New Testament Survey no.8: John - Book of Revelation Clive Ashby
As part of the Course on the New Testament, Session 8 provides an overview of the writing of John in the Revelation he received of the End Times. (This is part of the New Testament Survey Course taught at Harare Theological College - 2016)
Journey Through The Bible: Isaiah Part 1- Crisis and FaithResurrection Church
Isaiah was one of the greatest prophets of the Bible. Part One looks at the prophetic process, how do prophets communicate God's messages. During Isaiah's life time Judah faced military and moral crises in which they had to choose between obedience to God's word proclaimed by Isaiah or reliance on strategic alliances.
New Testament Survey no.10: Luke - Acts of the ApostlesClive Ashby
As part of the Course on the New Testament, session 10 provides an overview of the second part of the writing of Luke - His historical account of the Acts of the Apostles. (This is part of the New Testament Survey Course taught at Harare Theological College - 2016)
This is a slideshow of some of the prophecy illustrations from our website - http://SanctuaryofYeshua.wordpress.com.
You can go there to learn more about the Bible prophecies of Daniel and Revelation and about the Sanctuary, or Tabernacle. The fact that the Bible prophecies have been so accurately fulfilled by history shows that the prophecies which apply to the future will also be very exactly fulfilled. You will find much more about this o the website, as well as an illustrated timeline of all the prophecies in Daniel and Revelation so you can see visually how and when they were/are going to be fulfilled.

"Philadelphia" means city of "Brotherly Love." What could be more brotherly than telling prospective brothers about God's great love? Jesus commended this church for maintaining their missions focus, despite being mistreated. He also promised them deliverance from God's anger at the entire world (3:10), also known as the Pre-Tribulational Rapture.
A lecture on the style and message of the Gospel of John. In this lecture we compare John's style to those of the synoptic to get an Eagle's eye portrayal of Jesus life and message.
We can use the power of the blood of Jesus for our benefit. Claiming His blood daily, builds up a shield of protection around you, your household and your ministry.
This is a series of ten lessons on the attributes of God. These lessons are not meant for seminary study, but for the everyday believer who wants to gain a practical understanding of the subject for their own personal growth and reading; for small group bible studies, or for teaching and edification in church.
The climax of the book of Revelation is unarguably the return of Christ. What precedes in the judgments (Rev 1-18) proves his right to judge and what follows (Rev 20-22) is simply the "mopping up" operation.

God promised to David that he will always have a descendant to seat at his throne. Messiah came from the Line of David and will come again, and His kingdom will be an everlasting one.

Class 1 of a series called the Consummation, a Reformed view of end times or eschatology. This is being taught at Christ Presbyterian Church, 495 Terrell Mill Road, Marietta, GA 30067. This class will be taught at 10am on January 15, 2017.
This is class 9 of the series The Consummation.
This class looks at Preterism, Partial Preterism and Full Preterism.
This is being taught at Christ Presbyterian Church in Marietta.
There are lots of theories out there about 'pre-tribulation or post-tribulation', but this should not be a basis for dividing true believers; as ultimately, the most important thing is that we are in a relationship with God, that we are walking closely with God and that we are ready for whatever comes in the end times.
A description of the Bible's teaching on the Rapture which is what Revelation 4:1 is about. If you want to see a video version of this series in 5 minute clips go to http://community.webshots.com/user/matav1
No, none of the seals have been opened and any discussion to the contrary is a contradiction of scripture. If you are alive and on earth at the time of the seals being broken open you are in the tribulation. At that point your only hope will be to repent and lose your head in order to be saved.
Revelation places the 1000-year rule of the saints after Christ's return in chapter 19, seen in the normal, chronological sense as following the return of Jesus to the earth. This kingdom is both future and earthly ("they will reign on the earth," Rev 5:10). Download the entire manuscript, study notes, and handout at BibleStudyDownloads.org (NT sermons link).

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
2. Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven,
holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit
and a great chain. And he seized the dragon,
that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan,
and bound him for a thousand years, and threw
him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over
him, so that he might not deceive the nations
any longer, until the thousand years were ended.
After that he must be released for a little while.
(Revelation 20:1-3 ESV)
3. Second Coming of Christ – The future return
of Christ to earth.
Rapture – An event where believers who
have died and will be raised and believers
who are still alive on earth shall be caught up
in the clouds to meet Christ in the air.
(Derived from the Middle French rapture,
which comes from the Medieval Latin rapture
(seizure/kidnapping), which comes from the
Latin raptus (a carrying off).
7. End of the Millennium:
Satan loosed.
Final great rebellion.
Rebellion crushed.
Second resurrection (of the wicked for judgment).
Final Judgment.
Satan and his followers cast into the lake of fire.
8. Major Distinctions
Distinction between Israel and the Church.
Eschatology – Premillennial with Rapture.
Dispensations.
Biblical Interpretive Distinctions
Progressive Revelation.
Grammatical-Historical Interpretation.
9. Dispensational periods in and of themselves
are not the main issue between Reformed
and Dispensationalists.

Means Of Grace.”

your favorite podcast app.
11. OT Prophecies concerning Israel are to be
literally fulfilled to ethnic Israel.
Israel is not a type, it is the antitype.
OT Symbolism is constrained.
It is especially constrained in OT prophetic
statements.
12. ISRAEL
The earthly chosen people
of God.
OT promises and curses
relate to ethnic Israel.
OT promises to Israel will
be fulfilled in the
millennium.
OT trappings of temple and
sacrifices will be present in
millennium.
THE CHURCH
The spiritual, heavenly
people of God.
OT prophecies did not
mention the NT Church.
The Church has a different
destiny or purpose than
Israel.
13. The catholic or universal church, which is invisible,
consists of the whole number of the elect, that have
been, are, or shall be gathered into one, under Christ
the Head thereof; and is the spouse, the body, the
fullness of him that filleth all in all.
The visible church, which is also catholic or universal
under the gospel (not confined to one nation, as
before under the law), consists of all those throughout
the world that profess the true religion; and of their
children: and is the kingdom of the Lord JesusChrist,
the house and family of God, out of which there is no
ordinary possibility of salvation.
14. The main issue is Dispensationalism
separates God’s people:
Israel –The OT promises only refer to them.
The Church – Distinct from the true Israel.
This is unbiblical.
16. Based on 1 Corinthians 15:51-53.
Many other passages can be used.
1 Corinthians shows a striking contraction in
“Rapture Doctrine”.
17. The critique is based on the concept of proof
by contradiction.
It depends on the law of non-contradiction:
Nothing can be true and false, at the same
time and in the same sense.
If the premise being defended results in a
contradiction, then the premise is false.
18. 1 Corinthians 15:51-53 ESV: Behold! I tell you
a mystery.We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling
of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the
trumpet will sound, and the dead will be
raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
For this perishable body must put on the
imperishable, and this mortal body must put
on immortality.
19. Dispensationalists identify 1 Corinthians
15:51-53 as a rapture event.
Believers, living and dead, are caught up with the
Lord.
Notice that “the last trumpet” is sounded.
There is a problem with the last trumpet.
Matthew 24:31
20. Matthew 24:31 ESVAnd he will send out his
angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will
gather his elect from the four winds, from
one end of heaven to the other.
Dispensationalists view this is the 2nd coming
of Christ … after the rapture in 1 Corinthians
15.
This makes the last trumpet of 1 Corinthians
15 not the last trumpet.
21. How can the not last trumpet of 1 Corinthians
15 be called the last trumpet?
Four DispensationalTheories:
The last trumpet with different blasts of the
trumpet.
The trumpet sound is seven years long.
Matthew 24:31 is not about the visible second
coming of Christ.
This last trumpet in 1 Corinthians 15 is the last for
the Church.
22. The last trumpet with different blasts of the
trumpet.
Rebuttal: Does not work because 1 Corinthians
15:52 says the trumpet sound. It means this is the
last sounding of the trumpet.
23. The trumpet sound is seven years long.
Rebuttal:The stress on 1 Corinthians 15:52 is on
the quickness of the operation.
24. Matthew 24:31 is not about the visible second
coming of Christ.
Rebuttal: Matthew 24:30 is clearly visible:
Matthew 24:30 ESVThen will appear in heaven
the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes
of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son
of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with
power and great glory.
25. This last trumpet in 1 Corinthians 15 is the last
for the Church. – Rebuttal:
This theory means there is a qualification to the
last trumpet.
Rule in interpretation is that there must be explicit
limited qualifiers in the context.
There is no indication in 1 Corinthians 15 that last
is qualified in any way.
The passage is cosmic and not limited in any way.
26. The most straight forward and plain literal
reading of Matthew 24 and 1 Corinthians 15 is
that the rapture event of 1 Corinthians 15 is
identical to the second coming of Christ in
Matthew 24.
Therefore there is no secret rapture of the
Church prior to the second coming of Christ.
27. Dispensationalism is an invention in the
1800’s by John Nelson Darby.
It’s major distinctives include:
Different plans of God for ethnic Israel and the
Church
The Premillennial Rapture view.
The rapture view runs into many major
biblical problems and contradictions.
28. Matthew 24:36-42
[36] “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not
even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father
only. [37] For as were the days of Noah, so will be the
coming of the Son of Man. [38] For as in those days before
the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and
giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the
ark, [39] and they were unaware until the flood came and
swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of
Man. [40]Then two men will be in the field; one will be
taken and one left. [41]Two women will be grinding at the
mill; one will be taken and one left. [42]Therefore, stay
awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is
coming. (ESV)
29. Matthew 24:40, 41:
Emphasis is on being ready.
Cannot judge by external appearances. People
pursuing same activities, one will be taken, one
left.
It is referring to the separation of those who are
ready from those who are not.
“Taken” often refers to judgment. For example,
Israel was taken into captivity.
30. 1Thessalonians 4:13-18
[13] But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about
those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who
have no hope. [14] For since we believe that Jesus died and rose
again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those
who have fallen asleep. [15] For this we declare to you by a word
from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the
coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen
asleep. [16] For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with
a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the
sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise
first. [17]Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up
together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air,
and so we will always be with the Lord. [18]Therefore
encourage one another with these words. (ESV)
31. 1Thessalonians 4
Metaphor of a triumphant, conquering general
returning to the city.
▪ Trumpets sound.
▪ Messenger announces the coming general and army
with a loud voice.
▪ The people of the city go out to meet the general and
participate in the victory parade that comes into the
city.
