Systems of Theology — [What I Believe]
Introduction There are three primary systems of theology by which Christians understand and explain the Scriptures, especially in regard to how the Old and New Testaments relate to each other. It’s a science or a means by which we interpret the Bible (hermeneutic) and put it all together where the pieces are in harmony […]
Israel of the New Covenant in Christ
I want to give you a brief example of how God’s promises to Israel are fulfilled in the New Covenant. The promises to ethnic Israel were always looking ahead to Christ and His Church. The Promised Land of the OT was only a type and shadow of the Promised Land of the New Heaven and New […]
Does God Bless America Because It Blesses Israel?
Whenever Israel comes under attack from one of their enemies (such as is happening as I write this), you will see Christians on social media encouraging others to pray for Israel or pray for the peace of Israel. Why? Not that this isn’t a good thing. Of course it is. But why do they request prayer […]
What if Israel Had Recognized Jesus as their Messiah?
It’s tragic that Israel didn’t see the fulfillment of their own religion when Jesus revealed Himself to them. That is why God destroyed them in AD 70 via the Roman armies.

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 […]

Unless otherwise noted, Scriptures are from the 1901 American Standard Version. [Matthew 25:3146] Since this is such an extensive passage, I’ll not show it here.
