When did the last days begin?

Answered by . May 30, 2010 - 4:49 pm

The Bible uses the term “last days” in several different ways. For example: But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, […]

Will the world be replaced after the 1000 year reign of Christ?

Answered by . May 22, 2010 - 10:28 pm 4

The Bible says very little about what will happen at the end of the 1000 year reign of Christ. In fact, there are probably only two relevant passages: Revelation 20:7-15 which describes a final battle and final judgement, and 1 Corinthians 15:24-28 which says Then comes the end, when he [Christ] delivers the kingdom to God […]

Jesus referred to many signs of his return in the Olivet prophecy, recorded in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. The unmistakable signs are given in Matthew 24:29-30, “The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens […]

Does “heaven” stand for “God” in Matthew?

Answered by . April 8, 2010 - 10:29 pm

When Matthew uses the phrase “kingdom of heaven” he means exactly the same thing as the “kingdom of God”. However, I don’t know any other context where Matthew uses “heaven” in place of “God”, and he often uses heaven to mean heaven (e.g., Matthew 3:17; 5:12,16). Matthew is the only writer who uses “kingdom of […]

Is the church the same as the kingdom of God?
