I've been watching youtubes of this "September 23" "Rapture Puzzle" stuff, and I realized that I don't really know how to examine their claims at all. Is there an objective source, like a book, or something, that explains biblical prophecy well? I have almost entirely neglected this aspect of my religion and I'd like to catch up. You know, before the 23rd when the rapture happens

Although I haven't read it, I would imagine that Dee Dee's Book "It's Not The End Of The World" should be a good explanation of the Orthodox Preterist view.

Reviews at Amazon.com complain about the archaic writing style ― it was published in 1898; however, it was most helpful to me decades ago when I was seeking to understand biblical eschatology: Biblical Apocalyptics: A Study of the Most Notable Revelations of God and of Christ, by Milton S.

You might consider Things To Come, by J. Dwight Pentecost.. . . the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; . . . -- Romans 1:16 KJV
. . . that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: . . . -- 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV

Thank you! I'll look into these, hopefully some of them are on Audible"Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins.

Steve Gregg's "Revelation: Four Views" is an asset; it's a Parallel Commentary that covers the Big Four (Historicism, Futurism, Preterism, and Idealism), and I think he does a fair job of presenting each view.Have You Touched Grass Today? If Not, Please Do.Comment

I agree it's an asset! I own a copy myself, and even though I'm a big reader, I found it hard to just sit down and read.Originally posted by Chaotic Void View Post"What has the Church gained if it is popular, but there is no conviction, no repentance, no power?" - A.W. Tozer

I found Steve Gregg independently, having forgotten about your recommendation, about a month ago on Youtube. His lectures have helped me on eschatology and loads of other things. I had never heard him before, but man, his lectures are fantastic, and they got me out of a really dark time.Originally posted by Chaotic Void View Post"Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins.

I'll have to look for those...I've never heard him lecture. I knew he wrote the book to be used as a Textbook for his class IIRC.Originally posted by hamster View Post"What has the Church gained if it is popular, but there is no conviction, no repentance, no power?" - A.W. Tozer

I've read his autobiography Avatar of Night, but that's it. He's a very good writer.Originally posted by arnoldo View PostEnter the Church and wash away your sins.
