In his prediction of the impending destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem, Jesus said "This Gospel of the kingdom must be preached into all the world, then comes the end." Wait! The fall of Jerusalem and that awesome Temple was "the gospel"? It was "the good news".... of the Kingdom? How could this possibly be true? In this ground breaking new book, prolific author Don K. Preston (D. Div.) explores this seldom discussed - seldom considered!- question and walks the reader through a fascinating and important Biblical journey of the last days and the importance of that Jerusalem temple. There...

There is an increasing awareness in Evangelical Christianity of the tremendous redemptive-eschatological significance of the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70. That event is no longer being seen as simply the destruction of the Jewish capital. It is becoming more and more clear that the fall of that city had tremendous spiritual importance. In spite of this growing awareness and appreciation of the events of AD 70, it is increasingly common, especially in the Amillennial and Postmillennial world, to claim that the end of the age judgment in AD 70 was a type of the real “end of the world.” This...

The Jerusalem temple was the focal point of the celebration of the seven feast days of the Lord. Those feast days, overseen by the Levitical priesthood, were a foundational part of the Law of Moses.

All agree that the final three feast days foreshadowed the coming kingdom, Judgment, Day of the Lord, Resurrection and the New Creation. The first four of the feast days were fulfilled while ...

Jesus said his coming in judgment would be "in the glory of the father" (Matthew 16:27-28). Just what did "in the glory of the Father" mean? Amazingly few commentators take careful note of this important statement, but, the full implications of what it means are staggering! It means that Jesus' coming in judgment was going to be a coming as the Father had come before. And make no mistake, the Father had come many times, but, He had never come bodily, visibly, literally. He had always manifested His sovereignty by utilizing one nation to destroy another nation. Thus, for Jesus to say he was ...

The Millennium is one of the most controversial of all Biblical doctrines. It is assumed by most Christians that there is a degree of Christian unity about this doctrine, but, nothing could be further from the truth! Some say we are in the millennium, some say it is yet future. A growing number of Christians believe the millennium is past, and that the enigmatic term refers to the time between Jesus' ministry and the end of the Old Covenant age in AD 70. There is not another book like this anywhere. This changes everything!
