Rapture- True Or False? What Will Happen At The Lord's Second Coming

Contributed by Robert Webb on Feb 3, 2025

There is cause for reservation about the popular conception of the rapture, especially in regard to the time element and manner in which it is commonly believed it will take place.

The rapture is an intriguing subject and at the forefront of much thought. What is it? This is the teaching that the church will be "caught up" or raptured in the clouds with Jesus and the resurrected believers and be with the Lord forever. That much is taught very plainly in 1 ...read more

I Saw You Under The Fig Tree

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 23, 2024

What did Jesus see under the fig tree, and what was Nathaniel doing there? Maybe Nathanael was in a quiet prayer time under the fig tree, and Jesus saw or heard Nathaniel’s prayer. "I saw you under the fig tree" means I saw you in your quiet time alone with God under the fig tree.

Nathanael said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” Nathanael answered and said to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” John 1:48-49 Jesus and Nathanael had an instant ...read more

Sharpen The Working Of The Gifts Of Holy Spirit In Your People

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 26, 2024

God gives His Gifts of the Holy Spirit to his people, but if he wants to take the gift away from them, he removes the sharpness of the gift rather than the gift itself. When God removes the sharpness, it is like a dull knife that cannot be used to cut, but instead leaves scars and marks on the ...read more
