So, on Sunday last week, while over for dinner, my father told me his cancer was back. Prostate, that he had treated 13 years ago. He shared that the survival rate was 13 years so it was kind of expected that it would return. I was told it was very treatable, and it was caught…

Futurism: Seven Years and Other Thoughts
Folks, the short version is this: the phrase “seven years” is never mentioned in the New Testament. Not ever. Never once. But somehow, it’s a doctrine in the minds of most modern evangelicals.

Yep. It’s about unanimous that my immediate family (and a few others) are unsupportive of me. Somehow, I’m expected to be miserable for the rest of my life and must continue to pine over my deceased wife until I too wind up in the grave. I’ve gone from irritated to just plain done with the…

Tomorrow is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week. Tomorrow is when the Church commemorates Jesus’ triumphant procession into the city of Jerusalem. If you recall, a few short days later, the same crowds that welcomed him went from shouting “Hosannah” to “Crucify Him”. “We have no king but Ceasar.” In like manner, crowds of…

This is blog post is the second concerning Moses, Elijah, and Scofield’s Premillennial Dispensationalism. Bases on previous notes written by Scofield, it appears that his eschatological scheme involves Moses and Elijah—yep, the same guys mentioned prominently in the Old Testament—will again walk planet earth so that they can be killed in Jerusalem; yes, the city…
