The Gospel of Matthew & the Demise of Israel - Dr. Kenneth L. Gentry, Jr.

Dr. Kenneth L. Gentry exposits the gospel of Matthew, and refutes the dispensationalist view of Israel.

This lecture is from the 2008 Nicene Council Conference on Reformed Theology, Against Dispensationalism: Israel, the Church, & Bible Prophecy.

Is the dispensational hermeneutic a literal hermeneutic? What is the supposed 'law of first mention?' Who is true Israel? How does one become a Jew? Was the formation of the 'new' state of Israel in 1948 a fulfillment of Bible prophecy? Does the Bible teach that there is a future temple yet to be built? Has dispensationalism broken continuity with the Word of God and Church history? Has dispensationalism in its history taught different ways of salvation?

NiceneCouncil.com's 2008 Conference, Against Dispensationalism: Israel, the Church, & Bible Prophecy, was held October 4-5, and the conference DVD features Kenneth L. Gentry, Jr. (Th.D.), Kenneth G.
