(Edited from my commentary on Ephesians) Ephesians 5:3 3 But among you there must not be either sexual immorality, impurity of any kind, or greed, as these are not fitting for the saints.; (NET) Up to this point in the book of Ephesians, Paul has been instructing us on living the Christian life, about living […]
There’s a verse in Revelation that I believe reveals convincingly that there is no earthly millennial kingdom: Revelation 15:1 – And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having seven plagues, which are the last, for in them is finished the wrath of God. Here we see that God’s […]
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 […]
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. If they had recognized Jesus as their Messiah (as one people), today they would be viewed in the context of Christianity, not in the context […]
How do we live the Spirit-filled life? How do we walk by the Spirit? How do we make decisions that are in God’s will? These questions are answered in the following passages: (Ephesians 5:15-18 – NET) — 15 Therefore be very careful how you live – not as unwise but as wise, 16 taking advantage of every opportunity, […]
Fulfillment Theology (Covenantal) views the covenant promises and prophecies relating to Israel as being fulfilled in Christ and to those who are in Him, as His Church. Christ fulfilled what Israel could not. He alone has the right to be called “Israel.” He is thus, a nation of One, as the True Israel of God. His Church is Spiritual […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
