    The Christological Principle in Prophecy

    Consider the Tribulation Period. It is all about the glory of Christ. 1. Christ prophesied it in Matthew 24 (esp. vv. 21-24). It will be to His glory then, when the fulfillment occurs and there actually is a Tribulation Period. And by the way, nothing that He prophesied has yet happened, yet...

    The Christological Principle in Prophecy

    So, the amil, postmil, and preterist do not believe in the rapture. But the rapture certainly glorifies Christ. How? 1. He promised to come back and receive them to Himself in John 14: "2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place...

    The Christological Principle in Prophecy

    This morning in our devotions the wife and I sang, "The Way of the Cross Leads Home." We are right to love our Savior and be deeply, incredibly thankful that He died for us and rose again.

    Seeking a Sound Baptist Seminary in the U.S. — and Possibly a Christian Home

    I'm the PDSO (Principal Designated School Official) at our college, so I help with our international students. The main problem I see that keeps students from getting a student visa here is a lack of diligence. The student must plan ahead, do everything he or she is supposed to as informed by...

    The Christological Principle in Prophecy

    There are other similar lists, but here is my list of Christ as the theme of all the prophets: Isaiah: the suffering Servant and conquering King Jeremiah: Christ the Lord of righteousness Ezekiel: Christ as God’s high priest Daniel: Christ seen as King Hosea: Christ as the resurrected Son of...

    The Christological Principle in Prophecy

    Here are some more Scriptures about the Christological principle: Luke 24:44--And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms...

    Any here hold to Mid Tribulation view, and could that be Church leaving when 2 Witnesses are raised back up?

    Okay, this is a better post. I'm happy to interact with it. There's an exegetical problem here. True, the two witnesses are "lampstands," and the churches in Rev. 2-3 have "lampstands," but the meaning is different. You are surely aware that one symbol does not always mean the same thing, even...

    The Christological Principle in Prophecy

    I won't have too much time to reply the rest of the week: grading, commencement, etc. However, I want to get this started. In prophetic interpretation there is something called the Christological principle. Here are a couple of scholars about that: Paul Lee Tan wrote in his irreplaceable book...

    Did Jesus cease being God's Son on the Cross?

    Well brother, you're asking about the one main city I never went to in Japan! My stomping grounds were elsewhere, Yokohama and then Hokkaido. But everyone says Kyoto is beautiful and there are tons of great places to visit there. So have a great time! And don't take any wooden 5 yen coins. ;)

    Seeking a Sound Baptist Seminary in the U.S. — and Possibly a Christian Home

    Here in the States we say linguistics rather than philology. I teach in this seminary: Baptist Theological Seminary - Doctrinal Precision. Revival Vision.. We have a number of international students; I just taught a two week block on Eschatology with nine students, five of them international...

    You Don't Need a Passport to Reach the Nations

    We recently learned that a group of Rohingya men have completed the NT into their language and are working on the OT. However, a couple of days ago two were arrested, probably just being persecuted just for being in that people group in that country. Satan hates the Bible and wants to stop its...

    You Don't Need a Passport to Reach the Nations

    I just taught a class which had 9 in it: a Canadian, one from a limited access country, a Chinese, a Japanese, a Peruvian, and four Americans!
