Dispensationalism • Calvinism • Presuppositionalism
The dating of the book of Revelation is often a point of contention within evangelical Christian circles. When one begins to enter the arena of eschatology (study of end-times) they are often faced with the question surrounding the dating of this book. In my many years of study, I have found the only viable position to stand on, is that of the Domitianic Dating.

I would like to take this opportunity to respond to Gentry’s claims that he published on his Facebook wall today:
Continue reading “Response to Kenneth Gentry – “The Date of Revelation and the Temple””Let me start by saying that I believe this is an incredibly important topic that requires clarity in this day and age. As I peruse social media I see memes and mockeries directed at Premillennialists attempting to dismiss the sound biblical position by poking fun at it. It seems that many are developing a sort of theology based around quick baseless assertions and relying on what they are hearing from secondary sources, rather than from the authors of the positions. I hope that this post will provide clarity for those who are seriously interested in studying this topic.
Continue reading “Premillennialism – The Biblical Paradigm”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).
Continue reading “The Apocalypse of John – An Exegetical Analysis of Revelation 1-22”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).
Continue reading “The Millennial Temple – An Exegetical Analysis of Ezekiel 40-48”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.
Continue reading “Daniel’s 70 Weeks – An Exegetical Analysis of Daniel 9:24-27”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.
