James Jordan: Christian Zionism And Messianic Judaism (1986)

Charles Provan: The Church Is Israel Now (1997)
this is not “Replacement Theology,” it is “Expansion Theology.” The Old Testament prophesied of the Gentile inclusion in several passages, predicting God’s work of taking from among the Gentiles a people for Himself.Continue reading“Charles Provan: The Church Is Israel Now (1997)”
Bibliography: Early Apocalyptic Preterism (150BC-AD150)

PJ Miller: Jesus came to fulfill what Israel failed to achieve (2014)
One thing I’ve noticed is throughout the new testament you never see the Jewish people (again) referred to as chosen. Those in the new testament who are now called chosen are of those who follow JesusContinue reading“PJ Miller: Jesus came to fulfill what Israel failed to achieve (2014)”
Steve Sabz: Armies of Angels in the Clouds (2014)

George Zeller: Consistent Literal Interpretation (2007)
Dr. North has recommended David Chilton’s book, The Days of Vengeance, as the key work on prophecy and North himself wrote the preface.
