Gospel According to Apostles

The Gospel of the Kingdom | Impact Ministries
The best way to know what the Gospel is, is to see what the Bible has to say about the Gospel. The Gospel the Lord gave to the 12 apostles:

Matthew 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Peter (and the apostles) preached same gospel as the Lord Jesus.

  • Acts 8:25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
  • 1 Peter 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
  • 1 Peter 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
  • 1 Peter 4:6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
  • 1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
  • And during the Tribulation, the same gospel will be preached: 
    Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

Gospel According to Paul

Grace Church: Roanoke, VA > Sermons
The best way to know what the Gospel is, is to see what the Bible has to say about the Gospel. Paul preached the Gospel of Grace and the others preached the Gospel of the Kingdom.

This caused a problem: Acts 15 and Galatians 2. The solution was 2:9 … that we (Paul, Barnabas) should go unto the heathen (Gentiles), and they (apostles) unto the circumcision (Jews). see Acts 13:46

Some verses in Acts 14:7,21, 15:7, 16:10, 20:24 about the Gospel preached:
Paul reminds the believers in Rome about the Gospel he brought to them:
Romans 1:1,9,15-16, 2:16, 10:15-16, 11:28, 15:16,19-20,29, 16:25
And to the Corinthian believers:
1 Corinthians 1:17, 4:15, 9:12,14,16-18,23, 15:1
2 Corinthians 2:12, 4:3-4, 8:13, 9:13, 10:14,16, 11:4,7
To the Galatians, who were being led back under the Law, he tells them only one Gospel:
Galatians 1:6-9,11, 2:2,5,7,14, 3:8, 4:13
To the faithful Ephesians he wrote:
Ephesians 1:13, 3:6, 6:15,19
To the saints in Philippi:
Philippians 1:5,7,12,17,22, 2:22, 4:3,15
To the faithful brethren in Colossi:
Colossians 1:5,23
To the Thessalonians, who thought they had missed the rapture:
1 Thessalonians 1:5, 2:2,4,8-9, 3:2, 2 Thessalonians 1:8, 2:14
And to his son, in the Lord:
1 Timothy 1:11, 2 Timothy 1:8,10, 2:8
To his friend:
Philemon 1:13
To Jewish believers:
Hebrews 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: …
The Gospel of GRACE, is the Death, Burial, and Resurrection according to the Scripture of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Come into the Ark

What Does Genesis 7:1 Mean?

Noah was invited into the ark.

Genesis 6-9 God was inside the Ark when He invited Noah to come into the Ark. God is with every believer. God still invites us today. Not into the Ark, but into his family and then into Heaven when we die. And it’s thru His Son, the Lord Jesus. By believing the Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and confessing that He is God (Romans 10:9).

In Noah’s time, anyone could have gotten into the Ark, and been saved from the flood. Just as in Noah’s time, God, the Lord Jesus Christ, is in Heaven, inviting all who will come. Today there is room at the Cross (salvation) for all who will come. AS the song says:

Psalm 149

Final Judgement - Home | Facebook

The wrath of God. The Great White Throne. The final Judgement.

Psalm 149 Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.
Now compare this text:
Revelation 20:11-15 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
I believe the New Testament Saints will be at the Great White Throne (as a Jury).

Psalm 149 Speaks of the Final Judgement (Great White Throne) Revelation 20:11
Psalm 149:7-9 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
2 Thessalonians 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Peter 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
Jude 1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

Psalm 149 – ROMANS 15:10-11 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.

Psalm 2

This Psalm fore tells of the Tribulation, when mankind is in complete rebellion of God
(while being religious).

Psalm 2 - John 14:6


Psalm 2:1-3 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

This was fulfilled during the earthly ministry of Jesus.

Psalm 2:4-5 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. The 7 year Tribulation. Isaiah 24:5-6 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. Joel 2:29-31 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.
Psalm 2:6-7 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Psalm 110:1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The 1000 Kingdom is established. LUKE 1:32-33 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Psalm 2:8-11 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
Psalm 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Remember, there are many, many verses to reference. Too many to list here.

Prophecy in the PSALM

Prophecy in the Psalms | First Coming | Lamb and Lion Ministries

(click here to jump to the Chapter Table)

A Psalm is considered prophetic when it contains text that is found in the New or Old Testament books written long after the Psalm.

Prophecy, the for telling of the future is throughout the Old Testament. A quick scan of the book of Psalm is a prime example. The following is by no means complete, just a sampling:
Psalm 2 foretells of God’s dealing with sinful man during the Tribulation and the Kingdom He will set up on earth during the millieum. A key verse of when Christ became the BEGOTTEN SON is: Psalm 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Which was fulfilled when Christ was raised from the dead. The rest of the Psalm will be fulfilled after Christ returns for the Church in the Rapture.
Psalm 8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
This was quoted by Christ in Matthew 21:16
Psalm 16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
This verse speaks of Christ’s three days in the tomb, where he descended into hades and then rise gain three days later, and His body did not see corruption but was changed to a gloriest one. Ephesians 4:9
Psalm 22 A very graphic description of the Crucifixion (which did not come into being until the Romans ruled). (read about the crucifixion as recorded in the Gospels). Psalm 22:1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
Words spoken by Christ as He hung on the cross. Mark 15:34
Psalm 22:7-8 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. Actions and works spoken by those around the cross as Christ was being crucified. Matthew 27:43
Psalm 23 This passage has been a comfort to many believers over the years, but will be fulfilled for the Jew during the 7 years of tribulation (yet to come).
Psalm 24 Speaks of the King of Glory. Psalm 24:8 Who is this King of glory? Psalm 24:10 Who is this King of glory? Of course, this speaks of the Christ (Jesus) who will rule over Israel (and the world) for 1000 years. (Revelation 19,20)
Psalm 40 The whole passage speaks of Christ (Jesus) and his earthly ministry. Psalm 40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, Who, but Christ (Jesus) could have said this?
Psalm 41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. The whole passage speaks of Christ (Jesus) and his earthly ministry. And this verse was fulfilled through Judas (John 13:18,17:12).
Psalm 45 Speaks of the coming Kingdom when Christ (Jesus) will reign as king forever and ever. Psalm 45:6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. Hebrews 1:8
Psalm 46 The whole passage speaks of Christ (Jesus) and his coming earthly ministry during Jacob’s troubles (the Tribulation) and the 1000 years.
Psalm 47 Speaks of the coming Kingdom. Psalm 47:2 … he is a great King over all the earth. The 1000-year reign of Christ (Jesus) on earth. The Apostle Paul refers to this 1 Timothy 1:17.
Psalm 68 Speaks of Christ (Jesus) and his return. Psalm 68:1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. Acts 7:56 and the rest of passage speaks if His Kingly reign (during 1000 years).
Psalm 69 Speaks of Christ’s (Jesus) earthly ministry and his suffering and death. Psalm 69:21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. Matthew 27:34,43.
Psalm 72 Speaks of Christ’s (Jesus) earthly kingdom (during the 1000-year reign).
Psalm 110:1 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Hebrews 10:12
Psalm 149 Speaks of the Final Judgement (Great White Throne) Psalm 149:7-9 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord. Revelation 20:11

The above is by no means complete, just a sampling.

The Gainsaying of Core (Korah)

Jude 1:1 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

GAINSAY – to deny, dispute or contradict

The story of Korah (Core) is found in Numbers 16:1-33 … And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown: And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD? …

⇒ He led a rebellion against Moses
⇒ He didn’t believe God
⇒ He rebelled against God
⇒ He provoked the Lord

Korah desired leadership. He wanted to be in charge, despite what God had said. He and his followers perished at the hand of the Lord. Numbers 16:32-33 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.

Their punishment is repeated in Numbers 26:9-10 And the sons of Eliab; Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. This is that Dathan and Abiram, which were famous in the congregation, who strove against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they strove against the LORD: And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died, what time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men: and they became a sign.

Thus ended the gainsayings of Core (Korah).

The Way of Cain

PPT - Mistakes Of Cain PowerPoint Presentation, free download - ID ...

Jude 1:1 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

Read Genesis 4 for the story of Cain.

And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD…

⇒ First human born (his parents were created).
⇒ A tiller of the ground (farmer).
⇒ Did things HIS way (disobedient).
⇒ Was Jealous of his brother, and angry.
⇒ A murderer (killed his younger brother).
⇒ Lied to God.

That sums up the way of Cain. He knew God. He talked with God. And he still disobeyed God.

Cain is spoken of 3 times in the New Testament.

Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
1 John 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
Jude 1:11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

Trumpets

Prepare the Way – Forty Days of Seeking God for the Feast of ...

A study of TRUMPET in scripture reveals a lot of truth.

In the Old Testament after the Israelites left Egypt, the trumpet was used to communicate to them, to call them to Order, to Battle, for the Feasts. NUMBERS 10:4 And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, …, shall gather themselves unto thee.
See EXODUS 19:13, 16, 19; 20:18, LEVITICUS 25:9, JOSHUA 6:5, 20;
JUDGES 3:27, 6:34, 7:16, 18

As seen in the verses above, the TRUMPET continued to lead them as the took over and lived in the promise land. All through Israel’s history 1 SAMUEL 13:3 …And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear. See 2 Samuel 2:28; 6:15; 15:10; 18:16; 20:1, 22; 1 Kings 1:34, 39, 41;
Nehemiah 4:20; Job 39:24-25; Psalm 47:5; 84:3; 98:6; 150:3; Isaiah 18:3; 27:13; 58:1; Jeremiah 4:5, 19, 21; 6:1, 17; 42:14; 51:27; Ezekiel 7:14; 33:3-6; Hosea 5:8; 8:1; Joel 2:1, 15; Amos 2:2; 3:6; Zephaniah 1:16; 9:14.

And as we study history even down to the present day military, the Trumpet is used to communicate.

Paul warns of the miss use of the trumpet 1 Corinthians 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
The Trumpet plays a great roll during the Tribulation, especially during the last 3 ½ years. Revelation 1:10, 4:1 8:2,6,3, 9:14, 18:2.

The Lord Jesus forewarned Israel about His coming, at the end of the great Tribulation.

Matthew 24:30-31 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

But there is a Trumpet all believers are listening to hear. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. So, as believers, the next TRUMPET we are waiting for is:

When He Comes | Jesus is coming, Trumpet, Dreams, visions

Temple

The Tabernacle in Its Ancient Near Eastern Context - TheTorah.com

From the time of Moses until 70 AD, except for about 70 years during Daniel’s time, Israel, the Jews, have had a Tabernacle, replaced by a Temple during Solomon’s time, where they could worship God and offer animal sacrifices according to the Law. In 70 AD, due to Israel’s rejection of Christ, God allowed the Romans to destroy the Temple and begin the disbursement of the Jews throughout the world as He said He would. The Jews have been without the ability to offer animal sacrifice, required by the Law, ever since. But God has promised He will gather all Israel back to the land He gave them and set up a Kingdom for them to rule the earth with their Messiah.

Herod's Temple, Jerusalem ARTchive @ PreteristArchive.com, The ...

In the Gospels and the book of Acts, the TEMPLE is mentioned 85 times.

As magnificent as the Temple was, The Lord Jesus told of it’s destruction.
Matthew 24:1-2, Mark 13:1-2, Luke 19:41-44, 21:6 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

The Lord Jesus told the Samarian woman, at the well, when the Temple would not be needed to worship God. John 4:1-24. vs 23-24 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

The Temple existed during Paul’s life, but he wanted believers to know they were the spiritual Temple. Paul writing to the Corinthian believers about the Temple but usually in reference to their bodies.
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
(also see 6:19, 8:10, 9:13, 2 Corinthians 6:16)

Paul writes about the spiritual Temple in Ephesians 2:21-22 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
And the Temple he speaks about in 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Is the rebuilt Temple during the Tribulation.
Yes, the Temple will be rebuilt, either just before or right after the Rapture
(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18), and the Jews will go back to Temple worship as it was during the Time of Paul.

The Temple is mentioned 13 times in Revelation.

It appears to be the TEMPLE that is in Heaven. Revelation 7:15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. (also see 3:12; 11:1-2, 19; 14:15; 15:5-6, 8; 16:1,17).
But look at the last reference. Revelation 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
In the great city, the holy Jerusalem (read Revelation 21:10-27) there will be no need for a Temple.
