Dispensationalism • Calvinism • Presuppositionalism
This is a common proof-text used by Covenantalists/New Covenant Theologians/Progressive Covenantalists to teach that that the Kingdom of God was taken away from the nation of Israel and given to the church or the Gentiles, but is that really what the text teaches? Let’s assess the context to determine whether that assessment is accurate.
Contrasting Views of the Kingdom in Biblical Theology with Evaluation

Cory Marsh, Associate Professor of New Testament at Southern California Seminary is being highlighted on our featured blog today.
Cory has graciously allowed me to share his article titled: “Kingdom Hermeneutic and the Apocalpyse – A Promotion of a Consistent Literal Methodology.” which was posted in the Baptist Bulletin. Cory shared this article in a Facebook group that we both belong to and said the following regarding the article:
“It was nice to see Baptist Bulletin recognize some value in this article I wrote several years ago on the importance of a consistent hermeneutic for the Book of Revelation, and the dispensationalism to which such an approach inevitably leads. They were kind enough to secure the rights and re-publish it at a more accessible level. It’s attached for those who are interested.“
My hope is to help others see the importance, like Cory, of a consistent literal methodology when it comes to interpreting all of Scripture.
