The Time Gap Theory
Walvoord: "Dispensationalists have regarded the present age as a parenthesis UNEXPECTED and with it specific prediction in the O.T. ..." 227, MK
Again:"Nothing could be plainer to one reading the O.T. than the foreview herein proved did NOT PREDICT a period of time between the two advents, pg. 228 MK
WHAT ABOUT THESE THEN: NOTE, IF ONE PROVES THE O.T. DID, THEN DOWN GOES THEIR THEORY.
1.Gen. 12:3 & Gal. 3:8f, Jew and gentile to be redeemed IN THIS AGE.
2.Acts 26:22-23; preached nothing but what Moses and prophets said--gospel BOTH to the people (Jews) and the gentiles.
4.Luke 24:46-47; death, resurrection, world-wide preaching under the Messiah.
5.Hosea 1:10; 2:23; & Rom. 9:24; (1 Pet.2:9-10).
EVEN THEIR "PASSAGE" of Dan. 9:27 PREDICTED the death of Christ! But the reason for the "parenthesis" was BECAUSE THE JEWS REJECTED THEIR KING, THEREFORE GOD POSTPONED IT. HOW DOES THAT COINCIDE WITH DAN. 9:27???
Besides: Jesus said that the time was fulfilled!
1) changed his mind (could not because of such prophecies as above of his death)
4) HAD IT ALL FIGURED OUT CORRECTLY, and thus THE MILLENNIALIST IS WRONG.
