Everyone Called, Receives Christ
In regard to the call to salvation in Christ, there’s two forms: First, there’s a general call that goes out to the world via the spoken or written gospel of Jesus Christ. It’s inevitable that there will be many people who hear the words of the gospel message, because the message is going out to the world via […]

Living a Life of Excellence — [Philippians 1:8-11]
In the passage below the Apostle Paul talks about “approving” or seeking the “things that are excellent.” In other words, we’re to seek to live a life of excellence as servants of Christ. Our path of life is to be Christ-centered and characterized by Christ-likeness. (Philippians 1:8-11) – 8 For God is my witness, how I […]
Literally a 1000 Year Kingdom? – “No Compelling Reason” To Doubt It?
I appreciate the Got Questions? website. I think it’s very helpful in answering a lot of questions about the Bible. However, as an Amillennialist, I strongly disagree with their Dispensational Premillennial position. In one of their articles titled, “What is Dispensationalism and is it Biblical?,” they make the following statement about the thousand years of Revelation […]
Ishmael, the Final World Ruler?
I believe the Bible teaches that there will be a worldwide persecution against the Church shortly before the return of Christ, led by a world ruler whom I believe is the “man of lawlessness” of 2 Thessalonians 2. Here, I want to explore the idea that that world ruler will be someone who comes […]
Commentary on Revelation 20:1-10 — [Interpreting the 1000 Years]
All Scripture quotations are from the 1901 American Standard Version unless otherwise noted. Premillennialism: While this position has been losing ground to Amillennialism over the years (as evidence suggests), it’s still probably the most popular eschatological position (esp Dispensational Premillennialism – DP). I talk about this now because we will be dealing with the only passage in […]
What is the 1000 Years of Revelation 20?
All Scripture quotations are from the 1901 American Standard Version unless otherwise noted. (Revelation 20:4-6) — 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such […]
Identifying the Age to Come
Introduction Is the “age to come” a millennial kingdom, where upon the return of Christ He sets up His kingdom on this present earth and rules this world as its King? Or is the “age to come” the Eternal Kingdom (eternal state) of the “new heaven and new earth” (Rev 21:1-2), which we enter directly upon […]
Beware of What’s True Heresy
If you read a lot of articles on theology or if you belong to online theology groups, you’ve surely seen the words “heresy” and “heretics” tossed around, and aimed at fellow believers in Christ. Use of those terms creates a desired effect. It creates the idea that the accuser knows what they’re talking about, and that […]
Christ — The Authority of All
As the creator, God and King, all things are subject to Christ. We live in a world where Christianity is hated, because they hate Jesus and all that He stands for. They hate the authority that He is recognized for by His followers. They hate the idea that He is their authority too. All […]
Is the Eternal Kingdom a Giant Heavenly Cube?
All Scripture quotations are from the 1901 American Standard Version unless otherwise noted. (This is a commentary on Revelation 21) INTRODUCTION The “holy city,” the “New Jerusalem,” is both the Church and the actual eternal city, or Eternal Kingdom….just as we call a church building a church, it’s not actually the church, but it’s the people who […]
