The seventy week prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27 is recognized as one of the most important of all Biblical prophecies. Most Bible students realize that it speaks of God's promises to Israel. Most realize that it promised the end of the Old Covenant world, and the establishment of the New.
Do you realize that Daniel 9 foretold the resurrection? In this groundbreaking book, prolific author Don K. Preston proves in a stunningly effective way that the elements foretold by Daniel 9:24 are all inextricably related to the time of the resurrection! The implications of this are incredible for all futurist eschatologies!
In this important work, Preston marshals an impressive body of scriptural evidence to prove the following:
1.) Daniel's prophecy extends no further than the fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.
2.) That the putting away of sin, the making of the atonement and the bringing in of everlasting righteousness, are all resurrection motifs.
3.) Based on the foregoing, this book proves beyond doubt the resurrection of the dead and the arrival of the everlasting kingdom occurred with the fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.
In addition to presenting a positive exegesis of Daniel 9 and Biblical eschatology, this book also effectively responds to the work, When Shall These Things Be? A Reformed Response to Hyper-Preterism. Preston effectively shatters the objections offered by When. This is an important book, and a must read for those interested in not only Daniel 9, but the current eschatological debate.
In 1968 Sam Dawson noticed in his study of Matthew 24-25 that most authors jumped around all over the place and switched back and forth between viewing the chapters as teaching about the destruction of Jerusalem and a final destruction of the planet. He realized that wasn't consistent with the way that language was used in the Old Testament. He began to see that our generalized ignorance of the Old Testament obstructed our correct understanding of the passages. This began a nearly 40-year focus on New Testament doctrines rooted in the Old Testament. Next came his studies on II Peter 3, Jesus' teaching on hell, and the uniform teaching of Moses, Jesus and Paul on marriage, divorce and remarriage. Now he is studying seriously realized eschatalogy. To aid his own study and recognize consistencies, Sam took advantage of his background of indexing technical works at Microsoft and began creating scripture and topic indexes of Don K. Preston's six larger books on covenant eschatology:
Then Shall the End Come (1996)
Last Days Identified (2004)
The Elements Shall melt with Fervent Heat: A Study of II Peter 3 (2006)
Who Is This Babylon? (2006)
Like Father, Like Son, On Clouds of Glory (2006)
Seventy Weeks Are Determined...for the Resurrection (2007)
This Second Edition also contains index entries for J. Stuart Russell’s classic The Parousia, 1878, Samuel M. Frost’s Misplaced Hope, and Ed Stevens’ Expectations Demand a First Century Rapture, for a total of 2400 pp. All these books, plus others, are available at eschatology.org. One of the most effective means of Preston's argumentation is his drawing the same items from parallel passages of scripture. Thus, one of the most important entries in the Topic Index is the term "parallels," which lists most of his parallels. If you haven't read Preston's books, look over the scripture and topic indexes and see the vital subjects covered. An additional practical use of the Scripture Index is to gain access to a variety of authors on a particular passage. If the reader is teaching a book of the Bible, he can also refer to the Scripture Index to see comments from various authors on verses in that book. The Topic Index is also a resource for researching the views of a variety of authors, including futurists. Sam greatly appreciates these men's study and work and has compiled this comprehensive index to make their work more accessible to their readers. As future volumes are published, Sam hopes to add those to these indexes. Plus, volumes from other authors on this subject may be added. He expects to update the index about twice a year.

The suggestion that Jesus was, or had to be, born again, strikes us as strange today. Yet, the reality and necessity of Christ's "new birth" is well established in scripture, and is vital for a proper understanding of eschatology.
Our title may shock the reader at first glance because normally the term "born again" connotes the spiritual renewal of a sinful life. But this article does not imply in any way that Jesus was in need of such a renewal. We do wish to deal with the Biblical concept of the two births of Jesus as they relate to Covenant Worlds. Jesus was born twice; physically, then spiritually. Both births were into specific Covenant Worlds.
Good News! The CDs of the Fifth Annual Preterist Pilgrim Weekend are now Available!
The eagerly awaited CDs of the just completed Fifth Annual Preterist Pilgrim Weekend are now available. This year's seminar was even better than last, and everyone said last year was the best seminar they had ever attended! The theme for this year's seminar was The Eschatololgy of the Parables of Jesus. William Bell of Memphis, Tn and Larry Siegle of California, along with Don K. Preston were the speakers. Each of the speakers was well prepared and brought out of his treasures, things both old and new!
To my knowledge, this was the very first preterist seminar to focus on the eschatology of the parables of Jesus. Yet, the parables serve as the foundation for the gospel itself, even underlying the message of Revelation!
One of the most anticipated lessons of the seminar was Don K. Preston's Jesus' Last And Greatest Parable. In the weeks leading up to the seminar, a flow of emails and phone calls from Bible students attempted to identify that Last and Greatest Parable. Not one person correctly identified it!! You don't want to miss this presentation, or any of the other excellent lessons from the Fifth Annual Preterist Pilgrim Weekend !!
