The harlot in Revelation 17 is Jerusalem of Jesus' day

Sam had asked concerning the problem’s with Gerstner’s Wrongly Dividing the Word of Truth. Rather than reinventing the wheel and taking up entirely too much space, the following two articles do a good job at addressing some of the issues. I would disagree with the reviewer at the end of the second article regarding the Lordship of Christ, which goes even farther towards showing Gerstner’s misrepresentation of dispensationalism. These articles total about 30 pages or so and point out a number of the problems with Gerstner’s approach. If after reading these articles, someone wants to discuss any of the issues I will be more than happy to interact.

Additionally of interest, vol 10 #2 of the Grace Theological Journal (Fall 1989) continues the papers and proceedings of the Dispensational Study Group that meets prior to the ETS. This volume addresses Poythress’s book Understanding Dispensationalists and contains Poythress’s responses to the papers presented. Again, this will prove a good resource for those interested in finding out more about the differences between DT and CT.
