“The Antichrist” Myth
The Antichrist – a term broadly used throughout the Church to describe a single man who will come to rule the whole world – is a myth based upon an old rumor.
This rumor has its first and only biblical reference in 1 John 1:18 –
1 John 2:18 Little children, it is a last hour; and as you have heard that Antichrist is coming,

Daniel 9:24-27 Examined, Part 6: Do Verses 26b-27 Prophesy Future Events?
Daniel 9:26b “…and people of a leader/commander, the one coming in, he shall cause to destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end shall be with a flood of attackers, and unto an end of battle/warfare, desolations being decreed. 27 And he shall cause to prevail/confirm (or, shall

Preparing for Combat
Every soldier, Christian or otherwise, preparing for combat must train for combat.
A believer posting in a Christian forum wherein doctrines are discussed and debated should be prepared to get battered and cut. Because the Word is a sharp sword, and it is a rod of iron. People always get injured during heavy training
Replacement Theology Brings a Curse
The Catholic Church and some of the older Reformed churches have a long history of religious anti-Semitism, much of which traces its roots to replacement theology. This evil teaching has been staging a resurgence, including on WCF and throughout the Western world.
The original promulgator of this doctrine was Origen (ca. 185 – 254 A. D.), who promoted the belief that the Gentile Church has replaced Israel in God’s plans and promises. The Israelites r
The Sobering Situation in Israel
In an analysis of Israel’s strategic threat environment and imperatives published at the Claremont Review of Books, author and military analyst Mark Helprin distinguished the threat Hamas poses to Israel from the threat Israel faces from Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon and Iran.
Hamas, Helprin explained, is not and has never been an existential threat to Israel. Hezbollah and Iran are existential threats to Israel. Hezbollah’s arsenal of 150,000 rockets an

The Parousia of the Son of Man
The Greek term παρουσíα/parousia has become a stumbling block to many in the modern Church, particularly so among those who teach a pre-tribulation rapture. However, Jesus and His disciples were consistent in its use, as this study will show.
Parousia is a noun, derived from the present participle of the verb pareimi, w

The Mistranslation of John 1:1
[Be forewarned: for many, this may be difficult to understand.]
John 1:1 In [the] beginning was the Word…
When the Apostle John wrote this phrase, he did not include the definite article “the” before “beginning.” English-Bible translators have presumed that a “the” is implied, and so have included it.
This is
Trials and Temptations
A trial (a.k.a. a test) is a transition point when a choice must be made. Trials come every day.
A temptation comes when one listens to an evil spirit when meditating about a choice to be made.
One can blink away the evil spirit’s temptations. Literally.
God does not tempt anyone, but God does try everyone.
Eternity is when/where trials are not found, because the choices have been made.

The Three Heavens
There is a lot of misunderstanding about the three heavens/worlds above this material world. They are not places, as we generally understand that word: they are spiritual states of consciousness.
The New Jerusalem is a state of collective consciousness, that of the Bride of Christ. The Bride of Christ is the spiritual union of all b
The Prophesied Restoration of Israel After 7 Times, Part 1: 1578 – 1744 AD
On June 11, 1578 AD (5569 AA†), Sir Humphrey Gilbert was granted a 6-year patent by England’s Queen Elizabeth to explore and colonize North America. The first (failed) expedition, led by Walter Raleigh, took place between Sept. 1578 and May 1579. Gilbert was lost at sea during another attempt in 1583. Raleigh received a new 6-year patent on May 25, 1584, and planted colonies on Roanoke and Croatan Islands in present-

The Prophesied Restoration of Judah After 7 Times, Part 1: 1878 – 1897 AD
On August 8, 1878 AD, Petach Tikvah (Door of Hope) was founded, the first Latter-Day Jewish agricultural settlement in Palestine. In 1879 (5874 AA), it produced the first Jewish harvest in that land to be sold in Jerusalem since the destruction of the Temple by the Romans. Three years later, in 1882 AD (5877 AA), the first large Aliyahs (“Ascents”/Returns) of Jews to their ancient homeland began.
