 PDF Why is it Wrong for Christians to Predict When Christ Will Return to Earth?
AUTHORS:  Ankerberg, Dr. John / Weldon, Dr. John
If the Bible is clear on anything, it is that no one knows the specific time of Christ’s return—in fact, Jesus Himself said, “It is not for you to know….” But, for some reason, a lot of Christians aren’t listening to Jesus! What effect has that had on the Gospel message and the reputation of Jesus in this world?

 PDF The Abrahamic Covenant - Part 1
AUTHORS:  Showers, Dr. Renald
Holding to the Dispensational or Covenantal position on theology can have a profound impact on how you understand the Scriptures concerning the nation of Israel and end time events. Dr. Showers explains in the context of the covenant God gave to Abraham.
Covenants

HTML

 PDF The Abrahamic Covenant - Part 2
AUTHORS:  Showers, Dr. Renald
What parts of the Abrahamic Covenant have already been fulfilled? Is the Abrahamic Covenant conditional or unconditional in nature? Dr. Showers explains why the answer to that question is important.

 PDF The Abrahamic Covenant - Part 3
AUTHORS:  Showers, Dr. Renald
Theologians disagree concerning whether the Abrahamic Covenant is conditional or unconditional. In this article Dr. Showers points out several significant things that must be noted before drawing a conclusion on the nature of the covenant.

 PDF The Abrahamic Covenant - Part 4
AUTHORS:  Showers, Dr. Renald
Last month’s article noted six significant things that indicate the Abrahamic Covenant is unconditional—not dependent upon Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, or their descendents, the nation of Israel, for fulfillment. This months article looks at four additional significant factors regarding the unconditional nature of the Covenant.

 PDF The Abrahamic Covenant - The Effects Upon Israel - Part 1
AUTHORS:  Showers, Dr. Renald

Covenants

HTML

 PDF The Abrahamic Covenant - The Effects Upon Israel - Part 2
AUTHORS:  Showers, Dr. Renald
This month Dr. Showers explains how and why the Abrahamic Covenant guarantees Israel permanent ownership of the land. They have the right to live in and exist there as a nation. That right will not terminate even if they are forced out again in the future.

 PDF The Davidic Covenant - Part 1
AUTHORS:  Showers, Dr. Renald
Although God did not allow David to build the Temple, he did establish a significant covenant with him. This month Dr. Showers begins an examination of this covenant, found in 2 Samuel 7:8-16.

 PDF The Davidic Covenant - Part 2
AUTHORS:  Showers, Dr. Renald
In 2 Samuel 7:16 God made several promises to David regarding his line of descent and his kingdom. Have these promises already been fulfilled, as some believe? Or is there a future fulfillment yet to come?
Covenants

HTML

 PDF The Davidic Covenant - Part 3
AUTHORS:  Showers, Dr. Renald
Bible scholars disagree concerning when and how God’s promises concerning David are to be fulfilled in Jesus Christ. But, as Dr. Showers points out this month, several biblical items indicate that Christ will fulfill God’s promises concerning David in the Davidic Covenant in the future—after His second coming.

 PDF The Deuteronomic Covenant - Part 1
AUTHORS:  Showers, Dr. Renald
As a new generation was about to begin a new chapter in Israel’s history, it had to be reminded in a solemn way of Israel’s special covenant relationship with Jehovah. This reminder, says Dr. Showers, appears to have been the purpose of the Deuteronomic Covenant.

 PDF The New Covenant - Part 2
AUTHORS:  Showers, Dr. Renald
In part 1 Dr. Showers showed that the Old Testament indicated that God would establish the New Covenant with the literal people of Israel.
