Download or read book The Day of The Lord Commentary written by Greg Hinnant and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Old Testament is richly laden with prophecies and foreshadowings of the last days. Having never researched its treasures, however, many Christians possess a lopsided, exclusively New Testament understanding of End-Times prophecy. The Day of the Lord Commentary meticulously examines every Old Testament text foretelling or foreshadowing the dramatic people and events that consummate God’s prophetic plan, terminate this world order, and inaugurate Christ’s unprecedentedly righteous, peaceful, worldwide kingdom on earth. Only the Bible, accurately interpreted, establishes accurate End-Times views. This commentary’s abundant, biblical cross-references lay a deep, broad foundation for a clear, accurate eschatology. It will amaze you how often, and how specifically, Old and New Testament prophets agree. All see the same final events, and in the same order: Tribulation, Armageddon, Millennium! This in-depth study gives special attention to the Old Testament’s less-known “little apocalypses” in Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Zechariah, and identifies their many links to John’s well-known apocalypse, Revelation. Soundly refuting Supersessionism, it explains why God has regathered the Jews, reestablished the State of Israel, and preserved it against all odds: Israel’s Day of the Lord is coming! Book Review 1: "Greg Hinnant’s monumental work, The Day of the Lord Commentary, is a must-read for anyone interested in the final summation of End-Times events … Greg takes the reader on an extraordinary journey through the Old Testament with three-dimensional glasses that allows one to see direct references and indirect typology concerning the great drama of redemption as it moves to its conclusion. This may be the foremost study of its kind on this topic." -- Dr. Charles H. Gaulden, Old Testament Professor, Southeastern University Book Review 2: "It is exceptionally common in eschatological study to focus almost exclusively on the New Testament, yet such an approach ignores Paul’s admonition that all scripture is inspired (2 Timothy 3:16-17). The Day of the Lord Commentary provides a systematic overview of important references to the impending Day of the Lord found throughout the Old Testament, and weaves these prophetic expectations into one seamless tapestry throughout the whole Bible." -- Dr. Ran Whitley, DMin, PhD, Professor, Campbell University Book Review 3: "Though a Bible student all my life, certain passages remained obscure and confusing. The Day of the Lord Commentary has changed all of this, as these formerly confusing passages have now come alive. This book’s depth and insight into the Old Testament is astounding. How Greg was able to mine through all the rock and rubble of confusing Bible prophecy to access these precious stones of biblical revelation is truly a gift. This work is a must-read for all who desire a deeper understanding of God’s Word and a valuable resource for ministers, to shed light and understanding on the gospel message we proclaim." -- Sherri Leith, Senior Pastor, Family Worship Center, Port Orchard, Washington Book Review 4: "The Day of the Lord Commentary provides an in-depth study of biblical eschatology. Using a detailed comparative analysis of the eschatological oracles scattered throughout the Hebrew Bible, Greg lays out a theological roadmap for understanding God’s plan for Israel and the nations. This book, written from a Christian perspective, tackles some of the most intriguing End-Times prophecies recorded in Israel’s sacred scriptures. Pastors, preachers, and Bible teachers will greatly benefit from this thought-provoking volume." -- Dr. Igal German, Founding Director, Yesod Bible Center, and International Biblical Apologetics Association (bibleapologist.org)

Download or read book Walking on Water written by Greg Hinnant and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2024-05-19 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus wasn't the only one to walk on water: “Peter . . . [also] walked on the water” (Matthew 14:29)! Just as Peter walked securely, albeit briefly, on Galilee’s surging, dangerous waters, Christians, by simply trusting, obeying, and focusing on Christ, can expect His supernatural power to also help them through even the most trying, perilous circumstances. Walking on Water builds faith and prepares the faithful for whatever stormy seas life brings. Its challenging biblical perspectives on adversity help us see God in our hardships just as clearly as we see Him in our blessings. By maintaining this scriptural attitude—the spiritual mind—we meet every storm in the joy of faith, knowing more afflictions mean more spiritual growth, stronger God-confidence, longer-lasting endurance, sharper wisdom, deeper knowledge of God’s ways, closer intimacy with Him, and many other sweet blessings along the way.

Whatever your current experience, this book will speak to you, informing or reminding, encouraging or correcting, to inspire you to continue walking in his ways until you finish the course Jesus has set before you.

Download or read book Spiritual Truths for Overcoming Adversity written by Greg Hinnant and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2024-05-05 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus said, “Tribulation or persecution arises because of the word” (Matthew 13:21, NKJV). This implies, while everyone has troubles, committed Christians have them for different reasons. “Because of the word” means we are learning God’s Word, living it, and spreading its saving light. “Christian difficulties” are adversities Satan sends to destroy our faith and usefulness to God. Yet God permits them to build Christian character—if we respond properly. Spiritual Truths for Overcoming Adversity explores the deep ministry of adversity, revealing God’s loving guidance and wise purposes in all our difficulties. Its biblical insights illuminate God’s path through every shadowy valley and help us stop fighting and start cooperating with God, so He can mature our faith, draw us nearer, and use us more fruitfully. Search this Word-light, and let it search you. Obey it, and it will change you. Share it, so it can shine through you!

This book is full of Godly wisdom. I praise God for . . . using it to open my heart and mind to know how to overcome." -- E. Brennan

Download or read book ColossianNotes written by Greg Hinnant and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2024-05-18 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bible teacher and author Greg Hinnant is noted for his passionate and precise handling of the Scriptures. In ColossianNotes, as in his other Bible commentaries, he meticulously brings to light the layers of eternal truth found in Paul’s letter to the Christians at Colosse. Many of the apostle’s themes are of critical importance today.

He urged them to focus on the preeminence of Christ and, above all worldly issues, hold the hope of heaven in their hearts and minds. An excellent companion to the biblical text, this commentary will not only broaden your understanding of Paul’s epistle but also reveal its surprising relevance to Christians’ lives today. Pastors, teachers, and students will find this a very valuable and useful resource.

Download or read book The Second Coming of Christ written by Greg Hinnant and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2022-08-08 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second coming of Christ is the most anticipated, consequential, and controversial event since His Ascension. For 2,000 years, it has been loved, hated, dreaded, and ignored. Committed Christians have loved it, sinners have hated it, carnal Christians have dreaded it, and lukewarm Christians have ignored it. Thus, it has been yearned for, mocked, feared, and yawned at, and yet debated ad nauseam. But there it is, in Jesus’ own immortal words, “I will come again!” (John 14:3). Today a turbulent vortex of confusion and controversy swirls around just what Jesus meant and when He is coming. This powerful new book by Greg Hinnant seeks to quell the controversy and clarify the confusion by setting forth God's biblical prophetic plan for Christ's appearing - the rapture - and the amazing divinely scheduled events that follow on earth and in heaven. It also offers much detailed, practical, biblical teaching on how to be prepared for the rapture. Finally, it closes with a very thorough, informative, concisely written comparison of the major Christian End-Times views. Many books present biblical prophecies about Christ’s Second Coming, but offer little or no Christian living instructions. Others present excellent Christian living instructions, but do not interpret End-Times prophecy. Rich with abundant prophetic and Christian living instructions, this book is truly unique. You will not find another like it! Described as “a comprehensive handbook for the preparation of the bride of Christ,” it is a must-read for pastors, leaders, and anyone seriously desiring to be ready when Jesus suddenly appears to receive His church.

Download or read book The Tribulation Story written by Greg Hinnant and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: describes in clear, chronological order the unforgettable people and events of the Tribulation, seven years biblically prophesied to complete Israel’s and the world’s histories (Revelation 6-19). This unique, biblical epic offers striking contrasts: monstrous despots and heroic believers, fearful judgments and rapturous rescues, false prophets and true witnesses, filthy harlots and pure brides, hell’s worst and heaven’s best?a titanic, relentless struggle between God and Satan through human agents unresolved till the last hour of the last day.

On this earth! For a thousand years! But before that warm, brilliant Son-rise, cold, dark wonders are predetermined, so unprecedented, so shocking, so outsized, so fantastic they seem utterly incredible. Yet, oracles of God, they are utterly credible, certain, and near. With signs of the times everywhere, with its clear biblical instructions for spiritual readiness, is extraordinarily timely. And compelling! It will grip your attention and keep you reading until you fully understand the Tribulation and how to escape it. Book Review 1: “Without a doubt, people are sensing that our world is under the sway of biblical end time prophecies. Recent events have driven people to reconsider these 'signs of the times' and take a fresh look at what the Bible says regarding these events. In The Tribulation Story, Greg Hinnant’s passion and scholarship really shines. Many Christians today are woefully uneducated and ignorant of even basic eschatology and the relevance of its impact for our lives. I’m grateful Greg has produced a well-written and well-researched work for both those new to the faith and for veteran believers. I found it to be an excellent and accurate overview of the Book of Revelation. The Tribulation Story is inspiring, enlightening and most importantly, biblically sound. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in God’s plan for the ages!” —Dr. Randal S. Langley, President / CEO, Christian Life School of Theology Global Book Review 2: “The Tribulation Story is a unique chronology of the events prophesied in the Book of Revelation. Greg Hinnant has not only given us a book of in-depth information, he has given us a book of deep Holy Spirit revelation that carries life-changing impartation! It is impossible for anyone, Christian or non-Christian, to read this amazing work and not experience a deep emotional reaction and spiritual resonance in their heart. It will ‘connect the dots’ for many people who have never really understood the Book of Revelation before.” —Dr. John Shiver, John Shiver Ministries Book Review 3: “The Tribulation Story vividly details the horrors of the coming Tribulation period. It is not only based on the Book of Revelation, but also makes extensive use of Old and New Testament Scriptures, including those of many prophets who foresaw this coming time. Jesus challenged Christians to be wise, worthy, watching, faithful, and ready at all times for His return. This book encourages us to learn to more persistently overcome our smaller ‘tribulations’—with God’s grace—in order to be ready to be raptured away to heaven and thereby avoid the Tribulation.” —Dr. Ernst Lutz, Ph.D. Switzerland Book Review 4: "While The Tribulation Story does not purport to identify precisely the ‘when’ of Christ’s return, it does affirm that the events described in the Book of Revelation are an impending, awesome reality for our generation. Hence, The Tribulation Story is not written to explain prophecy for some distant future, but for our present time. The poignant description of coming events lends assurance to the faithful that God is both sovereign and merciful while beseeching the unfaithful to bow their knee only to the Lord Jesus as the ultimate Victor and King. This book is a call for preparation in the ‘here and now.’" —Dr. Ran Whitley, D.Min., Ph.D., Professor, Alma Dark Howard Chair of Church Music, Campbell University

Book excerpt: Do you struggle keeping your faith in a world that's losing its mind? These 31 short chapters take a deep dive into the book of Philippians, which Robert Morgan says is the Bible's handbook for tackling each day with an undaunted attitude. Life is unpredictable, and the world is unstable. People have never been so confounded, sensing our culture, economy, and geopolitical systems are spiraling downward. Even in our personal lives, none of us knows what will happen next—which is why God gave us the book of Philippians. This short letter—just over 100 verses—can help us learn to live overflowing lives in an overwhelming world. Philippians is one of the most practical books of the Bible, which Robert Morgan says is as fresh as ever. Its theme can be summed up in these verses: "Whatever happens, conduct yourself in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then . . . I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you" (1:27–28). Among the many lessons in Whatever Happens, readers will learn how to: Use prayer to energize their life Make today about others Stay as cheerful as possible in all circumstances Let others lean on their strength Start everything with praise and end everything with prayer As the apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Philippians from a prison cell, he was facing dire circumstances and an unsettled future. Would he be released or executed? But he knew one thing—that whatever happened, he was going to stand firm in his faith and live a life worthy of the gospel. And no matter what we are going through today, we can do the same.
