The Kingdom of God and the End Times
In Season 4, we spent a few episodes exploring how our views of the End Times shape our journey toward becoming more like Jesus today. We briefly examined the four major modern perspectives: pre-millennialism, dispensationalism, amillennialism, and postmillennialism.
Today, we dive back into that discussion with Dr. Darrell Bock, Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies and Executive Director for Cultural Engagement at Dallas Theological Seminary. Dr. Bock is a progressive dispensationalist, which means he doesn’t quite fit into the “boxes” we outlined earlier this year!
Dr. Bock shares some of the foundational aspects of progressive dispensationalism, including how they read and interpret the Bible, the role of Israel, and the nature and purpose of the Kingdom.
Though we talk through some of the primary differences between his views and others, we quickly hear Dr. Bock’s heart for unity in the church, serving those with whom we disagree, and how we should live in and testify to the Kingdom of God, regardless of how we think the world is winding up.
