This is the first of five videos that cover the text in Acts 1:9-11, Coming in the Clouds in Like Manner. Our purpose is to correct the notion that the text can be isolated from all others to form a doctrine of Christ's coming void of the larger context of coming again texts.
Further, it is designed to show the true meaning of the ascension in it's biblical setting of Christ's priesthood. Jesus ascends to the throne as the High Priest after the order of Melchizadek, to be seated at the right hand of the Majesty in the heavens,

Eschatological Observations
Eschatological Studies">
The kingdom of God is quite an important topic in the scriptures. It is part and parcel of the Hebrew scriptures and covenant which God gave to Moses at Sinai. Israel was to be a kingdom of priests. "And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priest and a holy nation..." (Ex. 19:7).

at the hands of exegetes than does that
of Daniel 9:24–27.

a literal interpretation of the 70 weeks.
However, their literalizing of the text results in both a logical contradiction and abandonment of their premise by inserting a 2000 plus year gap.
They insert thousands of “weeks” into the final week resulting in non-fulfillment of the prophecy. However, the prophecy contains a very simple guide-post ...
