"We do not have to sift through Paul's thorn, Job's boils, or Timothy's sick stomach to try to understand the perfect will of God. You must realize Paul's infirmity was not in his flesh; it was his soulish man - his mind, his will, and emotions. We know this because he told us the thorn was a messenger of Satan sent to buffet him....It is time preachers stop trying to make excuses for their lack of faith and understanding of the Word of God."

Prophecy: The Apocalyptic Vision: Luke 17 and the coming of the Son of Man

Vision and prophecy go hand in hand. The apocalyptic language of Revelation is no different than the language used in Genesis because its all about the Alpha and Omega, Jesus Christ. One of the things that is often overlooked when we deal with the issues of Eschatology is that the Bible is a covenant book that is pure prophecy. From the very beginning of Genesis to Revelation, the Scripture prophecies are about a redemptive vision woven within a covenant context. God's interaction with His chosen. Have we also forgotten that Moses, the man who penned and gave us the historical account of Genesis was also a prophet? The truth is other than Christ there was no greater prophet in all of Israel. A prophet who spoke to God face to face.

I think this is the same guy who posted some bright comments a ways back at the New Jerusalem Community forum, about how the text of the New Testament doesn't imply that Philip was actually teleported at one point.
Anyway, his website mixing Preterism and Art is kind of neat.
Peace to you all,

This really hits at the heart of the issue for me, because ironically, it seems that many are saying that to "limit" redemption to a covenant context diminishes its significance, when in fact the very opposite is true. Redemption has become more powerful and more glorious in my vision and understanding of it the more I recognize it (throughout *all* of Scripture) in its proper context of God's exclusive relationship with His covenant people.
And the painting is beautiful.
