Partial preterists differ from full preterists in that they do not say everything in the Bible has already been fulfilled. They typically hold that Armageddon was fulfilled in AD 70, but also maintain that the final resurrection and final judgment are still future. This video is the first in a series explaining the partial preterist […]
The New Testament’s treatment of food sacrificed to idols appears, at first glance, to be inconsistent. In 1 Corinthians chapter 8, the apostle Paul permits eating such food under certain conditions, while in chapter 2 of the Book of Revelation it is sharply condemned.

The New Testament presents a rich set of images to describe the people of God: a mother, a city, a bride, a nation, and even a persecuted woman. At first glance, these images—especially Paul’s “Jerusalem above” (Galatians 4:26), the “heavenly Jerusalem” (Hebrews 12:22), the “New Jerusalem” (Revelation 21:2), and the woman of Revelation 12—can appear […]
