Lake of Fire for Devil his angels and his seed; God’s offspring don’t go there

Don Koenig — Fri, 12 Feb 2021 17:06:04 +0000

The pastor at a baptist church where I attend said that with the tribulation drawing closer we had to increase our effort to get people saved, because those not believing will end up in Hell. By Hell, he actually meant the Lake of Fire. They are not the same place, but they often are used synonymously as if they were. By saved, he meant saved into the Church. Time is indeed growing short to get out gospel message before the tribulation, but many people will still be saved afterward.

I am quite aware that many Christians hold the position that all not getting saved into the Church will go to Hell (Hades).… continue reading

Exact sequence of events remains veiled as Rapture draws ever closer.

Don Koenig — Fri, 31 Jul 2020 17:18:35 +0000

We don’t know what God plans for His Church on earth in these last days, but we do know that Jesus promised to come back to take His Church off the earth before the wrath of God falls on this satanic world system. With mobs and Sodom and Gomorrah playing out in the streets, the Church should be aware that the Rapture grows ever closer.

Because Israel rejected her Messiah everything has been on hold until God takes out a risen bride for His Son to rule and reign with Him. After this fullness of the Gentiles comes in, God will again deal with Israel to fulfill the remaining week of years foretold in Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy (Dan 9:24-27).… continue reading

Trump peace plan is not dividing Israel and won’t happen anyway

Don Koenig — Fri, 14 Feb 2020 17:34:44 +0000

Everyone in Bible prophecy is talking about President’s Trump’s two state solution in the Middle East. I do not believe this peace proposal is dividing Israel as some are saying; nor is it the covenant that will be confirmed by the Antichrist. This proposal just goes to show you that the most pragmatic thinking still falls far short of any real peace solution for the Middle East.

The map below is the geographical proposal for a Palestinian State. All areas in green would become the future state of Palestine. There are many Jewish settlements within those green areas that would become part of the state of Israel.… continue reading

Spiritual gifts from God keep on giving in the new year and beyond

Don Koenig — Fri, 20 Dec 2019 14:53:41 +0000

Those who believe and receive God’s Son by grace are given the gift of His Holy Spirit along with one or more spiritual gifts for service to others in the Body of Christ. The main spiritual gifts God wants believers to know about are listed in the New Testament (i.e. apostles, prophets, teachers, helps, administrations, etc), but I would not limit the spiritual gifts to just those listed any more than I would limit the Holy Spirit.

Paul tells us that seeking spiritual gifts for the building up of the Church was a common practice among early believers (1Co 14:12). Therefore, these spiritual gifts are not as fixed after conversion as some seem to think.… continue reading

The mystery of Babylon the kingdom counterfeit of Satan

Don Koenig — Fri, 06 Dec 2019 20:10:59 +0000

One of the great mysteries of the Bible is how the prophecies about Babylon are to be fulfilled. The major prophecies about Babylon are found in Isaiah 13-14 & 47, Jeremiah 50-51 and Revelation 17-18. Most just focus on the Revelation prophecies and ignore the Old Testament prophecies about Babylon. Even so, any prophecies that have not already been fulfilled about Babylon in the OT still must be literally fulfilled.

If you study all the prophecies about Babylon, you should see the parallel in Revelation to what is said in the OT. The OT prophets make it abundantly clear that Babylon is a literal city located on the plains of Shinar.… continue reading

Trusting Jesus gets us eternal life but faithfulness determines eternal rewards

Don Koenig — Fri, 22 Nov 2019 19:05:08 +0000

In my last post I made it clear that the gospel of John indicates that salvation comes to those that believe (trust) in Jesus. The reason some Christians add things to salvation is not because they themselves are lost. Saved people often add requirements to salvation because they never learned understanding. They do not know the scriptures or they mishandle the scriptures, and then want everyone else to comply with their own misunderstanding.

Fallen descendants of Adam played no role in Adam’s sin resulting in the fall. They also have zero ability to become anything more than the sinful mortal creatures that they are.… continue reading

Gospel of John refutes salvation through perseverance theology

Don Koenig — Fri, 08 Nov 2019 18:31:37 +0000

The reason I fell away from the Roman Catholic Church when I was in my teens was not because I did not believe in Jesus. Believing the story about Jesus being the Savior of mankind seemed like the only possibility to me for as long as I can remember. I fell away from the Roman Catholic Church because I did not believe in their requirements for salvation.

In any honest analysis, the Catholics teach salvation through your own efforts and obedience to their church along with your own perseverance in their teachings until the end. How Catholics are to do that is fully laid out in their church catechism.… continue reading

Misapplications of scriptures commonplace when ripped out of context

Don Koenig — Fri, 02 Aug 2019 15:55:34 +0000

Misapplications of scriptures are common today because well-meaning and also some not so well-meaning people ignore the context. I will point out six common misapplications of scriptures here. I am sure readers can come up with others.

1. Who has not heard this misapplication of scripture claiming that God will heal America if Christians in America would repent for the nation.

2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Western, Islamic or Alien Antichrist? The big prophetic picture provides insights

Don Koenig — Fri, 05 Jul 2019 17:15:15 +0000

There are many different theories in the Church on how the end times events will play out. Some think the end time prophecies in the Bible will be fulfilled when an Islamic Antichrist comes against Israel. Others think that the Antichrist will be a false Christian or Jew that comes out of Europe. Historically many Protestants taught that the Roman Catholic Church is the Antichrist system. More recently others have come to believe that fallen angels and their Nephilim offspring will be involved. All views have some merits so we need to look at everything and see where each fits within the big prophetic picture.… continue reading

Daniel 2 & 7 prophesies that fourth empire tramples earth until end of age

Don Koenig — Fri, 07 Jun 2019 16:27:03 +0000

The visions given to Daniel document that there will only be four Gentile world empires ruling over Israel from Daniel’s time until the kingdom of the Messiah. The four kingdoms in Daniel 2 & 7 identified with four beasts and four metallic parts of Nebuchadnezzar’s image have been identified by reputable historians as Babylon, Medio-Persia, Greek, and Roman.

There are no additional worldwide Gentile kingdoms in the prophecy between the time of the ancient Roman Empire and the time that God sets up His kingdom. Therefore, in God’s eyes the fourth beast exists and tramples down the earth from the time of the Roman Empire until the Lord smashes it and sets up His kingdom at the end of the age.… continue reading
