From Baldwin’s FaceBook profile.
A Facebook post is not the place to go into an in-depth theological discussion about prophecy. However, I have always been transparently honest with my viewers,… listeners, readers, followers, and supporters, and so I need to let folks know how my position has changed–and continues to change–on the subject of Eschatology.
I am not a novice on the subject. I have been in the Gospel ministry for over 40 years. And, until recently, my interpretation of Bible prophecy had been exclusively along the lines of dispensationalism and pre-tribulation rapturism. Until recently, I held the same Zionist positions as men such as John Hagee, Pat Robertson, and most preachers commonly associated with the “Religious Right.” But no longer.
It’s not easy to admit that something I had believed for a lifetime is not Biblically correct. It would have been easy to turn a blind eye to the illuminations that were appearing before my heart and mind, and search no further. Doing so would have saved me much additional study–not to mention a healthy dose of humble pie.
But study, I did. And pray, I did. And swallow my traditional thinking and personal pride, I did. As a result:
1) I no longer believe that Daniel’s Seventy Weeks prophecy had any gap of time. I believe Daniel’s Seventy Weeks (or 490 years) ran concurrently and were completely fulfilled by the death and resurrection of Christ, by the conversions of Saul of Tarsus and the Gentile Cornelius, and ultimately by the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus in 70 AD.
I am convinced there is no “gap theory” in Daniel 9 anymore than there is a “gap theory” in Genesis 1.
2) I no longer believe Ezekiel’s prophecy of Gog and Magog has anything to do with modern Russia. I believe both Ezekiel and Daniel’s prophecies in this regard were fulfilled by the invasion of Jerusalem and Judea by Antiochus Epiphanes.
3) I no longer believe Matthew 24 deals primarily with Christ’s Second Coming but has more to do with the coming destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.
4) I no longer believe that the modern State of Israel has any connection to Biblical Israel–past or future. And, no, I do not believe in “Replacement Theology,” at least not as most people talk about it.
Accordingly, I do not believe the people of the United States have any Biblical reason to support the modern State of Israel militarily, economically, or in any other way. Our relationship with foreign nations (including Israel) should only be for the benefit of the liberty and safety of the United States. Which leads to:
The United States, Israel, and Saudi Arabia created ISIS and have used the Sunni Muslim terror group to fight a proxy war against Syria’s King Assad. This is a despicable and illegal war that can only be regarded as international criminality. Putin is wearing the white hat on this one. And the western globalists who are calling the shots in Washington, D.C. for these illegal wars should be identified, rounded up, and hung for crimes against humanity and for international crimes of aggression.
I know my positions stated above will not be popular with many of my Christian friends. But, at least, give me the benefit of the doubt that, being as seasoned and tenured as I am, I would not come to such diametrically opposite conclusions suddenly or without much heartfelt prayer and study.
