The moral purpose of prophecy

CHAPTER 8
JESUS IS REIGNING NOW!

The Scriptures make it plain that the prophecies concerning the reign of David’s Son were to be fulfilled by His death and resurrection. (See Acts 2:29, 32; 13:22-24, 32-34; Rom. 1:4; 2 Tim. 2:8.) Paul preached the kingdom of God and of Christ as’ a then reality, into which every…[Read more]

Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king.
To this end was I born(Gennao), and for this cause came I into the world,
that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

this is the dialogue often quoted here on this Forum. Believing in a human Messiah for securing the so called eternal life is no where found in the Hebrew Bible. This is the new invention of the writer of the Fourth Gospel.

If you believe that Jesus is the God spoken of in the Bible, then you must be wilfully blind.

No Proclaimer, I BELEIVE THAT THE FATHER IS THE ONLY TRUE GOD AND JESUS HIS BEGOTTEN AND BELOVED SON.

And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.  
Not only is Jesus—God—responsible for creating all things, He is also the reason all things continue to exist. AMEN!

Proclaimer, Mike,

SINCE Christ IS BEFORE ALL THINGS, IT IS TO SAY ALL CREATION, IT IS THAT HIMSELF IS NOT A CREATURE, HE IS A BEGOTTEN BEING, THE REFLECTION OF THE GLORY OF THE FATHER AND THE EVEN FOOTPRINT OF HIS PERSON, HE IS EQUAL TO THE FATHER.

I know from the letter to the Colossians that the Son of God IS BEFORE ALL THINGS …. THIS MEANS ETERNITY ….. AND THIS IS ENOUGH FOR ME. I BELIEVE.😐

God the Father who has always existed IS FOR US HUMAN A MYSTERY. BY FAITH WE CAN ACCEPT WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING.
THAT THE SON OF GOD BORN IN THE DAYS OF ETERNITY BE WHAT THE FATHER IS WHEN IN SPIRITUALITY: WE CAN UNDERSTAND IT. BUT WHAT THE SON WAS IN THE BEGINNING WHAT THE FATHER WAS WHEN IN NATURE (hupostasis) ONE CANNOT UNDERSTAND IT, IT IS ALSO…[Read more]

Christian Dispensationalists believe that Ezekiel’s temple is to be built in the future “during the earthly millennial kingdom.” If this is true, then why is there no mention of a temple in Revelation 20? In fact, Revelation 20 says nothing about Jesus reigning on the earth, David’s throne being set up and Jesus sitting on it, animal…[Read more]

Many say that the Ottoman Empire for example cannot be the seventh king after the sixth which we know is Rome. They cite that it was not a significant empire. How wrong they are. It ruled for centuries over the Middle East and great parts of Europe. It wasn’t any less than any other empire (head) before it.
