The New Covenant in My Blood

And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. (Luke 22:20) When St. Jerome translated Luke 22:20 from Greek to Latin for the Vulgate, he translated “new covenant” as novum testamentum, which...

Revelation 3:10 – Kept from Trial

Does Revelation 3:10 teach that the church will be raptured before the Great Tribulation (Mat 24:21)? I read this week that Dr. Richard L. Mayhue said there is only one Second Coming but two events: 1) first the rapture, then 7 years later, and 2) the coming to judge....

Daniel 9 Amplified

No other OT text more specifically communicates the promise of a coming Messiah, Jesus the Christ, the Anointed One, than Daniel 9:24–27. Yet only a few other texts in the OT are as difficult as this prophecy. Using brackets [  ], I have attempted to provide you with...
