Prophecy Fulfilled Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

Prophecy is also perverted in every generation by those who feel it was all written for just their day. There is a whole graveyard full of old prophecy books that died along with the people who are suppose to be the anti-Christ.

In no area of biblical studies have Christians been more often deceived then in the area of prophecy. The early church fathers got caught up in wild spiritualizing of the Old Testament. They found profound revelations where there were none. It became so subjective that you could make Scripture ...read more

Can Christians Claim Old Testament Covenant Promises?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jul 10, 2020

Can a Old Testament Covenant promise of God made specifically to Israel be claimed by Christians?

There are many promises of God in the Bible. Some are given to specific individuals, such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and Solomon. There are also many promises given to entire groups of people and even nations. God would seal His promises by making a covenant, which is a conditional contract, ...read more

A Guarantee.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Jan 17, 2024

D. L. Moody was to have a campaign in England. An elderly pastor protested, "Why do we need this ’Mr. Moody’? He’s uneducated, inexperienced, etc. Who does he think he is anyway? Does he think he has a monopoly on the Holy Spirit?"

A Guarantee. 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 As a child, I was taught not to question authority. The battle cry in that day was, mine is not to reason why, mine is to do or die. Patriotism was based on my country, right or wrong. Such is the basis for fanaticism and blind loyalty. Then came to Vietnam ...read more

Why Did Sarah Laugh ?

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 19, 2024

Since God spoke to Abraham regularly, Abraham was strengthened and was able to sustain 25 long years waiting for the promised child. But this was not the case for Sarah.

And the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’ Genesis 18:13 Sarah might have laughed because she had no more tears left to weep or cry for the fulfilment of the promise. Her tears might have been exhausted over the course of 25 long ...read more

Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 36 Esau departs from the land of Canaan, where Jacob was, because of the multitude of their flocks. Esau's posterity is enumerated. ...read more
