The separation of the dominion mandate from the fruitfulness mandate sowed the seeds of the breach that was to come upon the nation of Israel after the death of Solomon. Solomon may have been the wisest man that ever lived, but he was not mature enough in his character to use his wisdom wisely...

There are two parts to the birthright given to Adam in the beginning. They are the dominion mandate and the fruitfulness mandate. The dominion mandate is given in Gen. 1:26, 26 Then God said, Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule [Heb. radah, “to have...

It is extremely important for us to recognize that no man is born with a "sinful soul" or a "sin nature." In Romans 5:12 Paul explains this principle very clearly, though many church theologians have missed it:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through...

Let’s get the facts:1st Peter 3:20-2120 who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through {the} water.21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not...

When God covenanted with Abraham, He gave the inheritance of the Kingdom to him and to his seed. Then He instituted another covenant under Moses to delay the inheritance until such time as the people learned obedience.But there is another, more universal level of meaning to this story. God chose...

The Bible records a number of covenants, but there are two covenants that deal directly with man's salvation. They are commonly called the Old and New Covenants. The Old Covenant was instituted through Moses, who was its "mediator." The New Covenant was mediated by Jesus.The Old Covenant made...

The Pentecostal Christians of the first century had succeeded where Israel had failed at Mount Sinai, for they had the faith to go to the upper room to see Pentecost fulfilled. Nevertheless, they needed endurance in this new way in order to have the faith to fulfill the feast of Tabernacles...

When we learn to view all things through the eyes of God, then will we truly know Him. The true knowledge of God begins with a recognition of His sovereignty. The more we know Him, the more sovereign He seems to be. The less we know Him, the more sovereign man seems to be.Elsewhere in Paul's...

The covenant with Abraham was to establish THROUGH WHOM the Kingdom of God would spread throughout the earth. With Abraham, God began a new method of operation in the earth. He “elected” and began to form His own nation, designated as the means by which “all the families of the earth” would be...

Jesus and the disciples preached a message called "the Gospel of the Kingdom." Matt. 9:35 says,"And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the Kingdom..."It is related to, but not the same message as, the gospel of personal...

From the beginning, the earth has been man's inheritance under God. God owns the earth by right of creation, but He was the Creator, not the inheritor. To be an inheritor, one must receive it from another who has died. Since God had no predecessor, it cannot strictly be said that the earth is...

Rebellious man does not believe that there is a God who will judge his actions and hold him accountable for his oppression. All men have gods. Even an “atheist” is one who worships himself as a god, for he recognizes no higher authority than himself and his own well-being. Psalm 10:6-13, 6 He...

Yet the Bible shows that God has always held man liable for sin as well. On what legal ground? Because man has God-given authority in the earth (Gen. 1:26). Thus, in the law, if a man goes on a journey and entrusts his property to a neighbor for safe keeping, and if that property is destroyed or...

In Lev. 25:23 we see that man's land could not be sold permanently. He had the authority to sell it only until the year of Jubilee. The Jubilee placed a limit upon man's use of God's land. Man is made of the dust of the ground (LAND) (Gen. 2:7), and so our bodies are part of His “land.” We have...

As Creator, God's will is sovereign. As Creator of heaven and earth, He OWNS all things. In Lev. 25:23 the law says that “the land shall not be sold permanently,” because God OWNS it by right of creation. Yet each tribe and family in Israel had certainly been given authority over their portion...

“The bottomless pit is the Vanity (EVIL) in (Romans 8:20). Let me explain.Vanity, according to Webster, is: excessive pride, conceit, lack ofusefulness, worthlessness, something vain or futile. According to theGreek, it means: depravity, empty, profitless, idol, vain, through the ideaof...

We are called to get to know the God of the Bible, so that we begin to comprehend Him and the way He thinks by the mind of the Spirit. This is often difficult, especially the more evil we see and the more that bad things happen to us personally. Our perspective is simply too limited, too...
