Bob posted, in part: "I must say that I think that anyone who thinks that
apocalyptic literature is prophetic literature, or who thinks the that
purpose of prophecy is merely predictive, doesn't understand prophetic
literature or prophecy, whether that person be Sir Isaac Newton or Hal
Lindsay or Allen Roy."
Thanks for the perspective, Bob. I once studied a book, THINGS TO COME,
under no other a biblical giant than J. Dwight Penecost. Read the whole
book. I had almost as many marginal notes as he had text. He conducted a
week-long seminar on it at Keswick in, I think, 1966.
Wish I still had it (the book); lost along life's journey. About two months
after I concluded with it I came to the position that Penecost was probably
wrong; if he was right it didn't much matter anyway. Christianity had to
consist of things more important.
