Addendum interview with author/lecturer, Douglas Hamp as we conclude the discussion on his latest project, “The Millennium Chronicles (working title was “Twilight of Eternity”). This show is a total of 40 minutes long as it contains all of the discussion points that we weren’t able to fit into the 3 previous episodes. Here, Doug delves into the Jewish temple sacrifices of the past and how they will pertain to the New Kingdom (The 1,000 year global reign of Jesus – a time where neither war nor weapons are allowed).
Part 2 of 3 interview with author/lecturer Douglas Hamp as we discuss his latest project “Twilight of Eternity” focusing on the second coming, the Millenial Kingdom and final battle.
A Graphic New Look at the Second Coming and Armageddon:
•What are the conditions of the Earth before Jesus comes?
•How do the heavens pass away?
•What happens to the earth at Jesus’ fiery return?
•Where is the Battle of Armageddon?
•How will Jesus fight when he comes back?
Millennium:
If the earth is destroyed and the heavens pass away at the second coming of Jesus, then what will there be during the Millennium? What is the beloved city that Satan will attack after the thousand years? Why is the New Jerusalem called the bride of Christ? These and questions are answered in this teaching Power Point presentation!
The Final Rebelliion:
Douglas examines the Scriptural clues of Satan’s final rebellion when the 1000 years have expired and he and the nations come up against the beloved city. Further clues considered to unlock this strange passage:
•The bodies and role of immortals
•How will high tech be low tech?
•How will the Millennial sacrifices act like a protective shield for the mortals?
•Will mortals have a one hundred year grace period?
•How will the river of life and the tree of life transform mortals?
•How long will Satan have to deceive the nations?
•Why will fire come from God?
Messianic Age: The Millennium and Beyond ($30 value – free)
Much of our eschatology rightly deals with the events that lead up to the Second Coming of Jesus. However, little attention is given to looking at the events that happen thereafter. This class explores from a very Bible-centric perspective the Messianic Age / Millennium. We begin by understanding how taking God’s Word literally reveals many exciting details of our glorious future. We also look at: the centrality of Israel, our future bodies, aspects of daily life, the size of the City, the decorations of the city, God’s dwelling with mankind, the role of the river of life and trees of life, what the Rabbis and Church Fathers thought about the Millennium, when the creation of the New Heavens and New Earth occurs. This 2 credit class was taught at Calvary Chapel bible College.
We often think of heaven as some ethereal place far far away. But while modern science is beginning to discover the possibilities of multiples dimensions at places like CERN, Bible scholars like Douglas Hamp are rediscovering what the Bible teaches about heaven to be a place just beyond the veil of our three dimensional world. Douglas Hamp is a graduate of Hebrew University of Jerusalem with an M.A. in the Hebrew Bible with specialization in ancient languages including Biblical Hebrew and Koine Greek. He is currently working on a fictional book looking at the Millennium reign of Jesus on earth. In our conversation, Doug brings to light the many descriptive matters in the Bible like fire and the veil that have become “theologized” by modern day Christian institutions.
Who are the Nephilim? What does it mean when the Bible says “they came into the daughters of men” and “they bore children to them”, if it is not talking about sex?There are all kinds of problems with thinking that either:
1) demons can create human bodies for them to indwell (only God can create ex nihilo), or 2) demons possessing humans can somehow infuse their demonic nature into the person’s sperm so that the offspring is half-demon (demons are spirits with no physical body or DNA to pass on).
2 Pet 2:4 and Jude 1:6 are quite graphic about the angels that didn’t keep the proper domain and abandoned their own habitation – this is the same word that Paul uses in 2 Cor 5:2 to talk about our new bodies. So, angels did in fact put off their “spiritual” body and took on some form of flesh. How they did that we don’t know – but they are a lot smarter than us.
Basically, there’s no way for fallen angels (demons) to mate with women and procreate “demon offspring.” First, they are unable to materialize a human body out of nothing in order to have physical relations (only God can create ex nihilo). Even if a demon could inhabit a man’s body by “possessing” him, mating would only pass along the man’s DNA; it couldn’t pass along any “demon DNA” since (as a spiritual being) it doesn’t have any!
Another major assumption. How does this person know that they don’t have DNA? What is DNA? At its core, it is information.
Carl Kerby’s newsletter mentioned different views on this, including “the view that fallen angels mated with the daughters of men to produce extremely wicked and powerful offspring, which led to the extreme wickedness of Noah’s day.” His summary point is that God judged them in that day, just as He judges wickedness in our day. But, if God judged the extremely wicked people (creatures?) of that day by destroying them all in the Flood . . . then who are the giants we see later? That view also sort of elevates man, in suggesting that the population was “extremely wicked” only because it was half-demon–rather than acknowledging that man needs no help to be unbelievably wicked all on his own.Anyway, demons are bodiless spirits. So since it just isn’t possible for demons to create human/demon offspring, then obviously we need to look for another explanation, one that’s consistent with Scripture. Humans reproduce only after their own kind, and demons simply cannot create human bodies or procreate. No “Rosemary’s baby”! There are not human/demonic creatures walking among us, because Jesus said “a spirit does not have flesh and bones,” and also our battle is not “against flesh and blood, but against …spiritual hosts of wickedness.”
I address these questions in more detail on the show.
SPECULATION ABOUT the prophesied Mark of the Beast often focuses on some type of ID tag or tracking technology, such as the controversial Verichip subdermal RFID implant.
What if the mark is not a piece of hardware but a genetic marker — a change to the DNA of the willing recipient? Doug Hamp, author of Corrupting the Image and co-host of According to the Scriptures Radio, explains why he believes the mark, without which it will be impossible to buy or sell in the End Times, could be a change in the source code of what makes us human.
