Summary
In this fascinating discussion, Lee Brainard and Mondo Gonzales examine what the church fathers actually taught about Israel, the Church, the tribulation, and the millennial kingdom. Together they unpack the literal, grammatical approach to Scripture, Daniel’s 70 Weeks, the future of Israel, replacement theology, and powerful historical evidence showing that many early Christian writers believed in a literal Antichrist, a future tribulation, and even a pre-tribulation catching away of believers.
