DOES GOD WORK IN OUR LIVES TODAY? Many believe that God does not work in the lives of believers in the dispensation of the mystery. I believe that He does, but we can not be certain of when He does because we live in a dispensation that is absent of signs.. Does that mean that […]

TO WHOM DOES II THESS. 2:6-9 REFER? “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (“the day of Christ” vs. 2, i.e. His second coming, ) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, who opposeth and exalteth himself […]

WHAT EXACTLY IS THE MYSTERY THAT HAD BEEN HID IN GOD? From my discussions with Christians who are honestly searching the Word of God, I have realized that many do not really understand exactly what the secret is that had been hid in God. I hope this paper will help alleviate that problem. The mystery […]

THE END OF THE CHURCH IN THE END TIMES I believe that the church began after the end of the Acts period when Israel was set aside as God’s chosen people (please see the paper on this web-site When Did The Church Begin? for the Scriptural evidence for that belief).  It is clear that the […]

IS THERE AN ELECTION WITHIN AN ELECTION? ARE ALL BELIEVERS IN THE DISPENSATION OF THE MYSTERY MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH WHICH IS HIS BODY? There are many that hold to the Acts 28 position, ie. that the Church began after Acts 28, that believe that only those believers who understand the mystery revealed to Paul […]

CONDITIONAL PROPHECY There are some prophesies that are said to be conditional. For example, we read in Lev. 26 that if Israel will obey the law (a stated condition) they will be blessed, and if they do not obey (a stated condition) they will be punished. There are also some prophesies that are not said […]

WHO WERE CHOSEN BEFORE THE OVERTHROW OF THE WORLD? 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 […]

A STUDY OF PSALM 110:1 There is some controversy about the meaning of Psalm 110:1. In the KJV it reads, “The Lord (Jehovah) said unto my Lord, ‘Sit Thou at My right hand, Until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool”. It is the Hebrew word translated “my Lord” that is problematic. Most agree that it […]

THE ANTICHRIST WILL NOT BE JEWISH I had always assumed the antichrist would be Jewish because if he was going to try to pass himself off as the true Messiah, he would have to be Jewish. But because I had not found any Scriptural evidence to support that view, I was never quite certain of […]

THE NON-EVENTS OF 70 A.D. There are three prophetic passages that are widely interpreted as having been completed in 70 AD. Those three are Matt. 24:1-2, Matt. 22:1-13 and Luke 21:20-24. We are told by historians that the Temple and the city of Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD by the Romans. But these events […]

WAS THE NEW COVENANT IN EFFECT DURING THE ACTS PERIOD? Many Bible believing Christians believe that the New Covenant was in “partial effect” during the Acts period. I disagree with that belief and offer this paper in an effort to state my reasons for that disagreement. I believe that at the center of this misconception […]

 WAS THE LAW OF MOSES ABOLISHED AT THE CROSS? One of the misconceptions concerning the Acts period is that the Law of Moses was not in effect after Christ’s death on the cross, and therefore, believing Israel should not have, or did not observe the law in the Acts period. Those who hold to this […]

WILL THERE BE “MANSIONS” IN HEAVEN? We read in Jn. 14:2, “In My Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you”. Let us set the scene for this passage. We read in Jn. 13:1, “Now before the feast of the […]

HOW CAN WE KNOW WHEN THIS PRESENT DISPENSATION ENDS AND THE NEXT BEGINS?   HOW CAN WE KNOW WHEN THIS PRESENT DISPENSATION ENDS AND THE NEXT BEGINS? I believe that the dispensation of the mystery began after Acts 28 when Israel was put aside as God’s chosen people. (For the Scriptural reasons for that belief […]
