Daniel 9, The Seventy Weeks and the LXX (Guest Article by Don K. Preston)

Daniel 9, The Seventy Weeks and the LXX Don K. Preston (eschatology.org) Needless to say, Daniel 9:24-27 has generated an endless amount of prophetic speculation. Some of it has been, shall we say, off  the wall, while other students have attempted to deal objectively and seriously with this important text. Much of the speculation concerning Daniel 9:24-27 has been and…

Don Preston Responds To Kenneth Gentry and Joel McDurmon on Their Lack of Logic in Luke 21:22

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…

Joel McDurmon, Dominionism and the Sabbath

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…

Death: “The Christian’s Finest Hour” The Paradox of Modern Eschatologies by Don K. Preston Just recently, I attended the funeral of a fine Christian lady. The minister did a wonderful job of speaking of the woman’s faith, her Christ-like spirit of helping others, and of the surety of her reward in heaven. In fact, the minister related that he had…

Preston In the ongoing controversy about Covenant Eschatology, one of the main arguments being proposed by the opponents of true preterism is that of church history and the church creeds.

What About Acts 1?

What About, “In Like Manner?” One of the most common objections to Covenant Eschatology is based on Acts 1:9f. The disciples, beholding the ascending Christ, were told that he would come, “in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven” (Acts 1:9f), this means, we are told, that Jesus must return in a physical body. There are a…

The Binding of Satan.

by Don K Preston “Satan is bound?!? Why that is ridiculous; just look around. There is evil, temptation, suffering, and immorality. Satan cannot be bound if these things are present.” This is a typical response to the contention of realized eschatology that Jesus has fully conquered Satan and destroyed his power. We well recognize the emotional response such a suggestion…

Can God Tell Time?

Almost two thousand years ago John the Baptizer said “Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand,” Matthew 3:2. Jesus, Son of God, echoed those words “the kingdom of heaven is at hand,” Matthew 4:17. The Prince of Peace sent his disciples out to preach the same message, Luke 10. Jesus clearly said the kingdom, and other events as…
