IDEALISM: Perfect Idealism Defined Within the Already But Not Yet
This commentary on the Apocalypse is from a Reformed Orthodox Idealistic and Futuristic point of view taking into the account the already but not yet. This kind of a work has never been done before. Previously concerning Eschatology I had wrestled with Preterism and then Redirectionalism. However, once I fully understood salvation from the Reformed perspective I was able to get a better understanding of the book of Revelation and Eschatology. Previously concerning Soteriology I was under the doctrine of the OSAS Charles Stanley heresy.
Concerning the Eschatological perspective: We know that the Lord promised the seven churches in Revelation that He was coming to them, and that the faithful churches would remain. Thus His word was fulfilled. Yet, the resurrection change of 1 Cor. 15 for the living did not happen as far as they could tell. This means that the second coming is now in the present idealistically while we wait for it to come to pass literally. And if the Lord is not coming literally in your Eschatology, then by default that view is equal to Full-Preterism. Previously I did not understand Redirectionalism, that because it uses the past to define the future that by default the view was Preterist in nature. This was a revelation to me in the understanding of the default nature of Redirectionalism. Redirectionalism is necessary but it can only take you so far. The radical aspect of the Second Coming is better and rightly situated within the world of what we define and have come to know as the Already But Not Yet, as an Idealism that has already been defined in the past Already, but not Yet, not fully.
Therefore, because Jesus is coming we sanctify ourselves and the church for when He shall appear. When He comes He will make an end of sin, and pain and death will end in every way and we will fully understand what we should have understood from the beginning but did not have the strength to do so.

NOTHING: COMMENTARY ON ECCLESIASTES
What is this vanity, and is it a part of the Christian life?
Is vanity only something that has to do with the heathen and those who are lost? Or is the reason vanity is the subject of Ecclesiastes because Solomon is exalting the life of the heathen? This commentary will take the position that vanity often becomes inseparably integrated with Christianity. How does it happen that this vanity Solomon speaks of comes to life, and how should we understand it? These are complex questions that can never be fully answered, yet Solomon has made those points come to light which are of the most importance.

THE IHOP WORLDVIEW
Excerpt from Section VII:
One King Page 8-9 While the gospel teaches that the law of Moses is passing away, it clearly teaches that the covenant with Abraham is not passing away at all but, instead, is the foundation of the gospel. … While the law must pass away, Abraham’s promises must not pass away because they are the very basis of the gospel, … In Genesis 12, God begins to give shape and definition to His redemptive plan. He begins by calling out Abraham and giving him very specific promises. He says to Abraham, Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. (Genesis 12:1–3) God makes three very distinct promises to Abraham here. Each of these is important to recognize because the promises are key components of God’s redemptive plan and all three—the promise of land, the promise of descendants, and the promise to the nations—must be fulfilled by His chosen King. … pg. 14 Yes, there will be billions, like Abrahams’s servant, who will be grafted into Abraham’s house and receive blessing. However, the promise is given to Abraham will have a literal fulfillment in his descendants.
Genesis 17:13-14 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs becircumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant. … In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son. And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
Romans 2, 3 For circumcision verily profiteth, … yea, we establish the law. The Law is not Passing Away. The original paining Stoning of Steven by Luigi Garzi.

JESUS IS THE JEHOVAH OF THE NEW TESTAMENT
Are we to be Jehovah witnesses or Christ’s witnesses. Acts 1:8 says: “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” See also 1 Cor. 2:2, Philippians 2:9, 3:8, 2 Peter 3:18 which verses also indicate that Christ, not Jehovah is to now be our focus.

The Age of Parousia
This small book is a review of Sam Frost’s two books 1.) WHY I LEFT FULL PRETERISM and 2.) THE PAROUSIA OF THE SON OF MAN. Samual Frost is at the forefront of the debates against Full Preterists and I commend him for that. However I don’t agree with his view on the Parousia nor his way of explaining why we are no longer in the OT world.
Unless you are a Full Preterist or a Partial Preterist this book will be of little to no value to you.

The Second Coming of Chirst As Seen In The Thessalonians by Herbert Henry Ehrenstein
This 48 page book is on The Second Coming of Christ As seen in the Thessalonian Epistles. It is the only book I can find written by Herbert Henry Ehrenstein. Pastor Ehrenstein was a contemporary with and editor for Donald Grey Barnhouse of Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia Pa. I believe both Barnhouse and Ehrenstein shared very similar eschatological views. Though I do not agree with Ehrenstein in the minor details I believe we agree in principle; that the church is waiting for Christ to come again and remove the world, the flesh, and the devil as she preaches the Gospel and is persecuted and sanctified by it and for it. A free version of this book is available on lulu in ebook format. Ehrenstein
