Where Are Jesus’ Disciples?

Jesus told His disciples to “make disciples of all nations” by teaching them what He had taught them (Matt. 28:19–20). He also told them “to preach the gospel to all creation” (Mark 16:15). While the Church has managed to “preach the gospel” in most of the nations of the world, it has failed miserably to “make disciples” for Christ. This article explains the distinction between preaching and teaching, and why the Church has not made true disciples for Jesus Christ.

Apocalyptic Beliefs and the End of This Age

This is the second in a series of articles on the Mystery of Scripture. The Early Church understood that the Prophets had deliberately hidden the Truth concerning the birth, life, death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ—the Mystery of the Word of God—behind the parabolic imagery and Hebrew idioms they used. This article examines the fact that the writers of apocalyptic literature during the Intertestamental Period (ca. 400 B.C.–A.D. 70) sought to imitate the Prophets by concealing things in their writings.

The Image of the King as a Tree

This article examines the ancient Near Eastern origin of the parabolic image of the “tree of life” and how that parabolic imagery relates to Jesus Christ, the King of Israel who died hanging on a “tree” in a parabolic pantomime that depicted some far greater reality.

The Forecast

This column examines some of the weather-related parabolic images the Prophets used to describe the End Times, the appearance of the Antichrist in the Last Days, and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Questions & Answers

This “Questions & Answers” column discusses how Desert Storm was a detailed parabolic fulfillment of prophecy concerning the Antichrist and why The Elijah Project uses the writings of the Prophets to “forecast” future events rather than psychically “predicting” them as some do.
