FROM A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE

Hey Susan,

Thanks for the link. But when you post a news item, it would be best if you could briefly tell folks what it is about, and why you thought might be of interest.

I checked out the link, and certainly is a lot there that would be excellent grist for our mill here. Here are the links to the articles in the newsletter:

1. Where is the United States in Prophecy?
2. Israel- God's Timepiece
3. A Revived Roman Empire?
4. The Gog/Magog War
5. Apostate Christianity
6. The Rise of Islam
7. Increase in Knowledge/New Technologies
8. Christian Worldviews/Issues
9. Other World Events To Watch

Here's my take on those issues:

1. Nowhere.
2. Yep, and it rang Midnight in 70 AD and promptly exploded into ten million pieces. The current secular political entity in Palestine is not a continuation of the Biblical nation of Israel.
3. Absurd. Futurists require a revived Roman empire to redestroy a rebuilt Temple to refulfill the prophecies that God fulfilled in 70 AD.
4. Nobody really knows the meaning of the Gog/Magog stuff. All the speculation has so far been proven false. The USSR doesn't even exist anymore!
5. Yeah ... they make some good points in this part.
6. More good points.
7. True, but they build too much from a very small verse without any other verse to confirm their interpretation. That's not good hermeneutics.
