Samuel Waldron's MacArthur's Millenial Manifesto is now out from Solid Ground Christian Books. We have ordered a copy and will be very interested to see Dr. Waldron's conclusions. As readers of this blog know, we differ from MacArthur in our views of eschatology, though of course we consider him a brother in Christ. We probably dissent from Waldron on several points too, as we are aware of only three other Christians with whom we are in total agreement on the matter of Eschatology. One of them taught us Hebrew, another Greek.
So watch this space. Hopefully the book will arrive in a week or so.

I'm currently a "partial Preterist" and Postmill... I do agree with your posts on Israel's future in eschatology as well.
(I say "currently" because my eschatology seems to change like the wind!)
What makes you think you're not one of the three? And in eschatology in particular, owing to the obscurity of some passages, it's best not to be too dogmatic.
Hi HH,
This may sound like a silly question, but how did you buy your copy? From Solid Ground directly, or through ...?
Jenson
Through Amazon.co.uk, so not from Solid Ground or RBAP.

Good question... I suspected that I might be, but wasn't 100% certain about it. :)

I agree. I have good friends who are all over the map on eschatology.
Just on Friday I was speaking with a presbyterian friend who said he oscillates between amillennial and postmillennial. We agreed that this is a healthy Reformed openness to further light on the End Times.
Which did not stop me stating from the pulpit that Christ comes back to judge, not to usher in a new age of grace.
Having said that, I once preached elsewhere on the Second Coming. Afterwards one of the congregation said to me: "You preached for fifty-five minutes". I replied that I was not aware I had taken so long. He said "That was just an observation. Now, you preach a simple Second Coming. If it took fifty-five minutes to preach that, imagine how long it would take to preach the dispensational position!!!"
