Exegetical Eschatology & A Virulent Linguistic Pandemic

Hank Hanegraaff, the host of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, explains that a lot of people play fast and loose with words today—and not just in the secular culture! Among Christians, we find an increasingly virulent redefinition of words related to biblical exegesis (a proper unveiling of what is in Scripture) as it relates to a proper understanding of eschatology or end-times. For example, dispensational luminaries intimate that when Jesus speaks of things that “must soon take place,” He is really speaking of things that will take place in a distant millennium; and when Jesus says that “the time is near,” He is really intending to say that the time is far off.
