The age of which he spoke is the age in which we now live, not the end of the world or the day of the early church.
RC Sproul is blinded by the same anti-semitism as the Roman Catholic Church is. That is what replaced the early church in the fourth century. Luther had the same bias, so it continued through the early reformation unabated.
Look around at what you see. I always thought that the U.S. would never be a part of any tyrannical antichrist regeime, but Obama hates Christ almost as much as he hates freedom.
I do not believe in replacement theology. I believe that all the promises made to the Jews will be given to the Jews. Jesus made it very clear in the Olivet discourse that at the end of the age (aeion) the temple would be destroyed, the Jews scattered, and Jerusalem trampled by the Gentiles for a while. However, in the Day of the Lord, God will intervene, save them from destruction, and they will recognize him. I have read and listened to R.C. Sproul for at least 15 years and have never heard anything remotely approaching anti-Semitism come from his mouth.
I won't go into eschatological discussions here. Reasonable persons can and do disagree. The main point is that, one day, Jesus will come again and believers alive in those days will join him in the air. I so look forward to that day!

I agree with you wholeheartedly. We are entering a period where the sheep will be separated from the goats. I fear that our country will turn against Israel. At that point, God will completely remove his protective hand from us. Those who refuse to go against Israel may suffer intense persecution. We know our shepherd's voice and will follow him unto death if it is God's will.
If we don't meet on earth, I look forward to joining you in heaven. We'll have much to discuss. We can both certainly agree that we will hold fast to the faith and endure the race until the end. We will place any crowns that we receive at the feet of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
