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 […]

“This Generation” in the Great Temple & Olivet Discourses
Last modified: I know I haven’t given you anything new in about a month-and-a-half, so I might as well let you know I’m still here (just working on 4 highly-interconnected posts in my critique series) and more thoroughly explain something I just explained quickly in another post. I mentioned what the phrase “this generation” meant […]
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 […]
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. 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 […]
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 […]
