Are you saying that Christians who die today will not be resurrected until the last day? Yes. Jesus said that everyone that the Father has given Him will be drawn to Him and raised at the ‘last day’, not sooner. Like any Jewish believer of the time, Martha’s response shows […]
Restitution of All Things
This verse has long fascinated me. I find the words “must” and “all” most compelling. Could you elaborate and shed more light? “Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world […]
Untenable Tenets of the Dispensational System
It is not the new birth, or even special empowerment by the Spirit that dispensationalists deny to the saints of the tribulation. How could they? They see well enough the power of the two witnesses and the mighty exploits that are being accomplished by the maskilim of Dan 11:32-33, 12:3, […]
A Son Perfected Through Suffering: A Purified Bride Translated and Caught Up
Sometime back, I did a short essay called, “Where God is Taking the Church” I believe it touched on this question: Do you guys have anything on the the theme of testing/purification/refining of the saints during the great tribulation and the end of the age in general? In contrast to […]
The 4th Beast of Daniel 8
I would love to know your thoughts on the Islamic Caliphate (700 ad) as the the fourth beast of Daniel rather than the traditional interpretation of Rome. I have a different take on the nature of the beast kingdoms. I see them as a generic continuity of the kingdom of […]
Israel Today and Everlasting Security in the Land
I’m very interested in the overall impression that you will get while there [in Israel]. One thing is for sure, like you said, “So much going on in the Spirit that is so intense over here.” Just like when a child of God is out of order and God will […]
How Faith in Jesus Fulfills the Law Once and Forever
My own view is that vital regeneration puts one in the New or Everlasting covenant, which is the sure and continuous fulfillment of the standard of righteousness required under the law for life and blessing. The righteousness of the New covenant is the righteousness of Jesus indwelling the believer though […]
The Timing of Ezekiel 38 and 39
Ezek.38 and 39 is on the spot now. I can see that is about what happens in the end of the tribulation. But 38 is little confusing; is this in the end of millennium? What are your thoughts about that? Because of its parallel in essence and character, I believe […]
More Thoughts on the Law
We started a study on Galatians here and I watched the first part of your Galatians study. At some point you say smthg like “The Law is related to the flesh”, which 9ch is profoundly true. This is why Paul uses the metaphor of the dead old nature and says […]
Old Testament Proofs of Messiah’s Rejection by His Own
When I noticed Isa 49:7 was not listed in this brother’s fine work charting Messiah’s rejection, particularly by His own nation (see 1st link above), I immediately suspected that it has suffered the same fate in translation as Isa 49:5. I knew it would only take a slight pluralizing of the singular, or some such adroit, ever so slight (perhaps even technically permissible) alteration, to obscure entirely the import and implication, so not surprised…
