George Wilkins’ Book Explains Why Shepherd's Chapel Gets It Wrong

Welcome back! Today, we’re discussing The History of the Destruction of Jerusalem, as Connected with the Scripture Prophecies by George Wilkins, a must-read for anyone overly focused on end-times prophecy. Wilkins examines the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., demonstrating how these historical events align with New Testament prophecies, particularly those spoken by Jesus. In Matthew 24:2, Jesus predicted the city’s downfall, which Wilkins explores in detail, highlighting the political and social chaos of the time. The Jewish rejection of Jesus and Scripture’s warnings culminated in the destruction of Jerusalem, fulfilling God’s Word and serving as a sobering reminder of the consequences of turning from the truth.

Unfortunately, Shepherd’s Chapel teachings, like those in The Beast #1 and Don’t Argue with Satan, focus excessively on end-times prophecy, overshadowing the gospel of grace. By emphasizing works and speculative interpretations, they mislead believers and stray from biblical truths. This misdirection stems from a lack of historical and theological understanding—a widespread issue, yet one Arnold Murray’s generation could have avoided with better resources like Wilkins’ book.

False teaching is dangerous. Salvation is by grace, not works (Ephesians 2:8-9). Let’s focus on truth and the gospel’s central message. Stay tuned for part two, where we’ll explore more from Wilkins’ compelling work!
