VKCE01 Covenant Theology and Eschatology

VKCE01 The Church is On the Winning Side

This was exclusively a preaching session emphasizing the major tenet of Postmillennialism. This is the eschatology of victory. This session set the stage for the week long module consisting of 27 lectures. In this first session, there is an emphasis on preaching and the victory of the Gospel. One's present worldview does impact one's future activity. We are on the winning side in history because Jesus has all the power. The Great Commission will be fulfilled prior to His Second Coming.

VKCE01 Covenant Theology and Eschatology

This session discusses the relationship of Covenant Theology to Eschatology. The covenant of works is briefly discussed, and then an introduction to the covenant of grace demonstrates that this covenant spans both the Old and New Testaments. The Old looks to a coming Messiah, while the New looks back to the Messiah who has come. The Adamic covenant introduces the historical war between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent.

Faith in Promises That Dispels Fear

The Christian does not need to worry over difficult circumstances. We don't have to be afraid of anything. The key is having faith in God's Promises. Such faith produces courage. God's sovereignty and belief in it is the key.

The Church's Storming of the Gates of Hell

One of the great themes of the Bible is the divine promise of victory for Christ and His church. King Jesus will and is winning the spiritual battles being waged on earth. His church is the key element in this victory of Christ. The church is on the offensive not the defensive. Jesus' promise in Matthew 16-18 is drawn from the divine promise of Genesis 22-17.

The Futility of Asking For Signs

The Pharisees, Scribes, and Sadducees were wanting Jesus to perform signs, but Jesus would not comply but why- Evil generations seek for signs.
