Interpretation Methodologies Matter! Artwork

The Pre-Trib Prophecy Podcast

This podcast teaches Biblical prophecy from a pre-tribulation, pre-millennial, and dispensational point of view. We focus on Biblical exposition of the various texts that teach about Bible prophecy, and will discuss ideas such as the coming rapture of the church, the tribulation, the rise of the Antichrist, a future apostate global religion, and the second coming of Christ, to name a few. Joel Dover is the Pastor of the Calvary Chapel church in Newnan GA, and the former Professor of Eschatology and Dean of Biblical Studies at Calvary Chapel University. Joel earned a Doctorate from Luther Rice University in 2010 where he graduated with honors, and also holds an M.Div and M.A.R. from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, and a B.A. from UNCW.

In today's podcast, we'll begin a talk about Biblical interpretation. The literal method and the allegorical method both have huge supporters. I'll make the point that the interpretive method that we choose has a greater impact on our view of the end times that the prophetic scriptures themselves. Our lenses matter!

Join the podcast as I explain the differences between the allegorical method and the literal method, and begin to discuss how each one impacts our eschatological views.
