Dispensationalists teach a parenthesis (2000-year gap) between the 69th and 70th week, which becomes the church age of grace, essentially starting from Christ’s resurrection and extending all the way until the rapture of His Church just prior to His second coming. The future 7-year tribulation period is Daniel’s final 70th week of years (7 years). The Old Testament refers to this period as “the time of Jacob’s (Israel’s) trouble”.

A Mass service (which is sometimes called Communion or Eucharist) is where Christians remember that Jesus died for us was resurrected.

The purpose for the need of justification is important and is what should spur anyone into wanting to completely surrender their life to Christ. The reason that people need justification is so that they can have freedom from their human nature, which is the need to want to sin all of the time. Whether a person actually wants to sin or not is not the point, the point is that no matter what a person says they…

Neoclassical style painting. The looseness of the brushstrokes also add to the high level of emotion, action and intensity within the photo. The figures are in action.
