Resurrection of Christ

Seven Feasts of Israel

Ken

Jesus is the bedrock of all truth. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me” (John 14:6 KJV). Anyone who attempts to reveal truth to you must do so with Jesus as the key. Accept no substitutes. “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me” (5:39).  Israel’s Seven Feasts are fulfilled at Christ’s First and Second Comings, each revealing different roles, aspects, and relationships we have with Him. After all, everything is all about Him — not us. But, that is how we learn as much as we do about ourselves — through learning about Him.

In the Twinkling of an Eye

Ken

Heaven is a place, but it is also a change of dimension. Paul attempted to teach this truth to the Corinthians. “Behold, I shew [shō] you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed” (1Corinthians 15:51-52 KJV). The whole study of God and last things brings us to this mystery. In the blink of an eye, we shall change our dimension into Christ’s presence. The last or final blast of the trumpet for both the living and dead saints will produce this instantaneous change. This is the hope of rapture and resurrection for the Body of Christ. LORD, purify Your body of disciples in hope of this transformation. Come quickly. Lord Jesus. Amen.

FTV: Bible Translation to Avoid

Ken

I use many English translations of the Bible, but the King James Version (KJV), I trust the most, and admire for the beauty of its language. The New International Version (NIV) is best for continuity with mainstream Evangelicals. The New English Translation (NET) is quite useful for its translators’ notes. Asking different people to translate the same Original Text is getting their opinion on the meaning of that text. However, I facetiously warn against the Fairy Tale Version (FTV) of the Bible. Since a fairy tale is an incredible, idealized, highly improbable story that you only wish was true, then may the Spirit of God guard us from treating His Word in that fashion. “5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. 6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost: 7 So that ye were ensamples [examples] to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia. 8 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing. 9 For they themselves shew [shō] of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; 10 And to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come” (1Thessalonians 1:5-10 KJV).
