While I think you may be right about the spiritual aspects of the new creation in Revelation 21, I do believe that the new heaven, new earth, and the wiping away of tears, etc, WILL also be a part of the new creation as well. (I mention this because there's a view out there called full preterism that tries to spiritualize the final judgement, new heaven, and new earth as also happening in 70 AD and I'm hoping that that's not what you are getting at and that you are a partial preterist. I sounds like you are a partial preterist, as you don't deny the final judgment, the resurrection, or the new haven and new earth, but what you're saying there about the new heaven and new earth being spiritual in some sense can be a bit confusing.) I'd held the view, for a while now, that the "first resurrection" was a spiritual resurrection. In fact, even before being told by a teacher that one, the Holy Spirit was able to bring to mind verses, including the part in Genesis 2 where God told Adam and Eve that they'd die (spiritually, not physically) if they ate of the forbidden fruit.) However, this view that you've taught that some of that stuff about the new heaven and new earth, as well as the Isaiah stuff, being spiritual rather than literal, was something I'd just encountered today for the first time. Again, not saying you're wrong, but it's the very first I'd heard of it.

I'm a bit confused on the dragon and what happens to him. The dragon, AKA Satan, would be the MOST evil character, worse than the Beast from the Sea or the Harlot of Babylon. It states somewhere in Revelation 13 that the Beast from the Sea and his false prophet (or at least one of them) would cause the people to worship the Dragon. Did Nero or the false Judaizers openly promote Satan worship and require it? Also, if Satan is bound for 1000 years, how come there is still clear demon possession throughout the world? And if he is merely restrained, how come it mentions a bottomless pit, or abyss, much like the kind that the demons of the Abbadon/Appolyon chapter were in and which the demons that Jesus cast out of the man in the tombs were afraid of being sent to? I do support the general overall view (though I'm a-mil-, not post-mil), but am curious about these matters, trying to understand them better.

This is very interesting and I agree very much because this was my personal understanding of it as well, up until his interpretation of Revelation 21 and Isaiah 65. I simply CANNOT see it as anything other than an actual new universe, new creation, physical, concrete... A new form of living. I cannot. If this is figurative, metaphoric, whatever, then nothing means anything. Why repeatedly say no more death, no more sadness, no more grief, no more injustice, no more, no more, when we still suffer so much death, disease, decay, violence, whether we are Christian or not, how is THIS a new creation ? If Christians could heal everyone, stop all violence, protect every people, yeah ok maybe that would be a form of new creation, but it's far from being the case. Is this simply a lie ? Were these verses like "feel good lies" to lift people up and keep them hopeful ? Spiritual reality and metaphor is one thing, when we die maybe we'll feel better than we felt on this earth I don't know, but this is far from comforting. Especially if this means this goes on and on and on. He says he does believe in an actual end of history, but based on what verses then ? I wish he had talked about it because this would have made things clearer.

I'm a-mil, not post-mil, but I agree with you on 99% of things. Also, I think that the promise of the land was fulfilled in the reigns of David and Solomon. The reason it wasn't fulfilled in Joshua was because it specifically says in the book of Judges that God DELIBERATELY left some of the enemies there to test the people. These people sometimes were beaten back and sometimes they actually took over the land during the books of Judges and 1st Samuel. However, they were driven out (yeah, a few bad guys here and there remained in the (controlled) land, but a lot were defeated) during the reigns of David and stayed that way during the reign of Solomon. That all ended, of course, when the kingdom was split under the reign of Rehoboam. Still, we can both agree that the land promise was fulfilled in the past.

Don't lose hope. The Lord led me to this teaching after 40 years of dispensationalism. I went through two Scofield bibles and the Holy Spirit heard my prayer for truth. Many are coming out of false views. Praise God!!!

Noticeably absent with Gentry's lectures is all the "feeling" oriented teachings of the mainstream view of eschatology. What a breath of fresh air - or should I say: Solid Exegesis!

Just in case anyone doesnt know, partial preterism is very different than full preterism (which this isnt and is unbiblical).

DeMar cited Joshua 21, where Joshua boasts that they had all the land God promised them, BUT in chapter 23, the Joshua encourages his armies to continue the conquest until they obtain all the land God promised them.

I’m a reborn Christian of LESS than a year, and bought into the pre mill rapture dispensational crowd early on, but it just never sat right with me. I was recently led by the Spirit to the TRUTH of Revelation. The state of the church in the US is in a dangerous place with all of the scolfieldism and dispensational teachings. God Bless

This made me suspect Nero seduced his own mom. What an mf'r.

there are several points that undermine this interpretation: - he says επισυναγωγη is used in 2thess2 and hebrews. but the verbal base is used by the Lord at the end of matt24, when he will send his angels to gather his elect from the 4 corners of the world, which refers to the eschatological promise of the regathering of israel. - he says the 'now you know' means the thessalonians knew the context. but, for a start, the traduction is faulty. the greek says 'now the thing which withholds you know, towards the revealing of him in his season'. so, paul is not talking about something withholding the revealing of the man of sin, but that the thessalonians now know what's withholding the parousia and the episynagoge, namely the apostasy and the revealing of the man of sin. - he says the man of sin didn't need to enter the temple because the grammatical pattern in 2thess2.4 and luke4.29 are similar. but they are not. luke uses the prep εις which means 'with the objective of'. paul uses the avd ωστε which means 'with the result of'.

Are there Notes available for these 3 Sessions?

The material presented is somewhat interesting but not necessarily important and so my two cents regarding "New Jerusalem". There is some scripture passages referring to the 'renewing' of the heavens and the earth and one such passage begins at Rev. 21:1 and is immediately followed by the vision John has of "... the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven,...". To accept this as literal is very consoling in that it gives a 'definitive' sense to not only being with and where Jesus is but also indicates a firm fixed place rather than some 'nebulous' environment and makes for greater anticipation to not only see but occupy the mansions as per John 14:2. Now that we realize the enormity of the universe and our limited ability to thoroughly investigate the expanse, it is reasonable to accept the likelihood that " new Jerusalem " exists at this time and is also partially occupied but possibly with a great many vacancies waiting to be filled.

Using the NASB disinterested me 😢

To add to this, the abomination of desolation seems to be both a person and a thing. It is extremely likely that a statute of Nero was placed in the temple and the Jews were forced to worship it or die. For Nero was said to have come back to life … so in a way, he did make it to the temple

Spot on Dr Gentry! I am most perplexed why others say you are still not a full preterist. You seem like one to me. :-) The Lord bless you and keep you.

In all the years of being a devout Christian, this is the FIRST coherent, sane and intelligible understanding of Revelation I have EVER, EVER heard!!!!!!! I have studied, searched out, read books ....finally, finally here is a true to the scripture disclosing of the 'language' of Revelation. Listened to all three of these sessions. Easy to listen to, easy to follow. This is the most definitive exposition of Revelation I have ever come across. Thank you, thank you Mr. Gentry!!!

Wow. God. Bless. Wow! Thank you for telling the truth. It’s horrifying what’s going on in our dead churches. They are CHEERING for genocide.

What a shame! You were doing very good until 16:48 - 54. THERE’S NO COMING OF JESUS AT THE END OF HISTORY!!!!! You identified the Temple correctly. You show here that you don’t fully understand God’s one objective. You need to go back to the drawing board! Since the Temple was destroyed and now 2000 years has not been rebuilt then, God achieved his one objective…… All nations since the obliteration of the Temple are invited to enter the New Jerusalem. The Tabernacle of God is here with us. WORSHIP THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY AND THE LAMB!!!!!!

As I traverse this topic, it seems to me you’re seeing a type and shadow of what happened in the past in 70 AD, however “let no man deceive you into thinking the Lord has already come” should be a hint here to keep looking further into scripture. There is more to the story.

How about “signified “? That means What follows is metaphorically spoken Like angels are messenger The lamp stands are the church Mountain = authority Abousso = place of no knowledge Dragon = devil Sea = people Locust = false prophet/ teachers Most everything!!!! But you can have this discussion when you’re ready for the WHOLE TRUTH

"Man of Lawlessness" is a misleading ohrase. It should ne "Man of Torahlessness". The speaker is Paul, a trained Pharisee, a Jew, an observer of the Scripture. The Messiah and all his earliest followers know that the Law is Torah! The earliest followers were NOT Christians. They were the Way or the Natsarim Sect of 1st Century Judaism. Christianity is the Powerful Delusion. It is the apostate church in contrast to the Natsarim Sect.

If the first resurrection refers to salvation, then why would that language be used of the dead martyrs coming to life. They were already saved.

Is there anyone/church in Queensland Australia that has this view?Its so hard to find true teaching like this🙏🏼💜🙏🏼

Calvins comments on the gifts and the reasons he gave for their absence are instructive( albeit with respect a sign of his times) Atheists make great theologians when being transformed/ transforming..

Timing is all off! This is false teaching! We don't even know the AntiChrist! People wake up!

A few errors: - The Thessalonians didn't know who the man of lawlessness was - they knew who was restraining (preventing) his appearance - the Roman Emperor had to give way to the Holy Roman Emperor, the occupant of the Papacy. - The Book of Revelation was given to the churches in Old Testament symbolism. What is the Temple gathering in the New Covenant - the Christian church. The man of sin will stand in a Christian church and declare himself God. It's a no brainer since the 5th century who he is. He won't be revealed to the world and destroyed until the Second (and only) return of Jesus Christ, so he's still standing in that church today calling himself the blasphemous “Infallible Word God”. - That man will appear AFTER a great falling away from the faith. When did the churches fall away before 70 AD? Contraire, they were adding great numbers everyday and dying for the faith. It happened beginning in the 2nd century with the rise of the early suggestions of a Trinity Godhead, adding another spirit person to rival the only Holy Spirit, the Father, and culminated in the organization of the church/state of the Holy Roman Catholic Church. The Apostasy Paul spoke of is her idol worship of Babylonian, Egyptian gods, and the renaming of pagan Roman gods as Jesus, Mary Joseph, Apostles, and Saints to deceive the masses. (Today, almost every Protestant denomination has signed peace agreements with Rome that the protest against her has ended. Thus, the Apostasy is complete). Christ will return anytime. - Full Preterism is the Gospel of the Jesuits (as well as Futurism), you might want to repent of teaching it).

"1000 years is a qualitative representation.... that must be a very long period of time" LOL. 1000 means fulness. it doesnt measure time, length or quantity. it represents completion to perfection 10X10X10. sheep on 1000 hills = full number of sheep 1 day is 1000 years = fullness of time 1000 year reign = fullness of the reign the idea that 1000 doesnt mean 1000, but MUST mean MORE than 1000 misses the entire point of the number 1000 as a symbol. case & point 1 day is not a greater period of time than a 1000 years, 1000 years is representative of 1 day in time for God.

dispensationalism has given us the LDS church, the Jehovah's Witnesses and countless other cults. in the mainstream dispensationalist world we have an entire business around selling books and films that turn the word of God into Hollywood sensationalism. We see generations of people preparing for the downfall of society and watching it rather than living in the victory that God has won for us and is winning through us.

How can this be😮? Are you saying John Hagee is not infallible? 😂😂😂😂

Here's Gentry's own Confession of Faith (that he claims to hold to): Westminster Confession, Ch. 25, sec. 6, "There is no other Head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ: nor can the Pope of Rome, in any sense be head thereof; but is that Antichrist, that man of sin and son of perdition, that exalteth himself in the Church against Christ, and all that is called God." Ken Gentry DENIES his own Confession of Faith because of his presupposition of Preterism. The authors of the Confession were right; Gentry is WRONG. *Soli Deo Gloria*

The Messiah will return at the end of time in Wrath and Judgement. Those who love darkness are waiting for it in the form of the avatar, the buddah, the maitreya, the world teacher, the "moshiach" - they are STILL waiting. The man of sin is yet to be revealed by his "chosen" people.

@19:09 a certain verse has been referenced and the question is posed "How shall we respond?" Then Mr. Gentry sips his water and begins his response by saying, "John is writing...[and so on and so forth]." Here is where Gentry is wrong, in my humble opinion. John IS indeed writing, but he's not writing his own thoughts or interpretations. John has been shown things in the spiritual realm. John is only sharing what the angel shared with him. John is to share the information with men, but the information is from an angel that is representing Jesus. And what was Jesus' first message when He began His ministry? Matthew 4 : 17 KJV From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Isn't the kingdom of heaven "at hand" for every non believer for all time? So long as people are being born in the flesh, they are being born into sin. Everyone must be born again aka born of the Spirit/born from above. It's been 5998 years since Adam. What does "at hand really mean? How near is "near"? Man was made on the 6th day.

So gathering together to Him of 2 Thess 2, which Paul referred to in that passage as "that Day," that all Christians have been waiting for--their final redemption of their bodies (getting their resurrection bodies), is really just Christians no longer being a sect of Judaism and they can gather as one body separate from Judaism. Wow. What mental gymnastics one has to do to arrive at that. And how anticlimactic. What we thought was something so glorious is just meeting separate from Judaism because the Temple was destroyed. And as if they weren't already meeting together as a separate body.

the more I study eschatology, the more I realize dispensationalism is mostly to blame for the fall of the west. Totally rendered Christianity apathetic and passive in society. As Gary Demar said, the christian west was built by the puritans who had a post-millennial worldview and believed in the spreading of the kingdom through the Word of God.

Congratulations to Dr. Gentry for finally getting his Revelation commentary into print! Can't wait to finally get a copy and get into reading it. I have so much love and respect for this brother.❤

And finally, Dr. Gentry’s commentary on the book of Revelation is done and shipping soon!

I remember when it used to be "Revelations"

This is excellent, thanks for posting. Gentry is a very good scholar.

I respectfully disagree with several aspects of this argument. Primarily, there seems to be a tendency to force facts to fit specific interpretations. For instance, there is no linguistic evidence to support the notion that the name "Claudius" inherently means "the restrainer" in Latin; its literal meaning is "lame." Furthermore, if Nero is being identified as the "man of lawlessness" in 2 Thessalonians 2:9, the passage describes characteristics that include performing miracles and signs. Historical records do not attribute such supernatural acts to Nero. Moreover, while Nero did persecute Christians, he did not exclusively target Jews who opposed the Gospel. Lastly, regarding the events of 70 AD, it was indeed Vespasian who commanded the Roman forces during the siege of Jerusalem, not Nero.

This ought to be how to misunderstand the Book of Revelation. Post mill interpreters are so clever and deceptive. What a surprise it will be when Jesus finds them asleep and unprepared at his second coming in glory and power. Jesus words are clear as a loud bell on eschatological matters.

The assumption of an early date for revelation which underlies the speakers view is disputed as the state of the seven churches shows a decline from Pauls epistles, as at Ephesus their love has grown cold, such a decline requires decades to eventuate. Martyrdom, new converts, and false teaching would all contribute to change, which I believe is the theme of this passage-false teachers.

When ever Paul writes of the temple he is referring to the Christian church, never to the edifice in Jerusalem. He always sees the tabernacle of the new covenant in heaven. He knows that God has left the old temple, and that it has no significance. When we read then of the man of sin presenting himself he is talking of false teachers in the assembly, even as John in describing the spirit of antichrist, coming out from among them. The son of perdition is Judas, that it is mentioned here shows we are dealing with a class of people, not a single entity. It cannot be a heathen, as Judas was an apostate from the covenant people. He is writing to Greeks who have no connection to the Levitical city, Christs command to flee has no meaning for them, as it does to the Hebrews, where the language is all of no certain dwelling place, no continuing city, in view of that imminent tribulation which befell them. John had no reason to leave Jerusalem until that time, after which he assumed Paul’s old circuit in Asia Minor, which Tertullian called John’s nurselings.

Incredible teaching! Using both scripture (truth) and logic (reason) in a way that builds a path for clarity. Learned a tonne!

We have to let Scripture speak for itself and allow it to form our belief system, not the other way around.

Considering we have the never born making tik tok videos to brainwash the youth this video didn't age well.

Revelation 20:4, it's the resurrection of martyred souls, and not a bodily resurrection. These are those who refused to offer a sacrifice to the Roman Emperor as God, something that a true Christian could not do. These martyred souls are the ones reigning for one thousand years. When these souls end their thousand year reign, then Satan is released from the bottomless pit, in order to once again try to persuade the worldwide nations to persecute Christians again, like before, but Christ stops him before he can do any damage, and then institutes the judgment resulting in the beginning of eternity.

10:27 if satan look like a dragon, then it is tge representation of yhvh in old testament as he have smoke from his naustrals and fire come out of yhvh mouth ... interresting confirm my research perfectly and didnt even notice ..

You were making all pass but now you put it in the future ? How did you choose to decide we were at what point cause it seems to me in 1000 ish the devil got release and here appered the corran given by a false angel calling himself michael ... we can follow all the way to us today where we wait for the encirclemwnt of the camp of the saints

There it is at 22 minutes Changes the Revelation of Jesus Christ from Him coming on the cloud physically to a metaphor of Jesus' judgement coming...garbage. Coming on the clouds does mean judgement but it doesn't mean Jesus ISN'T on the clouds.
