As we work our way through Daniel’s prophecy of the Seventy Weeks, we come now to the main point of debate with dispensationalists. When is the seventieth week, and what is its point?The Messiah now experiences something “after the sixty-two weeks” (Da 9:26), which follow the preceding “seven weeks”...
Despite its popularity, Daniel 9:24–27 is little understood by most populist prophetic “experts.” And because of those “experts” misleading their enthusiastic followers, too many within the evangelical church today totally misunderstand what the Seventy Weeks prophecy is all about. In our last study, I noted that dispensationalist writers see...

The following ad copy appeared in World magazine for Joel C. Rosenberg’s new book Implosion: Is America an Empire in Decline or a Nation Poised for a Historic Renaissance? This ad copy startled me. I’ve read most of Rosenberg’s books and debated him on the meaning of Ezekiel 38...

Unfortunately, it creates great difficulties for the system, one of which is its important role in dispensationalism. The chronology Daniel provides in his prophecy of the Seventy Weeks...
I was recently interviewed on the Atlanta Alive television program about my book Last Days Madness and Bible prophecy. You can see the interview above in the embedded video. WorldNetDaily goes a great job in directing readers to articles and topics that show where America has gone wrong. In...
After the interview with the Atlanta Live television program, each guest was invited to come together for a panel discussion about our differing views on Bible prophecy, the cultural implications, as well as what we have in common.
