  • Israel's Future in Bible Prophecy: A Biblical Exposition | J. Allen Mashburn

    Israel's Future in Bible Prophecy: A Biblical Exposition | J. Allen Mashburn
    Nov 2 2025
    Israel's Future in Bible Prophecy: A Biblical Exposition Introduction: The Setting from Luke 21 As we open our Bibles to the Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, we find Jesus standing on the Mount of Olives, overlooking the city of Jerusalem. His disciples marvel at the temple's grandeur, but the Lord turns their attention to far greater matters—the signs of the end times and the destiny of His people. In Luke 21:20-24, Jesus declares: "And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” Here, the Lord Jesus foretells the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, a tragic fulfillment of judgment on unbelieving Israel. Yet, notice the phrase "until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." This points beyond that historical event to a future restoration. The "times of the Gentiles" refer to the period when Gentile powers dominate Jerusalem, but it has an end. From this vantage, Jesus shifts in verses 25-28 to cosmic signs and His return: "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” Luke 21 sets the stage for our study: Israel's past rebellion, present trials, and glorious future under the Messiah's reign. God's Word promises that though Israel has stumbled, He will lift them up. Let us trace this thread through Scripture, seeing God's unchanging faithfulness to His covenant people. Israel's Past: From Abraham's Call to Repeated Rejection To understand Israel's future, we must first look back to her origins. God did not find Israel as a nation; He created her. In Genesis 12:1-3, the Lord calls Abram, a Gentile idol-worshiper from Ur of the Chaldees: "Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Abram—later Abraham—became the father of the Jewish nation through Isaac and Jacob, whom God renamed Israel (Genesis 32:28). This was no accident of history; it was divine election. God promised Abraham an everlasting covenant in Genesis 17:7-8: "And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.” This covenant is unconditional—based on God's promise, not Israel's performance. It includes land, seed, and blessing, and it stands today. God reiterated it to Isaac (Genesis 26:3-4) and Jacob (Genesis 28:13-15), forming the twelve tribes of Israel. Yet, from the exodus onward, Israel repeatedly rejected her Creator. In the wilderness, they murmured against Moses and God (Exodus 17:3; Numbers 14:1-4). Entering the land, they turned to idols (Judges 2:11-13). The kings, from Saul to the divided kingdom, led them into idolatry, culminating in Assyrian and Babylonian captivities (2 Kings 17:7-18; 2 Kings 25). Prophets like Jeremiah warned of judgment for covenant unfaithfulness (Jeremiah 3:6-10). This pattern peaked in the rejection of the Messiah Himself. The Jewish leaders knew the Scriptures foretold His coming. Psalm 22:16-18 vividly describes His crucifixion: "For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.” Isaiah 53:3-6, 9-12 paints the suffering Servant: "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid ...

  • A Concise Biblical Examination of John 1:1 and It’s Importance to Our Faith | J. Allen Mashburn

    A Concise Biblical Examination of John 1:1 and It’s Importance to Our Faith | J. Allen Mashburn
    Oct 12 2025
    A Concise Biblical Examination of John 1:1 and It’s Importance to Our Faith “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” This verse is like a treasure chest full of truth about who Jesus is. It tells us that Jesus, called “the Word,” is God and has always been with God. Let’s break it down into three simple parts, using the original Greek words to help us understand, and see how it shows that Jesus is fully God. Part 1: “In the beginning was the Word” What it says in Greek: En archē ēn ho Logos Simple meaning: “When everything started, the Word was already there.” -“In the beginning”: This is like the very first moment of everything, just like the start of the Bible in Genesis 1:1, where God created the world. The Greek word archē means the start of all things. It’s saying Jesus was there before anything was made. -“Was”: This Greek word tells us the Word didn’t start existing—it was already there, always existing, forever. Jesus didn’t have a beginning; He’s eternal God. -“The Word”: The “Word” is Jesus. In Greek, Logos means God’s way of speaking or showing Himself. Jesus is God’s special way of talking to us and showing who God is. The word ho (the) means He’s the one and only Word, not just any word. What this tells us: Jesus, the Word, was there before time began. He didn’t get created because He’s eternal, just like God. This shows us Jesus is God because only God has no beginning. Part 2: “And the Word was with God” What it says in Greek: kai ho Logos ēn pros ton Theon Simple meaning: “The Word was close to God.” -“Was with”: The Greek word pros means being right next to someone, like best friends who are always together. It shows Jesus was with God in close proximity, sharing a special relationship. -“God”: This is talking about God the Father. The Greek words show it’s a specific person, not just a vague idea of God. Jesus, the Word, is not the Father, but He’s with Him. What this tells us: Jesus is a distinct person from God the Father, but they’re together as One. This shows Jesus is part of the Godhead, not a creation. It’s a hint that God is more than one person but yet still one God. Part 3: “And the Word was God” What it says in Greek: Kai Theos ēn ho Logos Simple meaning: “The Word was God.” -“God”: In Greek, Theos means God, but here it doesn’t have the word ho (the) like before. This doesn’t mean Jesus is less than God. It’s a way to say Jesus has all the qualities of God—He is God in His nature, not a different or smaller god. -“Was”: Again, this word shows Jesus didn’t become God; He always was God, forever. What this tells us: Jesus, the Word, is fully God. He’s not just like God or partly God—He is God, with all of God’s power, glory, and nature. This is super important because it tells us Jesus isn’t just a great person or a prophet; He’s God Himself. Kai —— And Theos — God ēn ——- was (can also mean “always existed”- thus, “God ‘always existed’ as the Word.”) ho —— the Logos — Word Our translators didn’t get it wrong, it was proper to translate it “…and the Word was God,” in English in 1611. Saying “God was the Word” is like saying God’s essence is perfectly shown in Jesus. It’s two ways of saying the same thing: Jesus is truly, fully, 100% God. Christ came to fully reveal God to humanity, thus the Word was God and God was the Word. Why This Matters: Jesus is God — Yet there are approximately 10,000 world religions that claim He isn’t. (Source: Google, Accessed 10-8-2025) John 1:1 is like a big sign shouting that Jesus is God. Here’s what we learn: 1. Jesus is eternal: He was there “in the beginning,” before anything was made. Only God is eternal, so Jesus is God. 2. Jesus is close to God: He’s with God the Father in a special, loving relationship, showing He’s a person in the Godhead, not just a thing or idea. 3. Jesus is fully God: The Word is God, sharing all of God’s qualities. This means Jesus has God’s power, love, and glory. This verse sets up the whole Gospel of John, where we see Jesus do amazing things only God can do, like creating life (John 1:3) and forgiving sins (John 8:58). Later, in John 1:14 (“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth”), we learn that this Word became a human—Jesus! So, the God who was there forever (always existed) became a person to show us who God is and to save us. Summary of the Lesson on John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” The verse is broken into three parts to show that Jesus, called “the Word” (Greek: ho...
