As a Dispensationalist I believe that Ezekiel 40-48 forms an incredibly important foundation for solidifying the future for Israel. Ezekiel paints a clear picture that the people of Israel will once again be restored to their former state in the future (Ezekiel 36-39) and with that the restoration of the Davidic Dynasty led by Christ himself. Also, the reestablishment of the temple (Ezekiel 40-48) and the return of the Lord and his Shekinah Glory (Ezekiel 43).
Below you will find my exegetical analysis of Acts 2:29-36. My exegesis is an attempt to explain why Peter, in his sermon, appealed to the Psalms to directly link Jesus to the Messiah.
Here is my exegetical analysis of one of the more complicated texts in scripture. I hope that it will encourage you to further pursue your studies and that it will help you grow in your knowledge of the Lord.
Come check out my new exegetical analysis of Matthew 24:1-51. It has been my attempt to provide a thorough exegetical look at the Olivet Discourse from a Dispensational Premillennial/Futuristic standpoint. As the Preteristic position has gained momentum, I believe it is important to put out scholarly responses to opposing positions. I hope that reading this will provide you with a serious challenge and will encourage you to continue your own studies on the subject.
Update: May 2023 – I have re-published the exegetical analysis that I completed back in 2020 with some slight modifications. The first modification I made pertains to the structure that I used for Matthew 24:3 and how Jesus proceeds to answer the questions that are asked. I followed the work of John Hart on the structure of Matthew 24 and his chiasm as seen in his book “Evidence for the Rapture.” I felt at the time his work was persuasive but after many discussions have since moved away from it. The approach I take in my revised work emphasizes what I believe is a stronger understanding of the text while also incorporating more information from Luke’s Gospel. The second modification pertains to the latter portion of Matthew 24, specifically vs.36-51. In following Hart’s work I had seen a pre-tribulational rapture after the peri de transition in Matthew 24:36. I have found this difficult to defend for a number of reasons, however, these reasons have led me to shift gears here and to see the coming parousia in vs.37 as the second coming and not the rapture. I have not abandoned the pre-tribulational rapture, but I have merely excluded it from the arguments in Matthew 24.
Here is a portion of my exegesis from my studies in Revelation. I believe that the proper and consistent way of interpreting Revelation 20 only comports with the Premillennial model, and will set out to prove that in my exegesis. If you disagree with my exegesis and interpretation feel free to leave me a comment below! God bless.
The purpose of this blog is to evaluate whether or not Jesus is presently reigning from the Davidic throne. As a Dispensationalist (Revisionist/Progressive) I take the approach that Jesus is not presently residing on the Davidic throne, but that he is presently residing at the Father’s Right Hand (which is not to be confused with Davidic throne).
