Has the Church Misunderstood Israel’s Land P...

Was Walvoord Correct in His Assessment of the Land Promise? Most of the focus of the church on Israel involves the land promise made in Genesis 12:7.  As the late Dr. Walvoord remarked in His book, Prophecy, 14 Essential Keys to Understanding the Final Drama:  “The giving of the land to Abraham’s descendants has become a watershed in the study of prophecy, p. 39-40. The tendency has been to deny this is a literal promise. For Walvoord, every mention of the land God promised Abraham literally included the area from the river of Egypt to the River Euphrates, per Gen. 15:15–18). He contended ...

Dispensationalism: Was the church an accident for Christ’s failure to establish the kingdom? The theology that teaches that Christ postponed the kingdom and yet await its establishment at the millennium is what’s known as Dispensationalism. It is a rather recent teaching (past 200 years) in the area of eschatology (study of last things) which includes the second coming and its related events. We believe that Dispensationalism errs by charging God with failure to keep his promise regarding the imminent (from a first century perspective) establishment of the kingdom. In that view, the church became a substitute, an interim entity to “pacify” the world until God fulfills his promises to “ethnic” ...

Image by Getty Images via Daylife Schlomo Zand is a professor of history at Tel Aviv University in Israel. His book “When and How Was the Jewish People Invented?, continues to cause an uproar among his statesmen. So Why is Zionist-Israel in an Uproar Over a Book by Schlomo Zand? He argues that new facts have emerged which “face any honest historian with fundamental questions.” What Zand argues are facts which support those already stated in the New Testament. Whether one accepts the Bible as an inspired book or not it is a history book in that it records historical events. Such is the nature of any writing which ...

Is the Day of the Lord Near?

November 26th, 2008 | Day of the Lord | 7 Comments  
Is The Day of the Lord Near? The prophets all spoke of the day of the Lord. However, they all spoke of a time that was future to their day. Is the day of the Lord near to us? Peter records that they did not prophesy for their time, but for a future generation. Abraham, who likewise saw the day of the Lord, (John 8:56), saw it afar off (Heb. 11:13). On the other hand, some in the New Testament saw the day of the Lord as having occurred as early as the mid-first century. (2 Thess 2:1). Why is there such a wide span of ...

Is Fleshly Circumcision an Everlasting Covenant?

November 24th, 2008 | Circumcision | No Comment  
An Everlasting Covenant? Is fleshly circumcision an everlasting covenant? Does God require circumcision today as he required Abraham’s descendants? Are children of God today bound under the terms of Genesis 17:13?  Did not God make it a part of the gospel promise made to Abraham? The problem is a misunderstanding of the word “everlasting” as used in certain passages. Note: We are not discussing the medical merits of circumcision. For such matters consult your physician or urologist. We are concerned only with the theological and religious import. How do we understand the word everlasting covenant from forever as olam is sometimes translated? See Strong’s ...
