Dr. Alan Kurschner explains many reasons why he embraces Pre-Millennialism. He explains various views on the Millennium, and gives particular emphasis on the victory of Jesus and the binding of Satan.

This was Part 1 of 2 parts given at the Things to Come conference at Zion’s Hope last January.

I gave two talks on “Why I Am a Premillennialist.”

Dr. Alan Kurschner explained why Matthew 24:5 has not been fulfilled as preterists claim. This is a key prophecy from Jesus’ Olivet Discourse that is deeply problematic for preterist interpreters.

“For many (πολλοὶ) will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will mislead many” (Matt 24:5)

Preterists assume that there was a proliferation of messianic pretenders between the time of Christ and the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70.

In fact, the historical documentation reveals, mostly from Josephus, that there were only two messianic pretenders during this time. A far cry from “many” (πολλοὶ).

Listen and find out who they were.

Minnesota Bible Prophecy Conference – April 26

The post Preterism and Their Problem of ‘Many Messiahs’ in Matthew 24:5 appeared first on ESCHATOS MINISTRIES.

Dr. Alan Kurschner explained Jesus’s reply to his disciples’s question about the sign to his Second Parousia (i.e. coming) and the end of the age. Jesus warned that there would be false signs from false messianic claimants. Jesus—the Son of Man—described that his return will be unmistakable and universal, using poignant imagery and a proverb. In essence, Jesus was teaching that the sign would be himself in all his radiant and brilliant glory. The sign would be situated by the backdrop of the celestial disturbances darkening the luminaries to accentuate the glorious return. I concluded with a couple of contrasts that the second coming will have with the first coming. Listen to find out what those will be!

Janet Willis, the female “Randy Alcorn,” makes new arguments that the New Jerusalem, New Heavens, and New Earth will be established at the beginning of the millennium.

Willis also shows that John’s New Jerusalem and Ezekiel’s millennial city are identical, and much more in her What on Earth Is Heaven Like?: The New Creation and the New Jerusalem.

Dr. Alan Kurschner delivered an inductive study on the Davidic covenant, making a case that David’s throne is still in the future and will be fulfilled on earth. In this study, he critiqued the interpretive principle used by many Covenant Theology proponents who use “New Testament Priority” to reinterpret or transform the messages in the Old Testament. Listen to the program along with the PowerPoint presentation given below.

The post Why Jesus Will Sit on David’s Throne on EARTH in the FUTURE (Davidic Covenant) appeared first on ESCHATOS MINISTRIES.

Dr. Alan Kurschner talked about a new preterist view called “Satan’s Little Season.”

It is an amalgam of post-apocalyptic eschatology and Tartarian and Mud Flood conspiracy theories. This new breed of preterists believe that Jesus already physically returned to earth in AD 70 and the physical resurrection already occurred at that time, followed by the earthly millennial kingdom which was completed. So we are all now living during “Satan’s Little Season,” while Jesus and the saints are in the North Pole hidden away.

The church age is entirely over, and we are waiting for that final Gog-Magog battle of Rev 20:8, at which time we will be taken up to heaven where Jesus will destroy the entire world and then we will live in heaven forever. At least, that seems to be the main version of SLS.

Dr. Alan Kurschner first announced that he is speaking at Zion’s Hope this week in Florida. The link is below:

In this episode, he gave one of the most devastating arguments against amillennialism as they attempt to argue that “come to life” in Revelation 20:4 does not refer to the physical resurrection while maintaining that “come to life” in Revelation 20:5 does refer to it!

The post Amillennialism, Zaō (to Live), Revelation 20:4-5, and the Resurrection appeared first on ESCHATOS MINISTRIES.

Dr. Alan Kurschner critiqued the most common Amillennial argument in the book of Revelation using Greg Beale’s restated argument from William Hendricksen. Amillennialists believe that Revelation 20:1–6 recapitulates Revelation 12:7–11 as occurring during the interadvent period. Beale proposes seven parallels that he thinks make this argument (see the Table below). Dr. Kurschner critiques each supposed parallel one by one and demonstrates that not only are these not viable parallels, but they instead argue for progression.
