    Why I am NOT a Dispensationalist - Conclusion

    This blog is the conclusion to my discussion on dispensationalism and why I believe it employs a faulty hermeneutic and thus comes to a number of faulty conclusions. I do not intend to revisit any of these kinds of things here. My purpose in this last blog is to answer a simple question -- what do we do with dispensationalists? Or to put it differently, what do we do with people who disagree with us regarding the end times? Let me assure you of something, then share my person

    Revelation 11 Says What?

    Last Sunday we dealt with a complex passage (Listen or Watch). Revelation 10:1-11:14 is not easy. I want to make sure we all understand these verses before we move into Revelation 12 this coming Sunday. This blog will provide some deeper exegesis and hopefully a clear explanation and application of those verses. I think chapter 10 is relatively clear. Chapter 11 is where a lot of the confusion sets in. I will focus my attention there. Context The seals (6-7) and the trumpets

    Why I am NOT a Dispensationalist - part 6

    This is blog number six in the series on why I am not a dispensationalist. In short, as I hope has become clear, I believe dispensationalism to be based upon an inadequate hermeneutic which leads to unbiblical theological conclusions. In my previous blogs, I outlined why a dispensational hermeneutic and the dispensational view of Israel and the Church as two separate people of God are both in error. In my last blog, I explored the implications of moving away from these two di

    Why I am NOT a Dispensationalist - part 5

    Let me remind you of where we have come now that we are 5 blogs into this series. In my previous blogs, I outlined why a dispensational hermeneutic (point 1), the dispensationalist view of Israel and the Church as two separate people of God (point 2-3, 6) and the place ethnic Israel is given in God’s eschatological program (point 5) are all in error. In this blog, I want to explore the implications of moving away from dispensationalism and its core values. It is not easy to l

    Why I am NOT a Dispensationalist, part 4

    In my last two blogs, using Christ’s Prophetic Plans as my guide, I outlined why a dispensational hermeneutic (point 1) and why a dispensationalist belief in a hard distinction between Israel and the church (points 2, 3, 6) are in error. In this article, I will show that the dispensationalist view of the restoration of ethnic/national Israel (point 5) is also in error. Before we get too far I want to remind you, once again, that there are several different flavours of dispens

    Why I Am NOT a Dispensationalist, part 3

    In my last blog, I outlined why a dispensational hermeneutic is in error. In this article, I will show that the dispensationalist view of Israel and the church (point 2-3, 6) as two separate peoples of God is also in error. As stated before I will be using Christ’s Prophetic Plans as my primary, but not only, source for dispensational arguments as it is a popular and easily accessible text written by the faculty of The Master’s Seminary and edited by John MacArthur.

    Why I am NOT a Dispensationalist, part 2

    In my last blog, I left you hanging. I stated, quite boldly, that I am not a dispensationalist but did not give any reasons as to why. This blog and the next 3 or 4 will outline those reasons. As a covenant theologian and non-dispensationalist, there are a few beliefs that I do not hold which have become somewhat mainstream in North American Evangelicalism. For example, I do not believe that God has two peoples with two distinct covenantal relationships with him such that the

    Why I Am NOT a Dispensationalist, Part 1

    We have begun a sermon series on Revelation which will last until mid-June. We are only into chapter 2, but I’m sure it has already become evident that my understanding of eschatology (end times) and my reading of Revelation is not the typical reading that we are bombarded with in mainstream Evangelicalism. Most of us are used to hearing about the end times from the mouths or pens of people like David Jeremiah (Agents of the Apocalypse; Is This the End?); John Hagee (Earth’s
