Thank you BX. In my upcoming book, The Bible Storyline, I will be addressing the differing senses of Seed of Abraham. This video link also states why I think Dispensationalism has the most accurate understanding of the Seed of Abraham concept:
@_jonbowlin Jon, there are scholarly discussions on this passage and related ones, from @mikevlach and other Dispensationalist. Here's one from @petergoeman_ . I hope you will take a look. https://t.co/CUn3ZdI1tS

Theology 101: Three facts about Danielās 70th week and eschatologyā 1) Understanding the 70th week as detached from the 69 and yet future is actually the oldest interpretation among Christian readers. 2) It does not have to be future for futurists to have a 7-year tribulation, as

Theology 201: Resting your eschatology on a disjunction between Revelation 19 and 20 is exegetically problematic to say the least. They are one single, progressive vision, and the return of Christ as judge precedesāit does not followāthe 1000 years. https://t.co/CVrXhPbjiN

Jesus currently possesses all authority and will exercise that authority over the earth and nations at His second coming.

In this age between His two comings Jesus operates primarily as Priest. At His return He will operate primarily as King! When He reigns it will be awesome, and everyone will know it (Zech 14).

Theology 101: Nobody in the first century familiar with Enochian literatureāand that was pretty much most Jews and Christiansāwould have interpreted the binding of Satan in the abyss of Rev 20:1-3 as anything other than total removal from the world, not partial restraining

Because the Bible teaches a reign of Jesus over every inch of earth. He transforms fallen creation. And we are not Gnostics.
@Exodus15_11 Jesus said my Kingdom is not of this world. Why do you deny this and try to make a worldly kingdom?

Yes. The bulk of this study for the book was done between 1999 and 2004 when the theological climate was much different and better. Hatred of Israel and Dispensationalism has grown a LOT since then. The arguments for Replacement Theology are also more childish and emotional today
@mikevlach @DineshDSouza Iām reading it now, Mike and itās great! When I read at the end of one chapter that you didnāt see supersessionism gaining ground again in the future I had to flip back and look at the publish date. Would you state that differently if the book were published today?

There will be a study guide following this book in about 2 months. Perfect for group studies.
@mikevlach Wow, this looks great. Might use this for high school Bible class at homeschool co-op.

Yes. Itās the New Creation Model applied from Genesis 1 through Revelation 22. The NCM in action.
@mikevlach š I already know this is going to be good. @mikevlach would you say this is a more macro view than the New Creation Model?

Thank you!
@chris_jolliff @mikevlach I took some men from our church through this. Excellent intro to eschatological issues and thinking. @mikevlach is top notch!

Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Having just completed this eschatology course with my family, I wanted to recommend it one last time. Thank you @mikevlach for putting this together and serving as an interim professor at the Jolliff Institute for Advanced Biblical Studies (where the learning never stops).

Centuries after Joshua in Jeremiah 16:15: ābut, āAs the Lord lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of the north and from all the countries where He had banished them.ā For I will restore them to their own land which I gave to their fathers.ā
@mikevlach Joshua 21: 44......,the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand. 45There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.

Supersessionists misunderstand both Galatians 3:16 and 3:29, giving significances that are not accurate.
Galatians 3:16 is unarguably the most misinterpreted New Testament verse as it relates to Israel. Replacement Theology claims it means that God never spoke about Abrahamās literal, physical, bloodline descendants. God only ever meant the singular seed (Messiah)ānever the plural,

Them: āThose crazy dispies are at it again predicting the rapture!ā Me at the most prominent dispensational seminary, with 2600+ students, going about my business, teaching classic Irenaean premillennial eschatology, with literally nobody here believing the rapture is today:

This is a new one. Confusing a theological system with the Military Industrial Complex.
@testing521 there is no peace with dispensationalism. Dispensationalism wants zoomers saved to be sent to forever wars as sacrificial lambs so they can get a rapture reward.

The biggest theological influences on Charlie Kirk were dispensationalistsāJack Hibbs and Rob McCoy. Hibbs in particular teamed with Kirk for massive get out the vote efforts. Hibbs and his church impacted the midterms in 2022.
You canāt watch Charlie Kirkās funeral and hold the dispensational view that society will only get worse. Itās not going to get worse; itās going to get better. To God be the glory.
