Israel and the Church [Ephesians 2:11-22]
All Scriptures quotes are from the 1901 American Standard Version unless otherwise noted. Ephesians 2:11-22 is a highly significant passage regarding the true nature of Israel of the New Covenant, which is the Israel in Christ. This is one of the most extensive passages about this in the New Testament: (Ephesians 2:11-22) — 11 Wherefore remember, […]

Earthly Kingdom or Heavenly Kingdom? [Philippians 3]
All Scripture quotations are from the 1901 American Standard Version unless otherwise noted. Introduction I think it’s safe to say that most Christians are taught that we all have an earthly kingdom to look forward to, where upon His return, Christ will reign over this present earth as its Ruler, sitting upon the […]
The Kingdom of Christ According to Paul
There are two positions regarding the Kingdom of Christ. One that is based on a Jewish, Old Testament understanding, and the other that is based on a Christian, New Testament understanding. The first view interprets Israel and the Kingdom of Christ from an OT perspective, which is then used to interpret the NT teaching on this subject. The second view interprets Israel and the Kingdom […]
Key Passage that Disproves an Earthly, Millennial Kingdom — [Eph 2:5-6]
INTRODUCTION I want to talk about a passage that I believe provides an unmistakable interpretation of the “thousand years” of Rev 20:1-7. We must always keep in mind that the book of Revelation is a New Testament book, and so we must allow the rest of the NT to interpret this book for us. If you read my series “Kingdom […]
Kingdom of Christ Now — [1 Corinthians 15]
All Scriptures are taken from the 1901 American Standard Version unless otherwise noted.

In this chapter, Paul not only reveals what the Kingdom of Christ is, but also the timing of it. And as […]
Will There Be a Millennial Kingdom? Not According to the Writer of Hebrews.
Introduction Will there be a millennial kingdom on earth? That is, will there be a thousand year kingdom on earth that Jesus will set up upon His return, where He will reign over all the earth from the capital of Israel (Jerusalem)? Will Jesus really reign over a kingdom that has a physical temple where […]
John 14:3 Leaves No Room For A Millennial Kingdom
Dispensational Premillennialism (DP) teaches that there will be an earthly, millennial kingdom, where, upon His return, Christ will rule as King over the world. However, Jesus Himself reveals that there is no such kingdom: (John 14:1-4) – 1 “Do not let your hearts be distressed. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 There are many dwelling […]
Peter Settles It! No Millennial Kingdom of This World
Introduction Acts 3:21 is our key verse. The whole context is Acts 3:18-25, as well as Acts 2:29-36. Both passages are spoken by Peter. He preached the first part on the day of Pentecost. The second part he preached on another occasion (healing of the lame man at the temple), but both are part […]
Does Premillennialism Really Make Sense?
Have you ever wondered why, in the Old Testament there is so much direct judgment from God upon people and nations? We see God’s judgment many times. That’s because the world at that time was not in the age of grace under the New Covenant of Christ like it is now. The judgments of the […]
