The Soteriological and Eschatological Implications of Seeing the Kingdom and Being Born Again at Christ’s Parousia in AD 70 BY: MICHAEL J. SULLIVAN My purpose in this article is twofold. First, I want to propose and defend that the Church (as God’s New Creation) was corporately born again at Christ’s parousia in AD 70. And secondly, it is my purpose…
Don defends the biblical position that the millennium or thousand years of Revelation 20 began in the earthly ministry of Christ and ended prior to AD 70.
The “First” “Present” Holy Place (Old Covenant) Removed and The Most Holy Place (New Covenant) Established in AD 70 at Christ’s Second Appearing (Hebrews 9:6-10, 26-28) By Michael J. Sullivan While Moses received the pattern to build the tabernacle from God in Exodus 25-30, David received the plans to build the Temple from the Holy Spirit in 1 Chronicles…
By Michael J. Sullivan In this article I want to address two issues. First, is Joel McDurmon asserting in his debate with Don Preston that Abraham did not inherit the land promise and if we say that he did, then according to Acts 7 – the Bible contradicts itself. According to McDurmon if Abraham didn’t inherit the land or the…
Talbot-Jason has posted a superb example of the “full preterist presuppositions” that have increasingly emerged from within the church in history. The Westminster Confession of Faith: Q. 85. Death being the wages of sin, why are not the righteous delivered from death, seeing all their sins are forgiven in Christ? A. The righteous shall be delivered from death itself at…
Joel McDurmon on Luke 21:22 Don K. Preston D. Div. www.eschatology.org In the McDurmon -V- Preston debate, July 19-21, 2012, Joel McDurmon clearly anticipated that I would appeal to Luke 21:22 where Jesus, describing the impending destruction of Jerusalem, said “These be the days of vengeance, in which all things that are written must be fulfilled.” McDurmon, it seems, thought…
Below is my response to Keith Mathison and Simon Kistemaker on the millennium of Revelation 20 that will be added to our book House Divided Bridging the Gap in Reformed Eschatology A Preterist Response to When Shall These Things Be? in our next edition. A condensed version never made it into the first edition and I felt this material needed…
By: Michael J. Sullivan copyright 2008 – Thank you so much for your understanding and Christian charity and integrity in advance. Editorial note: Years ago I spoke at a Preterist conference and developed the temple imagery from Genesis – Revelation. The message was never taped and I didn’t have time to cover all of my material. Here is some of…
Since Joel McDurmon appealed to his articles on 2 Peter 3 for further study and to support his distinctions of two different de-creation events – one alleged direct and literal fulfillment in Revelation 20:11 of the planet earth, and another covenantal and spiritual of the Old Covenant (OC) system passing and yielding to the NC creation by AD 70 in…
By David Green / Michael Bennett / Michael Sullivan Talbotism or Partial Preterism would ask: . . . Jesus left. And unless you ignore his promise to be with them until the end of the age, you would have to agree that there is a sense in which he didn’t leave. Well, it seems awfully obvious to me now that…
Joel McDurmon, Dominionism and the Sabbath Don K. Preston D. Div. In my formal debate with Joel McDurmon of American Vision (July 19-21, 2012), in my first affirmative presentation, I took note of the critical, but mostly overlooked, importance of the Sabbath to the study of eschatology. I proved that the Sabbath was a distinctively covenantal sign between God and…
Per Mike Sullivan’s request, I am posting the audio to the most recent “Two Men and A Bible Broadcast” co-hosted by Don K. Preston, D. Div, and Williamn Bell currently at BlogTalkRadio.com/eschatology-allthingsfulfilled. This study surveyed the tabernacle of God as the place where death is removed, showing the emphasis of the tabernacle and priesthood to be the foundation of the…
Critique of American Vision/Joel McDurmon’s Affirmative – “The Hour is coming” (JOHN 4:21-24 & JOHN 5:28-29) By Michael J. Sullivan In Joel McDurmon’s recent debate with Don Preston, he proposed a few arguments leveled at Full Preterism (FP) which I will now summarize and then address in the body of this article. First, God’s promise to Abraham was that he…
The Tabernacle of God Where Death is Removed Is Resurrection by William Bell on August 14, 2012 Behold, The Tabernacle of God Is With Men Resurrection in the Tabernacle of God The Tabernacle of God or the eschatological temple is a key theme of the Bible and particularly of the doctrine of resurrection in the New Testament. It is the…
A FULL PRETERIST RESPONSE TO PARTIAL PRETERIST JOEL MCDURMON’S ARTICLE “THE ‘PASSING’ AWAY OF HEAVEN AND EARTH IN REVELATION 20:11 AND 21:1” Part 1 – 2 Peter 3 By: Michael J. Sullivan We once again turn our attention to the arbitrary hermeneutics of Partial Preterism (PP) in examining an article produced by American Vision’s Joel McDurmon as to why he…
