The Seed of Abraham Part Two
God further clarified that the fleshly descendants of Abraham were not the seed of Abraham by choosing Jacob over Esau through whom the promise would be fulfilled? If all the fleshly descendants of Abraham were entitled to the promise God could not have chosen Jacob and rejected Esau. Yet, the text says of the twins, (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls), it ...

Identifying The Seed of Abraham
Who is the seed of Abraham? What is their inheritance according to the promise? Who are the descendants of Abraham after him and what about their inheritance? These questions sum up the entire bible in terms of God's relationship with his people. The promise of deliverance from sin and death alluded to in Genesis 3:15, is carried through Abraham then more narrowly through Isaac and Jacob.
The Promised Seed of Abraham
God gave Abraham the promise according to Genesis 12:1-3. "Now the Lord had said to Abraham; Get out of your country, from your family and from your ...

Anxiety in the Church Over the Great Tribulation
The great tribulation prophecy in the Old Testament continues to baffle readers of the Bible. Is this event soon to occur? Should we be fear? For those who are Preterists, we know that this concern is totally unfounded. There is not such notion as a tribulation in our future related to any of the end times prophecies of the Bible. There are no signs of the times that signal such an event is near.
Yet, many will never take the time and read to discover the simplicity of fulfilled Bible prophecy, at least not ...
If Ham and Eggs Can Talk, Why Can’t the Star...
June 8th, 2009 | Day of the Lord | 1 Comment
If I were you, I would be a bit curious of a title, If Ham and Eggs Can Talk, Why Can't the Stars, in the Day of the Lord? Don't you think it's a rather
interesting eschatological theme? Well, here's what provoked the title.
As a child I remember growing up watching the Little Rascals on TV, before going to school. On one episode, a Stymie persuaded whom I vaguely
remember might have been his friends to cook him some ham and eggs. He told him that ham and eggs could talk. Well, after a little persuasion and
determination, they fried some ham and ...
Are We Living in the Last Days?
December 8th, 2008 | Day of the Lord | No Comment
Ask 9.99 out of 10 people are we
living in the last days? No doubt,
they’ll say yes.
How do they know? Just look at
the signs, they say.
Why does every generation believe
they have a corner on the signs of
Christ’s return?
Are we living in the last days again?
Is the end coming again? Are we
about to be raptured, again?
Why doesn’t someone stop and
smell the burnt coffee beans of
on again, off again eschatology?
How many times do they need to
cry wolf, before tiring of this?
Wasn’t Hal Lindsey and Edgar
Whisenant enough in the 80’s?
How soon do some forget or
ignore the facts?
These Hagee types would rather
nuke the world than give up their
prophecies ...
