What would Protestant/Fundamentalist Baptist Futurists and Preterists think if they knew that their systems were both created by the Roman Catholic Jesuit priests Ribera and Alcazar, respectively, to take the focus off the present-day pope/papal system as the Antichrist, just to push the focus...
I have been studying the millennial views and have found Kenneth Gentry's Preterist Postmillennialism very compelling. I see in several places that he talks about writing an extensive commentary on Revelation but I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know what the status of that is? Is he still...
