Modern Berean

For the final part of this series I will be addressing the Kingdom of God and Jesus ruling from David’s throne. I will cover some misconceptions in the church today as well as what scripture has to say on these topics. As always this is not meant to be an exhaustive study but meant to give you a high level view of what scripture says on these topics. We will open with a scripture from Amos 9. “11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up

In part 3 of the study we discovered that Jesus Christ is the Seed promised to Eve and Abraham (Gal 3:16).

We will be trying to use scripture to determine what the promises were that God made to Abraham and the fathers (Luke 1:72-73) and whether these promises were of a purely physical nature or of a spiritual na

Luke 1:68-73- “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; For he hath visited and redeemed his people, And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us In the house of his servant David; As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, Which have been since the world began: That we should be saved from our enemies, And from the hand of all that hate us; To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, And to remember his holy covenant; The oath which he sware to our father Abraham” For the
