Jonah Goldberg in his latest Dispatch as usual brilliant. This one on antisemitism "Get with the Pogrom." Absolutely roasts Steven Crowder and Milo Yiannopoulos.

To those who view premillennial dispensationalism as a negative and speculative theology - I would only ask this: the disps of the early 19th Century predicted:
1. The Jews would return to the land in unbelief
2. The world would increase in evil
How's your eschatology going?

Me: The Lord is coming
Preterist: He already did

Preterist: AD 70
Me: Where is He now?
Preterist: In heaven
Me: When did He go back?
Preterist: He didn't - He never literally left
Me: 🫥
Preterist: the problem is you are a literalist and a futurist

You will not win a homosexual or transgender person to Christ by preaching against these things but by preaching Christ. I wasn't converted from drugs and occultism because I heard a sermon about these evils but because I discovered Jesus loved me and died for me.

The majority of those who attack the doctrine of J. N. Darby have never actually read anything he has written. It is good to critique and be a Berean, but at least read the guy your are attacking. “Does our law judge a man before it hears him ?” Nicodemus.

1. The olive tree is not Christ.

3. The Church is not the subject

3. "All Israel" is not the church in v. 26

The Postmillennial world view is entirely absent from the New Testament. The whole atmosphere is Premillennial from beginning to end. Distorting a few verses does not establish Postmillennialism but rather exposes its lack of explanatory power throughout the entire OT and NT.

John Mark had fled the mission field & Paul had lost confidence in him (Acts 13:13; 15:37). In the closing of Paul's ministry Mark was profitable (useful) to him and a comfort to him (2 Tim 4:11; Col. 4:10-11). People change and grow. Keep that in mind. He wrote a Gospel too.

People are tweeting: "Jesus didn't say anything about same-sex marrige" (assuming He is ok with it). But He didn't say anything about it because such a thing does not exist. Christ said A LOT about marriage and always it's a man and a woman.

If a premillennial understanding of the Bible, and a futurist view of the Book of Revelation are errors, then God has deceived us. Why? Because that's how the Bible appears when read. If otherwise then God is saying one thing but has a hidden and different message than appears.

Do really think Christ is exercising His kingdom power in the world today? When He does He will rule with an iron scepter and the glory of the Lord will cover the earth, no enemy would dare raise its head, war would cease. It is an insult to His glory to say we are seeing it now.

Just a friendly reminder that the “man of lawlessness” in 2 Thess 2 was not fulfilled by Caesar (either Caligula or Nero). No doubt the western despots both ancient and more modern prefigure him. But make no mistake, he is still on the horizon and will appear and deceive many.

"Those who try to destroy the Jews run right into God ... and they will get more than they bargained for .... God will assemble the nations to Israel and they will become road kill for the birds." - John MacArthur
John MacArthur is one of the few pastors I know who have clearly articulated a biblical response concerning Israel, addressing the current war and why the world increasingly hates the Jewish people. If you’re ready to address the issue, here is the model.

Are not the children of believers “holy” or sanctified and even if only one parent is a believer? It cannot mean that by this they are saved - obviously. But are they not in a special sphere and set apart by God in a way that children in godless homes are not? 1 Cor. 7:13-14

Dispensationalists are the true covenenalists odd as that may sound. Reforned covenantalism invents conventants which do not literally exist and skews actual covenants through allegoricaization. The dispensationalist avoids these faults by adhering to the literal Word.

Romans 9:6 - For they are not all Israel who are of Israel.
People read more into this than it says. It simply means historically not all Israelites had been believers - the true Israel of God were those among them who had been saved by God's grace. Gentiles are not in view here.

Some Christians are in practical terms, under a John the Baptist ministry. They've repented and believe that Jesus is the Messiah. But they are still under the law, not seeing they've died to it and do not have deliverance by the Spirit, or know their position in Christ.

For a minister of the gospel you're speaking in irresponsibly. I'm not trolling - consider your ways & words. Tell the overwhelmed & overwrought medical teams in Italy if its mindless panic. A little empathy and wisdom goes a long way in the gospel. Pray that it does end quickly.

Sometimes they make fun of (or denounce) dispensationalism because it holds to "gaps." But it is evident there is a large gap between the first and second coming of Christ and there are times both comings are predicted in one prophecy. So what's the problem?

Adam and Eve sinned when they were set over creation
Israel sinned immediately upon receiving the Law
Ndab and Abihu sinned on the day of their inauguration
Solomon ruined the kingdom by disobedience
Then why would we think a Christian government would be any different?

The brother translating for me here at the conference in Germany has written a 500 page book on Dispensationalism. It is being translated into English. It is unique I believe because it takes a classical disp view of the early Brethren but written for the modern reader.

No. What Christ said was - it was not for them to know the “times and seasons” of the kingdom promised to Israel - that knowledge was in the Father’s counsels. Meanwhile He was about to do something absolutely new. A divine Person was coming to earth in lieu of Christ’s presence.
“Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” (Acts 1:6)
They still didn’t understand.
Jesus told them it was “at hand”(Mk 1:15) and it “has come upon you”(Mt 12:28).
The “Israel of God”(Gal 6:16) is the Church. Both Jew and Gentile.

It’s ok to hammer away at eschatology on this site (as long as it is respectful and without reviling). Who knows - some preterist or Postmillennialist may be brought to the light (in the matter of premillennial truth). So we continue.

I sometimes hear fellow disps saying that the NT does not interpret the OT. I believe this is not entirely accurate. Scripture interprets Scripture. Period. It is better to say: the NT does not REINTEPRET the OT. It does not transform its primary meaning into something else.

With eschatology I have a high degree of confidence in the following views:

2. A literalist futurist view of prophecies related to the nation of Israel and second coming of Christ
3. The 70th week of Daniel remains to be fulfilled

I've been saved 50 years and have noticed two gradual shifts which are now full-blown:
1. A move away from Christ centered ministry to a crisis centered ministry -- a focus on problems and man rather than on Christ
2. The gospel replaced by politics (even in its terminology)

Yo - we don’t believe in the pre-tribulation rapture because we want to escape trial or tribulation. This is a canard. The Great Tribulation is the wrath of God not just ramped up persecution. It’s actually about Israel, the “time of Jacob’s trouble.” God dealing with His people
