Sowing the Body
What does sowing the body mean? In order to understand the resurrection or raising of the body spoken of in 1 Corinthians 15, one must first understand what it means to sow the body. If we fail to grasp that meaning it will cause problems in our resurrection doctrine.
In the Old and New Testaments, the Bible has given us very clear meanings on what the sowing of the body is. However, some are led to reject these clear bible statements and claim sowing means something vastly different. As we will see, sowing becomes quite a confusing process when ...

Zechariah 12 Verses 10-12
Zechariah 12, verses 10-12, is key to understanding Revelation 1:7, particularly "every eye shall see him. Misunderstanding occurs in studying the Book of Revelation when it's Old Testament background is ignored.

In Zechariah we have the following:
"And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one ...

Book of Revelation
Revelation or the apocalypse means an unveiling. The book is the message of the unveiling or revealing of Jesus Christ. John the Baptist played a key role in the revealing of Christ to Israel at his first coming.
When asked whether he was the Christ, Elijah (who was to come as prophesied by Malachi 4:5) or the Prophet like unto Moses, (Deuteronomy 18:15f), John denied. (John 1:20, 21)

What Is Eschatology?
What is the meaning of the last days? What is eschatology, pronounced (es-ke-tol-o-je)? Let's take these in reverse order. Eschatology is derived from two Greek words.
