Since personal salvation is contingent upon one’s believing on the Lord Jesus Christ and His substitutionary death on our behalf, what, then, is the status of babies who did not live long enough to understand or exercise that required faith? What happens to babies, newborns, still-borns, and the aborted whose lives were cruelly terminated while they were still in the womb? Continue reading “Babies in Death Remain Redeemed”
It would seem only logical that with Christ ruling and reigning on the earth following His defeat of the Antichrist all would then be well with the earth. Satan is confined to the bottomless pit, the carnage of Armageddon will be passed, and the utopia longed for by humanity since the time it was lost in Genesis 3 has finally arrived. Poverty and disease will be no more. Righteousness will cover the earth. Continue reading “Christ – In the Eternal State “
George Frederick Handel, understandably struck by the claims of the Word of God as he read the 11th chapter of Revelation, was compelled to set it to music. Out of his fascination and compulsion, the famous oratorio bearing his name and the name of his subject was born. Known worldwide and performed frequently with great exuberance, Handel’s Messiah, or Jesus, the Messiah, as seen and set to music by George Frederick Handel…what an elaborate, absolute masterpiece. Continue reading “Christ – His Ultimate Reign “
Given the various governments established today that are entrenched in power throughout the world, it is, indeed, difficult to image them all swept aside as they are forced to fold. Kings and presidents, dictators, warlords, prime ministers, all existing heads of all existing states, in excess of two hundred governmental entities will come to an abrupt end. None shall be able to stand against the long-absent but returned King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Continue reading “Christ – His Ultimate Judgment “
Those familiar with the subject of biblical prophecy will recall the many times the coming of Christ is mentioned, but, what many do not realize is that both the first and the second comings are referenced multiple times, scores of times, and the Second Coming is prophesied in much more detail many more times than the prophecies concerning His first coming to Bethlehem as the Babe in the manger. Continue reading “Christ – His Second Coming (Part 2 )”
There is, perhaps, no issue that so captures the imagination of the world at large more than the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Such has been the case since His departure from the Mount of Olives, when He bodily ascended out of sight in the presence of His apostles. And, it may be said with certainty that no one then believed two thousand years would pass, and His promise of returning would still not be realized. Continue reading “Christ – His Second Coming (Part 1)”
The coming of Christ for His Church is a truth that is fraught with controversy among believers in the Lord Jesus. Much of the controversy could be eliminated by a careful reading of 1st Thessalonians 4, 1st Corinthians 15, and Titus 2. In this latter reference of Titus 2, believers are admonished to be looking for the “blessed hope in the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.” Continue reading “Christ – His Coming for His Church “
Apart from the two accounts we have from the inspired pen of Dr. Luke, the beloved physician, we really have no information about the ascension of Christ. The good doctor mentions it in both of the books he wrote, both in Luke and in the Acts…and in Luke, it’s the last chapter, and in Acts, it’s the first…and it had to have been really something. Continue reading “Christ – His Bodily Ascension to Heaven “
