God now establishes the promises that He made with Abraham with his son Isaac. But, although Isaac does indeed inherit the promises, he must receive them by faith. That is, Isaac too must learn to trust God, just as his father did. So we see similar tests of Isaac just as Abraham. And we see similar faith. True faith is tested; true faith grows under temptation.  Advertising Inquiries: https://red...

In John 6 Jesus feeds the 5,000 men supernaturally from 2 fish and 5 loaves. This great sign moves the people to try to forcibly make Him king. He leaves and later crosses the Sea of Galilee. The following day some of those same people seek Him to repeat the miracle but receive correction from Jesus because of their motives and instruction on what food really to seek Him for. This leads to a wonde...

Genesis chapter 25 opens with Abraham taking a second wife, Keturah. She bore him 6 sons, fulfilling God’s promise to make from him a multitude of peoples. Then, it moves to dispense of Ishmael’s genealogy. Showing that his twelve sons were also God’s fulfillment of His word to Abraham. And finally, it concentrates on Isaac. However, the final section begins focussing on the barrenness of Rebekah,...

After the death of Sarah, Abraham considers his old age and that it is time to find a wife for Isaac. He fully trusts that the Lord will find this wife and makes his servant Eliezer take an oath to return back to his homeland to find her. Eliezer journeys to his master Abraham’s home and his journey is made successful by God. He finds Rebekah and returns with her back to Isaac. The key principle t...

Today we will be doing an exegetical study of Romans 10:8-10 - a well-known passage. The overall thrust of the text will highlight the way and means by which a person can be saved. Our study in the Greek text will show the beauty of these things to give us what we have today as a doctrinal statement of the Christian faith.

With the revelation of the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, we now have the final words of the Book of Revelation concerning Jesus the Messiah. John completes the picture of the eternal age in as much as God has decided to show it to him (us) and ends with both an affirmation and invitation. An affirmation as to the assuredness of the prophecy written in the book and an invitation to all to join God...

After the Kingdom of Jesus the Messiah has ended, Satan is shortly released and leads the world in a final rebellion. He is quickly dispatched and this event is followed by the Judgment Day. This is the second resurrection, where only unbelieving sinners will be resurrected, judged and sentenced to the Lake of Fire for all eternity. After this will begin the Kingdom of God, called the eternal king...

After the final rebellion of Satan and unsaved humanity in the Great War at the end of Jesus’ 1,000 year reign is the Judgment Day, also called the Great White Throne Judgment. Only the wicked dead appear here and are judged and sentenced to the Lake of Fire for all eternity. The universe that has existed since Genesis 1:1 is dissolved; and we prepare to enter the eternal state (the Kingdom of God...

When Jesus returns and sets up His kingdom, Satan will be imprisoned for 1,000 years. That is, for the whole duration of the Kingdom. At the end of Jesus’ messianic reign (the kingdom), Satan is released for a short time and influences much of humanity to rebel against Christ in one final war. Both Satan and his followers are quickly dispatched, followed by the Great White Throne Judgment. Adverti...

After Jesus returns with the saints and (He alone) destroys the armies of the antiChrist, He will judge the Gentile nations. The righteous Gentiles will be welcomed into the Kingdom, while the unrighteous Gentiles will be put to death. Also, it is at this time that Satan and his demonic angels will be temporarily imprisoned for 1,000 years - the duration of the Kingdom. The marriage supper/feast o...

After the destruction of Babylon (Revelation 17 and 18), there is great praise in heaven. The vindication of the saints who were killed is now taking place as God brings destruction on the anti-Christ and his kingdom.

Revelation 17 is the destruction of ecclesiastical (religious) Babylon. Revelation 18 is the destruction of political-economic Babylon, the capitol of the anti-Christ. Babylon will become the financial and cultural center of the world in the last days and will be the headquarters of the antiChrist. But because of continuing idolatry and the persecution of the saints, her judgment has now fully com...

"Justification" in Paul verses James is often misunderstood and thought to be a contradiction by some. Martin Luther truly disliked the letter of James, because he thought it contradicted the glorious message of (Paul's) salvation by faith alone. But is that what James really said? There is no contradiction in the message of Paul and James. While Paul's emphasis is on the MEANS of...

Looking at Revelation 20, we find that Jesus has returned in power and glory. He has restored the earth to a state of paradise like Adam had in the Garden in Eden. Satan and his demonic horde have been contained in the abyss for the full length of the reign of Jesus. This gives mankind the opportunity to benefit from the blessings of Jesus's work of restoration. However, no soon as Satan is re...

In John 7, Jesus gave a fundamental principle of the world’s regard for Him – hatred. There has always been a hatred of Christ and christians by the world; and there will continue to be hatred. Therefore, christians should represent Christ and the values of Christianity and stop trying to be friends with a world that will never love them. We should be loyal to Jesus and the doctrines of holiness i...

In Genesis chapters 1 and 2 is the creation narrative. However, when we look at chapter 1, there is a distinct difference to how God refers to Himself, than in chapter 2. Why is this the case?
