When we compare Apostle Paul's sequencing of these three events with the sequence found in Matthew 24, there seems to be an inconsistency. See if you can spot the problem and tune in to see how we resolve it. If you wish to have the PDF lesson outline and Chronological chart that are available for…
There were many clear signs of the end which appeared with increasing frequency, beginning right here in AD 62. There were some severe earthquakes that occurred in the winter of AD 63, right after John had written his Apocalypse. The birth pangs were becoming more frequent and more intense as the months passed by. The…
This deals with the evidence for determining the early pre-70 date of the book of Revelation. We date the book in relation to a number of factors, including internal and external considerations. We arrive at a date in the second half of AD 62, before Hebrews and 2nd Peter were written. There is a PDF…
The year AD 62 was a very action-packed year for Christians in Jerusalem especially. Josephus tells us that Ananus II took advantage of the temporary lack of a procurator to arrest James (the Lord's brother) and some of his companions there in Jerusalem, one of which was probably Apostle John. James was killed, and evidently…
We cover several of the Jewish and Roman historical events of significance to Christianity that were occurring while Paul was in prison in Rome. We also discuss which books of the NT were written at this time (1,2,3 John plus Ephesians and Colossians). There is a PDF lesson outline available for this podcast. Send an…
This is a replay of my seminar speech at the Garrettsville 2011 seminar on the topic of the Resurrection. We discuss the various major concepts of resurrection within Full Preterism, and then show why we believe the Individual Body View is the biblically correct one. If you are interested in the preterist explanation of the…
We look at some of the other Jewish and Christian events that occurred while Paul was on his way to Rome, or just after he arrived there. The writing of the gospel of John most likely occurred here, along with the epistle of James, and the three epistles of John. We also look at the…
We cover the events mentioned in Acts 27-28, from the last few months of Paul's imprisonment in Caesarea, until he was sent to Rome by Festus the Roman Governor (or Procurator). We discuss the whole voyage, especially the shipwreck on the island of Malta. There is a PDF lesson outline available for this podcast. Send…
In book three of the Ecclesiastical History of Eusebius, he tells the story of the two grandsons of Jude (the brother of Jesus) who were arrested and brought before the Roman court to investigate their aspirations to the Davidic throne in Jerusalem. There are some historical problems associated with this story, which we explore and…
It is pretty clear from reading Paul's epistles to the Thessalonians (written in AD 51) that Paul was familiar with the Gospel of Matthew. There are over a dozen strong similarities and allusions to the material found in Matthew 23-25, too much in fact to explain away as coincidence. We also look at some possible…
