The Sign of Jonah: A Precise Fulfillment of Christ’s Triumph

The true chronology of Christ’s death and resurrection reveals more than a timeline; it unveils a deliberate and perfect fulfillment of prophecy that centers the victory of redemption on the biblical Sabbath. This is the Sign of Jonah, the only sign Jesus promised to validate His Messiahship, and its precise fulfillment reinforces the reliability of all Scripture.

The Problem with Tradition

The popular timeline—Friday Crucifixion to Sunday Resurrection—creates a mathematical problem. Jesus explicitly stated, according to the King James Version (KJV): “For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” (Matthew 12:40). From a Friday burial before sunset to a Sunday morning resurrection is only one full day and two nights, falling significantly short of the promised duration.

The Most Violated Biblical Law: The First Commandment

The law that establishes the entire covenant relationship and the nature of reality is the First Commandment, which is violated hourly, globally, and across all major cultural divides:

“You shall have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:3)

I. Foundational Status and Scope

This law is foundational because it defines identity and allegiance. It is not merely about worship; it is about the source and ultimate authority for one’s life.

1. Introduction: Confusing Fulfillment with Abolition

The belief that Jesus Christ “canceled” or “abolished” God’s eternal moral law (often referring specifically to the Ten Commandments) is one of the greatest spiritual errors of the modern era. This s…

Will the real Enoch please stand up?

Before we can begin to understand the real Enoch, we must first address the non-canonical fiction book of Enoch. This book, written centuries after the biblical Enoch, is a fantastic collection of myths and legends that has long clouded the truth. While it is historically interesting, its wild tales of fallen angels, giants, and celestial journeys are not divinely inspired. Our focus is on the biblical Enoch, a man of profound faith whose story, though brief, is a foundational part of God’s Word.

The core difference is a matter of authority. The biblical account of Enoch in Genesis is concise and intentional. It gives us everything we need to know for our faith: Enoch “walked with God” and as a result, “was not, for God took him.” This simple narrative reveals God’s character and His reward for faithfulness. The non-canonical fiction book of Enoch, on the other hand, is a pseudepigraphon, a work falsely attributed to a historical figure. 

The Law before the Laws: How God’s Moral Code Predates the Stone Tablets

For many, the giving of the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai marks the beginning of divine law. Thunder, lightning, and a booming voice delivering explicit instructions etched in stone seem to present a brand-new ethical framework for the fledgling nation of Israel. However, a closer look at the earliest narratives of the Bible reveals a profound truth: the foundational principles of God’s law were not new at Sinai, but were already echoing through creation and human conscience.

This article explores the compelling evidence from the book of Genesis, demonstrating that God’s moral and even some ceremonial laws were known, understood, and often tragically violated, centuries before they were formally codified in the Mosaic Law. Indeed, the famous command to “remember the Sabbath” serves as a powerful key to unlocking this ancient truth….

A Martyr for Truth: Charlie Kirk’s Ultimate Stand Against a Fallen world

The news of Charlie Kirk’s assassination sent a tremor through the hearts of patriots and believers alike. Yet, as the world mourns a voice silenced too soon, the discerning spirit recognizes not merely a death, but a declaration. Charlie Kirk, in his unwavering stand for Christ and Truth, has joined the blessed company of martyrs, his blood crying out from the very ground he sought to reclaim for God.

For years, Charlie Kirk was a beacon of truth in a generation crooked and perverse. He built a movement not on flimsy politics, but on the unshakeable foundation of biblical principles. He spoke with a clarity that cut through the noise, empowering young people to articulate and defend the values of faith, family, and freedom. His message was consistent because it was not his own; it was a reflection of divine order. He understood that to stand for truth is to stand for Christ, and he did so boldly, without compromise.

Divorce

The Bible permits divorce, but it is not God’s ideal. Jesus and the Apostle Paul provide specific reasons for divorce and remarriage, which are different from modern societal views.

Divorce in the Old Testament 

In the Old Testament, the primary text on divorce is Deuteronomy 24:1-4. This passage describes a man giving his wife a certificate of divorce if he “finds some indecency” in her. This was a legal provision that protected the woman from being unjustly cast out without a document, which would allow her to remarry. However, the exact meaning of “some indecency” (ervat davar in Hebrew) has been a long-standing debate among Jewish scholars. Some interpreted it broadly to mean any fault, while others interpreted it narrowly to mean sexual immorality. This disagreement sets the stage for the New Testament’s clarification.

What is Sin?

From a complete biblical perspective, sin is a multifaceted concept that goes beyond simply “doing something bad.” It can be understood in three main ways:

1. Missing the Mark 

The most common Hebrew and Greek words for sin, “chata” and “hamartia,” literally mean “to miss the mark.” This powerful metaphor illustrates that sin is a failure to live up to God’s perfect standard of righteousness. This applies to all of humanity, as Romans 3:23 states, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” It’s not just about active disobedience but also about falling short of what God intends for humanity.

New Covenant

The Greek word often translated as “new” in the New Testament is kainos (καινος). This word doesn’t just mean “new” in the sense of something brand new, but can also mean “new in quality” or “unprecedented”. This contrasts with another Greek word, neos (νεος), which means “new in time” or “recently made.”

In this context, the idea of a renewed covenant makes a lot of sense. The new covenant in Christ isn’t a complete break from the past, but rather a fulfillment and renewal of God’s original promises to Israel. Jesus himself said in Matthew 5:17, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” This suggests that the new covenant doesn’t replace the old but brings it to its intended purpose.
