Urgent times call for urgent measures. The Last Days are like that. To the Jews (even of Jesus’ day), they were looking for a great political leader who would vindicate their people toward the conclusion of earthly time. But earthly time wasn’t ending quite as quickly as they thought because God had something better planned. […]
Hebrews 1:1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom also He made the universe.3 The Son is the radiance of […]
In the Letter to the Hebrews, the author sets out to encourage Jewish believers in Messiah Jesus Christ that what they felt like were missing from their traditions wasn’t really missing out at all. It was an upgrade. The Jewish believers loved their prophets and their Scriptures and held a nostalgic feeling for them. I […]
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 […]
