Wow . . . Randy Alcorn on whether or not our pets will be in Heaven:
March 24, 2010 | 
Author I’m not sure if he’s trying to refer to Heaven or the Millennial Kingdom – but, wow . . .
Yeah, I checked Isaiah 60 as well – hhmmm. I suppose all of the camels will be coming from Midian and Ephah; from Sheba as well. I suppose the “You will also suck the milk of nations and suck the breast of Kings” is literal too.
Alcorn’s Heaven, not a book I am running out to buy anytime soon.
At least Greg Laurie doesn’t make it all about himself . . .
Randy Alcorn on pets in heaven
I am not quite sure why I am taking up space with this post, except for the fact that I have heard this A LOT and it is this kind of “over-systematizing” systematic theology that has created a massive catalog of doctrines that crowd out the point. The video could be any number of things, I suppose.

Ezekiel 28 & Interpreting Prophetic Literature
Since we have been “unplugged” the past two weeks, I will bullet some notes for those of you who would be looking for then from the last two classes (3/14&21/2010) in NewLife. Do take note that the examples that we began looking at and the categories we covered are not exhaustive in the process of interpreting prophetic literature, but provide the facts that:
– Interpreting prophetic literature takes though and work
– A look at genre in the Biblical Corpus is important
– The Bible is Its own genre
– The Bible is meant to be understood
– ****Theme point here**** We must interpret prophetic literature literally until the text requires us to interpret it symbolically.
– The book mentioned that could be a help for this is, Interpreting the Prophetic Word by Willem VanGemeren.
