In a recent study, we discussed
Daniel 12, and Paul’s commentary
on the timing of the resurrection.
The question of inquiry was “What
does Paul say about Daniel 12 and
the time of the resurrection?”
However, we did not begin in Daniel, though it was the guiding text, but
In Dispensationalism Does “At Hand” Mean
“Not At Hand”? When the Lord spoke of his
kingdom, he said the time was fulfilled, and
the kingdom had drawn near. (Mark 1:14, 15).
Christ came to make good on the promise of the restoration of the

Often people ask, who are those
who came out of the great tribulation?
This is a great question and is usually
offered as proof that both the book of
Revelation and the great tribulation is
future.
It rather becomes and explosive keg

A proper identification of those who

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 God, (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 time related
to the day of the Lord? How can this time span
as early as the first century to as long as some
time in our future?
Such uncertainty creates endless speculations
both about the veracity of end time prophecy
and the time in which the event would occur.

11 Comments »In seeking to answer the question, Was 1948 the Regathering
of Israel in Bible Prophecy?, it is necessary to gather a bit of
history of Israel.
Israel, the ancient nation of the Bible apostatized during the
days of Jeroboam. After King Solomon’s death, God tore
Israel (the 10 northern tribes) from the house of David.
Their crimes were are follows:
For these reasons, God was very angry with Israel and removed
them from his sight until none of them were left but the tribe of
Judah alone, (2 Kings 17:15–18).
In 722 BC, God delivered Israel into Assyrian captivity. At that
time, the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah,
Ava, Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities
of Samaria instead of the children of Israel. (2 Kings 17:24)
Samaria was the capital of Northern tribes. Israel was scattered
among the Gentiles. Hosea prophesies that God would no longer
have mercy upon Israel, (1:6), saying they were no longer his
people, (1:9).
Yet, in fulfillment of the promise to Abraham, (Gen. 22:17; 32:12),
God would make Israel as the sand of the sea and once again call
them his people. He would again gather the nation together under
one head with Judah and form them into one nation. (Hos. 1:10, 11).
Was 1948 the regathering of Israel in Bible prophecy?
