Hank’s New Eschatology

I listened to the Bible-answerman program on-line from last week when Hank had on his “co-author” of “The Last Disciple,” his new novel, along with the publisher who works for Tyndale House.

Hank says that the book of Revelation was written before the fall of Rome – before 70 a.d. (as opposed to 93 a.d. which bible scholars think). He also says that he’s not a full preterist, but a partial one. He calls his new doctrine “Exegetical Eschatology.” He says there will be no literal mark on the hand or the forehead of either the antichrist’s followers or those of the Lord’s who are marked by the angels. He explains that away as a mark of a life lived for one or the other. He ridicules the idea that a chip implanted in the skin for buying or selling could have been meant. He is still like a slippery fish in nailing down his beliefs – he says to buy his (ghostwritten) book for those answers. But he affirms the future coming of the Lord, but only for the final judgment and one and the same resurrection of all people, lost and saved. He sounds very Catholic in his views. He has identified Nero as the antichrist.

At least that much we can get out of him.

He was very vocal, however, in slamming dispensational/premillenneal theology. But ended the 2nd program with an aside that he would be speaking at Skip Heizick’s (sp?) church – a Calvary Chapel – this week-end.

How convenient!
