Contrasts and Comparisons in Hebrews

Here are seventy samples, as set forth in the Book of Hebrews and the New Testament. When only chapter and verse are given, the reference is in the book of Hebrews.

Chronology of the Old Testament

All dates in this chronology are B.C. (before Christ).  Many dates are “circa” (approximate), and opinions vary dramatically.

Chronology of the First Century

Inasmuch as the Biblical chronology of the first century is uncertain, all dates are circa and may vary. However, most competent scholars agree the books of the New Testament were written in the order seen here.

Pretribulationism

The Rapture occurs before (pre) the Tribulation. It is the only view that teaches the imminence of His return.

Premillennialism

This view holds that the Second Coming occurs before the Millennium – and that Jesus personally returns to earth to inaugurate it.

Postmillennialism

This theory holds that Christ’s Second Coming occurs after the “Millennial Era”.

Midtribulationism

According to this heretical fantasy, the Rapture occurs half-way through the Tribulation.
