When God Abandons A Nation, by John MacArthur(Free MP3)
Exposes some of the primary means by which Satan has been deceiving people and nations since the 1960s (and before) right up to our day -- and how these things are signs of God's judgments. A timely and pertinent sermon, excepting a very small portion mentioning (Jesuit-inspired) Futurism.
The Roman Catholic (Jesuit) Origins of Futurism and Preterism
Every classic Reformation confession, creed, covenant and catechism was Historicist, when dealing with eschatology, in accord with what the Bible teaches. The Papacy/Jesuits tried to counter the Biblical (Reformation) eschatology of Historicism by inventing the systems of Futurism and Preterism.
One the best free audio series about classic Reformation eschatology, which is called Historicism!
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. - Isa. 2:2, KJV
Now, Christians, the more great and glorious things you expect from God, as the downfall of antichrist, the conversion of the Jews, the conquest of the nations to Christ, the breaking of all yokes, the new Jerusalem's coming down from above, the extraordinary pouring out of the Spirit, and a more general union among all saints, the more holy, yea, the more eminently holy in all your ways and actings it becomes you to be. - Thomas Brooks, The Crown and Glory of Christianity, 1662, Complete Works (on the Puritan Hard Drive ), 1867, p. 444
*Islam (Muslims) In Bible Prophecy, In the Book of Revelation
In fact, when the classic historicist position is studied, the fulfillment in the case of Islam and Revelation chapter nine is seen to be so striking and well attested that 'even advocates of other approaches who are adamant in their rejection of the historicist system of interpretation have admitted the convincing nature of this particular identification'" - Steve Gregg, commenting on Revelation 9:1-6 in Revelation: Four Views: A Parallel Commentary, p. 176, emphases added).
Summary: If you want to hear something truly amazing about God (and His Word, the Bible), listen to the first MP3 on the page linked above (or provided directly below this summary), on Revelation 9:15, entitled, To the Very Hour! God's Omnipotence, Omniscience, Omnisapience, etc., On Display In the Perfect Historical Fulfillments Of Prophecies In Revelation Regarding the Rise, Expansion and Fall Of Islam by Dr. Steven Dilday (Free MP3, Rev. 9:15). "And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men." This sermon will help build your trust in God, encourage you through difficulties, and give you the peace that passes understanding (Philippians 4:7) -- if you take this stunning sermon from Scripture to heart. This is sermon #224 in Dr. Dilday's exposition of the book of Revelation. Dr. Dilday's full Historicist series on Revelation, the best commentary on Revelation in a very long time (maybe even the best ever), is ongoing at SermonAudio.
If you are looking for a detailed contemporary Reformed audio commentary on Revelation, with much practical application, this is the best you will find.
Jim Dodson Reviews and Recommends the Puritan Hard Drive
If you love the Bible, then you may well be Reformed. If you think of yourself as Reformed, but you have seldom or have never read older Reformed literature, prepare to be challenged. The Puritan Hard Drive provides primary sources and depth of theological and spiritual insight which is lacking in much of what is passed off as genuine Reformed theology. If you think of yourself as conservative, the older Puritan and Reformed authors will help you sort reality from myth in your quest to be truly Reformed. There are more solid resources for less money here than anywhere else. I highly recommend you take responsibility for your soul and spend a few shekels for this cup of cold water in the midst of the modern religious desert.
