Jesus said his coming in judgment would be "in the glory of the father" (Matthew 16:27-28). Just what did "in the glory of the Father" mean? Amazingly few commentators take careful note of this important statement, but, the full implications of what it means are staggering! It means that Jesus' coming in judgment was going to be a coming as the Father had come before. And make no mistake, the Father had come many times, but, He had never come bodily, visibly, literally. He had always manifested His sovereignty by utilizing one nation to destroy another nation. Thus, for Jesus to say he was ...

There is an increasing awareness in Evangelical Christianity of the tremendous redemptive-eschatological significance of the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70. That event is no longer being seen as simply the destruction of the Jewish capital. It is becoming more and more clear that the fall of that city had tremendous spiritual importance. In spite of this growing awareness and appreciation of the events of AD 70, it is increasingly common, especially in the Amillennial and Postmillennial world, to claim that the end of the age judgment in AD 70 was a type of the real “end of the world.” This...

The Millennium is one of the most controversial of all Biblical doctrines. It is assumed by most Christians that there is a degree of Christian unity about this doctrine, but, nothing could be further from the truth! Some say we are in the millennium, some say it is yet future. A growing number of Christians believe the millennium is past, and that the enigmatic term refers to the time between Jesus' ministry and the end of the Old Covenant age in AD 70. There is not another book like this anywhere. This changes everything!

In his prediction of the impending destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem, Jesus said "This Gospel of the kingdom must be preached into all the world, then comes the end." Wait! The fall of Jerusalem and that awesome Temple was "the gospel"? It was "the good news".... of the Kingdom? How could this possibly be true? In this ground breaking new book, prolific author Don K. Preston (D. Div.) explores this seldom discussed - seldom considered!- question and walks the reader through a fascinating and important Biblical journey of the last days and the importance of that Jerusalem temple. There...

The eschatological resurrection is posited as the solution to the "Death of Adam" i.e. the Death that came into the world the very day that Adam sinned. So, what was that death? The majority of believers say it was physical death. But, there is a massive and fatal problem here. God said "In the day that you eat...you shall surely die." Did Adam die physically the very day he sinned? Clearly not! So, did God lie? Was God unable to carry through with the threat? No, Adam and Eve did die, and they died the very day they ate the forbidden fruit. How so? They died spiritually, by losing the ...

The Jerusalem temple was the focal point of the celebration of the seven feast days of the Lord. Those feast days, overseen by the Levitical priesthood, were a foundational part of the Law of Moses. The feast days were to be celebrated as long as the Law of Moses was in effect. All agree that the first four feast days were prophetic foreshadows of the ministry of Christ, his passion and resurrection. All agree that the final three feast days foreshadowed the coming kingdom, Judgment, Day of the Lord, Resurrection and the New Creation. The first four of the feast days were fulfilled while ...

Most Christians today believe that God's promise to establish the New Covenant (Jeremiah 31) has been fulfilled in the Gospel of Christ. It is a shock to learn that the Dispensational world denies this, and says the Jeremiad Covenant will not be established until the Second Coming of Christ, at the end of the Christian age! In this carefully reasoned and powerful new book, prolific author Don K. Preston (D. Div.) demonstrates the dangers of such a view, and with careful logic and exegesis shows that the Gospel is now, and will always be, the one covenant, the only covenant wherein salvation...

In Daniel 9:24 the Lord said that Seventy Weeks were determined to seal up vision and prophecy. This term "seal vision and prophecy" is tremendously significant. It means that seventy weeks were assigned by God for the fulfillment of all prophecy! In this second edition of this book, prolific author Don K. Preston establishes several key facts: 1.) Daniel 9 is concerned with Israel and the fulfillment of her promises-- not the end of time, or the end of the Christian age. 2.) Daniel 9 does in fact predict the time of the fulfillment of all prophecy. 3.) Daniel 9 posits the end of the ...
