This synopsis is intended to save you a great deal of time. I have struggled through the questions about presuppositions or assumptions, the logical or ill-logical developments in Reformed and Dispensational thinking about Scripture. I have considered the languages, the linguistics, the history, the theology, and the Biblical Theology involving both Dispensationalist and Reformed positions. Most of all, I have tried to listen to the Holy Spirit speaking in the Scriptures. Here is the best that I can do from the perspective that I have which is the guide to the 300 pages in this Volume. As I have written, this synopsis may save you some time.
Within the context of Matthew 26:63-64, Jesus brings the Old Covenant under Moses, summarized in the Passover, to its fulfillment and conclusion in the New Covenant, by offering Himself through the Holy Spirit as the ultimate and final sacrifice for the sins of His People. Matt. 26:63-64 summarizes the whole Book of Revelation, The Apocalypse. Psalms 2:7 and 110:1 are cited in Matt. 26:63-64. Psalms 2:7 and 110:1 are alluded to in the Apocalypse. Psalms 2:7 and 110:1 are quoted in the Epistle to the Hebrews. Psalms 2:7 and 110:1 are both quoted and alluded to in the Gospel of John, the Synoptics, the Acts of the Apostles, and the Pauline Epistles. Psalm 2:7, Thou art My Son; this day have I brought Thee forth; and Psalm 110:1, The LORD said to My Lord, Sit at My Right Hand until I make Thine enemies the footstool of Thy feet, within the discussions demonstrate that Dispensationalism and its reconstructions of the Scriptures in terms of the “millennium”, the Tribulation, the Rapture, and the resumption of sacrifices of the Levitical system of worship in the 3rd Temple of Ezekiel are in error.
The following Synopsis and Roadmap of Revelation: The Book of Blessing, Volume 10 Fascicle B, may not be as clear nor as logical as I would like, but after multiple iterations, this is the best that I can do. My presentation is divided into 7 Parts beginning with the Apocalypse, the Book of Revelation, Chapter 20.
Part 1 addresses the following issues in the order listed:
1) Revelation 20:1-7, The First Resurrection and the Second Death
2) Revelation 20:6 The Pattern of the Blessed in the Apocalypse
3) Revelation 20:1-7 The Thousand Years
4) Structure, Design and Symmetry of the Apocalypse
Part 2 examines the Prologue of Hebrews, Hebrews 1:1-4 and its majestic Christology. This Christology is an exegetical necklace composed of 7 quotations from the Hebrew Scriptures translated in Greek. Hebrews, chapter 2 contains a majestic statement of Anthropology which considers Man as he was intended to be. Psalm 8 is a summation of Man’s dignity. The only Man who since Adam fulfilled the intended purpose and dignity of Man, was our Lord Jesus Christ, truly God and truly Man. Hebrews 7:12 reads: since there is a change in Priesthood there is consequently a change in law; and Hebrews 10:9 reads: He takes away the First in order to establish the Second. Together, Hebrews 7:12, Hebrews 10:9 and the Biblical Structure of Time in Hebrews 1:1-4 exhibit the incompatibility of Dispensationalism, with the Epistle to the Hebrews. Part 2 concludes with the two diagrams illustrating the Biblical Structure of Time.
Part 3 begins with the Gospel of John. Part 3 draws upon the Synoptic Gospels, the Book of Acts, the Pauline and Catholic Epistles in demonstrating that Dispensationalism is incompatible with Scripture.
Part 4 These chapters from Matthew, chapter 16 through Matthew, chapter 28 demonstrate that there are underlying themes in Matthew’s Gospel: The Church, the Kingdom, The Apostacy and Rejection of Ethnic Israel and the Principles of Eschatology in Matthew 24 illustrated in Parables in Matthew 25. Matthew 26:64 draws together the Prophecies of Daniel 7-12; Psalm 2:7 and Psalm 110:1 and Jesus’ Oath before Caiaphas as a summary of the Book of Revelation.
Part 5 is a discussion of the chiastic structure within Matthew’s Gospel referred to in Part 4.
Part 6 demonstrates the underlying unity of the terms Church, Kingdom, People of God, Children of Abraham, the Israel of God, the Called of God and His Elect within the Scriptures.
Part 7 addresses the underlying identity and oneness of the People of God referred to in the Scriptures.
May the Lord Jesus be honored and His People aided in their studies of the Scriptures, the Word of God, through the presentations in Volume 10, Fascicle B.
