To view my PowerPoint slides for the recent 2026 Arkansas Eschatology Conference click this link I added the full presentation here with additional slides (I had to cut some out due to time constraints).  Enjoy!

Introduction In Parts 1 and 2 of this series we demonstrated that the “heavens and earth” which pass away in the New Testament (Psalm 102; Hebrews 1 & 12; 2 Peter 3; Revelation 20–21) consistently refer to the old-covenant order established at Sinai, not to the physical creation of Genesis 1. Tim Martin and Covenant … Continue reading “The False Covenant-Creation Reading of Abel and 1 Corinthians 15:39-41: A Response to Tim Martin (Part 3)”

Introduction: Building on the Covenant Creation of Sinai In Part 1 we established that the “heavens and earth” created at Sinai (Isaiah 51:15-16; Deuteronomy 32:6) and destined to pass away in AD 70 are the consistent referent to the “heavens and earth” in Psalm 102, Hebrews 1 and 12, and Revelation 21. Part 2 develops … Continue reading “Typology and the Passing of the Mosaic Old Covenant Heavens and Earth: Refuting Kenneth Gentry’s Partial Preterism and Tim Martin’s Covenant Creationism in 2 Peter 2–3 (Part 2)”

Introduction What are the “heavens and earth” that the New Testament describes as growing old, being shaken, passing away, or being replaced by the new heavens and new earth? Are they the heavens and earth of Genesis 1:1, as Tim Martin’s Covenant Creationism requires, or are they the Old Covenant Mosaic heavens and earth established through … Continue reading “The Old Covenant “Heavens and Earth” — Isaiah 51:15-16, Psalm 102, Hebrews 1, and Revelation 21: A Response to Tim Martin and Covenant Creation (Part 1)”

Song to go with article: Introduction Having established in previous chapters that neither the Old Testament nor the New Testament supports the claim that the modern state of Israel fulfills prophecy, we now face an even more fundamental question: who, exactly, are the people living in that state, and what are they trying to accomplish? … Continue reading “Who Are the People in Modern Israel? The Rothschild‑Ashkenazi Network, Talmudic Supremacy, and the Globalist Technocratic Death Cult – Including False Flags, Assassinations, and the Capture of the American Presidency”

Songs I wrote to go with this article – enjoy: For decades, the modern state of Israel has justified its existence on a single claim: that the Jewish people are the biological descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and therefore hold exclusive, God-given rights to the land of Israel. This claim is treated as sacrosanct … Continue reading “The Genetic and Theological Lie: Why the Zionist Claim Fails on Every Front — Genetics, Genealogy, Theology, and Scripture All Point to AD 70”

Song to go with article: I. Introduction: Fulfillment Does Not Return to Shadow One of the most important—and yet often overlooked—questions in biblical interpretation concerns the nature of prophetic fulfillment itself. When Scripture declares that prophecy has been fulfilled, what precisely does that mean? Does fulfillment signify completion, consummation, and realization? Or may fulfilled prophecy … Continue reading “The Dilemma of Giving AD 70 Double Fulfillments–One Coming, One Appointed Time, One End, One Hope of Israel, and One New Jerusalem / Creation”

(From the book I’m working on “In the Land v. In Christ”: Chapter 10 – How “All Israel” Was Saved in AD 70: Romans 9–11)  Songs I wrote on Romans 9-11 you can listen to as you read. Tell me which one you like best: 1).  This one is a duet and more worship oriented: … Continue reading “How “All Israel” Was “Saved” in AD 70: Romans 9–11″

Introduction One of the most frequently repeated claims of Dispensational theology is that it alone maintains a consistent literal interpretation of Old Testament prophecy. According to this approach, promises concerning Israel’s land, temple, priesthood, sacrifices, and national restoration must be fulfilled literally because God’s covenant faithfulness requires it. Any spiritual or Christ-centered fulfillment of these … Continue reading “Impaled Upon the Horns of the Dispensational Dilemma Circumcision, Sacrifices, and Another Gospel”

(This is Chapter 14 in my new book coming out soon – “In the Land v. In Christ). I.  Introduction: The Problem and the Preterist Solution As this discussion of the Zealot Zionist Armageddon Deception unfolds, the events foretold in my earlier 2021 book, “Armageddon Deception…” are accelerating. The religions of Islam, Talmudic Zionism, and … Continue reading “The Armageddon Deception—The Globalists, Zealot Zionism, the Real Kingdom of Christ, and the Power of Fulfillment”

Copyright 2021 and revised 1/29/26 by Michael J. Sullivan – thank you for your Christian or scholarly integrity in advance.  Enjoy! Introduction The prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27 is the chronomessianic heartbeat of redemptive history, declaring that seventy sevens (490 literal years) are “determined” (חָתַךְ, cut out, decreed) to accomplish six inseparable covenantal purposes for Daniel’s … Continue reading “Daniel 9:24-27: A Full Preterist Interpretation Integrating Qumran, Melchizedek, and First-Century Imminent Expectations”

The New Jerusalem, Present Cleanness, and the Logical and Soteriological Failure of Delayed Eschatology In a recent public debate between myself and Don K. Preston against Jeremiah Nortier and Sam Frost on the Olivet Discourse, Revelation 21:27 was raised as an objection to my position. This appeal was predictable. In my opening presentation, I affirmed … Continue reading “Nothing Unclean Enters–Revelation 21:27, the New Jerusalem, and the Collapse of Delayed Eschatology”

The following is what John Owen and John Lightfoot were looking at when they interpreted “heaven and earth” in NT eschatological contexts as the passing of the old covenant system and the arrival of the new in AD 70. They were using not only a “grammatical hermeneutic” but a “historical” hermeneutic which many today neglect. … Continue reading “The Jewish Targums and Reformed Exegesis of “Heaven and Earth” in Isaiah 51:15–16 and Isaiah 65:17 With an Exegesis of Isaiah 65”

Introduction Fifteen years before Gary DeMar’s “Three Question Letter Controversy” with Doug Wilson and others, I was already answering Wilson, Gentry, and Mathison’s When Shall These Things Be? (2004) with a book-length exegetical rebuttal. Gary has repeatedly stated he is not a full preterist. I am. Yet Doug still refuses the public debate we once … Continue reading “The DeMar v. Wilson Discussion – Partial Preterism’s Fatal Flaw: How Mellō and Parousia Gave Birth to Full Preterism”

Introduction Critics of Full Preterism often mischaracterize the view that Christ’s Parousia, the Day of the Lord, and the resurrection were spiritually fulfilled in AD 70 as akin to the premature eschatological errors condemned in 2 Thessalonians 2:1–2 and 2 Timothy 2:17–18. These passages, however, do not refute Full Preterism but rather align with it … Continue reading “How 2 Thessalonians 2:1–2 and 2 Timothy 2:17–18 Expose Futurist Errors, Not Preterist Ones”

Introduction As Full Preterists, we stand on the shoulders of exegetes like John Lightfoot, John Gill, Milton Terry, and Keith Mathison to explore Acts 1:3, 8–11. This article argues that Jesus’ 40-day post-resurrection ministry inaugurated a New Covenant second exodus (AD 30-70), fulfilled in AD 70, as anticipated by the Song of Moses (Deut. 32:5, … Continue reading “Acts 1:3–11 and the AD 70 Parousia: Jesus’ 40 Days and the New Covenant Second Exodus 40 Years Generation”

Introduction – The Authority of the Creeds? Gary DeMar recently visited Moscow, Idaho, where he appeared on the CrossPolitic podcast to promote his new book on Greg Bahnsen and presuppositional apologetics. During the visit, the hosts confronted DeMar with a widely discussed three-question letter, signed by several individuals, seeking clarity on his views regarding a … Continue reading “Response to Doug Wilson’s Hyper-Creedal Argument Against Full Preterism & Gary DeMar – Christ Coming in Glory to Judge the Living and Dead”

Introduction: Untangling Eschatological Confusion The Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24–25) is a battleground for eschatological interpretation, with Dispensationalists and Partial Preterists like Kenneth Gentry dividing it into two comings of Christ—one marked by signs, the other allegedly signless. Dispensationalists propose a secret rapture followed by a Second Coming seven years later, while Partial Preterists separate an … Continue reading “Matthew 24-25 Fulfilled in AD 70, Part 10: (Matthew 24:40-25:46) One Taken, One Left, the Parables, and the Judgment of the Nations and the Devil”

Matthew 24 stands as a monumental testament to Jesus’ prophetic precision, weaving together the Jewish betrothal wedding idiom, the Mosaic feasts, and the Old Testament’s resurrection promises to proclaim the imminent judgment of Jerusalem in AD 70. Central to this discourse is the “day and hour” imagery (Matt. 24:36), which echoes the unique characteristic of … Continue reading “Matthew 24-25 Fulfilled in AD 70, Part 9: (Matthew 24:36) “Only the Father Knows the Day and Hour” – Eschatological Wedding & Feast of Trumpets”

Introduction Jesus’ words in Matthew 24:35—“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away”—seem to predict a cosmic end. Yet, a contextual, historical hermeneutic reveals they signify the old covenant’s dissolution in AD 70, not the planet’s destruction. Reformed and Evangelical scholars largely agree, yet “orthodox” Futurists cling to Revelation 20:11 … Continue reading “Matthew 24-25 Fulfilled in AD 70, Part 8: (Matthew 24:35) Heaven and Earth Will Pass Away, but My Words Will Not Pass Away”

Introduction: The Fig Tree, the Appointed Time, and the Terminal Generation The parable of the fig tree in Matthew 24:32–34 and Luke 21:29–32 is not a vague cipher for modern geopolitics, but a precise covenantal sign rooted in the Song of Moses. Just as the budding branches and new leaves signal summer’s nearness, so the … Continue reading “Matthew 24-25 Fulfilled in AD 70, Part 7: (Matthew 24:32-34) The Terminal Second Exodus “This Generation” From Moses to Jesus”

Introduction The “gathering” of the elect in Matthew 24:30–31 or the harpazō (“catching away”) of 1 Thessalonians 4:15–17 are often misread as a literal, physical rapture into the sky or physical resurrection event to take place at the end of world history. In reality, these texts are steeped in second-exodus imagery drawn from Isaiah 27:12–13 … Continue reading “Matthew 24-25 Fulfilled in AD 70, Part 6: (Matthew 24:30-31 / Luke 21:27-28) The Second Exodus Trumpet Gathering & Redemption”

Matthew 24:29-30: Setting the Stage The New Testament’s language of imminence and apocalyptic imagery, particularly in Matthew 24:29-30, draws deeply from the Old Testament’s vivid depictions of divine judgment. Jesus’ prophecy of cosmic upheaval—darkened sun, falling stars, and His coming on the clouds—echoes OT patterns of “near,” “soon,” and “without delay” judgments, fulfilled within the … Continue reading “Matthew 24-25 Fulfilled in AD 70, Part 5: (Matthew 24:27-30) Unveiling the OT Roots of Matthew 24’s Use of Imminence and Apocalyptic Language”

Introduction In the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21), Jesus prophesies His second coming (Greek Parousia) , warning against false messiahs and describing His return as an unmistakable “daylight” or “sunshine” shining from east to west (Matthew 24:27, AENT). This chapter examines Matthew 24:23–31, alongside Mark 13:21–27, Luke 21:25–28, and Luke 17:20–24, emphasizing … Continue reading “Matthew 24-25 Fulfilled in AD 70, Part 4: (Matthew 24:23-27) The Radiant Return: Christ’s AD 70 Coming as the Sun of Righteousness”

Introduction In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus prophesies the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple, signaling the fulfillment of all Old Testament (OT) prophecies, including the Great Tribulation, resurrection, and Second Coming (Matt. 24; Luke 21). Here in part 3 of our series on the Olivet Discourse we explore Matthew 24:16–24 and Luke 21:20–24, focusing on … Continue reading “Matthew 24-25 Fulfilled in AD 70, Part 3: (Matthew 24:15-22/Luke 21:20-24) The Flight from Jerusalem, the Great Tribulation, All OT Fulfilled, and the Appointed Times of the Gentiles”
