The threadbare argument that dispensational teaching is new has been the propaganda of anti-dispensationalists for decades, and many actually believe it. In this fascinating journey through the early Christian writings, James C. Morris demonstrates that dispensational teaching is as old as the church itself.
Many attempt to discredit dispensationalism by claiming that the church never taught it before around 1830. Such a claim is ridiculous, for proof that any particular idea was never taught in any particular time period would require an exhaustive examination of every teaching that took place during that period. Even for a relatively short period of time, such an exhaustive search is manifestly impossible, much less for nearly eighteen centuries.
But this claim involves a serious falsehood. This is that the accuracy or error of a doctrine can be determined on the basis of how long men have taught it. We have no right to base our ideas on anything other than the word of God itself. Anything less that this is a false foundation.
The purpose of the present study is to examine numerous instances of dispensational doctrine that were clearly taught in some of the very oldest Christian writings on Bible prophecy that have survived to the present day, as well as in numerous other truly ancient Christian writings.
If you want to know key time periods, key individuals, and key events in Bible prophecy, you need this book An exhaustive study of Biblical prophecy by Bible teacher and award-winning author James Morris. The book is filled with maps, charts, Biblically sound information, and an exhaustive index. This is a book that gives you information about what the Bible actually says, not interpretation that is often wild and untethered to Scripture. Author James Morris says, We are not free to interpret the Bible as we please. Instead, we are responsible to learn what it teaches. This book will allow you to do exactly that
There has been much written about the Revelation, or the Apocalypse, as it is sometimes called. And there are many books about the book of Daniel. But there have been very few, if any, books that have considered these two books as God gave them, intertwined together.
This book is an attempt to demonstrate, not only how the prophecies in these two books relate to each other, but also how the two books themselves relate to each other. The stand is taken that the sealed scroll of Revelation 5 represents the book of Daniel, which had been sealed in Daniel 12, and that, likewise, the open book, which in Revelation 10 the prophet was told to eat, represents that same book of Daniel after its seals had been opened. For indeed, up to that point in the Book of Revelation, the symbols are unique to the book of Revelation. But from that point on, the symbols are straight out of the book of Daniel.
This is a collection of independent articles concerning subjects relating to Bible prophecy, arranged in logical order and edited to suit publication together as a single volume.
