The Cosmic Temple & Spiritualized Eschatology, Part 1

Paul Henebury

Israel’s temple was a symbolic shadow pointing to the eschatological “greater and more perfect tabernacle” (Heb. 9:11) in which Christ and the church would dwell and would form a part. If so, it would seem to be the wrong approach for Christians to look in hope to the building of another temple in Jerusalem composed of earthly “bricks and mortar” as a fulfillment of the OT temple prophecies. (G. K. Beale, A New Testament Biblical Theology, 634)

What Is Your Belief About the Future of the Jewish People in the End Times?

Ed Vasicek

There are a variety of beliefs about God’s plans for ethnic Israel and our understanding of eschatology. We are not talking about what some call “spiritual Israel,’ but people we identify as Jews who have some sort of Jewish heritage.

So where are you?

Golden Calf in Psalm 106

pvawter

I found an interesting perspective on the golden calf incident while studying today.

At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped the cast metal image.

They exchanged their glory for the image of a grass-eating ox.

Psalm 106:19-20

Why is 1 Timothy 5:23 in the Bible?

RajeshG

Paul wrote the following to Timothy, his son in the faith:

1 Timothy 5:23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.

Why is this verse in the Bible? How does God want Christians to profit from it?
