Faith in and Love toward – very short If Jesus claimed the honor due God, we would expect to find the Bible explicitly according him most, if not all, of the forms of honor that it accords to God. We already have seen that the Bible teaches us to honor Jesus by glorifying him, by worshiping...

Worship of Christ After it is made clear in Matthew that Jesus regarded God as the only proper object of worship (proskuneo), it is striking that Jesus appears so frequently in the same Gospel to be the object of worship (2:2, 11; 8:2; 9:18; 14:33; 15:25; 20:20; 28:9, 17), even if in the...

Deity of Christ, Part 1 (The Cumulative Argument) I am going to present 5 reasons for the deity of Christ in this and the next several posts. I will try to keep them short since mm in this forum don’t want to read more than a page or two. The first topic we will look at is the HONOR Jesus is...

The dates used in this post are to be understood as approximates. To start with the conclusion, Jesus was crucified on April 3, 33 AD. This prophecy has a start date and an end date. The start date is in the 20th year of Artaxerxes reign, this is found in the OT Book Nehemiah. The prophecy is...

The Rapture begins the Day of the Lord along with the tribulation period so that the events of the tribulation, the second advent, and the millennium are all included within the scope of the Day of the Lord. The term Day of the Lord occurs in the following passages: Isaiah 2:12; 13:6, 9...

In 2 Corinthians 5:10 and Romans 14:10, although in the latter passage the corrected reading is “judgment seat of God,” it is stated that believers are to be brought into an examination before the Son of God. This event is explained in more detail in 1 Corinthians 3:9-15. A matter of such...

The Antichrist will not be revealed until the Church has been Raptured. All the religions of the world will combine into a solidarity under him. The “God of his fathers” could apply to either a Gentile or Jew. If a Gentile, then this simply means his ancestors were Christians. This is the...

The word rapture is found in the Bible in Paul’s writings, more than once. Those who claim the word Rapture does not appear in the Bible have no biblical basis for such a claim. The rapture is defined as a single event, whereas apostasy is a process that has no definable beginning and end. An...

PreTrib within Dispensationalism, some pre-argument thoughts Pretribulation rapturism rests essentially on one major premise—the literal method of interpretation of the Scriptures. As a necessary adjunct to this, the pretribulationist believes in a dispensational interpretation of the Word of...

I wrote this in Word and then cut and paste. So, no need to complain about the structure. Post Trib arguments and comments A. The historical argument. There are several major arguments on which the posttribulationist rests his case. The first of these is the historical argument. His...

The millennial kingdom is declared to be a literal, earthly kingdom over which Christ rules from David’s throne in fulfillment of the Davidic covenant (2 Sam. 7:8-17; Matt. 1:1; Luke 1:32). This kingdom is the subject of Old Testament prophecy (2 Sam. 7:8-17; Isa. 9:6-7; 11:1-16; Jer. 23:5...

I am a Gentile Christian. I do not relate to Jesus as my King but my Spouse. Jesus is the King of Israel. So, Jesus is a King, but not my King. I relate to Jesus as my Savior, Spouse, and Son of God (God's Son). The Kingship of Christ is not the case with Gentile Christians/Spouses.

There are several Raptures mentioned in the Bible, such as 1. Enoch (Gen 5:21-24; Heb 11:5) 2. Elijah (2 Kings 2:11) 3. Jesus’ Ascension (Acts 1:9-11) 4. Church Age Saints (1Thes 4:13-18) 5. The Two Witnesses in the Middle of the Tribulation (Rev. 11:3-12) 6. Tribulation Believers (Rev...

The New Covenant The new covenant guarantees Israel a converted heart as the foundation of all her blessings. According to the Old Testament principle that such a conversion can not be affected permanently without the shedding of blood, this covenant necessitates a sacrifice, acceptable to...

A definition of covenants A divine covenant is (1) a disposition of God, whereby he establishes an unconditional or declarative compact with man, obligating himself, in grace, by the formula, “I WILL,” to bring to pass of himself definite blessings for the covenanted ones, or (2) a proposal of...

καὶ ἐξαλείψει πᾶν δάκρυον ἐκ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ὁ θάνατος οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι, οὔτε πένθος οὔτε κραυγὴ οὔτε πόνος οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι· [ὅτι] τὰ πρῶτα ἀπῆλθαν. "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed...

What are some of the differences when Christ appeared as a man in the OT compared to appearing as a man in the NT?

Rev 4.4 is the first mention of the 24 elders and they represent the Church based on their description. 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone...

Daniel's 70th seven (of years) is recorded in Dan 9.27 where we are told that mid way through this time (3 1/2 years) of trouble he (the Antichrist) will bring an end to sacrifices and offerings. So, the 70th seven is divided into two halves. In Revelation we are told that half of the 70th seven...
