Dr. Alan Kurschner responded to a common proof text of supersessionism (aka replacement theology).
They teach that because 1 Peter 2:9-10 contains Old Testament references that were originally applied to Israel, they should now be re-interpreted to be replaced by the Church being the "New Israel." 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? A fundamental question is who is the "you" in our target passage?
Dr. Kurschner explains how it refers to Jewish believers, not the Church as a whole, including Gentiles. Listen to find out the reasons why this is the case.
“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” (1 Pet 2:9–10)
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.
Dr. Alan Kurschner first announced that he is speaking at Zion's Hope this week in Florida. The link is below:
In this episode, he gave one of the most devastating arguments against amillennialism as they attempt to argue that "come to life" in Revelation 20 does not refer to the physical resurrection while maintaining that "come to life" in Revelation 20:5 does refer to it!
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.

Dr. Alan Kurschner explained Thematic Millennialism, which is a non-temporal interpretation understanding of the millennial passage. He surveyed two interpreters: E. Schüssler Fiorenza and David L. Mathewson.
Dr. Alan Kurschner explains how to classify millennial views. It is more descriptive than traditional ways of doing it. Premillennialism, postmillennialism, amillennialism, and there is another view out there.
Dr. Alan Kurschner covered another pietistic platitude: “You should be concerned with evangelism, not biblical prophecy." Dr. Kurschner deflates this superficial slogan with biblical facts and shows that it is vacuous.
Dr. Alan Kurschner covered another pietistic platitude: “This Doctrine Divides the Chruch.” Dr. Kurschner deflates this superficial slogan with biblical facts and shows that it is vacuous.
Dr. Alan Kurschner covered the pietistic platitude: “I'm looking for Jesus Christ, not the Antichrist!” Dr. Kurschner deflates this superficial slogan with biblical facts, especially the point that Jesus and Paul contradict this utterance.
Dr. Alan Kurschner covered the pietistic platitude: "What only matters is the fact that Jesus is returning." He deflates this superficial slogan with biblical facts, especially the point that Jesus contradicts this utterance.
Dr. Alan Kurschner responds to the often-heard slogan, "It Will All Pan Out in the End." This slogan is a "pietistic" platitude intended to place the person uttering it above the fray. Dr. Kurschner explains how it fails as biblical reality and contradicts Jesus's and Paul's attitudes toward the Second Coming.
Dr. Alan Kurschner summarized the question on the millennial debate in the book of Revelation and briefly explained the two interpretive tools that he used to contribute original argumentation for premillennialism in the book of Revelation.
Dr. Alan Kurschner continued to respond to pretribulation teacher Lee Brainard's YouTube video "Imminence Under Attack" with Brainard's understanding (or redefinition) of imminence.
Here is the last episode's program responding to him:
Dr. Alan Kurschner responded to pretribulation teacher Lee Brainard's YouTube video "Imminence Under Attack," critiquing proof texts and Brainard's understanding of imminence.

Dr. Kurschner gave a brief description of the history of our modern chapter break system. This should help us appreciate the millennial debate because the artificial chapter break at Revelation 20 is misleading, as it disconnects the context from Revelation 19.
