The phrase “the blessed hope” comes from Titus 2:13, which says, “Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.” This verse does not speak of death or judgment, but of an anticipated event, the appearing of Jesus...
The Word of God, taken literally, establishes a clear prophetic order that renders the post-tribulation rapture untenable. If we rightly divide the Word and do not spiritualize what is plainly stated, the return of Christ for His Church must come before the wrath...
The Heavenly Jerusalem is a real, literal city that has been prepared by God for those who belong to Him. It is not symbolic, not allegorical, and not merely a spiritual concept—it is the eternal dwelling place of the saints. Hebrews 11:10 speaks of Abraham looking...
Hell is one of the most serious, sobering doctrines in Scripture. It is also one of the most debated—especially when it comes to the question of the nature and duration of punishment for the wicked. This study is not based on emotional reaction or tradition, but on...

"No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6:44). This verse has long been misused by proponents of deterministic theology to argue for a selective salvation—yet when we follow proper...
