Plea for a Christ-Centered Eschatology
The key to unlocking the hidden, underlying unity of the two Testaments is the Person of Christ.
Sermons from Psalms
We read from the Psalms at hospital bedsides, at weddings, and at funerals. We use them devotionally and we even sing some of them. But we rarely preach from them. And the reason, the author suggests, is because we don't really understand them. Here's how you can get into preaching from the Psalms in a way that will make them mean something to the people in your pews.
One glorious inheritance
Many Christians are looking for a national reinstatement of an earthly Davidic kingdom in the land of Israel New Testament evidence seems to indicate, however, that Abraham and his believing descendants looked for a heavenly country and city to a new heavens and a new earth.
Is the church spiritual Israel?
Is there a dichotomy between the church and Israel in the New Testament? Are there two sets of promises in the Bible one delivered to Israel and the other given to the church? If so, do the promises directed originally to the remnant relate solely to Israel, or can they have meaning for the church as well?
Israel and the church
Does the New Testament represent the church as the new "Israel," the only heir to God's present and future covenant blessings, or does it keep Israel separate and distinct from the church?
The essence of dispensationalism
A system of Biblical interpretation begun in the nineteenth century is embraced by many Christians today. What are the key concepts of this relatively recent hermeneutical method, and how do they differ from what the church has generally held?
The Elijah to come - man or message?
A remarkable Old Testament prophecy points to a renewed preaching of the everlasting gospel in the days just before the second coming of Christ.
The millennium: Its Old Testament roots
The antecedents of Johns prophetic view in Revelation 20 can be found in the Old Testament predictions concerning the apocalyptic "day of the Lord." We cannot fully understand one without the others.
The one thousand years of Revelation 20
In reference to this prophetic span of time, Christians have divided themselves into premillennialists, postmillennialists, and even amillennialists. It has been interpreted as a long period of earthly peace, the entire Christian Age, a time when the redeemed will reign with their Lord in heaven, or the restoration of the Temple and its sacrifices in Jerusalem. In one way or another, a fully developed Biblical concept of end-time events must recognize and deal with the millennium revealed in the Apocalypse.
