Since the book of Revelation indicates that Satan was cast into the Lake of Fire at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, most preterists assume that Satan is no longer a factor in our lives after AD 70. However, that may not be a safe assumption. We look at this issue from the perspective of cosmology (the relationship between the SEEN realm and the UNSEEN realm). There is a PDF lesson outline available for this podcast. Email us if you would like to have a copy of it: "Satan Influence Today" on 4/17/2011. Please request it by title and date.

How was "ALL ISRAEL" saved at the Parousia…
Romans – Meaning of Creation
One well-known preterist leader who holds the Collective Body View recently taught that the word "creation" as used in Eph 2:10 and Rom 1:20 is referring to Old Testament Israel. That idea is very similar to the Covenant Creationist view, which he says he does not agree with. We examine the context of Rom 1:20…
Hebrews Corrects Barnabas
We look a little more at the activity of Mark in relation to Paul and the book of Hebrews, and especially his role in helping Paul write the book of Hebrews as a correction to the anti-Judaic polemic and hyper-allegorical interpretative methods exhibited in the Epistle of Barnabas.
