Postmillennial Division Theories of Matthew 24-25 Refuted by Other Postmillennialists – The Eschatological Schizophrenia/ Madness or “House Divided” of Gentry and DeMar in Matthew 24-25 and Revelation 20:5-15 Heaven and Earth Will Pass Away (Mt. 24:35) So far we have found contextual and grammatical reasons to interpret the “end of the age” as the OC age in vs. 3, the stars…
Introduction: As I stated before, at the PPW 2017 Conference I simply did not have the time to develop all the information I wanted to. I briefly scanned over a chart I produced between Luke 21:27-28 and Romans 8:18-23YLT demonstrating that Paul was once again drawing from and developing Jesus’ eschatology. If I had the time this is the rest…
Introduction and Review We are currently looking at the problem Postmillennial Partial Preterism has with the doctrine of the resurrection and the analogy of faith principle of interpretation. In our last study we looked at how Matthew 24:30-31 is the Second Coming and resurrection event of 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 and I gave an exegesis of 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 to demonstrate…
House Divided the Break-up of Postmillennialism and the Formation of Full Preterism Introduction: At this point I’m going to be combining some material I produced for a lecture I did at one of the Berean Bible Conferences dealing with refuting the various literal rapture positions of some Postmillennialists and Partial Preterists with what I presented this year at the PPW…
Introduction: As we saw in my first lecture and study of Postmillennialism’s treatment of the eschatological wedding and wedding feast found in Matthew 8:10-12; 22:1-14; 25:1-13 and Revelation 19-22, there is a clear avoidance of the OT fulfillment of this event found in Isaiah 25:6-9, because when the wedding feast is fulfilled (“in that day”) is when “death is…
Introduction Kenneth Gentry wrote a book with Greg Bahnsen (with Gary DeMar contributing) entitled, “House Divided the Break-up of Dispensationalism.” The purpose was to demonstrate that the admissions within Progressive Dispensationalism destroyed Dispensationalism altogether. Therefore, Progressives needed to choose between a failing Dispensationalism and that of Covenant or Reformed eschatology. I will be using the “House Divided” approach of Kenneth…
Introduction: Having examined the problems with Postmillennialism in regards to the eschatological wedding feast and resurrection, I want to now turn our attention to the problems for Postmillennialism in the parable of the wheat and tares and the resurrection in Matthew 13:36-43/Daniel 12:2-3. Matthew 13:36-43 36 Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to…
We are continuing to examine and refute the Postmillennial position of the NT teaching TWO parousias of Christ connected with TWO resurrections. By necessity, this also requires them having to teach TWO eschatological weddings and wedding feasts separated by thousands of years as well. Matthew 8:10-12: 10 When Jesus heard this [expression of the Gentile’s faith], he marveled and said…
In John 3, Matthew 3 and Mark 1 we learn that John the Baptist is one of the groomsmen or “friend of the groom” (Paul is the other) that is preparing the hearts and way of the remnant of Jerusalem for the restoration and reformation that is coming in an “at hand” harvest judgment and salvation. Jesus was baptized not…
Introduction In Part 2 of this series, we will begin by examining the various steps and phases contained within a Jewish betrothal/marriage process. From there we will look at God’s OT betrothal and marriage to Israel, God’s divorce and putting to death of Israel and then His promises of a coming New Covenant betrothal and marriage to the Church (the…
I am in the process of turning my 2017 PPW lectures on The Problems for Postmillennialism into an article series. After that, I will be turning them over to be put into a book (along with some of my material in HD). I am hoping to have some co-authors in the book as well – but I’m waiting on that possibility. My Approach…
