New Articles Coming Soon

5:50 PM | Posted by Rhema | Edit Post
Soon The Covenant Messenger will resume publishing new articles related to the topic of fulfilled Bible prophecy.  During the decade of the 1990's many subscribers awaited anxiously to receive each edition of the magazine.  This was in the days before the explosion of growth took place as thousands from around the world were coming into contact with Covenant Eschatology.  These were exciting days as believers met together in conferences and in small group Bible studies.  Entire churches were affected by the message as ministers, elders and Bible Class teachers were beginning to learn the truth.

Today, the electronic media is the best option to communicate will people immediately.  We hope that our former readers will once again join with the next "generation" of Preterists raising their voices in praise and adoration of God.

History

On September 15, 1992 the very first issue of The Covenant Messenger was published by Past-Tense Publications from Pinole, CA. Larry D. Siegle and Rick Calvert, both fomer graduates of Memphis School of Preaching, worked together as Co-Editors in launching one of the preterist movements pioneer magazines.

This small offering of just 4 pages, later expanded to 16 pages joined the ranks of other outstanding periodicals of the time such as Kingdom Counsel, published by Edward E. Stevens and The Living Presence, edited by Max R. King. Within just a few short years thousands of copies of these magazines had reached the hearts of thousands, each with its own unique venue in proclaiming what was then most commonly referred to as "Covenant Eschatology"--the teaching that the coming of the Lord, the resurrection of the dead and the judgment had been fully realized in the events related to the destruction of the temple and the fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.

This blog represents a "revival" of this once cherished publication in the hopes that those articles written more than 16 years ago will once again reach the hearts and minds of honest students of the word of God. In addition to those offerings written during the "early years" when the number of preterists were few, fresh new perspectives will be added in the hopes of continuing in the tradition of the spirit of that which was first published in the original issues of The Covenant Messenger. The original purpose of The Covenant Messager remains unchanged: "...to provide a fresh approach to Bible study. With all of the problems that loom on the horizon for distressed humanity, it is the goal of this publication to point to the way of freedom that can only be found in the restored presence of God now made possible through the benefits of the everlasting New Covenant."

The writers claim for themselves no enlightenment or sense of Divine inspiration, only that they would remain ever faithful to "the faith which was once for all time delivered to the saints" (Jude 3), in proclaiming the "whole counsel of God" (Acts 20:27). In defense of preterist teaching may our quest for truth stand always firm on the foundation and determination to "prove all things, hold fast that which is good" (I Thess. 5:21).

To those within the preterist movement whose efforts were to blaze the trail for all who would someday follow in their steps, this work is dedicated.
