As a person who’s been a dispensationalist my whole life and may be being converted right now, the dispensational speaker was pretty embarrassing. Not meaning to be disparaging but man, he just passed on multiple huge questions that he has to have an answer for. Even if it’s a bad answer, he had nothing. If you do this again, try and get someone for the MacArthur camp who could actually bring a cogent answer to some of these questions. Great discussion, learned a lot.
I have to tell you this is the singular best dialogue on eschatology I’ve ever heard. I am a partial preterist Historical Premillennialist, and I found this to be quite affirming of my understanding of the subject.
Can you tell me more about your view? In particular, can you give me a brief breakdown of how you interpret Revelation? I’ve been struggling with it for a while
@@ravikeller9626 It means that you interpret some prophecies to have multiple fulfilments. One is the preterist fulfilment that is that the prophecies were fullfilled with the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem and Titus being the "abomination of desolation" and second fullfilment in the future with the historic premillennialist view and the actual Antichrist being the "abomination of desolation".
Hey! Thank you for this. I need to offer a brief correction. At the 11 minute mark, the speaker says that John Piper takes Isaiah 65:20 to simply be a way of saying a person will never die. However, John Piper has a sermon from 7 years ago called "The Branch and Banner of David" in which he goes to great lengths to say that is *not* his view, and that he understands that verse to be about the Thousand-Year Reign. It's reachable on RU-vid if you'd like to verify.
In 40 years of inductive Bible study on the subject, I find it, encouraging to see how these scholarly teachers largely understand the end times the tribulation to have started in the first century and gone all the way through the church age all the way up until the second coming of Jesus.
I still want some clarity on why God would raise the dead only to kill them immediately and then raise them again to send them into Hell? Can you explain this? The question was asked around the 16:00 mark.
Exploring Theology Channel That guy doesnt know what he is talking about. The damned will only be raised at the white throne judgement to be sent to the lake of fire and the righteous that werent raptured will rise and go to heaven
That’s obviously not what he said. I don’t agree with his position at all, but he believes it’s theoretically possible to sin (posse pecare) but the Lord by his grace will keep the glorified believer from doing so
