Duncan Heaster on the Contingent Nature of Eschatological Prophecies

Duncan Heaster, a leading Christadelphian apologist, has an interesting paper comparing and contrasting various Old Testament eschatological texts, showing that many of their elements are contingent in nature. For those of us interested in the topic of the nature of foreknowledge, as well as eschatology, this should add some food for thought.

While I strongly disagree (putting it mildly) with Heaster (and Christadelphia as a whole) on issues such as Christology, Satan and Demons, and many other topics, he and other Christadelphian authors have done a good job on eschatology, such as pre-millennialism (cf. Peter J. Southgate, The Temple of the Future Age: A Study of the Closing Chapters of the Prophecy of Ezekiel).
