• The catholicity of premillennialism among the apostolic and sub-apostolic churches and fathers. You often hear that the belief in premillennialism is a recent invention and that the historic view is amillennialism or even postmillennialism. The article above shows that’s not true at all! Premillennial eschatology, that the 2nd coming of Christ is followed by 1,000 years of Christ’s glorious reign on the earth, centered in Jerusalem, with the glorified saints, was in fact the universal faith of the apostolic and sub-apostolic church! In other words, it was part of catholicity.
• How long were the Israelites in Egypt? The challenge of harmonizing the various passages on the length of time the Israelites were in Egypt has created much heat and some light over the years, and there are some good solutions, some so-so, and some very not good ones as well. Plainly, since the Scriptures are inerrant, being verbally plenary inspired, the Scriptures are right and the apparent difficulty is with us and not the Bible. This is part of the joy of wrestling with the Bible – coming to understand it by subduing our own biases and ignorance. This Scriptural textual solution at Answers in Genesis, combined with important introductory and Egyptian chronology notes by Eric Peterman, provides one good way of viewing and solving the harmonization challenge.
• Should we call it “Easter”?
  
• Magi at the Manger? Our traditional manger scenes, both as creches and in contemporary/popular artwork, have three unaccompanied Magi/Wise Men at the manger scene on the night Jesus was born. The star is right there hovering over the stable. But is that true? Is that how the Bible and history place them and their arrival? Not even close.
