Hermeneutics is concerned with establishing the meaning of what we read in a text.

While on earth, Christ declared that he was the light of the world (John 8:12). Now that he lives in his church, it is we who are called the light of the world (Matthew 5:14).

The great ideologies and religions that presently blind nations to the light of the gospel must crumble and fall before the return of Christ. But this will not happen overnight. It may be a multi-generational work.

The notion that our loving heavenly Father could direct his wrath at rebellious man knowing that some of his children will also suffer is in itself a perverse idea.

what we believe becomes our hope and our hope governs our manner of life here and now.

The ‘hand’ represents our actions and the ‘forehead’ our thoughts and attitudes.

The Abrahamic covenant was a grant covenant, where God’s promises are unconditional. The covenant blessings were instead entered into by faith. This is significant because Abraham becomes the father of all who relate to God by faith.

The fact that Christ is returning to the earth should be a provocation to holy living and passionate commitment to his purposes.

all the Old Testament covenants find their fulfilment in Christ. They then emerge reinterpreted by the New Covenant he inaugurated. Nothing remains untouched by Christ.
