Antichrist Defined

By Alex Polyak www.thebiblefulfilled.com Contrary to sensationalist end-time preachers and Hollywood, the term antichrist does not refer to some Satan-possessed politician who will one day rule the world. That’s the stuff of end-time fiction, à la Left Behind, not the Bible. The term antichrist is only used five times in the New Testament, and in… Continue reading Antichrist Defined

A Time, Times, and Half a Time (Dan 12:7)

By Alex Polyak www.thebiblefulfilled.com Both Old and New Testaments prophesy about a three-and-a-half-year tribulation, and there is much evidence it was fulfilled in the first century. In the book of Revelation, which was written around AD 65,an angel prophesied that Gentiles would tread down the holy city, Jerusalem, for “forty-two months “or three-and-a-half years (Rev.… Continue reading A Time, Times, and Half a Time (Dan 12:7)

No More Sea (Rev 21:1)

By Alex Polyak www.thebiblefulfilled.com Many Christians believe there will one day be a world without oceans.

While… Continue reading No More Sea (Rev 21:1)

The Times of the Gentiles

By Alex Polyak www.thebiblefulfilled.com “For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. And they will fall… Continue reading The Times of the Gentiles

Types & Shadows

By Alex Polyak www.thebiblefulfilled.com A biblical “type” or “shadow” points forward to—or foreshadows—a greater event, person, or reality. And once that greater event/person/reality appears—which is called the “antitype”—then the type/shadow loses its significance. The Old Testament is filled with types and shadows that pointed forward to Christ and the new covenant spiritual realities. Here are… Continue reading Types & Shadows

The Kingdom of God

By Alex Polyak www.thebiblefulfilled.com Many Christians expect the Kingdom of God to come physically. But is that really what Jesus taught? Consider some of Jesus’ own statements about the topic: “The kingdom of God does not come with observation [it does not come physically]; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed,… Continue reading The Kingdom of God

False Signs and Wonders

By Alex Polyak www.thebiblefulfilled.com Many Christians believe that Satan can do supernatural “signs and wonders.” In fact, they believe Satan will one day have a representative on earth—the Man of Sin/Antichrist—who will use supernatural signs and wonders to woo people to himself. Although this Antichrist will eventually be killed, Satan will infuse him with power… Continue reading False Signs and Wonders

Did the Fall Lead to Physical Death? (Genesis 2:17)

By Alex Polyak www.thebiblefulfilled.com Many Christians believe that the penalty for Adam and Eve eating the “forbidden fruit” from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil— the Fall—was physical death (Gen. 2:17). Therefore, physical death must one day be overcome so that things will be restored to what they were like before the… Continue reading Did the Fall Lead to Physical Death? (Genesis 2:17)

Is Preterism Heresy?

By Alex Polyak www.thebiblefulfilled.com Futurists often condemn preterism by arguing that it opposes the official “orthodox” teaching of Christian establishment, the church—and that’s heresy! However, there are many problems with this view. To start with, it assumes that the Christian establishment and the church are one and the same, which is not the case. While… Continue reading Is Preterism Heresy?

Daniel 12—Fulfilled!

By Alex Polyak www.thebiblefulfilled.com Despite all the speculation about Daniel 12, there is much evidence it was fulfilled in the first century. In fact, Jesus specifically quoted from Daniel 12 in the Olivet Discourse and said it would be fulfilled within his generation. When comparing the two descriptions, we see that both Daniel and Jesus… Continue reading Daniel 12—Fulfilled!

Gog and Magog (Ezekiel 38-39)

By Alex Polyak www.thebiblefulfilled.com Whenever conflict picks up in the middle east, dispensationalists inevitably start talking about the battle of Gog and Magog, which is mentioned in Ezekiel 38-39 (Revelation 20). Ezekiel prophesied that Israel would be attacked by her neighbors, however, God would miraculously destroy Israel’s enemies. Dispensationalists say this prophecy still has to… Continue reading Gog and Magog (Ezekiel 38-39)

For Dust You Are, and to Dust You Shall Return (Gen 3:19)

By Alex Polyak www.thebiblefulfilled.com Many Christians believe that Genesis 3:19—in which God said to Adam: “For dust you are, and to dust you shall return.”—refers to God cursing Adam with physical death. If Adam hadn’t eaten the forbidden fruit, he would have lived forever physically. But is that really what God meant? I think that… Continue reading For Dust You Are, and to Dust You Shall Return (Gen 3:19)

How Could the Church Miss the Second Coming?

By Alex Polyak www.thebiblefulfilled.com The early church did not miss the second coming. In fact, in one of the most famous prophecies about the event, the Olivet Discourse (Luke 21:5-32), Jesus told his disciples to flee Jerusalem when they saw the city of Jerusalem surrounded by armies (vv. 20-21)—and they did! As a result, the… Continue reading How Could the Church Miss the Second Coming?
