Bible Q & A
Age of the Gentiles-Gap Theory
This article explores the prophetic “gap” between Daniel’s 69th and 70th weeks, identifying it as the present Church Age or “Age of the Gentiles.” It explains how this intervening period reflects God’s redemptive plan to extend salvation beyond Israel to the nations, while still preserving His future promises to Israel. By examining Daniel’s prophecy in light of the broader biblical narrative, the article offers a clear and compelling framework for understanding the timing, purpose, and theological significance of this present age in God’s unfolding plan.
Does the Bible Support Abortion? A Response to Misinterpreted Passages.
This article addresses common claims that the Bible supports abortion or infanticide by examining frequently cited passages in their proper historical and literary context. It demonstrates that texts such as Numbers 5, Hosea 9, Psalm 137, and others do not endorse the taking of unborn or infant life but instead reflect divine judgment, poetic expression, or covenant consequences. The broader witness of Scripture consistently affirms the sanctity of human life from conception, presenting life as a gift from God. Ultimately, the article argues that misusing isolated verses to justify abortion ignores the unified biblical message that upholds the value and dignity of every human life.
What Is the Priest–King Motif from Zechariah to Revelation?
The Bible tells a unified story in which what was once divided is ultimately brought together in Christ. Under the Old Testament, the roles of priest and king were kept separate—one offered sacrifice, the other ruled. Yet the prophets began to point forward to something greater. In Zechariah, a coming figure called “the Branch” is revealed as both priest and king, seated on one throne. This tension finds its resolution in Jesus Christ, who not only atones for sin but reigns as sovereign Lord. The Priest–King motif shows that true redemption requires both mediation and authority—both of which are perfectly fulfilled in Him.
