Is the tabernacle of God with men? Ninety nine percent of all Christians live with a deferred hope, an unrealized promise, a rationalization of God's fidelity. Materialistic concepts of the kingdom of God cause many to focus on nationalism and wars as the framework for the fulfillment of God's promises. Yet, it was God's purpose that: The tabernacle of God would be with men, in other words, it would exist in the lifetime of men.
The focus on the rebuilding of Old Covenant Judaism makes headlines. This seems to fascinate some Christians. They believe that Palestine is to ...
What Does Paul Say About Daniel 12 and the Time of...
May 6th, 2009 | Resurrection | No Comment
In a recent study, we discussed
Daniel 12, and Paul’s commentary
on the timing of the resurrection.
The question of inquiry was “What
does Paul say about Daniel 12 and
the time of the resurrection?”
However, we did not begin in Daniel, though it was the guiding text, but
took as our starting point, Romans 13:11–12. Here, we examined eschatology as both an exegetical (relating to hermeneutics and interpretation) and mathematical proposition. Understanding Daniel in the light of Paul’s teaching creates a very challenging mathematical proposition. Let’s note the text to see what we mean.
And do this, knowing the time that now it is high time to ...

In a continuation of our study on the
we ask are some are “Seeing too much
Rapture in the Gospel of John 14:3?
Today, we further investigate whether
this text teaches the Rapture.
It is assumed that because the Lord said
he was going away and would come again
that an intermediate period for the Rapture
before the “final” end can be inserted.
Yet, one cannot build such a doctrine
in the parameters of this context. We’ll
get to that in a moment.
As we pointed out in the previous post,
What Did Charting the End Times Miss on the Rapture of the Church?, the overriding context of John 14, is Christ’s work as High ...

One of the most important elements of events is time, i.e.
when is that event going to occur. Everything in life is an
event in that everything occurs or exists in time.
What Did Charting the End Times Miss on the Rapture of
the Church? One of the most important elements of the
event, —time.
Charting the End Times, a very graphically pleasing book
of charts on eschatology authored by Tim Lahaye and
Thomas Ice, devotes a chapter on the Rapture. It is there
purpose to “chart” the time of the end, i.e. when the last days
events will occur. They begin with several points on the events of the ...

Adam and Eve were God’s “newborn”
babies. They were newborn in that
they were “born” of God.
As babies, they came into this world
naked and unashamed. This time
represented the period of their innocence.
But, something significant happened in their lives which caused them to lose their child-like innocence. Adam and Eve help us to understand “Eschatology and the Tabernacle – Why Can’t
Naked People Go to Heaven?”
To Adam, God had commanded that he eat of every tree in the garden which God had made. In the garden, all trees desirable for food were found. Also, there was the tree of life and ...
