Description
Christianity has obscured the fact that Jesus taught Judaism. This loss is visible in many ways, such as the misinterpretation of many New Testament Scriptures. This book rediscovers the unyielding, even strengthened, commitment to the Law by Jesus and the New Testament authors. With both Bible citations and historical references, this book restores a full understanding of the gospel of the Jewish kingdom. Because Jesus taught Judaism, His followers...

Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from the twentieth century to the first century. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable -- but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive...

Are You Ready? #Harpazo
In the Christian community, predicting the exact timing, order, and scope of end-time events has been a source of controversy and dispute. There are varying views on what is called "the Second Coming" and "the Rapture." In addition, there is much discussion as to whether the Rapture and the Second Coming are two separate events or one event with two phases. This written work is designed to break down end-time preparation,...

This book contains extremely important information regarding the Holy Spirit that, to my knowledge, cannot be found other than through this Ministry. The Holy Spirit has a particular "Way" that He Works in the hearts and lives of Believers. Unfortunately, most in the modern church world have little or no understanding of that particular "Way." I personally believe this book will also shed some light on the Baptism with the Holy Spirit, as well as...

The temple was, erected to portray God's glory, majesty, and grace, which was to be, revealed in his son, Jesus.
"That I may dwell among them" was a revelation of his plan for the future "Emanuel" God with us. There was nothing on earth like the tabernacle, and there was no greater experience to have than the presence of the Almighty God, both in sensing his presence and seeing the Shekinah light of his glory in the most holy place.
This tabernacle...

These three short prophetic books of the Old Testament each contain a dual message. On one hand are messages of impending judgment-for all peoples on the Day of the Lord, for an enemy of Israel, and for Israel herself. On the other hand are messages of great hope-of the pouring out of God's Spirit, of restoration and renewal, and of a coming Messiah. Placing judgment and hope together in such a manner may seem paradoxical to a contemporary mindset....

Reading Joshua can be, frankly, a jarring experience. Serious, troubling questions about God's attitude toward his created peoples arise, questions with no easy answer. But the book of Joshua presents itself, warts (and wars!) and all, and asks readers to let it tell its story from its point of view and out of its ancient context. It asks them to give it the benefit of the doubt and permit it to speak to them. This commentary aims to give its voice...

Could Judas have been, forgiven? Did he ask for forgiveness? Will an earthly court adjudge him unforgiveable? Many questions surround the destiny and eternity of the man who sold his Lord and Master for thirty pieces of silver and committed suicide thereafter. But even, the divinity of Jesus (in most people's psych) makes Judas more accursed.
Patrick Muntu explores the minds of the opposing sides on these questions. He sums up acknowledging the supremacy...

The standard take on Creation is that it displays God's power for all to see through what has been created. But there is more to the Creation account than meets the eye. Not only did God reveal himself through what was created but also in how he created it.
Have you ever wondered why it took God so long to create the heavens and the earth? He could have done it in the blink of an eye. But he chose six days. Why?
The answer is found in his intentional...
