The Prophet Joel didn’t warn about "Israel supporters" or "Temple watchers." He warned about the nations turning against and invading Israel: "Let them come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations." (Joel 3). The problem is not believing God's covenants with Israel; it’s the world turning against her. The irony right now is that those scoffing at prophecy while stirring hostility toward Jews are the ones helping fulfill the very thing they rage against.

[Travis M Snow (Dept. of Eschatology) @travismsnow]

Irenaeus of Lyon was arguably the most important church father in the second century (100s AD).

He was also a direct disciple of Polycarp of Smyrna, who was discipled by the Apostle John.

This is one of the main reasons why we should take Irenaeus' eschatology to heart. He is in a direct discipleship chain with Jesus through Polycarp & the Apostle John.

And just for clarity, Irenaeus taught a literal Antichrist, a literal 3.5 year tribulation, and a literal Temple in Jerusalem at the end of this age.

He also taught a transitional millennium after the return of Jesus that will lead to the eternal state in a "new heavens and new earth." However, his "new heavens and new earth" is actually this current world in a refined and perfected form:

"For neither is the substance nor the essence of the creation annihilated (for He who established it is true and steadfast), but 'the fashion of this world passeth away'"...(Against Heresies, V.36.1).

The current fad on this app is to criticize basic, early church eschatology, on the grounds that these things represent modern and novel "boomer dispensationalism." But nothing could be farther from the truth.

I have my own critiques of dispensationalism. But on the basics, the dispensationalists got eschatology right, bc they returned to the teaching of men like Irenaeus. And history will prove this.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (in 1864) on Ezekiel 37:

"This vision has been used, from the time of Jerome onwards, as a description of the resurrection, and certainly it may be so accommodated with much effect…But while this interpretation of the vision may be very proper as an accommodation, it must be quite evident to any thinking person that this is not the meaning of the passage. There is no allusion made by Ezekiel to the resurrection, and such topic would have been quite apart from the design of the prophet’s speech. I believe he was no more thinking of the resurrection of the dead than of the building of St. Peter’s at Rome, or the emigration of the Pilgrim Fathers…
The meaning of our text, as opened up by the context, is most evidently, if words mean anything, first, that there shall be a political restoration of the Jews to their own land and to their own nationality; and then, secondly, there is in the text, and in the context, a most plain declaration, that there shall be a spiritual restoration, a conversion in fact, of the tribes of Israel… Her sons, though they can never forget the sacred dust of Palestine, yet die at a hopeless distance from her consecrated shores. But it shall not be so forever… They shall again walk upon her mountains, shall once more sit under her vines and rejoice under her fig trees. And they are also to be re-united. There shall not be two, nor ten, nor twelve, but one- one Israel praising one God, serving one King, and that one king the Son of David, the descended Messiah. They are to have a national prosperity which shall make them famous; nay, so glorious shall they be that Egypt, and Tyre, and Greece, and Rome, shall all forget their glory in the greater splendor of the throne of David….
If there be meaning in words this must be the meaning of this chapter. I wish never to learn the art of tearing God’s meaning out of His own words.
If there be anything clear and plain, the literal sense and meaning of this passage- a meaning not to be spirited or spiritualized away- must be evident that both the two and the ten tribes of Israel are to be restored to their own land, and that a king is to rule over them.”

[Joel Richardson @Joel7Richardson]

A gentle reminder that from the beginning, belief in the return of Jesus has been one of the most essential doctrines of the historical Christian faith. His return has always been the blessed hope of the Church. Believing in the return of Jesus is not some unique Dispensationalist idea—it's basic Christianity.

[Joel Richardson @Joel7Richardson]

Jeremiah didn't have a X account, but if he had, he'd be dropping bombs on the Jew-haters heads like Israel is dropping bombs on the Iranian regime right now.

"The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: 'Have you not noticed what these people are saying? They say, "The LORD has rejected the two families (of Israel) that He had chosen." My people are treated with contempt and no longer regarded as a nation. This is what the LORD says: If I do not keep my covenant with the day and with the night, and if I fail to establish the fixed order of heaven and earth, then I might also reject the descendants of Jacob and of my servant David. That is, I would not take rulers from his descendants to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But in fact, I will restore their fortunes and have compassion on them." (Jeremiah 33:23–26)

@MikeCosper This is so good.

Let's pray for the Alawite people of Western Syria today. The massacres are continuing unabated for over two days now. This is beginning to look like ethnic cleansing and attempted genocide by HTS and the SNA.

[Devin Ceperley @DevinCep424]

@sfrantzman That’s really insightful and makes complete sense.

@FAI_Wire To know how far human depravity is capable of going is very sobering.

Hamas must be eradicated. Plain and simple.

Following the completion of the identification process by the National Institute of Forensic Medicine in collaboration with the Israel Police, IDF representatives informed the Bibas family that their loved ones, Ariel and Kfir Bibas, have been identified.

According to the assessment of professional officials, based on the intelligence available to us and forensic findings from the identification process, Ariel and Kfir Bibas were brutally murdered by terrorists in captivity in November 2023.

During the identification process, it was determined that the additional body received is not that of Shiri Bibas, and no match was found for any other hostage. This is an anonymous, unidentified body.

This is a violation of utmost severity by the Hamas terrorist organization, which is obligated under the agreement to return four deceased hostages. We demand that Hamas return Shiri home along with all our hostages.

Ariel Bibas was four years old at the time of his death, and Kfir Bibas was ten months old at the time of his death. They were abducted with their mother, Shiri Bibas, from their home in Nir Oz. Yarden Bibas, Ariel and Kfir's father, went out to protect them and was abducted prior to the abduction of Shiri and the children. Yarden returned as part of the agreement for the return of the hostages on February 1, 2025.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Bibas family during this incredibly difficult time and remain committed to doing everything possible to ensure Shiri and all the hostages are brought home at the earliest opportunity.

Any life cut short is a tragedy to grieve, and too many children were butchered, tortured, assaulted, and/or burned alive the day Ariel and Kfir were kidnapped in their mother’s arms. But while the state failed to protect those killed on the Black Shabbat, these two boys survived the day. Rumors have swirled, but there was always a chance they were still alive. The nation, and decent humans the world over, have begged in prayer with bated breath for 16 months—surely, we would get to these boys in time. Surely they (and their incredible mother) would come home alive. Surely their father could have a happy ending and begin to heal.

But this is the world of Oct. 8th—and even the Nazis did not have the audacity to perform press conferences with the Red Cross on the gallows of Auschwitz. The world even of 1943 would’ve condemned the gas chambers and concentration camps if it had seen them.

But this is the world of October 8th. And for some reason, it turns a blind eye to baby boys returning home in coffins—sealed with a certificate signed by the Red Cross.

“Woe to those who call good ‘evil’ and evil ‘good.’”

Maranatha.

[Devin Ceperley @DevinCep424]

@HeavymetalTex That entire press conference was extremely 👀

[Mike Cosper @MikeCosper]

The hostage release today underscores the profound evil of Hamas. Among the freed Palestinians is a man who orchestrated multiple suicide bombings, resulting in the murder of 35 people.

The Israelis were kidnapped in their pajamas, kept in hellish conditions, treated like slaves, and paraded in fake uniforms before cameras.

Meanwhile, there are Palestinian prisoners declining release.

Also, Egypt has taken in 70 freed Palestinian prisoners. But they refused to take any Gazan refugees throughout the war.

The lopsided morality in all this leaves me stunned.
