The Prophets of God Experience Layoffs The prophets exercised a unique function in Israel, primarily to teach the law of God as delivered to Moses, but also to issue warnings and call forth the judgments contained within the law when people refused to obey it. A major part of the role of the prophet was that of [...]

The Jewish Prophets The Jewish prophets, often imitated but never duplicated belong to a class all to themselves. They were unique and of limited duration. It is common for some to claim to be prophets today, i.e. inspired men and women who’s word hold’s equal rank to those written in scripture. Nevertheless the Jewish prophets saw [...]

What is the Rapture? Study shows definition of three views of the Rapture and their relationship to one common teaching of Scripture. The very term used by which the Rapture teaching is defined creates problems with both the definition and the likelihood of the rapture occurrence.

The year 2012 is dawning upon us and with it will be more speculation on the end of the world. In today’s podcast we present some of the reasons why 2012 will be another year as the previous as far as the end of the world as we know it is concerned. The End of [...]

Israel was blind-sided by the righteousness of God. We cannot charge the failure with God. He published his message throughout the entire land during the first century evangelism campaign of the Apostles. However, as Paul explained what happened to Israel in Romans 11 and 2 Cor. 4:4. For those of the remnant who accepted the righteousness [...]

As history would prove, the time of judgment has arrived for Israel. In September, the UN may decide upon the statehood of the Palestinian people. This could prove disastrous for Israel at least President Obama thinks so. Should Israel seek peace or continue their aggression and occupation of Palestinian land? Some have opposed the President for [...]

In Isaiah 56, Isaiah prophesied of the coming kingdom of God. He saw the time when all nations would come into the kingdom of God. What is unique is that the northern kingdom, foreigners and Eunuchs were all considered outcasts. Yet, God would bring them all into the body of Christ and allow them to [...]

What is the role of eschatology and the local church especially in the light of the fulfillment of all things in the first century? Does the local church play a meaningful role?

How should we understand the statement of the Lord which says Christ is coming on the clouds? Is this a literal visible coming of the Lord? Are these literal clouds? Many believe that Jesus will one day descend from heaven. Today’s study investigates this topic and raises some very important questions.  It begins with a [...]

The relationship of eschatology and “the faith” is quite interesting. It shows there is an objective reality to “the faith.” This is the meaning of what Paul says is “one faith.” This faith is directly related to the fulfillment of Christ’s coming. In Galatians it was the “the faith being about to be revealed” meaning [...]

Why  should anyone be concerned with population control if we have an end of the world 2012 event? Scientists concerned about the rise in population in the year 2050 seek solutions for the expected 10 billion people who occupy the earth’s real estate.

Birth Pangs of the New Creation The analogy of the birth pangs in Romans 8, demonstrate very clearly that the last days events of resurrection, the coming of the Lord and birth of the new nation or creation was imminent. Dispensationalists skew the meaning of the text by focusing on geopolitical and socioeconomic events of the [...]

People believe that we are living in the perilous times of the Bible. They are taking cues from the earthquakes in Haiti, bad weather, and other catatrophes. Israel is a central focus of politics and Iran becomes the scapegoat. The world is anxious and scrambling for answers. All they get are more doom and gloom [...]

Predestination has been misunderstood from the perspective of the Bible. It is believed that to foreordain and predestine focuses on individuals rather than class or group. Paul has much to say about the Jews as the elect of God who were predestined for salvation. He also allowed the latitude of those who said, “we will [...]

Today’s podcast completes our study from the day before on the seed of Abraham. Both lessons should be studied together to get the full impact of the message. It should become very clear as Abraham’s lineage is traced that he has no physical descendants who were to inherit the promises through him. Study carefully the [...]

The subject of the resurrection and inheriting the kingdom of God focuses on the status of Christians as true covenant sons of God. Resurrection is about sons whose privilege through faith entitles them to the inheritance in the kingdom of God. This is why Christ refers to them as “sons of the resurrection.” On the other [...]

Is it wrong for a Christian to wear tattoos? We have done a series of brief studies on this subject. Our approach was to examine the statements in the Law of Moses, particularly Leviticus 19:28. Fulfilled eschatology suggests that the Law of Moses was fulfilled in A.D. 70. This means that applications based merely upon [...]

This is the second of our installment on tattoos? The question before us is, is it a sin to wear tattoos? We are going to approach this study by taking a step back to examine how we apply the Law of Moses to our dietary laws today. In other words, this may provide insights into [...]
