Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Consider the catastrophic destruction of the earth during the tribulation-with a two-thirds reduction in its population, where mountains and islands move and then disappear, when the earth shakes like a drunkard and the earth is burned with fire, split through, and the sea is no longer. It is no speculative reach that if the text did not say it, reality would demand that a new earth and heavens must be created before the glory of God comes in the kingdom of God.The elephant in the room remains for those who have retained Augustine's idea of heaven in the postmillennial spiritual eternal state. Few have ventured to point out this unbiblical development. Professors teach their notes from the last semester or the last generation as settled theology. Students rushing to graduate ignore their gnawing questions, and professors and pastors run out of time to deal with disquieting issues. Eschatology is always the last section.Add to this another Augustinian gaff, the confusion that he brings to the definition of the kingdom of God. The New Creation Before the Millennial Era offers simple solutions that are not nuanced and do not depend on the ancient church fathers or obscure texts with meanings foreign to textual accuracy.The objective of this book is to strengthen dispensational arguments about the messianic kingdom. It also entertains different manifestations of the kingdom-whether it is a kingdom in hearts, a kingdom in the universe, a kingdom now, or a kingdom that exists already. This book trades the better one-kingdom argument for the opinion where my kingdom is better than your kingdom. Then equally damaging is the hypnotic attachment to Revelation 20 as the complete guide to the messianic kingdom. While Revelation 20 gives very important developments in the first one-thousand years of the eternal kingdom, mostly about Satan, sin, and sinners, it says nothing about the glorious life in the kingdom. For information of the millennial kingdom the reader must selectively reach into what is often taken as the eternal state. But there is no reason to use the texts 'go back-and-forth augment' to remedy the oversight. With these two corrections made many obscure passages are laid open. Dispensationalism is the only school of thought that has a built-in theological correcting mechanism. Only the normal reading of the text if championed will improve its theology, in this case, dispensational eschatology.
