The Right To Rule

What makes God qualified to sit on the throne and rule the cosmos? The Bible gives at least 3 good reasons he is worthy of the job.

Angelic elders know why he occupies the central throne. Do you?

Is he supreme judge just because he is the most powerful? Does might make right?

Find out how God sees himself, how he describes his own character (hint: Exodus 34:6-7) that makes him worthy to rule.

Apocalyptic Studies - Lesson 7

Israel and Her Prophetic Destiny
by Ed Taylor

Understanding God's plans for Israel is an important key to understanding apocalyptic revelation in the bible.

In this study we discuss Replacement Theology, Paul's teaching in Romans 11 on national Israel's destiny, Jewish election and priority, and Israel as firstborn son among the nations. Also covered is a high level overview of prophetic events recently fulfilled and those still future for Israel including the return of Israel from global exile to their own land, the end of Gentile control of Jerusalem, Psalm 83 prophecy, Ezekiel's war (Gog and Magog), and Zechariah's prophecy about all nations being gathered to fight against Jerusalem.
