“Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. 35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.” Daniel 2:34-35.

Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, was shown a great image in a vision. Daniel explains that God was showing the king the course of Gentile history, and that God would establish His own kingdom in His on time and own way. The book of Revelation gives added details.

We have written articles on the ten toes and ten horns. Each of these represents ten Gentile nations in an alliance surrounding Israel. You will notice that the stone cut out without hands, hits the gentile image in the feet. This assures us that the Second Advent of Christ will not happen until these ten nations are in place and ruled by Antichrist. These events will be the end of Gentile dominion over the nation of Israel. “And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” Luke 21:24.

Kingdoms, many times are referred to as a mountain. The context is always the key. Not only are the Gentile powers reduced to chaff; they are blown away. Never again will they harass Israel. The stone evolves into a great mountain that eventually fills the whole earth.

This event is not the end of the world, but it is the end of this age. A new age begins with Christ’s Kingdom. It begins in Israel, and will be preached to the whole world, that Jesus the King, is ruling in Jerusalem. This will be the message of the, so called, great commission.

How far away is that event? No one knows. We do know that the ten nations must be allied first, and that the Antichrist comes from one of them, (Syria.) Also, there must be seven years of tribulation before the Stone strikes the Gentile powers. How long? No one knows. Also, that will not be the end of the earth, but is will end this age, and a new age begins. Between these events, the rapture of the  saved takes place. Are you saved and ready for that great event?

SPURTS AND EXPERTS

by

 

 

 

 

By Ken Blue

 

Dr. Tom Malone was my pastor and professor while I was in College. I remember him saying that an “Expert is just any little spurt away from home.” I have met many of these in my journey, and on occasion, I have been mistaken for one. What I have learned is that the real experts are those who agree with me. How about you?

 

One thing I do know for sure is that no one is an expert in Bible hermeneutics until they learn to apply the following command of Paul in his Pastoral Epistles. “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15. For those of you who want to play word gymnastics, the Greek word is. ὀρθοτομέω which means to “…make a straight cut, i.e. (figurative) to dissect (expound) correctly (the divine message) :- rightly divide.” Strongs.

 

We must know how to rightly divide the different ages, dispensations, times, seasons, customs, idioms, Jews, Gentiles, the covenants, the testaments, churches, times past, present time, times to come, Israel’s last days of prophecy, the last days of this church dispensation, kingdom of heaven, kingdom of God, Peters apostleship, Paul’s apostleship, why God saved and commissioned Paul, the doctrinal section of Scripture, the practical section of Scripture, who is speaking, who is being addressed, the sign on the door, and the difference between interpretation and application.

 

The above is a good place to start. One can be saved and get “a blessing,” without knowing these, but no one is an “expert” in handling the Word of God until he can dissect these correctly. If you cannot identify the historical books of the New Testament, from the church epistles and the Jewish epistles, and from within these, find the three transitional books therein, you are not equipped for serious Bible teaching.

 

Now, I have said all this, in order to say the following. Those who fail to see that the ministry of Jesus Christ was to the Jews only, can’t possibility give a correct interpretation of Scripture. “Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:” (Romans 15:8). To argue that the four Gospels describe the birth of the body of Christ, and that the rapture of the body of Christ is taught therein, is a colossal failure to rightly divide the Word of God.

 

Christmas is just a few days away. I am sure you could use some spending money. I will give $100.00 to the first person who can prove that the rapture of the church, revealed to Paul, is taught in the Gospels. Don’t get self-righteous on me. Just show us, and collect.

CAN HOMOSEXUALS GO TO HEAVEN?

question mark

By Ken Blue

“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.

I am aware of the debate as to whether this passage is speaking of heaven or the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. We will leave that decision to others. Now, lest I be misunderstood, let me say I believe homosexual sin is the sickest sin on earth. I am also aware that Paul speaks of a generation that God “gave up.” However, according to the above passage, He must not have given up on individual homosexuals, for the text says, “Such were some of you.”

[pullquote align=”right” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]If a practicing homosexual cannot go to heaven, then we must be consistent and ask about the others in the same list.[/pullquote]

The questions we ask is can a practicing homosexual go to heaven, or enter the kingdom? If the answer is that they cannot, and I am not suggesting they can, then we must be consistent and ask about the others in the same list. Can the people in your church who are shacking up go to heaven? What about those who commit adultery, those who rob God, those who get drunk, the  railer, or those who cheat on their income tax? What if those in the list are saved and backslide, are they still saved?

What was the sin greater than that of Sodom?

“And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.” Matthew 11:23-24.

What does verse 24 mean?

I can hear your criticism, now for your answer.

WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE DEATHS, GUNS, DRUGS, OR ALCOHOL?

by

guns

 

Several police officers who have been members of the church that I pastored for years told me that if we would eliminate alcohol and drugs, it would reduce the crime rate in America by at least 80%. Almost every crime involving a gun, involves alcohol or drugs. Why go after the guns? Why not go after the alcohol and the drugs. Could government income have anything to do with not putting a stop to them? Sell the sucker the drugs and drink, and get his money. Then wait until he breaks the law and get his money again. Tax it and then fine those who use it! That’s the game. If that doesn’t work, put them in jail or prison so your state can demand more federal tax dollars.  Crime is big business, and not just for the “criminals.” Only fools with an agenda, believe guns are the cause of crime. Thus, you can expect them to EXPLOIT, EXPLOIT, AND EXPLOIT every crime or accident that involves a gun. We might take them seriously, if they would add the rest of the story, which involves alcohol and drugs. Until then, we view them as a bunch of HYPOCRITES. You’re welcome.
