Exegetical Eschatology
As a Calvinist, I do not get along with Hank Hanegraaff, president of the Christian Research Institute and host of the Bible Answer Man radio show. Also, like myself, his temper can get the best of him sometimes when he his debating someone–I think I see too much of me in him sometimes and I don’t like it–and he can be just down right rude. However, he has published a string of books lately that I have just loved. The first two in mind are The Last Disciple Series: The Last Disciple, The Last Sacrifice. These are his counter to the Left-Behind series that has been published in recent years. It is a fictional account of the fulfillment of the Olivet Discourse and Revelation in AD 70. If you don’t agree with that type of eschatology, you will still benefit much from reading these two books. He does an excellent job bringing to life what it was like to live as a Christian in the Roman Empire during Nero’s reign, especially after he went loony. I felt like I was reading Suetonius’ The Twelve Caesars all over again. The other book is his recently published book The Apocalypse Code: Find Out What the Bible Really Says About the End Times and Why It Matters Today. This is my review of the book. I am not going to focus on the specific arguments, but rather what he argues for in general.

The Holy City Go Boom!!
This is the second to last post in my series on the Olivet Discourse being fulfilled in the destruction of Jerusalem by General Titus in AD 70 and the case for partial preterism (a system of eschatology that I kind of subscribe to) based upon R.C. Sproul’s book The Last Days According to Jesus. In this post, I want to chronicle the destruction of Jerusalem and bring into the picture Flavius Josephus and that his account of its destruction is a large key to the preterist case for both Revelation and the Olivet Discourse referring to AD 70.
