Dispensationalism • Calvinism • Presuppositionalism
Here is my exegetical analysis of 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17 which will demonstrate the validity of the Dispensational/Premillennial perspective articulated by Paul.
UPDATE: Please see my revised exegetical analysis of 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17, which I go more into depth in some areas, and update (vs.3) to what I believe is a more biblically grounded position. My prayer is that this will be a blessing to you.
It is common to see Romans 4:13 used as a proof text to negate the land promises that were made in the Old Testament to Israel. It is my intention here to show that these promises were not altered, universalized, spiritualized into something new by Paul, but rather that Paul is merely connecting what was promised to Abraham initially in the covenant.

It is my hope to demonstrate the future plan of God regarding ethnic Israel, and that God has not and will not forget about them. Ethnic Israel still has a future in God’s decree, and this passage breaks down that plan.

I have yet to find the argument appealing or convincing. Here is my exegetical analysis of 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 demonstrating the compatibility of our position with the text.

As a Calvinist I have seen many of my brothers and sisters try to avoid the consequences of this passage to uphold the biblical doctrine of perseverance. With that said, they often minimize the seriousness of apostasy. It is my belief that the author of Hebrews narrows in on this serious topic to talk about those who have failed to grow in their walk and could potentially fall back into old practices. This isn’t a text that ought to be used to argue that believers can lose their salvation, nor does it undermine perseverance of the saints. Rather, it upholds the seriousness of actively remaining obedient to the Law of Christ.

“God is not slow about his promise to save you, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you (unbelievers), not wishing that any of you (unbelievers) perish, but that all (unbelievers) come to repentance.”
Here is my revised exegetical analysis of Revelation 1-22. My exegetical analysis is a clear defence of the “Dispensational Futuristic Premillennial” stance. I have attempted to address some of the contention that the Idealists, Historicists, and Preterist’s have mentioned (though it may not be completely exhaustive).

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).
