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 […]
In the Days of … WHICH Kings? Part 2: Identifying the Antichrist (Mostly)
Last Modified: Part 9 of this series I suspect you’re curious about that word “Mostly”. As many details as I bring out about the Antichrist here, you’ll see that there’s one I actually can’t pin down. Having gone over many of the things that Pulliam overlooked in the prophecies of Daniel 2 & 7-12 in […]
In the Days of … WHICH Kings? Part 1: Points Pulliam Glossed Over
Last Modified: Part 8 of this series Introduction I think it’s a good time to address the main Title of Pulliam’s book: “In the Days of Those Kings” (also the title of Lesson 17 therein). The title is a reference to Daniel 2:44 – “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will […]
The Time Gap of Daniel 9:24-27
Part 7 of this series I’m giving you a short entry this time (a little over 2,600 words) so I can finally buckle down on the proposal for my upcoming book. I also have some things to say about Pulliam’s views on Christ’s Kingdom and our eternal destiny, and I suspect I’ll move the posts […]
The Manifestation Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Which In His Own Times He Will Disclose
Last Modified: All Part of Satan’s Plan I’ll grant that this article deals with a tense subject, given how many date-setters for Christ’s return have already been and gone with nothing to show for it but disappointment and mockery in the best cases and suicides {Facebook post; the article cited by the source where I […]
The Eternal Purpose Which He Carried Out
Part 6 of this series I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: God has a way of letting me know what questions to focus on when. I wasn’t expecting this post to so effectively wind up doubling as a Passover/Easter special, yet here we are! It’s time to discuss what is perhaps Pulliam’s […]
Things Which Must Occur Swiftly … for the Occasion is At Hand
Last Modified: Part 5 of this series Sorry for the long wait, but at least you got some extra time to work your way through my longest post yet! Plus, I got to fly out to meet my new nephew and play with his older brother last weekend! So now that I’ve recuperated from that […]
Is Jesus Incapable of Ruling on Earth?
Last Modified: Part 4 of this series The titular question may sound trivial at first glance. Of course he’s capable (i.e., not incapable) of ruling over anyone or anything, from anywhere, as long as his Father wills it, right? Yet Pulliam insists that it’s impossible for Jesus to reign on Earth: “there are reasons why […]
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 […]
