There is much prophecy that is left to be fulfilled before Christ’s return—those signs of which Jesus said to watch for, including the two witnesses. There are those who are certain that the return of Christ will be in AD 2027, two-thousand years after his ministry began. And there are those who are certain that the return of Christ will be in AD 2031, two-thousand years after his death. But those predictions are based on a misunderstanding of the “7000” year plan of God. See the newest article Pentecost, the End of the Age and Christ’s Return

Most of those who do recognize and keep the feasts of the LORD believe that the Eighth Day, which comes right after the Feast of Tabernacles, is a day of sadness and personal emotional restraint. Many speculative reasons are given for having this understanding. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. To find out why it’s a day of great rejoicing, read the article Eighth Day: a solemn assembly or a day of rejoicing?

The phrase is not found in the Bible. That’s because man didn’t fall from perfection or anything else; Adam was made from the dust of the earth, and Adam simply sinned when he disobeyed God. Adam was sent out to the east of the garden of Eden to till the ground; the same thing he did while in the garden of Eden (Gen 3:23,24). No falling mentioned. If the garden had been absolutely perfect, a Utopia, there would not have been a need for Adam to subdue, to till, and to maintain it (Gen 1:28; 2:5,15). The so-called “fall of man” (a.k.a, the fall of Adam) is just not there. Contrary to Joni Mitchell, God is not trying to get us back to the garden. The garden was just the starting point in God’s plan to bring mankind to perfection (Luke 6:40; John 17:23; Matt 5:48) and into His Family (1 Corinthians 15:28). What Adam did was to break the everlasting covenant: Romans 5:14; Leviticus 26:12; Jeremiah 7:23; 11:4; 30:22; Isaiah 24:5; Ezekiel 36:28; Hosea 6:7 (Darby, DRC, CPDV, LITV, YLT)

Have you ever found yourself wanting to overcome a particular temptation or to improve yourself in one area or another? However, in the process you became confused about how to proceed or kept failing to reach your goal. You became discouraged, so you quit. There is encouragement in the Bible which I want to share with you. These lessons helped me when I was young and I hope my openness in sharing these with you will give you the encouragement you may need to overcome the sin you see in yourself. Continue reading

It is not found in the Bible. If the Millennium is going to be a perfect utopia with no problems whatsoever, then there is no need for Christ to rule; or to judge among the nations and rebuke many people (Is 2:4; Micah 4:3); or for the Church to be priests and rule with him making judgments (Ps 9:8; 67:4; 149:9; 1 Cor 6:3). Yes, during the Millennium the nations will not be allowed to make war, but there will still be problems to solve, disputes to settle, crimes (sins) to judge, decisions to execute. It’s most definitely going to be a whole lot better with Satan bound for a thousand years, but it won’t be a utopia.
