Here, I use four criteria to select the best place to start documenting the Bible's prophetic model:

1. It should be in the New Testament
2. It should use a minimum of figurative language
3. It should be lengthy
4. It should influence the rest of the New Testament

In addition, I explain the word "inmillennialism."

In this episode, I show how the Scriptures create a dilemma for the existing prophetic models to encourage you to join us as we discover a better option. Here is the outline:

Introduction

1. Category 1: OT Scriptures about the future kingdom
   1. The Davidic kingdom (2 Sam 7:12–13, 19)
   2. The increasing kingdom (Dan 2)
   3. The victorious kingdom (Psa 110:1)
2. Category 2: NT Scriptures announcing the kingdom
   1. The first of Acts
   2. The end of Acts
   3. The interior of Acts
3. Category 3: NT time statements about Jesus coming in the kingdom
   1. Matthew 10:23
   2. Matthew 16:27–28

Conclusion: the dilemma
