Eschatology

Eschatology explores end times, biblical prophecy, dispensationalism, Scofield theology, Christian Zionism, and preterist interpretation through the lens of Scripture and historical context. These essays challenge popular prophecy assumptions, examine interpretive flaws, and encourage readers to consider what prophetic passages meant to their original audience before applying them today. If you want to test modern end-times teaching against biblical context and sound theology, this category is a good place to begin.

The Judeo-Christian Deception: Historical Origins and Modern Consequences

For years, we have been told that our faith and our national heritage rest upon a “Judeo-Christian” foundation. This hyphenated label has become a type of shorthand for the values we hold dear as American Christians. But is it possible that this term has never represented biblical truth? Even more concerning, is it actually a …

Gehenna vs. Hell: Did the Church Misinterpret Jesus?

The ideas of Hell and the Lake of Fire terrify many Christians. But what did Jesus say about these topics? Jesus consistently used the word Gehenna when speaking about what would come to pass. But it was systematically changed in the Bible thereby changing the meaning of many passages. This should trouble us. My online …

The Loss of Mature Believers in Christian Institutions

This is a lengthy comment I left on a Substack article that is too involved to quickly summarize. If you want to check it out, you can take the link. I may get roasted over there, but I was willing to take that chance for the sake of the people who will will feel heard …

Bible open to the book of Leviticus

Jesus Fulfilled the Seven Feasts Between the Cross and 70 AD

As I have continued to study eschatology over the past few years, I often come across explanations that seem so obvious I wonder how anyone misses it. This was one of those things. Jesus fulfilled the seven feasts found in Leviticus between the cross and 70 AD (the fall of Jerusalem and destruction of the …

Recapitulation in Revelation – Seals, Trumpets, and Chalices

Many of us have been taught our entire lives that Revelation is a complex codebook showing us a frightening future. But what if we’ve been looking in the wrong direction? What if the book is not a roadmap for global chaos, but a glorious, finished testimony of our Lord’s triumph in history? Revelation is considered …

Meaning of the Stars Falling from Heaven in the Bible

I wanted a list of the Bible verses that talk about the stars falling from the sky (heaven). I had an interesting exchange with AI (Arya) today about it that I thought was instructive. It demonstrates the assumptions and parameters baked into every AI model that we aren’t even aware of when using it. Here …

Translators Deliberately Omit “melló” in New Testament Passages About End Times

Christians trust the people who translate the Bible. How would it make you feel to discover that these Bible translators systematically and deliberately leave out a crucial word (melló) over and over again in the New Testament? What if leaving this word out completely changes how you might understand passages about the End of the …

Sallie Schaaf Borrink

I’m a Christian, wife, homeschool mom, battle-seasoned blogger, and happy warrior for Christ. I discuss how Christians who don’t fit dominant institutional church and cultural narratives are already living truthfully and faithfully in the body of Christ.

“Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.” Acts 17:11

A Christian Nation

"The real object of the first amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment, which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

Joseph Story (Associate Justice of the Supreme Court), Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), § 1871.

countenance: To favor; to encourage by opinion or words; To encourage; to appear in defense (Websters Dictionary 1828)
