Old Testament prophecy focuses on the nation of Israel and the establishment of the kingdom of God on the earth. Daniel's vision from God gave revelation of more details from those given through Nebuchadnezzar's dream in chapter two. In portraying the nations as beasts God is giving His perspective on the world empires that will be ruling in anticipation of Jesus Christ's first and second coming. Revelation concerning the intervening church age is not revealed in Old Testament prophecy where attention is on the nation of Israel and God's plan for them.

Intriguing Disagreement https://shariaunveiled.wordpre ss.com/2013/07/07/islam-and-the -anti-christ-john-macarthur-exc ellent-video/ is the John MacArthur video of a short sermon that most closely matches the one given by of Gil Rugh. In it, I didn't find any mention of the Qur'an. ¶ Now the two men are apparently interpreting some of Daniel and Revelation differently. I would also point out that Dr. Thomas Ice would back up Gil Rugh on not using extra-Biblical sources, q.v., http://www.pre-trib.org/articl es/view/literal-vs-allegorical- interpretation ¶ I have been searching the Internet --and Dr. Rugh would have at hand more resources than I do, but I can't find anyplace that John uses the Qur'an as a resource, or even says anything good about it! So, listen to both sermons and you can make your own mind up about the disagreement between the Drs. Rugh and MacArthur on interpretation on these particular portions of the Bible, which Dr. Rugh has brought up.

Intriguing Sermon! Clash? of the Titans First, a mistake was made when the incorrect sermon was put up, and I wrote a comment on that sermon which really described chapter 3, of Daniel. It was my mistake to not recognize the problem when I was writing my comments to it, and checked on my unease to see there was good reason for it. ;-) What I said still applies as far as I'm concerned and John's sermon, (See my first comment, to get the URL for it!) is directly related to the one I'm not commenting on now. ¶ The Drs. Rugh and MacArthur are top tier expounders on the Bible. They both of course take an expositional path, using a historical, grammatical, and literal interpretation in following that path. They know each other personally I can add. They should be in lockstep in interpretation, but they are out of step in the following. ¶ Dr. Rugh in this sermon at 46 min. into the sermon points out why he disagrees with Dr. MacArthur, As Dr. Rugh points out, you don't go to the works of the Devil to shed light on the Bible. ¶ So, did John use extra-Biblical material to interpret the Bible? If he did, he shouldn't. But more importantly did he come to the wrong conclusions? See his video, and use your head (both men would agree with that!) and determine if John's conclusions are correct, even if he used the wrong source?

Great Sermon! I believe the study of Daniel, The Revelation, Zechariah, and the gospels are so needful for the church, particularly, in understanding historical events, and escatology. We are strengthen more and more in these present evil times.
Here are two others worth listening to:http://www.tetelestai.org/ and W. J. Mencarow at Still Waters Revival Books (SWRB.org).

Great Sermon! Dr. Rugh, in his series on Daniel, points out the meaning of, "Chiliasm . . . 1. The millennium. 2. The doctrine of the personal reign of Christ on earth during the millennium." With various examples. It is made plain Daniel more clearly than any other Old Testament book, sets down the key information that puts down a lot of Old Testament prophecy together, that's foundational to understanding New Testament prophecy. para Dr. Rugh goes on to point out the uniqueness of Daniel, which only God could have given him. para Dr. Rugh gives a vivid account of events before during and after the sojourn of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego in the furnace of blazing fire. It shows that during this time, Nebuchadnezzar is still an arrogant raging unbeliever, of the true God. He had an unchanged heart. para Pity, the whole sermon given that Sunday night wasn't given, but what you get is excellent and show why Dr. Rugh is in one of the top tiers of Bible teachers. Dr. MacArthur was brought up that night. I would suggest you listen to John's sermon, Islam and the Anti-Christ: (John MacArthur (Excellent Video)), https://shariaunveiled.wordpress.com/2013/07/07/islam-and-the-anti-christ-john-macarthur-excellent-video/
In the fall of 1969, Gil began a full-time teaching ministry as Senior Pastor of Indian Hills Community Church. He also earned his Ph.D. from the California Graduate School of Theology. The focus of Pastor Rugh’s ministry is systematic, verse-by-verse teaching of the Bible. As a...
