Don't Expect Doomsday Anytime Soon

"Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations… "

The Date of Revelation

Preterists teach that the book of Revelation is primarily a prophecy about the Roman war against the Jews in Israel that began in A.D. 67 and ended with the destruction of the temple in A.D. 70. In order for Revelation to be a prediction of the future (Revelation 1:1, 3, 11, 19; 22:6–10, 16, 18–20) and if it was fulfilled by August A.D. 70, then it had to have been written by A.D. 65 or 66 for the preterist interpretation to even be a possibility. Preterist Ken Gentry noted this major weakness when he said of fellow early-date advocate David Chilton, “if it could be demonstrated that Revelation were written 25 years after the Fall of Jerusalem, Chilton’s entire labor would go up in smoke.”1 Actually, all one would have to do is to show that Revelation was written any time after the destruction of Jerusalem.

What are the dangers of binge drinking?

The short answer is failing grades (40 percent) and dropping out (28 percent). But the long answer is far more insidious, more devastating, and deadly! Binge drinking is drinking alcohol (usually beer) without restraint, to the point of becoming drunk. Binge drinking often begins around age 12 or 13 and peaks during ages 18-22. A Harvard University survey reveals that 44 percent of college students reported binge drinking.

Masons

I would like to respond to the letter written by the elderly sister in the December issue of Midnight Call. She had written to you concerning an “active” Mason in her church who is serving her holy communion. The verb “active” lets one know that this man has not renounced and repented from his involvement in Baal worship, to which the Lord has said: “And I do not want you to be partners with demons. You cannot drink from the Lord’s cup and also from the cup of demons; you cannot eat at the Lord’s Table, and also at the table of demons” (1 Corinthians 10:20-21).

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent?” (Romans 10:13-15).
