Scott Clark has written an important essay on this topic.  You may wish to check this out before Friday's lecture.  You can find it here:  http://www.wscal.edu/clark/israel.php

Some of you have asked about the handout I mentioned during our initial discussions of the "two-age" model. Here's a list of biblical passages dealing with "this age" and the "age to come," which I believe to be the basic eschatological structure of the New Testament. More handouts to come as our series progresses.

That link you posted has been moved.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but I believe that the bride of Christ, The Church, (as well as the Remnant of the Old Testament) is the true Israel. "A man conquered by or who strives with God" (Meaning of the word Israel).
Do you believe this? I am guessing you don't.
I'll listen to the audio when its posted.

Just getting caught up today. I'm looking forward to this next one. You've been talking a lot about Dispies. Do you interact with (or where would I find a treatment on) Historical Premillenial views versus Amil? I like DA Carson a lot, but he seems tough to nail down on the subject.

One question if you have time. You tied the Amil perspective to Covenant Theology. Is it possible for a Reformed Baptist, such as myself, to hold on as tightly to the Amillenial interpretation?

Thanks for your work on this subject and the way you've stuck with presenting eschatology not as some sideshow, but the main point of Christianity.

drewB,drewB,drew........oh wait, thats a song :) You asked about a Historic premill view. May I suggest 'The Pre-Wrath Rapture of the Church' by Marvin Rosenthal. We know a reformed baptist preacher who says this book on the Hist.prem.view is tops. Hope that helps........

Thanks for fixing the link

This is going to be good especally in light of the fact that I am about to get banned form The Rapture Ready board (I was a Dispensationalist.)

Do you know when the audio will be posted online?

Dr. Riddlebarger,

Thanks for a great teaching series. I am benefiting greatly from it. I hate to nitpick, but I'm sure you would like to know: you are mispronouncing Van Impe. The "e" at the end is a long "e" so it is actually Jack Van IM-pee.

Thanks again for a great series and Maranatha!

I was wondering if you have read Martin Lloyd Jones' book entitled "The Church and The Last Things"? If so what comments would you have on it and did he take the amillennial position? Thanks and God Bless
