Lessons From the Feast of Trumpets

With the mighty blast of the “seventh trumpet,” Jesus Christ will return to the earth in power, to establish his throne in Jerusalem, ruling all mankind, and to put down his enemies, and reward the faithful. All this is pictured by a Biblical feast, the Feast of Trumpets, as explained in this message.

The Two Covenants — Part 7

Can one become a party to the New Covenant merely by “confessing the name of Christ?” Does one have to be a member of this or that particular church organization or body to be party to the New Covenant? Is the Covenant individual or collective? How long is the Covenant to remain effective? Once entered into, can it be broken? These questions must be answered if we are to know where we stand before God and with relation to His Covenant.

The Two Covenants — Part 6

When God entered into the Old Covenant with Israel at Mt. Sinai he told them that if they would obey his voice, his commandments, they would be to him “a kingdom of priests and a holy nation” (Exodus 19:6). They agreed to the terms of the covenant, saying “All that the Lord has spoken we will do” (Exodus 19:8). But the Old Covenant failed, and a new covenant was to be established to fulfill the plan of God for mankind. Why did the Old Covenant fail? What was missing? And how is what was missing in the Old Covenant accounted for in the New Covenant, so God’s purpose may be fulfilled?

And, does the replacing of the Old Covenant with the New free us, as many believe, from the obligation to obey God’s voice? His commandments?

The Two Covenants — Part 4

In our series on the two covenants, we have reached the point of asking, and finding the Biblical answer to, the questions of what was the problem with the Old Covenant that it had to be replaced? It’s not what most have assumed, or been taught by the purveyors of false doctrine.

Was spiritual conversion required under the Old Covenant? Was it Possible? These are key questions, the answers of which need to be understood if we are to truly understand where the Old Covenant, and its replacement, the New Covenant, fit in God’s dealings with mankind.

The Two Covenants — Part 2

Why was the “Old Covenant” given to Israel? Why was it given at the time that it was? What were the conditions of the world in general at that time? How does the Old Covenant relate to the New Covenant, and God’s plan of salvation for mankind? The Bible has the answers, as explained in this message.
