  • I UNTO the THOUSANDTH GENERATION: THE
    UNTO THE THOUSANDTH GENERATION: THE EVANGELICAL IMPORTANCE OF AN ESCHATOLOGY THAT EMBRACES SUFFERING FOR CHRIST by Paul LeFavor B.S., Liberty University, 2008 A THESIS Submitted to the faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Religion at Reformed Theological Seminary Charlotte, North Carolina July 2016 i Accepted: __________________________________ Dr. Bruce Baugus, Thesis Advisor __________________________________ Dr. James Anderson, RTS Academic Dean ii ABSTRACT Paul D. LeFavor Unto the Thousandth Generation Contrary to popular belief, eschatology drives, or at least affects in large measure, one’s evangelical beliefs and efforts. For example, millions of professing Christians believe in a rapture which envisions an escape from tribulation. They ask: How could God allow His church to suffer? Such thinking leaves God’s people unprepared for trials and, for the most part, socially irresponsible. However, Christ tells us to expect tribulation (Jn 16:33) and even rejoice in it (Mt 5:12; cf. 1 Pet 4:12). Another prominent error in the church, which correlates to and is driven by rapture theology, presents us with a separate saving program for the ethnic nation of Israel, leading many Christians, in large measure, to fall short in their evangelistic efforts to Jews. The purpose of this study is threefold: First, to confront issues like these with biblical truth and demonstrate from biblical studies, church history and systematic theology that the phrase “Great Tribulation” is a technical term referring to the end time trial which has already been set in motion by Christ’s first advent and will culminate with His second advent (Acts 14:22; 1 Cor 11:25; Rev 7:14).

  • The Millennial Position of Spurgeon
    TMSJ 7/2 (Fall 1996) 183-212 THE MILLENNIAL POSITION OF SPURGEON Dennis M. Swanson Seminary Librarian The notoriety of Charles Haddon Spurgeon has caused many since his time to claim him as a supporter of their individual views regarding the millennium. Spurgeon and his contemporaries were familiar with the four current millennial views—amillennialism, postmillennialism, historic premillennialism, and dispensational premillennialism—though the earlier nomenclature may have differed. Spurgeon did not preach or write extensively on prophetic themes, but in his sermons and writings he did say enough to produce a clear picture of his position. Despite claims to the contrary, his position was most closely identifiable with that of historic premillennialism in teaching the church would experience the tribulation, the millennial kingdom would be the culmination of God's program for the church, a thousand years would separate the resurrection of the just from that of the unjust, and the Jews in the kingdom would be part of the one people of God with the church. * * * * * In the last hundred years eschatology has probably been the subject of more writings than any other aspect of systematic theology. Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92) did not specialize in eschatology, but supporters of almost every eschatological position have appealed to him as an authority to support their views. Given Spurgeon's notoriety, the volume of his writings, and his theological acumen, those appeals are not surprising. A sampling of conclusions will illustrate this point. Lewis A. Drummond states, "Spurgeon confessed to be a pre-millennialist."1 Peter Masters, current 1Lewis A. Drummond, Spurgeon: Prince of Preachers (Grand Rapids: Kregel, 1993) 650.

He is also a man who has pastored his church for many decades. Frankly, he is also the kind of man you want on your side in a fight: apparently fearless and utterly reliable. As such, he is surely a great role model for younger pastors. MacArthur is simply not one to be swayed by the spirit of the age. This book by Iain Murray is a fine tribute to the man, giving the reader some idea of what it means to be an undershepherd who strives to remain faithful to his LORD over many years of ministry. This is a great little book John MacArthur: Servant of the Word and Flock pastors and aspiring pastors, and will be read with great profit by any who pick it up. It John MacArthur: Servant of the Word and Flock be a good gift for any young man called to the ministry or for any pastor. It moved me to praise and gratitude—gratitude to God for blessing the church with this man whose ministry has so powerfully impacted not only the thousands who call him pastor, but the millions who have encountered him largely or exclusively through his books, his sermons or his radio program. A prolific author who received national or even international attention in the controversy that a book of his commenced on the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

  • Striking Similarities Between Two Extraordinary Expositors
    MSJ 22/1 (Spring 2011) 41-64 STRIKING SIMILARITIES BETWEEN TWO EXTRAORDINARY EXPOSITORS Steven J. Lawson, D.Min. Senior Pastor Christ Fellowship Baptist Church – Mobile, AL In each generation, God raises up one dominant voice in the church that speaks with the greatest biblical authority and theological profundity, yet with far-reaching appeal. Through his prolific pulpit and pen, such a pivotal figure becomes the primary instrument that most influences the direction of God’s work around the world. Whether it be John Calvin in the sixteenth century, John Owen in the seventeenth, Jonathan Edwards in the eighteenth, or Charles Spurgeon in the nineteenth, every hour of human history has one such strategic leader who marries both depth and breadth of ministry, and most impacts the times in which he lives. For the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, a compelling case can be made that these two individuals are, respectively, Martyn Lloyd-Jones and John MacArthur. Six remarkable resemblances characterize their comparable, extraordinary preaching. ***** Through Lloyd-Jones’ prolific Westminster pulpit in London, and later by the global distribution of his printed sermons, this formidable leader came to be widely regarded in his day as “the greatest preacher in Christendom.”1 Affectionately known as “the Doctor,” this brilliant physician-turned-preacher became the foremost expositor in the mid-twentieth century and was the leading influence in bringing about a resurgence of biblical preaching. “There is little doubt,” Eric J. Alexander writes, “that Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones was the greatest preacher the English-speaking world has seen in the twentieth century.”2 Through his strategic pulpit, only a short walk from Buckingham Palace, Lloyd- Jones spoke to the nation and impacted the evangelical church around the world.

    Foreword a one week old Chris- I was tian when D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones came into my life. In a sur- prising and radical work of God, my wife and I both came to faith in Jesus Christ while vacationing in Washington, D.C. We’d driven to Washington dead in our sins, only to leave fi lled with new life through the preaching of the gospel. We knew very little about the Christian life. However, we had an instinct – go to a Christian bookstore. At the time, we had no idea that a trip to the local Christian bookstore could be spiritually harmful if we purchased books fi lled with unsound teaching. But on that day, in God’s providence, my eyes lighted upon three books: J.I.

I knew nothing of these men, of their relationship and labors together, or of their theology. But I left with their books joyfully tucked under my arm. I wanted to know God, and I wanted to know what the Bible taught. What I read set the trajectory of my Christian life. And though Lloyd-Jones had gone to his heavenly reward some fi fteen years before I purchased these books, he became the fi rst signifi cant Christian infl uence in my life. He discipled me through these and many other writings I would purchase and devour over the years.

Lloyd-Jones would preach every two years in Aberystwyth, and after one occasion I went to see him for morning coffee. It was a great treat for me to be with him alone. These occasions did not happen often. He always stayed in the home of a local doctor who, Dwhen he was a medical student in London, had been converted under Lloyd-Jones’ ministry. Henceforth he zealously bought the Doctor’s books as they were produced by the Banner of Truth. When I entered the parlour the Doctor was reading his daily portion from a much worn pocket Bible. He laid it aside and we had an hour together. If we are to consider the piety of Dr Lloyd-Jones let us start with his approach to Bible reading. reading the bible He said to the theological students at Westminster Seminary, Philadelphia in 1969 that: … [an] essential in the preacher’s life is the reading of the Bible. This is obviously something that he does every day regularly. My main advice here is: Read your Bible systematically. The eusebeia > spring 2007 95 the piety of dr. martyn lloyd-jones danger is to read at random, and that means that one tends to be reading only one’s favourite passages.

  • The Millennium in the Reformed Tradition
    The Millennium in the Reformed Tradition I. John Hesselink Introduction In the Reformed tradition there is no consensus concerning the nature of the millennium referred to in Revelation 20. 1 In fact, apart from one notable exception, one will find no references to the millennium in the sixteenth and seventeenth century Reformed confessions. That exception is found in the Second Helvetic (Swiss) Confession written by Heinrich Bullinger, Zwingli 's successor at the Grossmiinster in Zurich. There we read: We further condemn Jewish dreams that there will be a golden age on earth before the Day of Judgment, and that the pious, having subdued all their godless enemies, will possess all the kingdoms of the earth. For evangelical truth in Matt., chs. 24 and 25, and Luke, ch. 18, and apostolic teaching in II Thess., ch. 2, and II Tim., chs. 3 and 4, present something quite different (Chapter XI). 2 The author of the article "Chiliasmus" in Reli¥ion in Geschichte und Gegenwart even goes so far as to say that chiliasm, i.e., millenarianism" is basically incompatible with the Catholic and Lutheran concept of the church and "was quickly and energetically rejected by the reformers.''4 This statement is extreme, for the only support given for it is the Augsburg Confession (Confessio Augustana), 17 and the reference above from the Second Helvetic Confession. Moreover, the sixteenth-century reformers generally ignored the issue. However, it was not only the magisterial reformers and confessions which had little interest in a thousand-year reign of Christ on earth prior to the consummation of all things.
