An Email to Bob Mitchell
Bob;
you have alleged the ancient Hebrew Prophets have said there was going to be a
temple said that was going to be rebuilt into which the Antichrist is going to
move into. I have read the Bible from
cover to cover and somehow or another I seem to have missed those particular
verses. Where are the Bible verses that tell us that the temple that you
propose is going to be rebuilt in Jerusalem is going to be the temple that the Antichrist
is going to move into and desecrate. I was just curious that was all. I have
read where the Bible says that the Antichrist is going to move into a temple
midway through the seven years and from there proclaim himself to be God
reincarnate here on the earth; but there is still nothing at all that I am able
to find anywhere which says the temple that you suggest is going to be rebuilt
is the temple the scriptures were referring to. Could it be that
all you are really doing is quite heavily speculating over all of this and in
fact are not basing any of this on what the Bible actually says? Would you mind
clarifying this situation a little further so that we can all believe that what
you are saying has some essence of fact attached to it, and is not just plain
old fashioned conjecture? Does that seem to be a fair enough sort of request or
do you have some sort of a problem in explaining yourself a little further?
After all, if you are marketing a product, such as a book, then the prospective
buyers need to know that what they are purchasing is the real deal and not just
something that you believe is the correct information. Gods Richest
Blessings.
WHY I AM NOT A DISPENSATIONALIST John Nelson Darby is recognized as the father of dispensationalism later made popular in the United States by Cyrus Scofield's Scofield Reference Bible. Charles Henry Mackintosh, 1820–1896, with his popular style spread Darby's teachings to humbler elements in society and may be regarded as the journalist of the Brethren Movement. CHM popularised Darby more than any other Brethren author. As there was no Christian teaching of a “rapture” before Darby began preaching about it in the 1830s, he is sometimes credited with originating the "secret rapture" theory wherein Christ will suddenly remove His bride, the Church, from this world before the judgments of the tribulation. Dispensationalist beliefs about the fate of the Jews and the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Israel put dispensationalists at the forefront of Christian Zionism, because "God is able to graft them in again," and they believe that in His grace he will do so according to their understanding of Old Testament prophecy. They believe that, while the methodologies of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham. I am not a dispensationalist; it is unbiblical.
