The Local Church Post 70AD?
What is the status of the local church post 70 AD? Some see no relevance for the local church after Christ's returned in the first century. They believe that the church only continued up to that point, claiming it was a Jewish institution. We dealt with that fallacy in the previous article on Israel's Hope - The Body of Christ. We strongly encourage you to look at some of the points we made.
Since we discussed the "body of Christ" in particular, our focus was on the church as the divine institution sent down from heaven by ...
Micah and the Latter Days

Micah and the Endtimes
Micah, who prophesied contemporaneously with Isaiah, spoke of the latter days when God would come to bring both judgment and peace. This two-fold purpose of eschatology is often downplayed to pit one against the other. We're told that if God is coming to judge the nations, then he is not bringing peace or salvation. On the other hand if it is a coming for salvation, then judgment is excluded.
This is not the case. According to the prophets, both judgment and salvation are concurrent events of the endtimes teaching in the scriptures. Micah, the prophet, as did Isaiah, ...

Temple of God
Is the tabernacle of God with men? Ninety nine percent of all Christians live with a deferred hope, an unrealized promise, a rationalization of God's fidelity. Materialistic concepts of the kingdom of God cause many to focus on nationalism and wars as the framework for the fulfillment of God's promises. Yet, it was God's purpose that: The tabernacle of God would be with men, in other words, it would exist in the lifetime of men.
The focus on the rebuilding of Old Covenant Judaism makes headlines. This seems to fascinate some Christians. They believe that Palestine is to ...

Fruit of the Spirit in the Age to Come
Why are Christians more focused on the miraculous gifts of the Spirit than they are the fruit of the Spirit in the age to come? Why are miracles and speaking in tongues more appealing than the fruit of the Spirit? Miracles were temporary but the fruit of the Spirit is eternal and enduring. Miracles were for a select few, but the Spirit's fruit is for all and for all time. In fact, the latter characterizes the life in the age to come, i.e. the present Christian age.
Walk in the Fruit of the ...
Is the Millennium Past, Present or Future?
March 23rd, 2009 | Millennium | 1 Comment
In continuing our reply to Preterism Is False,
and Dr. Edward Hinson of Liberty University’s
The New Last Day's Scoffers, we address
the millennium.
Is the Millennium Past, Present or Future?
This means we are responding to both
Amillennialism and Dispensationalism as
tenants of futurism.
Dr. Hinson, erroneously assumed that Preterism holds to a present millennium. We deny that assertion.
Rather, it is the Amillennial view which holds that the millennium is currently present, is figurative in that it includes the entire period beginning with Christ’s enthronement at the right hand of the Father already now exceeding a literal 1,000 years (Acts 2:29–33) and continues until his alleged future ...
