5.0 out of 5 stars
Good primer on eschatology,
By rossuk (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Biblical Studies in Final Things (Paperback)
The writer is a former dispensationalist and writes with great clarity on issues dealing with eschatology (last things), first published in 1966 but well worth getting, as are his other books, which are sadly out of print (e.g. Amillennialism Today, Examination of Dispensationalism). If you can get a second-hand edition, then grab it.
This book covers a useful range of topics: God's eternal covenant, realized eschatology, kingdom of God, Israel and the church, tribulation, antichrist, Second Coming, resurrection, judgement, Rev 20, the millennium, and the final state. The book is ~230 pages, it is clearly written and would be a useful primer on eschatology. Those wanting to find a biblical alternative to much of the current end-time fiction will find this book a breath of fresh air.

A REFORMED ANALYSIS OF ESCHATOLOGY FROM AN AMILLENNIAL PERSPECTIVE,
By
This review is from: Biblical Studies in Final Things (Paperback)
Cox states in tbe Introduction to this 1966 book, "This book has two paramount purposes: (1) to present from the Scriptures themselves, as accurately as possible, a clear arrangement of God's plans and program for the future; and (2) to help eradicate from our minds some things---held by many sincere people---which the Bible does not teach. For in this, as in most great doctrinal areas, there have sprung up man-made beliefs and 'traditions of men.' It is just as important to unlearn false beliefs about God's Word as it is to gain new insight into areas of truth."
Here are some representative quotations from the book: "If this 'gap theory' (between the 69th and 70th weeks of Daniel) be correct, then the gap has already lasted longer than the entire period that was prophesied. This is incompatible with all the known rules of prophecy." "Neither the book of Daniel nor any subsequent part of the Bible mentions or even hints at a gap between the fulfillment of the sixty-ninth and seventieth weeks of Daniel's prophecy." "Only the prophet Malachi possibly spoke AFTER the literal fulfillments... The reader will search in vain for prophecies, in Malachi, of a regathering to Jerusalem, or a rebuilding of the temple. Why? Because these had been fulfilled literally by the time of that writing." "Again, all conservative scholars are agree that the fourth kingdom (of Daniel) referred to the Roman Empire. It is clearly recorded in history that this empire came to an end in A.D. 476. Since the seventieth week was prophesied to happen during a kingdom which has ceased to exist, it follows logically that the seventieth week had to have been fulfilled PRIOR to A.D. 476." This book is a companion to Cox's book, Amillennialism Today.

one of the best in eschatology comparitive reviews,
By
This review is from: Biblical Studies in Final Things (Paperback)
Comprehensive, worth the read.
Amillennialism Today is the condensed version, why not read the original? Readers will also find The Basis of Millennial Faith by Rev. Floyd E. Hamilton another good primer if you can find it!
