Old Testament Ties to New Testament Prophecy

Gary continues his response to Pastor Jim McClartys critique of his interpretation of the 1000 years in Revelation 20. McClarty presents arguments for a literal interpretation of Old and New Testament prophecies. Gary DeMar argues the Bible should be taken literally but on its own terms by comparing Scripture with Scripture. The Bible is the best interpreter of the Bible even if we dont like what its saying.

[Nazarene4Life]

Ezekiel's temple will be the last temple built by Yeshua for His thousand year reign. Ezekiel's temple can not be the temple in the New City coming down, (if there's going to be a temple in it) because there will be no death in the New World. In the thousand year reign in Ezekiel's temple there will be animal sacrifices and the Levitical priesthood, because the thousand year reign will still be in this temporal realm. After this comes the New World and the New City.

I was raised as a dispensationalist. After 25 years of actual study.. i didnt come to throw that out until the last 5 years. I now hold partial preterist views. I still have a problem with full preterism.. but I'm not discounting the possibility that there are factors of interpretation that i have reckoned.

I still believe that the Olivet discourse talks to 2 viewers, the apostles with christ in person on their aeon, and the future apostles in the last days of our age.

John 2:19 "Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days." 20The Jews replied, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?" 21But the temple he had spoken of was his body. "

The only rebuilt Temple is Jesus' body and the church as living stones together as God's building with Jesus as our capstone. Other than this, dispensationalists imagine any other "temple". Their lies are dangerous.
