Bible Note: Greetings Taleb, I have always been enthralled by eschatology along with it's minutiae. It’s only been in the last several years that most of my unanswered question, on future things, has been satisfactorily answered. The completion of a book by Robert Van Kampen has cleared up nearly all of my confusion. The name of his informative book is, The Sign, there is a highly condensed version by the title, The Rapture Question Answered Plain and Simple. This author, along with Marvin Rosenthal and his book, have cleared up more for me then all of the dozens of other books I have read on future events. There are many views on what will transpire in the future and all use their pet verses to back up what they say; it is all scriptural, but there are contradictions in their doctrine when compared to other verses. The key to Van Kampen’s understanding and clarification is found in Psalms. Psalm 119:160 (NASB) The sum of Thy word is truth, And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting. What this is saying is, all of the verses on a particular doctrine have to fit together or you have the wrong thesis. Have a nice day, CDBJ |
