Last modified: Part 11 of this series Outline (Yep, another long one!) Introduction Having looked at some of the ways Pulliam tries to prime his reader to accept his claims about “Christ” and his “Kingdom” in Lessons 8 & 10, let’s see what he goes on to say about the nature of that Kingdom, his […]

Pulliam’s Views on Christ’s Kingdom, Part 1: Loading Key Terms
Last modified: Part 10 of this series In Lessons 10-15 of “In the Days of Those Kings”, Pulliam presents his own view on Christ’s Kingdom being in people’s hearts and never on Earth, and presents his own view on the Consummation (to use Ken Ham’s “7 C’s of History” terminology). Due to how much ground […]
Alex O’Connor On Animal Suffering: Ironically Reassuring
Date Modified: On the night of February 16th, 2025, I read my weekly email from Answers in Genesis, and one of the stories I clicked on was “Twenty-Five Christians vs. One Atheist: Our Response”. As you’re probably guessing from the title of this post, the 1 atheist was Alex O’Connor, who’d gone under my radar […]
Does the Bible Prophesy Any Future for Israel?
Last Modified: Outline (yep, this post is so long, I’m giving you shortcuts!): Introduction I’m no stranger to the ways that some people try to explain away all the clear statements in Scripture prophesying that Israelites would return to the land and worship at a third temple sometime after the second destruction of Jerusalem. But […]
Is Jesus Incapable of Ruling on Earth?
Last Modified: Part 4 of this series The titular question may sound trivial at first glance.

Yet Pulliam insists that it’s impossible for Jesus to reign on Earth: “there are reasons why […]
Musical Instruments in Christian Worship: Re-evaluating the Evidence
Last modified: This time, we’ll be taking a quick break from my series critiquing Bob Pulliam’s book “In the Days of Those Kings”. This issue has been weighing on my heart for at least a couple years, now, and I want to include a link to this post in my upcoming book (which I can’t […]
Is Jesus Reigning Now? And If So, To What Extent? Part 2: Attempted Rebuttals
Last modified: Part 3 of this series In Part 1 of my blog post on this topic, I laid out the position I hold regarding the titular questions, then exegeted it from Scripture. In this post, I’ll deal with the proof-texts Pulliam offers for the notion that Jesus’ reign is present to the fullest extent […]
“This” or “Here”? How the Apostles REALLY Handled Old Testament Prophecies
Part 1 of this series I’ve already typed several of the articles that will be part of my series critiquing the book “In the Days of Those Kings”, by Bob Pulliam. But I decided to lead off with this one because there have been so many occasions where people have, in my presence, used the […]
The Apocalyptically-Significant Attitudes of Nick Fuentes
Last Modified: This is admittedly a strange choice for my very first post on this blog. I won’t normally waste my time talking at length about political commentators, “influencers”, extremists, or conspiracy theorists, since there’s too many of them spouting too much idiocy for me to pick one to focus on. Besides, God has given […]
