Flesh and Blood Shall Not Inherit the Kingdom of G...

The Kingdom of God and Resurrection 1 Corinthians 15 is butchered by most interpreters, especially the text regarding inheriting the kingdom of God, (v. 50). In this writing, I want to suggest another angle from which to consider the meaning of inheriting the kingdom so that the focus is not on human bodies coming out of graveyards. This view distorts the chapter and runs far amiss of what the apostle had in mind. Flesh and Blood and the Kingdom of God As we examine the context of 1 Corinthians 15:50, we should question why Paul uses the concept of "flesh and blood" as ...

If Christ Returned in 70 AD, What Happened to Sata...

March 1st, 2009 | Eschatology | 7 Comments  
Image via Wikipedia We’re often asked, if Christ has returned in 70 AD?, What happened to Satan This is a great question. Many want to know the whereabouts of the Diabolos, the wicked one. If there are two questions that plague the minds of Christians they are: “Where did Satan come from, where is he now, and or where did he go? These are great Bible questions. Who wouldn’t want to know where their chief enemy was? No surprise visits right? The answer to the first question is rather simple. Satan came from God. What? Yes, that’s true. Satan came from God who is the Creator of all things. At least, that’s my take ...

Eternal Life, Do We Get it Now or Later?

February 27th, 2009 | Eschatology | No Comment  
Image via Wikipedia We all heard the saying everyone wants to go to heaven and but no one wants to die. Well why does it have to be one or the other? How about having both, heaven and life without death? Only, we’re talking about “Eternal Life, Do We Get It Now or Later? The comfort and assurance of Christianity is that it provides positive proof that life continues beyond death. Jesus’ resurrection, tested by the skeptics who sought to discredit the inspiration of the Bible, stands the test of time and is a testimonial for the truth of Christianity. Imagine having an apologetic argument built into the faith so ...

Did Christ See Daniel’s Appointed Time?

December 12th, 2008 | Christian Eschatology | No Comment  
Daniel 12 In this, our second installment on the resurrection in Daniel, we examine the Lord’s divine commentary on Daniel 12:2. Did Christ See Daniel’s Appointed Time? In the first segment we noted that Daniel identified the “time of the end” as the appointed time for the indignation or anger of God against his people Israel. Daniel 8:17, 19, shows that it was the time of consummation. At that time God would destroy the holy people, Dan. 8:24, 7:25, 12:7, and bring an end to the Old Covenant nation. It is also at this time when God would deliver the righteous, describing it as ...

Who Is the Ancient of Days in Daniel 7?

November 15th, 2008 | Book of Revelation | 19 Comments  
Daniel 7, a hotbed for eschatological theorizing, continues to baffle commentators, past and present. The solution to the identity of the Ancient of Days is in my opinion, one that is without controversy. The most common designation this obviously Divine character is God himself. This view largely stems from the reading of the text. Variant renderings are: The Son of Man comes to the Ancient of Days The Son of Man comes as the Ancient of Days In the first rendering the Father is meant. In the second it refers to the Son. Can we solve this debate of Who is the Ancient of Days in Daniel 7? Have you ever overlooked the obvious when it was ...
