Death Is Swallowed Up In Victory 1 Cor. 15:54
It is assumed that death in 1 Corinthians 15 is about bodies. Mostly what creates this intepretive mindset is the lack of understanding and context of the Old Testament. Since 1 Corinthians 15:54 is quoting "what is written", it has an O.T. background and contex that must not be ignored.
Isaiah chapter 25:6-9, is part of the "Little Apocalypse" of Isaiah which includes chapters 24-27:1-13. These chapters give a very compact discussion of the eschatological events. The swallowing up of death in Isaiah 25:8 is a part of that context. It is connected ...

1 Corinthians 15:50
Why does 1 Corinthians 15:50, a verse which speaks of inheriting the kingdom of God, appear in the middle of Paul's discussion on bodily resurrection? He had just spoken of putting off the image of the earthly man and putting on the image of the heavenly man. If you have not watched that video, it is a must see.
However, in the video below, we demonstrate why 1 Corinthians 15:50 is a key text regarding the resurrection. It belongs in the context, but how? Why?
In the video below we discuss the meaning of "flesh and blood" in the context ...

On dating the book of Revelation, there are many arguments which can be made. A primary dispute is when was the book written? Knowing this fact is key to how we interpret the meaning of the book.
Many believe the book was written after the temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70AD i. e. in 95 A.D. This is based almost solely on a statement from Irennaeus.
Others, as this writer, posit the book was written before the temple was destroyed and that the contents of the prophecy speaks of the fall of the temple and the then imminent ...
Habakkuk 1:5 and Hebrews 10:37
January 28th, 2021 | Eschatology | No Comment
Habakkuk's prophecy was fulfilled in the time of the Chaldean destruction. He was told to "look among the nations" because God would "work a work in your days" as he was "raising up the Chaldeans". 1:5,6.
The vision was for an appointed time, but would not lie. There would be a delay, but it woud not be a permanent delay. They were told to "wait for it". Habakkuk's generation is not yet waiting for the Chaldeans to come and destroy it.Two different words are used for the two occurrences of tarry in the text. Note, one says will tarry and the ...
Rick Eckhart – Lies, Falsehoods and Deceptio...
January 25th, 2021 | Eschatology | No Comment
Richard Eckhart is a person of whom I know very little with the exception of his postings on Facebook. I just discovered his blog which is more of a flog, newandliving.wordpress_com. He has posted several articles, photos and videos on youtube attacking me personally in his wild and reckless attempts to refute what I teach.
One post in particular is: William Bell, Covenant Eschatology, and the Black Hebrew Israelites, dated 3/10/20. Anyone who knows and follows him may conclude that he has some deeper issues. However, my aim is to focus on the lies, mispresentations and falsehoods that he ...
