A House of Prayer for All Nations

April 11th, 2011 | Eschatology | No Comment  
House of Prayer One might think that eschatology has nothing to do with the house of prayer, but that would be incorrect. We have established the relationship of the body of Christ, i.e. the Christian church as the hope of Israel (Col. 2:17; Eph. 1:13-14; 3:21) and the local church as having continued relevance in the present church age (Zech 4:1-2; Rev. 1:19). This naturally leads us to ask questions about worship? Should we worship? Does worship and prayer have any relevance in the kingdom today? In prophecy, God spoke of the inclusive body of Christ as the house of prayer. During the ...

Birth Pangs of Romans 8:22|A Church in Labor

February 15th, 2011 | Romans 8 | 1 Comment  
Birth Pangs of A Church in Labor What are the birth pangs of Romans 8 indicative of relative to the creation? This is a very significant term. It helps to set the context, time and significance of the events of Romans 8:18-23. The passage is related to an event which often is misunderstood and misapplied. Fortunately for us, we have a context in the Old covenant which sheds light on the meaning of the passage. We'll get to that in a moment. At least four times in the New Testament, the inspired writers call attention to the birth pangs of the church. ...

Amen." (Rom. 9:3-5). That the apostle is specifically speaking of Israel is evident from verse six. This point cannot be denied. Yet, in ...

Micah and the Latter Days

January 14th, 2011 | Prophecy | No Comment  
Micah and the Endtimes Micah, who prophesied contemporaneously with Isaiah, spoke of the latter days when God would come to bring both judgment and peace. This two-fold  purpose of eschatology is often downplayed to pit one against the other. We're told that if God is coming to judge the nations, then he is not bringing peace or salvation. On the other hand if it is a coming for salvation, then judgment is excluded. This is not the case. According to the prophets, both judgment and salvation are concurrent events of the endtimes teaching in the scriptures. Micah, the prophet, as did Isaiah, ...

The Obama Antichrist Myth

August 18th, 2010 | Eschatology | 7 Comments  
The Obama Antichrist Myth The Obama Antichrist Myth continues to baffle the uninformed. There are so many rumors and untruths floating around cyberspace on the end times. Not the least is the Obama Antichrist myth. How and why people get sucked into these sink holes of false prophecy and understanding is directly related to the futurist views. Those who peer down the crystal ball of the future and listen  to too many TV evangelists talk about the doom and gloom of the end fall prey to such doctrines as the obama antichrist myth. This question ought never be raised by people who ...
