A Day Is As A Thousand Years For Wrath and Salvation
In our first installment of this topic, we demonstrated from the first half of Psalm 90:3-12, that Moses used a day is as a thousand years to speak of a short versus a long period of time. See that article where we pointed out the various comparisons, all of which pointed to brief periods. The context of Psalm 90 compels the careful reader to conclude the Bible application of the thousand years used by Moses and Peter is of short duration.
Futurists use a day is like a thousand years meaning ...

They were also the God-appointed teachers of the nation. It was their responsibility to teach Israel the ways of God. The Levitical priests were cast into this role by default. Don K.

Firstfruits of the Spirit
Firstfruits of the Spirit
Most of the lessons I grew up hearing about giving were sermons on Proverbs 3:9–10 about the firstfruits. Never would I have asked “What Do the Firstfruits

One major problem with those who seek to understand the end time is a failure ...

Some 30 years ago, my wife and our youngest daughter were playing in
our backyard. It was a rather large back yard, and one of the features that sold us on the house.

Our daughter terrified with fear, began to cry. While my wife’s motherly instinct overcame my curiosity of what had happened, she ...
