Feast Of Trumpets And The Rapture Of The Bible

Decent Essays
On this Feast of Trumpets (Day of Remembrance), we ought to look back and remember how the events that took place at the foot of Mount Sinai point to the Rapture of the Church. In addition, we ought to look back to the binding of Isaac and remember how God, seeing the need, provided a (temporary) sacrifice. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is our “Jehovah-Jireh” - the God who sees and provides. Yahweh, seeing our need, provided the perfect sacrifice in His Son Yeshua. Let us now rejoice in the knowledge that our names are permanently inscribed in the Lamb's Book of

    Swords, shields, and spears loudly clank against each other as a troop advances on its enemies. Darkness shades the land as it moves forward to strike. It reaches its target, devastating the opponents and putting them to flight far from their own land. The leader of the troop—a man named Abram—retrieves all the spoil left behind by the enemy, rescues his cousin, Lot, and the women who were taken captive (Gen. 14:14-16). He returns south and is met by the distinguished king of Sodom and another, more mysterious king, Melchizedek (Gen. 14:17).…

    Varner talks about how most Jewish people overlook this part, because they only are interested in their own glory instead of the glory of Christ. He then addresses what a Messiah is, one who delivers a group, which in the old testament meant that the Messiah would deliver them away from evil and into good. This concept in itself is great, in fact it 's necessary, however what the Jews failed to see is that being saved requires you to sacrifice your heart to God, which also means that God will be over all their false idols. Which this concept they did not understand, as we saw they only wanted a Messiah for their selfish…

    Anti-Semitism in the Gospel of John Many people today discredit the validity of the Gospel of John because it includes content that may be interpreted as anti-Jewish. This material could be a reflection of the emerging division between Jewish Christian and Jews. In this paper, I will be inspecting the Gospel of John to validate the presence of anti-Semitic material. Exploration of the historical background of this time will be analyzed to determine the derivation of anti-Semitism within this gospel based on the Gospel of John’s negative representation of the Jews and their traditions.…

    One way in which Maugham presents ideas of love and desire is destructively. This is evident when Kitty’s love for Charlie leads to Walter presenting her with an ultimatum; either Walter ‘files for a petition’ or she goes with him to Mei-Tan-Fu. Maugham punishes Kitty’s choices and sends her to her potential death, which shows that Kitty’s adultery can have dire consequences. Kitty’s love for Charlie leads to her virtual death sentence and Walter’s self-hatred of having an unrequited love causes him to go with her into a ‘cholera epidemic’. Maugham himself was a homosexual and knew about the need to hide this from the disapproving society he lived in.…

    The Thin-skinned Tyrant Hits Back—Really Hard The Antichrist is obsessed with persecuting the saints. There is some disagreement over whether or not these saints include believers in Christ that enter into the tribulation period or whether these saints are “new” believers in Christ that come to faith during the tribulation. It all depends on one’s interpretation on the timing of what’s called the rapture; an event where God removes believers from the earth by a super-natural snatching away of the saints. Again, I don’t want to get bogged down into various theological interpretations having to do with the timing of these things because that is beyond the scope of this book.…

    Several decades after Jesus’ accession and promise of his return, many early Churches struggled with what they consider a delay in Christ's return. In waiting for the triumphant return, the Church found itself in a quandary. Conversely, they diligently worked to faithfully fulfill the evangelical command given by Jesus upon his departure, experiencing growth and expansion. Although, Jesus warned of the cost of following him (Luke 14:25-33), those who chose to accept that cost, found that the perceived delay in his return, in conjunction with the continuous threat of death, was taking a toll even amongst the most pious (1 and 2 Thessalonians).…

    In the Bible, John refers to Jesus as the “Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). In Revelation, John often refers to Jesus as the Lamb using a different Greek word. It is believed that John was referring to the Passover Lamb because its blood spared the Israelites from the death of their firstborn. The Passover feast is the main Jewish holiday that celebrates God releasing the Israelites from bondage. Sacrificing lambs in the temple was a part of the Jewish religion.…

    God commanded Abraham, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I shall show you” and Abraham obeyed (Gen 22:2-3 NRSV). Out of all the possible places, God singled out Mount Moriah to be the ground in which this religious test would take place.

Mount Moriah is referred to as ‘Mount of the Lord’ elevating the religious sites’ significance by attaching its self to such a holy title.…
