I was called yesterday by an old friend who has had a had time explaining my eschatological view on his radio program. He asked if I could come on his program on March 5, 2009 to discuss it, so I am looking forward to this today. Join us on KGFT in Colorado Springs from 4-6PM MT.
If it is possible, would you please post a link to the show you were on.
Thank you
I would like to and was supposed to get a copy. Unfortunately, the announcer who interviewed me has been laid off due to budget cuts and I no longer have a good contact there to get the copy.
Hi, I found your powerpoint presentation and was interested in your claim that Thomas Nelson predicted the seizure by Israel of the Temple Mount in 1967. After a bit of searching a find a Thomas Newton who published a book on prophecy in 1754 which I think must be the one. It’s available here: http://www.danielstudies.info/free_pdf_books.htm. It does not appear to be searchable being scanned I suppose. Do you know where this prediction is in his book? Thanks, Andrew
It was, of course, Thomas Newton. I slipped up in that slide and entered the name commonly known among readers of Christian books–Thomas Nelson. My power point slides were meant as a outline for teaching from so I do not always give references to support though I am working on it to correct this. The book you mention is the one and I will search through it to find the exact location of the reference. It would be nice if it were searchable or had a more complete index. Thank you for your interest–and help–and I will continue to look for the exact reference location.
Hello again, I found the answer here http://www.bibleinthenews.com/home/view_art.php?id_pag=97. It was Robert Milligan who made the prediction in his book Reason and Revelation published 1868. There’s a searchable version here http://www.archive.org/stream/reasonrevelation00mill/reasonrevelation00mill_djvu.txt and a good pdf here http://ncbible.info/MoodRes/Transmission/LibTransmission.html. The bible in the news article also mentions what Thomas Newton said.
Milligan put it in a footnote with some caution, but even said it should be between Spring and the middle of the year of 1967! (That the sanctuary is cleansed, that is).Hard to say that the sanctuary was in fact cleansed in 1967, but the events prepared the way for that to happen. I need to have a better look at it but I thought I would like you know what I have found out to save you searching. By the way, look at both occurrences of 1967 in Milligan’s book.
Andrew
I’ll chec it out. Thank you for the help and understanding–we strive for perfection but it is never possible.
Thomas Newton’s book is a great blessing, by the way. Just read his exmination of the prophecies made to Ishmael and those make to Esau, and their fulfillment. Evidence from even secular historians of apparently supernatural intervention to preserve the city of the Hagarenes. Trajan and Severus driven back by plagues, lightnings, hail and more!
Thinking about it, it provides an interesting perspective on the more familiar modern debates to look at these prophecies in Genesis. It is commonly said, for example, that the modern day Arabs are Ishmaelites but I have never seen a careful and scholarly defence of that view before.
