1 Thes 5:3 says, “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them”.  The Jews say that they want peace and the Arab nations and Palestinians say that they want peace.  But the Lord said that when they can finally say, “Peace and safety”, as...

We have been studying a series on Israel.  In this lesson, we will see that nations fighting against Israel is not so much a fight with them as it is war with God.  In Rev 13:6 the beast “opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and...

This is the fourth lesson in the series I’ve been teaching on Israel.  The first lesson was on God’s Covenant with Abraham.  The second was on Israel’s Land Grant.  And the third was on Israel’s Government.  Today, we’re going to study the regathering of Israel.  Thus, this lesson has to...

Israel’s government.  They are a kingdom to be ruled by a king. Initially, Israel was governed by the Lord, himself.  God chose Moses to lead them out of Egypt, Acts 7:30-36.  While in the wilderness, God gave them his commandments, Ex 19-20.  Then in Num 11:16-17 the Lord gave Moses...

Israel’s land grant is clearly recorded in the Bible.  We’re going to study Israel’s land grant today. This will help us understand what belongs to Israel and when they can anticipate inhabiting their land. Israel’s original land grant is the land of Canaan.  Gen 13:15, for all the land which...

God’s...

There is a pattern in the Bible that sheds light on the future of nations in the world.  God gives people and nations time to repent until their wickedness is full, and then he destroys them, when there is no more hope for their repentance.  Notice: The world in Noah’s...

Our body is a tabernacle.  And our tabernacle is comparable to the tabernacle the Jews had in the wilderness. 2 Cor 5:1 “Our earthly house of this tabernacle”.  As the tabernacle in the wilderness was earthly and temporary, and the one in heaven eternal, so our body is earthly and...

There are several ways that the truth of the words of God has been declared.  The declaration of truth has been verbal, visible, written, and testified. Verbal declaration – someone heard the Lord speak.  See Jn 1:18, 1 Jn 1:1-5, and 2 Pet 1:16-21.  At Mt Sinai, the Jew’s heard...

Youth, Aging and Death Youth, Ecc 12:1 Remembering your Creator in the days of your youth is essential. Yet, every attempt has been made in our society to talk youth out of believing that God is the creator.  The condition of our society is evidence that youth do not retain...
