Continuing my themes of Jesus as our Jewish Messiah (from last year’s Advent) and the series on the mystery of how Jews and Gentiles are heirs together in Christ, I invite you to join me in a study of the Letter to the Hebrews, one of three New Testament books/letters designed to relate to the […]
If you believe the statistics, some US Christians will sit on their hands instead of voting in the upcoming elections. I’ve known a few of these types in my life, their motto is, “Muh principles!” Not wanting to get their hands dirty by participating in such a worldly and political process as voting or soiling […]
At this point in Revelation, with God’s Church safely off the earth, the nations of Gog and Magog will descend like a cloud upon peaceful Israel (in the Great Battle of Ezekiel 38-39). Israel, it is written, is recovered from war, has been gathered to the mountains of Israel and is living in safety. Time […]
The Church has not replaced the Jews, whom Scripture says will someday look upon the One they have pierced and mourn. Before they are delivered (importantly!) by faith as Paul indicates with grafting back in (Romans 11:17-32), there will be a sign and a seal. Revelation 12:1 “A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman […]
On earth, those people remaining (none of whom had been raptured or had their bodies changed) would be those left behind. They also were not in the antichrist’s (beast’s) army that already died and were food for the birds, but were others, maybe fence-sitters or absent from the scene in the rest of the unbelieving […]
Now, with that uncomfortable topic of Tribulation Martyrs out of the way, we can be consistent in saying all believers (Jew and Gentile heirs together) will no longer be “flesh and blood.” They will not marry. They will not have kids in the Millennium. They all reign with Christ for a thousand years. So, who […]
Last time we saw that at the Rapture, bodies of believers from all generations will rise. They will also be changed. “So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable…I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the […]
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 […]
