Preterist Scholar Inadvertently Supports the Pre-Mil View of Daniel’s 70 Weeks

  Here is a very interesting quote from “Modern Preterist” Samuel Lee (1783-1852), which shows that Preterists have not always historically held the view which places Christ’s crucifixion in the midst of Daniel’s 70th week.  Lee assures the reader that the “cutting off” of the Messiah occurred at the end of the sixty-ninth week.  But his interpretation places…

Rev. E.W. Bullinger, D.D.– The Sieges of Jerusalem

   The first occurrence of the name “Jerusalem”, as a city, is in Judges 1:8, and confirms the fact that the first occurrence contains an epitome of its subsequent history.    The history of the city has been a record of its sieges.

“This Generation”–The Gateway To Hymeneusville

  Despite the wide proliferation of heresies on the internet, the children of God may still protect themselves with the sword of truth.  Yes, I thank the Lord that the Bible is still effective in combating false views and erroneous systems of doctrine.     Perhaps one of the most vocal heresies of today is that…

J.C. Ryle- The Chief Articles of My Prophetical Creed

(1867)    I.  I believe that the world will never be completely converted to Christianity by any existing agency, before the end comes.  In spite of all that can be done by ministers, churches, schools and missions, the wheat and tares will grow together until the harvest; and when the end comes, it will find the…
