No Comment Matthew 24:30
Matthew 24-30, (24:30), speaks of the coming of the Son of Man in the clouds. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
See our study on Daniel 7:13:

Gifts Without Repentance
What are the gifts without repentance in Romans 11:29? In an attempt to find passages that support an ongoing charismata, i.e. spiritual gifts in operation beyond 70AD, Romans 11:17 is cited to show that God would never end spiritual gifts until we arrived in heaven.Â

1 Comment Daniel 7 and the Ancient of Days
Who is the Ancient of Days? This question came in via email and I thought I would take a few minutes to create a video to share my thoughts on it. I would certainly appreciate some feed back from you. Daniel 7 is a challenging chapter to say the least and the context we're dealing with in the video even puzzled Daniel.

6 Comments Leftbehind and the Tribulation Period
Some of the most popular Leftbehind books on eschatology are based on the mythological teaching of a future Rapture of the saints on earth. The
future Tribulation Period teaching books by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins have steered so many in the wrong direction regarding the end times.
The idea that God will one day en mass remove all Christians from the earth is totally unfounded in Scripture. In fact, it is diametrically opposite to what the Biblical text says. The principle which must be kept in mind is that we're discussing judgment passages.
Christ did not leave ...
Olivet Discourse: Has the Kingdom of God Arrived? Matthew, Mark and Luke, all record the Olivet Discourse. However, only one explicitly mention the coming of the kingdom of God. While all gospels speak of the coming kingdom, only Luke connected it with Jesus' address on the Mount of Olives.
The kingdom is the reign of God in men's hearts. Luke recorded Jesus' words that during the Roman conflagration of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, the kingdom would be near. "So likewise you, when you see all these things, know that the kingdom of God has drawn near."
The question we ask is did ...
