About

Me at Hastie Lake Rd Beach
This Blog Site is a teaching ministry of the Disciples Global Network and a resource center to facilitate Christian education and connections worldwide. The focus is on Jesus Christ and his "Good News" about the Kingdom of God, a message vital to all nations, peoples, and individuals.

The Apostle Paul declared that the forms of this age are already in the process of passing away because of the Death of Jesus and his Resurrection. All things have become new and nothing can ever be the same again, including the identity of the people of God. Even now, the “age to come” and the “new creation” have dawned in the Resurrection and the present Reign of Jesus.

I have expertise in textual criticism: the reconstruction, the transmission and the translation of ancient manuscripts. I am a graduate of the Pacific School of Theology of Seattle, Washington, USA. All posts on this site are free and may be copied and distributed at will.

Blessing to the Nations

SYNOPSIS:  The promised “blessing” to the “nations” given to Abraham is fulfilled in Jesus and, ultimately, in the New Creation. A cornerstone of the promised redemption of humanity and the creation is the covenant with Abraham. It included promises of innumerable descendants, possession of the “land,” and “blessing to the nations.” According to the Apostle Paul, Jesus is the promised “seed of Abraham” who inherited ALL the promises and fulfills them in his Death and Resurrection. And the promises find ultimate fulfillment in the New Creation.

Ruler of the Kings of the Earth

SYNOPSIS:  The book of Revelation declares Jesus the present “ruler of the kings of the earth,” a fulfillment of the promise of a Davidic king. 
Despite appearances, from the beginning of the book of Revelation, Jesus is declared the ruler over the “kings of the earth.” His exaltation to reign over the earth is based on his past sacrificial death and resurrection.
The “kings of the earth” may be allied with the Beast, yet the Lamb uses them to achieve his purposes. The same group is found later in the New Creation giving honor to him. The suffering church participates in this same reign even now (Revelation 21:22-24).
