Why is it necessary to understand dispensational truth? It is necessary because most people who do not approach the Bible dispensationally assume that God has only one plan for the ages, and that plan is for human beings to be saved. But if one desires to understand what we can of God, one must understand that […]

INTRODUCTION We read in Eph. 1:3-4, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love”. Much […]
INTRODUCTION In the section below I have given several passages which, in my opinion, prove that the Bible is indeed the Word of God. But there are some passages, the explanation of which will be either accepted or rejected on the basis of faith because there are, at times, two ways to interpret a given […]
We read in Hosea 1:9, “Then said God, ‘Call his name Lo-ammi; for ye are not My People, and I will not be your God’”. This prophecy was fulfilled during the seventy year captivity of Israel. That is to say, for seventy years Israel was not God’s people. But Israel is also lo-ammi in the […]
This study of the judgments of God will focus on when God has judged and will judge. Another focus will be on who He will judge. By determining when and who God judges we will see that almost all the passages that most Bible believing Christians believe to be referring to a judgment of the resurrected unbeliever are not about […]
We read the term “the judgment seat of Christ” in two New Testament passages. Those are Romans 14:10 and II Cor. 5:10. Romans 14:10 reads, “But why dost thou judge thy brother? Or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ“. And II Cor. 5:10 reads, “For we must […]
I believe that many will be quite disappointed with some sections of this paper because they do not even attempt to answer many of the issues that are so prevalent today in discussions of the end times. For example, the section on the beast of Rev. 17 does not attempt to address the question of […]
INTRODUCTION The question is often asked, especially among dispensationalists, “when did the church begin?”. Many believe that because the church is characterized by an equality of Jews and Gentiles that the church began when that characterization was manifested. Many say that the preaching of the gospel of salvation to the Gentiles was the first manifestation […]
Let us begin our study with a consideration of Ex. 21:22-24 which reads in the KJV, “If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him: and he shall pay […]
We read in Eph. 3:2, “If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation He made known unto me the mystery…..”. . The note on the word translated “if” in the Companion Bible reads, “Followed by the Indicative Mood, the hypothesis is assumed […]
WHAT IS IT? WHERE IS IT? WHEN IS IT? We will consider the following subjects in connection with our study of the kingdom of Heaven: The term “kingdom of Heaven” Why is the term “kingdom of Heaven” used in Matthew’s Gospel only? The parables of the kingdom of Heaven The kingdom of Heaven and the […]
WAS JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFED ON THE DAY OF PASSOVER? I believe most would answer the question posed in the title of this study with an affirmative, as I do. But there are passages that seem to suggest that Christ was crucified before the day of Passover. For example, we read in Jn. 19:31, “The Jews […]
The question that I will address in this paper is whether the wife of Rev. 19 and the bride of Rev. 21 are two different groups in the same dispensation. This question is part of the broader question of whether there are two callings in the dispensation of the mystery. (The broader question is addressed […]
