide a lens through which other texts in John are viewed. Kerr's examination of the Temple festivals of Passover, Tabernacles, Dedication suggests that in Jesus fulfils and replaces these, while in the case of the Sabbath he effects a transformation. The overall conclusion is that the Johannine Jesus replaces and fulfils the Jerusalem Temple."

  • Steven J. Frierson - Imperial Cults and the Apocalypse of John : Reading Revelation in the Ruins (2001) After more than a century of debate about the significance of imperial cults for the interpretation of Revelation, this is the first study to examine both the archaeological evidence and the Biblical text in depth. Friesen argues that a detailed analysis of imperial cults as they were practiced in the first century CE in the region where John was active allows us to understand John's criticism of his society's dominant values. He demonstrates the importance of imperial cults for society at the time when Revelation was written, and shows the ways in which John refuted imperial cosmology through his use of vision, myth, and eschatological expectation."

  • N. B. Stonehouse - The Apocalypse in the Ancient Church (1929) This book presents evidence from Patristic sources of the first six centuries for the 70 AD application of Revelation. Available from Calvin College or Westminster College libraries.

  • J.G. Tinius - Die Offenbarung Johannis, durch Einleitung, Uebersetzung und Erklarung (1839)

  • Nir, Rivka  The Destruction of Jerusalem and the Idea of Redemption in the "Syriac Apocalypse of Baruch" "The Syriac Apocalypse of Baruch is a pseudepigraphic apocalyptic work ascribed to Baruch, son of Neriah and the scribe of Jeremiah. Its overt content concerning the last days of the First Temple period disguises a description of the fall of the Second Temple in 70 C.E.  Contrary to the general scholarly view, this book attempts to show that the internal structure and central ideas of 2 Baruch must be understood in a Christian context. This theological identity is reflected mainly in traditions which describe the destruction of Jerusalem and the three apocalyptic visions which depict the coming of the Messiah and the eschatological redemption. These two main themes, which stood at the very core of the dispute between Judaism and Christianity and clearly reflect the basic differences in the outlooks of the two faiths, can be criteria to uncover the theological identity of the work. The author’s conclusion sheds light on the Christian character of other pseudepigraphic and apocalyptic books"  (EJL 20  Society of Biblical Literature - SBL, viii + 318 pages, Paper, English, 2003).

2,000 YEARS OF JOSEPHUS

  • Bentwich, Norman: Josephus  (1914) "Yet did they occasion the fulfilment of prophecies relating to their country. For there was an ancient oracle that the city should be taken and the sanctuary burnt when sedition should affect the Jews." Josephus shares the pagan outlook of the Roman historian Tacitus, who is horrified at the Jewish disregard of the omens and portents which betokened the fall of their city, and speaks of them as a people prone to superstition (what we would call faith) and deaf to divine warnings (what we would call superstition). Josephus and his friends were looking for signs and prophecies of the ruin of the people as an excuse for surrender; the Zealots, men of sterner stuff and of fuller faith, were resolved to resist to the end, and would brook no parleying with the enemy."

The history of the West is also tied to the event of the 9th of Ab, 70.  In the destruction of the Temple, which Jesus had frequented, the first Christians saw the proof of the arrival of a new world..  Unlike other great events in Antiquity, and even in times nearer to our own, all the consequences of the battle and fall of Jerusalem have not yet run their course."

PRE-70 DATE FOR BOOK OF REVELATION:

ADVOCATES FOR THE EARLY DATING
OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION

Greg Bahnsen (1984) "A partial list of scholars who have supported the early date for Revelation, gleaned unsystematically from my reading, would include the following 18th and 19th writers not already mentioned just above: John Lightfoot, Harenberg, Hartwig, Michaelis, Tholuck, Clarke, Bishop Newton, James MacDonald, Gieseler, Tilloch, Bause, Zullig, Swegler, De Wett, Lucke, Bohmer, Hilgenfeld, Mommsen, Ewald, Neander, Volkmar, Renan, Credner, Kernkel, B. Weiss, Reuss, Thiersch, Bunsen, Stier, Auberlen, Maurice, Niermeyer, Desprez, Aube, Keim, De Pressence, Cowles, Scholten, Beck, Dusterdiek, Simcox, S. Davidson, Beyschlag, Salmon, Hausrath. Continuing on into the 20th century we could list Plummer, Selwyn, J.V. Bartlet, C.A. Scott, Erbes, Edmundson, Henderson, and others. If one's reading has been limited pretty much to the present and immediately preceding generations of writers on Revelation, then the foregoing names may be somewhat unfamiliar to him, but they were not unrecognized in previous eras. When we combine these names with the yet outstanding stature of Schaff, Terry, Lightfoot, Westcott, and Hort, we can feel the severity of Beckwith's understatement when in 1919 he described the Neronian dating for Revelation as "a view held by many down to recent times."[40] By many indeed! It has been described, as we saw above, as "the ruling view" of critics," by "the majority of modern critics," by "most modern scholars," and by "the whole force of modern criticism." The weight of scholarship placed behind the Neronian option for the dating of Revelation has been staggering. In our won day it has gained the support of such worthies as C.C. Torrey, J.A.T. Robinson, and F.F. Bruce and has been popularized by Jay Adams.[41] In 1956 Torrey could write about the number 666, "It is now the accepted conclusion that the beast is the emperor Nero."[42]" (Historical Setting for the Dating of Revelation)

The Middle Ages
"VENGEANCE OF THE LORD" AND "WANDERING JEW" TRADITIONS

"As Alvin E. Ford has pointed out, the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries were witness to a flurry of texts in the Vengeance of Our Lord tradition: "Verse versions, prose versions, chansons de geste, mystery plays, book-length documents and one-page résumés, all attest to the widespread diffusion of the apocryphal Vengeance of Our Lord throughout the medieval Christian world." Of Old and Middle French prose versions alone, Ford identifies fifty-four (and counting) manuscripts, "representing nine independent but interrelated traditions," the primary works being La Vengeance de Nostre-Seigneur and Roger d'Argenteuil's Bible en François.18 Wright, studying the representation of Jerusalem's destruction in medieval drama, comments (p. 1) on the surprising popularity of the story in drama during this same period:

From their first appearance in the mid-fourteenth century until as late as 1622, plays of the destruction of Jerusalem are known to have been performed in six different languages (German, French, Italian, Spanish, English, and Latin) to the delight of audiences in dozens of communities scattered across the Continent. Indeed, French performance records indicate that, over the course of more than two centuries, only the story of Christ's Passion was staged more frequently than the Vengeance of Our Lord. By the late sixteenth century, dramatizations of the siege of Jerusalem, most of which required from two to four days to perform, had spread from their earliest homes in Thuringia and Burgundy to the Tirol, Savoy, the Italian Briançonnais, Switzerland, England, and Castile.

Even within the relatively small corpus of late Middle English poetry, we have at least four extant poems that focus primarily on the Vengeance of Our Lord: the alliterative poem of Siege of Jerusalem here edited, two versions (one short, one long) of the rhyming-couplet Titus and Vespasian, and a translation of Roger d'Argenteuil's Bible en François. " Edited by Michael Livingston

Derek Daschke: City of Ruins: Mourning the Destruction of Jerusalem Through Jewish Apocalypse (2010)

PAST AND PRESENT STATE OF PALESTINE ; Christ's Second Coming not fulfilled at the Destruction of Jerusalem.—This is the title of a little pamphlet aiming to establish that the second coming of Christ could not, as some suppose, have taken place at the period of the destruction of Jerusalem. The author proves clearly to our mind that the issue of the destruction of Jerusalem was very different from the effects that were to result to the Jews at Christ's second coming, and that the promises to them, connected with that event, have not yet been fulfilled. The author proves first of all—and it is really a sad token that such a proof is required— that Christ did not certainly appear on earth during that period. He then proceeds to narrate the events we are led to expect before our Lord's coining. He mentions the works and signs of Antichrist, and his appearance, and argues—and we herein agree with him—that he has not yet come, and that the description given of him is only in part applicable to any of the supposed Antichrists. One of the signs is, the Jews will receive him; for our Saviour says,' 'If another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive." Now if the Jews had ever received such an one, they could not still be looking for Messiah, as they are to this day.

The coming of Christ is to be immediately after the tribulation of those days. Those days, our author says, are not yet ended ; they will close with the tribulation of the last days, after which Jesus will immediately appear. Christ is to come after the Jews are converted ; now if He had come at the destruction of Jerusalem, how is it that the veil continues unto the present day ? Christ is to light for Israel. He certainly did not fight for them at the destruction of Jerusalem. .Again, a resurrection must attend our Lord's return to this earth, and the judgment must take place after He has come. The author demonstrates that these things have not yet taken place, but most surely will be fulfilled.

We have given a very meagre outline of this little book, as we are pressed for want of space. But even this mere sketch will suffice to show that the contents are interesting and varied, and worthy to be studied."  (The Scattered nation and Jewish Christian magazine, vol. II)

A response to: The Second Advent: Or, what do the Scriptures teach respecting the Second Coming of Christ, the End of the World, the Resurrection of the Dead, and the General Judgment ?
 


Philip Mauro wrote 35 books of which three were later published as one volume (Expository Readings in Romans in 1913). The Number of Man (1909) is included as a bonus item.  Bible Chronology and Patmos Visions were eventually published as revised, expanded publications (The Wonder of Bible Chronology and Of Things Which Must Soon Come to Pass, both in 1936). Both are still in print today and freely available. Mauro later retracted his 1913 book, Looking for the Saviour and for that reason it was not included in the collection of book manuscripts. The rest are all here:

(1) Reason to Revelation (1905); (2) The World and Its God (1905); (3) Man’s Day (1908); (4) Life in the Word (1909); (5) The “Wretched Man” and His Deliverance (1910); (6) God’s Gospel and God’s Righteousness (Romans 1:1–5:11) (1910); (7) God’s Gift and Our Response (Romans 5:12–8:13) (1910); (8) God’s Love and God’s Children (Romans 8:14–16:27) (1910) – 6, 7 and 8 later appeared in one publication, see Number 11; (9) God’s Pilgrims (1912); (10)  God’s Apostle and High Priest (1913); (11) Expository Readings in Romans (1913) (see 6,7 and 8 previously); (12) The Last Call to the Godly Remnant (1914); (13) Baptism (1914); (14) “After This”: or the Church, the Kingdom and the Glory (1918); (15) The Kingdom of Heaven: What Is It?

Authorized or Revised? (1924); (25) How Long to the End? (1927); (26) The Gospel of the Kingdom (1928); (27) The Hope of Israel (1929); (28) The Church, the Churches and the Kingdom (1936)

TITLES INCLUDED IN “COLLECTED SHORTER WRITINGS” The Collected Shorter Writings is approximately 300 pages long and should by itself be a collector's dream: 30 manuscripts of which some can only be classified as extremely rare or scarce while others are classics. A terrific compilation.

BONUS ITEMS (1) The Number of Man (1909) (essentially the same theme as Man's Day of 1908 but nevertheless included in the Library); (2) A Chronological Timeline of the Bible (compiled from the charts in The Wonder of Bible Chronology); (3) The 430 years of Exodus 12:40, 41 and Galatians 3:17 and The 400 years of Genesis 15:13 and Acts 7:6  (compiled from the charts in The Wonder of Bible Chronology).

  • David Vaughn Elliott: Nobody Left Behind (2004)  http://www.nobodyleftbehind.net/contents.html

    "Nobody Left Behind" examines modern-day theories of end-time prophecies in the light of clear Bible teaching. It helps the reader distinguish truth from theory by looking at Bible verses in context. While "Nobody Left Behind" is partly a reaction to the popular "Left Behind" novels by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, it is much more than that. It offers a detailed study of the historical fulfillment of some of the most exciting prophecies in Scripture: the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple in A.D. 70, the rise of the Antichrist, and the arrival of God's kingdom on earth, among others. To the extent that "Nobody Left Behind" is a critique of the popular "Left Behind" novels, it is based on several sources. Mr. Elliott has examined the colorful fold-out chart, "A Visual Guide to the Left Behind Series," which gives LaHaye and Jenkins' brief outline of Revelation, showing where each novel of the series fits in. More importantly, Mr. Elliott carefully considered Tim LaHaye’s newest Revelation commentary, "Revelation Unveiled." This updated edition of LaHaye's commentary appeared in 1999, and it was offered, as expressed on the back cover, as "The biblical foundation for the best-selling Left Behind series." In addition, Mr. Elliott digested novel #1 of the series, "Left Behind, A Novel of the Earth’s Last Days," which introduces most of the leading characters and issues. He has also read #2 of the series, "Tribulation Force." Reading the remaining novels is unnecessary. Tim LaHaye’s Revelation commentary is a more important source for critiquing the novels than the novels themselves.

    "Nobody Left Behind" respectfully examines the claimed biblical foundation for the "Left Behind" series. This "foundation" is a view of Bible prophecy called futurism, a view which teaches that the great bulk of Bible prophecies have not yet been fulfilled but rather are awaiting fulfillment any day now. Mr. Elliott's critique is thus not just an examination of one set of novels but rather an examination of the entire view of Bible prophecy that underlies those novels.

    "Nobody Left Behind" offers 334 pages of compelling biblical and historical evidence that various "end-time" prophecies have actually already been wonderfully fulfilled. This alternative view, commonly called the historical view or historicism, was the most popular view among Bible believers for several centuries before the twentieth century. However, times have changed, and many Bible believers today are not even aware that the views set forth in the "Left Behind" series are relatively new.

    If you desire a greater understanding of God's prophetic Word, "Nobody Left Behind" is for you. If you are looking for prophecy studies that are in depth yet easy to understand, "Nobody Left Behind" is your book of choice. If you want to find out if the "Left Behind" novels are true to the Bible, "Nobody Left Behind" will offer you the facts for making your decision. If you are seeking a book on Bible prophecy that will open your eyes to historical reality all the while enriching your faith, "Nobody Left Behind: Insight into 'End-Time' Prophecies" is the book you should read.

    The book is well-documented, includes quotations from ancient Christian and Jewish writers, offers extensive Scripture and subject indexes, and contains attractive illustrations and detailed charts to aid the reader.

 

 

HISTORIE, DE-, van de deerlyke distructie ende ondergank der stad Jerusalem. Door den keyzer Verspasiaen, met veele en verscheidene geschiedenissen der Joden (1732)   "Rare early chapbook edition of the account of the destruction of the city of Jerusalem, based on "De Bello Judaico" by Flavius Josephus. The version popular in the Northern Netherlands however, entirely differs from the version popular in the Southern Netherlands, at least after 1621 when the old version was forbidden in the Southern Netherlands. After 1621 the version in the Southern Netherlands was titled "De verderffenisse of destructie van Jerusalem" and edited by the famous Flemish historian Adriaen van Meerbeeck (1563-1627). In the Northern Netherlands the old version remained in use, still unexpurgated of wild anecdotes and curious legends, like Pilatus together with the Jews defending Jerusalem, and during the siege the starved women ate their children, and gave Pilatus a quarter of each child to eat. Or the story that after the Romans had conquered the city, Pilatus was brought to trial, but all the Jews were slaughtered by the Romans who searched for gold in their stomachs. The present chapbook is one of the rarest, both in the Northern and Southern Netherlands."
