Dr. Couch, I hear you talking about Dispensational Apologetics. What is that?
ANSWER: Basically, it refers tying the entire Bible
together, including prophecy, the Abrahamic Covenant, God’s working
presently with Israel, as we present the gospel. You cannot separate the
complete plan of the Bible from the fact of the personal gospel of
salvation in Christ. He is Israel’s King though he is not presently
reigning on the earthly throne of David. Fulfilling prophecy, the Jews
are now returning to the “Promised Land” in unbelief. This fact of
history is currently happening right now. As I witness about Christ and
about forgiveness of sins, the fact of His coming reign and kingship
must be mentioned.
This is a new approach to traditional
apologetics that generally in the past simply focused on the gospel. But
I believe we have moved into a new stage. It is time to speak of Christ
in witnessing as the Lamb and the Lion, His Salvation and His coming
earthly Kingdom reign! The two go together; they are not to be
separated. And, part of my new emphasis on apologetics is the fact that
the church is right now moving rapidly into the apostasy as prophesied.
The rapture of the church is next.
Thanks for asking,
Mal Couch, Ph.D., Th.D.
