“So I will establish my covenant with you, and you will know that I am the Lord. Then, when I make atonement for you for all you have done, you will remember and be ashamed and never again open your mouth because of your humiliation, declares the Sovereign Lord.” Ezekiel 16:62-63 NIV Then – When did…
But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive adoption as sons. Galatians 4:4-5 NASB Redeem – The Greek verb for “redeem” is exagorazo. It literally means “to…
For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.

Despite the popular claim that “Jesus” died…
All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. Hebrews 11:13 NASB The promises – Is it really true that all the saints in the hall of fame, all those righteous Old…
For the law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near. Hebrews 10:1 NASB Only/and – At least they had the decency to put the…
Start planning. Bob Gorelik and I will make a tour/study trip to Israel during the last week of April and the first week of May, 2014. The dates aren’t set in stone yet, but you can plan to be in Israel for Holocaust Remembrance Day (April 27, 2014) and Israel Independence Day (May 5, 2014)….
