Jesus is Not Yet Seated on David’s Throne

Other progressives hold that Christ's being seated on David's throne is exclusively reserved for the Millennium, (as do traditional dispensationalists). The purpose of this article is to show … Continue reading Jesus is Not Yet Seated on David’s Throne
Another Prophet Like Moses Would Come & Israel’s Division
Copyright © Tim Warner 4windsfellowships.net Dispensationalists mistakenly think that God's program for Israel was suspended on the Day of Pentecost, and "the Church" was begun. Many non-dispensationalists think God's program for Israel was cancelled completely, by Israel's rejection of Jesus as Messiah. Both are wrong. When Jesus came, a prophesied change occurred within the nation … Continue reading Another Prophet Like Moses Would Come & Israel’s Division
Preterism Proof Text Hebrews 12:28

Preterism – Secret Second Coming of Jesus
Copyright © Tim Warner - 2003 All orthodox Christians acknowledge the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

These are the passages where Jesus expounded His second coming in greatest detail, the time delay between his first and second … Continue reading Preterism – Time Texts in the New Testament

Who are the 24 Elders in Revelation 5:8?
The 24 elders in Revelation are 24 angels that offer incense for the Holy Ones which are saints or as we would call them Christians. They mirror the 24 courses of the Levite priesthood created by King David in 1 Chronicles 24:1-19. Using the correct Greek grammar we realise that elders cannot be human.
