Is it true that 2 Timothy 3:16-17 refers only to the Old Testament since there was no New Testament yet? In actuality, some of the New Testament was already in existence by the time Paul wrote 2 Timothy. Paul likely wrote 2 Timothy not long before his death, which many believe to be around A.D.… Read More Bible Q&A: Is 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Talking Only About The Old Testament?
Intertestamental history would show that the Jews would encounter trials and problems over the centuries after returning home, but God would be with them. However, this redemptive journey home also serves as “a shadow of the good things to come” in Christianity. God calls all who have left Him because of sin through the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ to all the world (Rom. 3:23; Is. 59:2; Mk. 16:15-16; Matt. 28:18-20; 2 Thess. 2:13-14).… Read More Zechariah: Prophecies About the Intertestamental Period and the Church

It strengthens my faith to see – in us – the fulfillment of these prophecies.… Read More Zechariah: A Warning, Some Encouragement, and a Messianic Prophecy
If you and I disagree on a matter I’m not going to tell you how I feel, what the Holy Spirit “said” to me, what God “laid on my heart,” or how I believe God is “leading me to” this, that or another conclusion.
