No. We are not in the Millennial Kingdom. We’re not even at the Rapture yet. With that out of the way, let’s take a final multi-part look at how Jews and Christians are heirs together…in a way that coheres with Scripture. “This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, […]
. Now we come to a controversial part of Ezekiel 37, even more than who constitutes the “whole house of Israel.” Ezekiel 37:22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or […]
Continuing our look at Jews and Christians being heirs together though the finished work of Jesus Christ, Ezekiel gives us another word about unity. Ezekiel 37:15 The word of the LORD came to me: 16 “Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, ‘Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with […]
God sees. Hopelessness and despair are feelings we get when we’re exhausted mentally and physically from the battle, tired of a fight we seem to be losing, and end up feeling abandoned, cut off from anyone who helps. We’re on our own, and we discover that we’re not enough. Ever felt that way? The nation of […]
God’s army won’t come to existence by itself. What God promises, He builds, and what He builds, He will finish. Ezekiel 37:4 Then [the LORD] said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: […]
A picture of people far from God. Dry bones. Dry bones of the Church. Dry bones of Israel. People who once knew and experienced the wonder of an Almighty God who is “for them.” But that was while they were still faithful and knew the living water. But then they decided–maybe not with a vote, […]
What is a Christian to do in a world increasingly governed by sin? The Bible has something to say about that. Are you being accused or insulted by arrogant people? Psalm 119:85 “The arrogant dig pits to trap me, contrary to your law. 86 All your commands are trustworthy;” Are you being persecuted without cause? […]
The wrath of God is coming. It’s only a matter of time now. One needs only to look at the opening ceremony of the Olympics to understand we’re in trouble. You see perverted people, giddy with their sinful display, mocking their Maker, and flaunting their sin for the entire world to see. Worse, they’re living […]
Since I last wrote during Passover, there were campus protests on the grounds of many major universities. Commencement traditions have been canceled, scaled back, and held with heightened security. There are now students who have been encouraged to flee for their safety or offered virtual learning. Some are demanding refunds of their tuition or alumni are […]
We’re in the midst of Passover, a time when the Jewish people remember that God set them apart. I don’t know why people fail to understand that this wasn’t just until Jesus came, as preeminently important as that was. I am astonished, and not in a good way, at what’s happening with antisemitism on college […]
