It has often been said that the concept of the Trinity is not found in the Old Testament. And also it is argued that the fathers had no idea of such an understanding of God’s person. But is this true? Join me in this study today as we examine the Hebrew text of Genesis 20:13 for an insight into this issue.
In His final letter to the last church, Jesus indicates that this is a totally unsaved church. Although they are rich in material prosperity, they are spiritually impoverished and bankrupt. This is the picture of today’s church – the church of the last days.
After the Reformation period was the period of evangelism – Philadelphia (1700-1900). Like Smyrna, Jesus had nothing bad to say about this church. He graciously opened the door for evangelism and Christian missionary work all over the world.
After Abraham’s momentary lapse of faith (and the rescue of Sarah – again [Genesis chapter 20]), God fulfills his promise to Abraham, and Isaac is born. There is much celebrating until Ishmael is seen taunting Isaac and Sarah demands that he and his mother Hagar be sent away.
After the Dark Ages (Church of Thyatira – 600-1500AD) was the Protestant Reformation period from 1500-1700AD. From this time period the church benefitted from a number of concrete doctrinal and foundational truths that were re-established for Christendom.
