Video Interview with Creation Today's Eric Hovind

On January 18th, our CEO and co-founder, Pastor Jim Milligan, had the opportunity to be a part of an interview with Creation Today's president, Eric Hovind. In this 34-minute dialogue, Eric and Pastor Jim walk through how important it is for us as Christians to study the Word of God and how Blue Letter Bible facilitates that.

Pastor Jim made this statement regarding the importance of Scripture: "If I were going to go on a trip…I would do a little bit of research. Well, I'm going to spend eternity with Christ in a heavenly kingdom. And I want to know a little bit about it. I can find that, and I can learn about it." The Bible is what informs us about the world around us. It is how we grow in our understanding and knowledge of God. It clearly states our fallen nature and lays out God's plan of redemption through history. There is no greater book, no greater story, and no greater guide to life than the Bible.

Biblical prophecy has been one of the most difficult areas of theology for Christians to grasp over the years. One of the most famous prophecies in Scripture is the 70 weeks in Daniel. Many different interpretations of this section of Scripture have been suggested throughout history from various theological viewpoints. However, one of the most renowned historical works on this section is from Sir Robert Anderson, titled The Coming Prince. And we are excited to offer this resource on BLB.

In the original 1885 preface to the work, Anderson states, "It seems to be an axiom with many commentators that the prophetic Scriptures never mean precisely what they say; and the same license which is deemed legitimate in interpreting Scripture is used also when the facts of history are adduced as the fulfillment of it."

Anderson makes clear his stance that biblical prophecies are often far more literal than many Christians give them credit for. This view sets Anderson apart from his contemporaries, allowing him to pen a unique volume, where he focuses on the life and time of Daniel before zeroing in on the end of chapter 9.
