The host frames the discussion around Revelation 21:22, where John describes the climactic city of God's future kingdom and makes a startling observation—he “saw no temple” in the city. Rather than treating that detail as symbolic filler, the episode argues it is theologically intentional and prophetically consistent with the Old Testament, especially Ezekiel's end-times vision. From the start, the host notes that the series is exploring themes like new creationism, premillennialism, the New Heaven and New Earth, the millennium, and the New Jerusalem. The goal is not to avoid prophecy details but to interpret them carefully—“nothing more or nothing less”—because God includes details for a reason. Revelation 21:22: The Lord God and the Lamb Are the Temple The core text is Revelation 21:22, where John says the New Jerusalem contains no temple, “for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.” That statement becomes the foundation for the episode's primary answer: Why no temple? Because a temple is not needed in the New Jerusalem. In the biblical storyline, a temple functions as a sacred space that mediates God's presence among His people. But in the New Jerusalem, God's presence is immediate and direct. The city does not require a separate structure to represent or localize God's dwelling, because God Himself—Father and Son—fulfills what the temple always pointed to. This interpretation highlights a major biblical theme: the movement from limited access to God's presence toward full access, culminating in the restored and permanent fellowship between God and humanity. Ezekiel's Vision Supports the “No Temple in the City” Detail A major argument in the transcript is that Ezekiel and John are not contradictory; instead, Ezekiel provides a background framework that helps explain John's description. Ezekiel separates the temple from the city The host emphasizes that Ezekiel distinguishes the temple from the city. In Ezekiel's prophetic tour, the angelic guide shows a structured sacred region that contains multiple elements in relationship—but not identical location. This matters because it supports the idea that even if a temple exists in Ezekiel's vision, it is not necessarily inside the city itself, which aligns with John seeing “no temple in it” (in the city). In other words, the “no temple” detail is not a problem to solve by dismissing Ezekiel or spiritualizing John. Instead, the episode proposes a straightforward reading: temple and city are distinct but near each other. The Holy Allotment: Ezekiel 45 and the End-Time Sacred Plateau One of the transcript's most important concepts is the Holy Allotment (referencing Ezekiel 45:1–7). Ezekiel describes a large square portion of land—notably described as being on a plateau—set apart as uniquely holy. Within this Holy Allotment, Ezekiel's vision includes both sacred and civic components. The city structure and its tribal gates Ezekiel describes a city-like structure with three gates on each side, named for the twelve tribes of Israel. This echoes the broader biblical theme of covenant identity and God's faithful restoration of His people. The host notes that the city aspect in Ezekiel often gets overshadowed by the heavy attention given to the temple measurements, but it should not—Ezekiel's city has a function, and that function ties into end-time governance and God's dwelli...

The conversation centers on a newly published book by Janet Willis, titled What on Earth Is Heaven Like? The New Creation and the New Jerusalem?—a work the host calls the best Bible prophecy book written in the past year. He emphasizes his strong endorsement by noting that he personally wrote the foreword to the book and believes it offers a well-researched, biblically grounded contribution to eschatology (end-times theology). What Is “New Creation Premillennialism”? The host explains that “new creationism” is becoming more popular, but it is often expressed in different ways. He contrasts two commonly held positions with his own view. View 1: “No Historical Millennium” New Creationism One perspective he mentions is a form of millennialism that denies a historical millennial period after Christ returns. In this view, when Jesus comes back, the New Jerusalem, new earth, and new heaven are fully realized immediately—without any intervening millennium. The host notes that while this approach affirms new creation realities, it rejects a distinct future era in which Christ rules the nations on earth. View 2: Traditional Premillennial Timing After the Millennium A second view comes from more standard premillennial interpretations. Many premillennialists place the new heavens, new earth, and New Jerusalem after the millennium. In other words, Christ returns, then the millennium occurs, and only afterward do the final new creation realities arrive in full form. The Host's Position: New Creation During the Millennium The host disagrees with both approaches and proposes what he labels New Creation Premillennialism: the belief that the new heavens, new earth, and New Jerusalem are established when Jesus returns and are experienced during the millennium, not before it and not after it. For him, the millennium is not merely a transitional footnote—it is the period when the New Jerusalem descends and the renewed creation is actively integrated into Christ's Davidic reign over the nations. Why the Details Matter: “Where” and “How” We Live With the Lord Drawing from his foreword, the host highlights a pastoral and devotional motivation for studying these themes. He references Paul's teaching that believers will “always be with the Lord” (from 1 Thessalonians), and observes that many Christians are content to stop there. But he argues Scripture invites deeper understanding: Where will believers live with the Lord? How will life function? What will believers be doing? What is the relationship between God's people and the nations? To illustrate the point, he compares this future-focused study to how intensely people research temporary homes—spending hours browsing listings and visiting houses they may live in for only a few decades. If people can be that invested in short-term housing, he suggests, believers should be far more eager to explore what the Bible reveals about an eternal home with Jesus on earth. Janet Willis' Book: Three Major Contributions The host argues that Willis' book doesn't merely recycle familiar prophecy talking points. Instead, he claims it reshapes the discussion by challenging long-held assumptions and weaving biblical data into a coherent narrative of the millennial kingdom. He highlights three specific strengths.

This episode explores why God chose Jerusalem as His eternal dwelling place and what the prophets reveal about the future city. Topics Covered: Ezekiel's millennial city vs. John's New Jerusalem New Creation Premillennialism explained Biblical evidence for Jerusalem's eternal significance Zechariah's Plateau and geographical prophecy Detailed comparisons of Ezekiel 40-48 and Revelation 21-22 Why predictive prophecy matters The 12 gates, square base, and architectural parallels Recommended Reading: "What on Earth Is Heaven? Like The New Creation and the New Jerusalem" by Janet Willis Available on Amazon: [link] Key Scripture References: 2 Chronicles 6:6 | Psalm 132:13-14 | Jeremiah 30-31 | Zechariah 14:10-11 | Ezekiel 40-48 | Revelation 21-22 The episode's central argument compares two prophetic visions with remarkable parallels: Both Ezekiel and John were transported to the future by angelic guides Both received detailed measurements via measuring rods Both witnessed a square-based city with twelve gates (three on each side) Both identified the city as holy and as God's throne Both emphasized the city's perpetual significance Neither city contained a temple Ezekiel describes the city in chapters 40-48, while John's vision appears in Revelation 21-22. The identical architectural details—square base, twelve gates with tribal names, holy designation, and God's throne—strongly suggest they describe the same physical location. Emphasis on Literal Interpretation The speaker stresses trusting the biblical text literally rather than spiritualizing prophetic details. He critiques amillennialists, preterists, and reformed theologians who struggle with Zechariah 14's specificity, noting they attempt to allegorize clear geographical language. The speaker advocates for accepting God's prophetic word at face value, trusting the text's plain meaning rather than conforming it to theological systems. The episode concludes by previewing future discussions about why the New Jerusalem contains no temple, inviting deeper exploration of this remarkable prophecy. https://www.alankurschner.com/partner/

    What is the symbolic meaning of the seven-sealed scroll in the book of Revelation? Dr. Kurschner first described three common interpretations. Then he explicated his new view, which is the most plausible, called a certificate of debenture (i.e. debt). The nature of the first four seals, fifth seal, and the sixth seal support this interpretation, which also gives additional support for the prewrath position in the book of Revelation. The seals on the scroll are not God's wrath. Rather, the seals symbolize the accumulating debt of judgment that the wicked deserve and eventually will have to pay up when the scroll is opened, unleashing the trumpet and bowl judgments of the day of the Lord's wrath.   CLICK HERE FOR NEW FACEBOOK PAGE CLICK HERE FOR NEW INSTAGRAM PAGE CLICK HERE FOR OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL   Links mentioned in the program: https://www.alankurschner.com/partner/     KEWORDS: End times, Eschatology, Jesus, Great Tribulation, Rapture, Second Coming, Book of Revelation, Bible prophecy, Christian eschatology, second coming of Christ, Antichrist, Book of Daniel, Olivet Discourse, Paul's Thessalonians, pre-wrath, the Apocalypse, Apocalypticism, parousia, apostasy, the church, Israel, replacement theology, prewrath rapture, pretribulationism, dispensationalism, premillennialism, amillennialism, postmillennialism, Preterism, futurism, God's wrath, trumpets, bowls, seals, angels, Armageddon, new Jerusalem, birth pangs, abomination of desolation, Babylon, Amir Tsarfati, temple, Jews, tribulation period, 70th week of Daniel, seventieth, sixth seal, seventh seal

When Jesus returns it will not unfold how the Left Behind movies portray it, nor will it be how amillennialists portray it as some amorphous, instantaneous event where everything is ushered into the eternal state. Rather, God will be glorified as he "shows off" his power through many events, especially the resurrection of the saints on earth as a testimony to the world before they are raptured to the sky where Jesus will be, where he then pours out his day of the Lord's wrath on this evil world.

And consequently, they infer that God no longer has a future program for ethnic, national Israel. But is this what the context of 1 Peter teaches?

    Dr. Alan Kurschner talked about a new preterist view called "Satan's Little Season." It is an amalgam of post-apocalyptic eschatology and Tartarian and Mud Flood conspiracy theories. This new breed of preterists believe that Jesus already physically returned to earth in AD 70 and the physical resurrection already occurred at that time, followed by the earthly millennial kingdom which was completed. So we are all now living during "Satan's Little Season," while Jesus and the saints are in the North Pole hidden away. The church age is entirely over, and we are waiting for that final Gog-Magog battle of Rev 20:8, at which time we will be taken up to heaven where Jesus will destroy the entire world and then we will live in heaven forever. At least, that seems to be the main version of SLS.   Monthly giving link: https://www.alankurschner.com/partner/

    Dr. Alan Kurschner critiqued the most common Amillennial argument in the book of Revelation using Greg Beale's restated argument from William Hendricksen. Amillennialists believe that Revelation 20:1–6 recapitulates Revelation 12:7–11 as occurring during the interadvent period. Beale proposes seven parallels that he thinks make this argument (see the Table below). Dr. Kurschner criticizes each supposed parallel one by one and demonstrates that not only are these not viable parallels, but they instead argue for progression.   ------------- TABLE 41.
