It is the beginning of an incredible maturing to our faith, our cause, and our purpose. It also provides “a door” into deep thinking as it relates to certain questions concerning creation, existence, and the “original life!” As I read through it, I was reminded of my own excitement as an emerging believer in the Faith. The curios journey into Genesis and the Brilliance of God. I believe Michael’s book will provoke and inspire that same thought for you as it did for me. It is a bridge to the heart and mind of God, and at the same time providing sure footed establishment into living doctrine in this current, rapidly evolving apostolic season.

4. ASSUMING THE BOOK OF REVELATION [OR MOST OF IT] IS AFORECASTOFFUTUREWORLDEVENTSSTILLUNFULFILLED.ThisassumptionviolateswhatthebookofRevelationsaysaboutitself.Inbothitsprologueandepilogue,itstates,concerningthewholeofitsprophecy, that it was: "at hand," "obeyable" and, finally, "not to besealed up." Revelation's total relevance starts in the lifetime of itsoriginalhearers.Butitdoesn'tstopthere.

6. TEACHINGTHAT1STCENTURYSOCIAL, POLITICALANDRELIGIOUS

7. LIMITINGTHECOMINGSOFJESUSTOONLYTWO,ORTHREE.

The popular use of so-called "Second Coming" terminology hasconditioned us to a flawed, two-adventmindset.Not only is this nottheterminologyofScripture,it'snotitspatternorconcept,either.ThemanycomingsofJesusrunlikeathreadthroughboththeOldandNewTestaments.Manydifferentandvaried typesofHis comingsarealsopromised. Remember, "hope deferred makes the heart [the Church]sick"(Proverbs13:12).

8. POSTPONINGALLORPARTOFTHECOMING [I.E. CONSUMMATION]

9. MISUSING JESUS' STATEMENT ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO KNOW

THE "DAY OR THE HOUR" OF HIS COMING TO IMPLY NOT BEINGABLETOKNOWTHEMONTH,YEAROREVENTHEGENERATION.Scripture is precise in its use of time statements. For 1st CenturyBelievers, not being able to know the "day or hour" was no excuse.Jesus emphatically warned "when you see Jerusalem surrounded byarmies...getout"(Luke21:20-21ButwhenyouseeJerusalemsurroundedbyarmies,thenknowthatitsdesolationisnear.21Thenletthosewhoarein Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of herdepart,andletnotthosewhoareinthecountryenterher.).
