Eschatology is only a part of the total program of God. We need to gain the perspective of God's plan from everlasting to everlasting. Jesus Christ is the Alpha and Omega-the Beginning and the End.The study of the Second Coming forces the enquirer to reflect on the whole picture of the comprehensive plan of God for the redemption of the world, with a very clear sense of direction from the Creation of the world, through the events of the Cross, through to the Coming of Christ to reign on the earth. To trivialise the Second Coming, is to demean the whole program of God, and to thereby debase my existence and purpose as a Christian. Further, it demeans the whole of God's revelation through His word the Bible. Unashamedly the Word of God is quoted extensively throughout this book. It is the only authority for the whole scenario of God's plan.This book is comprehensive in its coverage of the whole spectrum of the Kingdom of God, from the creation to the consummation of the kingdom into the Eternal State. A failure to appreciate God's original purpose for the creation, emasculates any understanding of the direction and purpose of God's program.God's Kingdom is expressed in the Old Testament through His chosen people Israel, and they figure significantly in the whole eschatological program.Jesus' first Coming to inaugurate His Kingdom gives important perspective to His Second Coming to consummate His Kingdom.The creation of the church as a manifestation of His body, is essential to the understanding of the events of the Rapture and the Bema Judgment in particular.

"It's all Adam's fault!"OK. Then you have just condemned yourself to a Christless eternity!Reflect carefully on the statement just made.In an earlier volume on the doctrine of original sin: Condemned Already, we noted, that if Adam is to be blamed for our condemnation, then we have to address the reason for his condemnation. Adam was innocent until he sinned in regard to the prohibition of the Tree of Life. At that point he "died". Spiritually he was cut-off and alienated from God and out of fellowship, and God immediately announced His already-prepared plan of rescue. The Son of the descendant of the woman (Eve)-the Lord Jesus Christ-would bruise the serpent's head (the serpent who was the vehicle for Adam's sin and fall through the temptation orchestrated by Satan):15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."Genesis 3:15. The situation for Adam is clear enough. He was innocent, and then became a sinner, by sinning. We can easily identify the CAUSATIVE sin that was responsible for his demise-his default in regard to the Tree of Life. But if Adam's sin is the CAUSATIVE sin that constitutes me a sinner-and that is the majority view-then I am condemned to a Christless eternity, all because of Adam's sin.Supposedly in solidarity with the human race, every man woman and child of all time is condemned-not on his own account-but because of Alien Guilt inherited from Adam.Adam's sin is thus my sin. The tragedy is, if Adam's sin IS CAUSATIVE for me (but I don't believe that it is) and for my condemnation (Condemned Already), then the only way that I can reverse that situation is to address the CAUSATIVE sin. But it is not my sin! And I can't repent of another person's sin. I can't repent of Adam's sin. I can't address the foundational issue. So I can't address the cause of my condemnation, and therefore I can't be saved!The seriousness of this situation seems to escape most theologians. Why? This is serious.This critical issue was the basis of that first volume, and was the central issue that was addressed, demonstrating that we are each personally CULPABLE and responsible to God for our sin-the CAUSATIVE sin that constituted EACH of us as a sinner. And hence we are condemned JUSTLY and PERSONALLY.All people of all time are individually responsible for their own sin and hence of their condemnation. That being the case, they can-indeed MUST-repent of their own sin in order to be saved.Thus God is just in His demands and fair in his expectations based upon the finished work of Christ.As far as the Christian is concerned, "The Old Man died, never to rise again". The Old Man is dead!And yet I repeatedly hear people excusing themselves for their sin, because, "The Old Man affected me and compelled me". Or more commonly, they use the term "the sin nature". "I was influenced by my sin nature/old nature". See extra discussion on the Natures in Chapter 2.It's not my fault!! -As a non-Christian, we could blame Adam for making me a sinner. -Now as a Christian, who do I blame for my daily sins? We just don't want to accept responsibility for our actions.The first volume addressed our culpability for our CAUSATIVE sin. The sin that constituted me a sinner in the first place.This volume addresses our culpability for our sin as a Christian. We need to start our search here at precisely this point, a careful exegesis of the biblical teaching concerning the Old Man.

UNIQUE. This is the only known construct to demonstrate the true gift of languages (together with interpretation as a composite gift), showing its source, purpose and operation.This unique construct demonstrates all the biblical criteria, in particular: -the source in God (Trinitarian) as for ALL gifts, -the ministry to the church (as for ALL the gifts), -its relevance today in spite of arguments to the contrary, -the fact that it has never been abrogated at any time, -its method of operation that can be independently validated and thereby protect its operation from abuse, -its purpose as an unambiguous sign of God's judgement and displeasure with unpersuaded believers in the church-hence a gift for the church.

The chief concern in this study is the understanding of the true glossolalic phenomenon, in distinction from the confusing element of ecstasy.The starting point is the assumption that there is an authentic gift of glossolalia that presumably is potentially valid today, although under what conditions and why is a different question. Gifts of teaching, preaching, and pastoring are self-evidently valid or able to be independently validated, but what is the validation of speaking in "tongues"? Indeed, what is "speaking in tongues"? Considering the difficulties of defining the term, and the apparent difficulties in ascertaining and authenticating the gift, one feels compelled to agree with Robinson (Meyer 1975, 142) that the phenomenon has stolen a position out of all proportion to its biblical importance and ecclesiastical value. Robinson, a glossolalist and former Pentecostal preacher states: There are sixty-six books in the Bible, and only three of them mention tongues. There are 1,189 chapters in the Bible, and only seven refer to tongues. There are 31,162 verses, and only twenty-two mention tongues. Sheer quantity is not, of course, a proper criterion for evaluating scriptural teachings. By the same token, however, a practice which is mentioned so seldom, hardly deserves the attention that some give tongues, and the benefits do not seem to be commensurate with the cleavages that are created.
