What happened to us when we believed the Gospel? Understanding our assured salvation and position in Christ: crucified with Him, buried with Him, raised from the dead with Him, baptized into Him, seated in heaven with Him, sealed by the Holy Spirit, and chosen before the foundation of the world.


Rightly Dividing the Word

The Basics of Understanding the Bible: To understand the Bible, we must understand the dispensations in the Bible. This article is a good starting point for rightly dividing the scriptures.

Dispensations of the Bible: This diagram accompanies the article above.

Israel's Kingdom Gospel and Our Grace Gospel: The differences between Peter's kingdom message for Israel and Paul's grace message for us and the transition between these two dispensations, plus Paul's analogy of the olive tree and our great commission.

Audio teaching by Les Feldick (MP3):
"The Abrahamic Covenant and the Olive Tree"
"The Mosaic and Davidic Covenants"
"Christ's Earthly Ministry and the Gospel of the Kingdom"
"The Book of Acts, the Stoning of Stephen, and the Call of Paul"
"Paul's Ministry, Salvation, and the Rapture"
These recordings are especially helpful in understanding the differences between the kingdom message for Israel and the grace message for us.

Prophecy and the End Times

Why should we study the Bible? And more specifically, why should we study Bible prophecy?

Fulfilled Prophecies and Other Evidence that the Bible is the Word of God: Daniel's 70 weeks, Israel to be scattered and regathered, Jerusalem to be a burdensome stone for all people, the mark of the beast, and other prophecies.

God will yet choose Israel: Has God cast away Israel for good?

The Tribes of Israel: Studies of the ancient history of the tribes, their future in Bible prophecy, and their recent history. Also, some false doctrines concerning the tribes will be dispelled.

Four views of End Times Prophecy: This comparison of four different views of the end times explains why the rapture will occur before the tribulation, which will occur before the millennial kingdom.

The Tribulation: Israel's Seventieth Week: A detailed chronological study of the tribulation events including the seals, trumpets, bowls of wrath, the Antichrist, the woman on the beast, the fall of Babylon, and the Lord's return.

Added in 2023! - Gospel in the Tribulation and in Christ's Earthly Ministry: What gospel will be preached during the tribulation, and what gospel was preached during Christ's earthly ministry?

The Millennial Kingdom Reign of Jesus Christ: What will it be like? Animals become peaceful, life spans increased, no more war, the judges restored, Israel to be a kingdom of priests, all nations to keep the feast of tabernacles, the temple, the law, and major geographical changes.


Hell

Hell Part 1: Assurance of Eternal Torment for the Lost: Will the wicked really spend eternity in flames of torment? Yes, the Bible makes this abundantly clear.

Hell Part 2: The Differences between Hades and the Lake of Fire: The meanings of the words Hades, Sheol, Gehenna, Tophet, and the Lake of Fire provide a better understanding of the destiny of the wicked. Other terms such as Paradise, Abraham's Bosom, Tartarus, Abyss, and the grave are also examined.


Our Lord Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ: Almighty God: Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Creator, the Alpha and Omega, the Almighty God.

Evidence that Jesus Christ is the Messiah: Evidence by fulfilled prophecy, as well as Old Testament types and shadows.

Israel's Gospel of the Kingdom: The message of John the Baptist, Jesus Christ, and the twelve Apostles in their proper context, in light of the Old Testament prophecies.
