The Resurrection Matters

1 Corinthians 15:1-5 (The Gospel in Summary) 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received , and wherein ye stand ; 2 By which also ye are saved , if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: The Easter or Resurrection season is more than cute bunnies who lay chocolate eggs or a long weekend. It is a celebration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and stems from the most important events in human history. In summary, the Gospel can be summarised in four main points: Death : Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures Burial : He was buried; Resurrection : He rose again on the third day according to the Scriptur

Israel at War: Prophecy Fulfilled?

Gog & Magog (Part 02) We continue to explore the fascinating and vital topic of end-times prophecy. One of the major themes is that Israel will be ‘at war’ during the last days. We have a few wars to choose from including Psalm 83 , Armageddon and Gog and Magog of Ezekiel 38-39 . In Part 01, we learned that this conflict was instigated by an enemy from the ‘north quarter’ and in the ‘latter days.’ The identity of Gog has traditionally been Russia but another strong contender is modern-day Turkey.   To read Part 01 , click here: http://majdali.blogspot.com/2024/02/israel-at-war-prophecy-fulfilled-gog.html Other major points about this prophecy include (all references are from Ezekiel): Israel the People shall be living in the land of Israel at the time of the invasion: After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel ... ( 38:8 KJV) . There

Patience: Key to the Promises of God Part 03

‘Patience: Why You Need It; How To Get It’ For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise - Hebrews 10:36 . Patience matters. It is a Biblical virtue, part of the fruit of the Spirit, and indispensable for surviving and thriving in the last days. Most importantly, along with faith, it is a key to obtaining the promises of God.   This is our third and final part of the series on patience. Part One was an introduction to this subject with an amplified definition and description. To access Part One , click this link. http://majdali.blogspot.com/2023/09/patience-key-to-unlocking-blessings-of.html Part 02 spoke about the patience of Job; he is a great case study of patient endurance and experiencing the mercy and compassion of God during trials. For Part 02 , click this link: http://majdali.blogspot.com/2024/02/patience-key-to-promises-of-god-part-02.html In Part Three , we focus on the practical side: the benefits of patience and why y

Israel at War: Prophecy Fulfilled? Gog & Magog

Ezekiel 38:2 (KJV) Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him. 2 Peter 1:19 (KJV) We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts. Matthew Henry’s Commentary of Ezekiel 38   ... this prophecy, it is most probable, had its accomplishment some time after the return of the people of Israel out of their captivity ... If the sacred history of the Old Testament had reached as far as the prophecy, we should have been better able to understand these chapters, but, for want of that key, we are locked out of the meaning of them. Introducing Gog and Magog With war in the Middle East raging and potential apocalyptical scenarios remaining a possibility, it is prudent to explore the vital subject of Bible prophecy. It is a light that shines in a dark place (2 Peter 1:19). A significan

Patience: Key to the Promises of God Part 02 ‘The Patience of Job’

That you do not become sluggish but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises - Hebrews 6:12 In our changing, trying times, the one thing we need above all else is divine patience; it can help you plough through the obstacles and keep going unto victory. More than that, it is a key to receiving the promises of God. Abraham had it, and so did Job - what about you? In Part One we defined and described what is Biblical patience, based in part from James 5:7-11 . You can read it for yourself at http://majdali.blogspot.com/2023/09/patience-key-to-unlocking-blessings-of.html The paragon of patience was the patriarch Job. Few people have suffered as much as this man. He was exceedingly blessed by God and then tragedy hit on many fronts: in one calendar day, he lost his flocks, workers, and children. If that weren’t enough, he lost his health. His wife told him to let go of his integrity: just curse God and die. Fortunately for him and us, he did not listen to her.   An
