John Walvoord war ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Theologe und langjähriger Präsident des Dallas Theological Seminary im 20. Jahrhundert. Er profilierte sich als führender Systematiker des Dispensationalismus sowie einer buchstäblichen Auslegung biblischer Prophetie, stieß mit dieser heilsgeschichtlichen Aufteilung jedoch auf Kritik aus der reformierten Bundestheologie. Für Bibelleser sind seine Kommentare bis heute ein zentraler Bezugspunkt für das Verständnis prämillennialistischer Endzeittheologie.

Quotes by John Walvoord
In prayer we can approach God with complete assurance of His ability to answer us. There is no limit to what we can ask, if it is according to His will.
John Walvoord
Scripture never challenges the concept that eternal punishment is by literal fire. Objections have to be on philosophic or theological grounds rather than on an exegetical one.
John Walvoord
One is faced with the fact that the only place one can prove absolutely that God is a God of love and grace is from Scripture. If one accepts the doctrine of God’s love and grace as revealed in the Bible, how can that person question, then, that the same Bible teaches eternal punishment?
John Walvoord
The problem here is the obvious lack of understanding of the infinite nature of sin as contrasted to the infinite righteousness of God. If the slightest sin is infinite in its significance, then it also demands infinite punishment as a divine judgment. Though it is common for all Christians to wish that there were some way out of the doctrine of eternal punishment because of its inexorable and unyielding revelation of divine judgment, one must rely in Christian faith on the doctrine that God is a God of infinite righteousness and well as infinite love. While on the one hand He bestows infinite grace to those who trust Him, He must, on the other hand, inflict eternal punishment on those who spurn His grace.
