The Jewish Feasts – Part II

Charles Cooper

 Much of the relationship between events in the life of Christ and the Jewish feasts is a matter of speculation because Scripture does not explicitly state that the Lord “fulfilled” them. Given that this is the case, all should exercise care in the interpretation of God’s Word regarding these matters. Drawing unsubstantiated conclusions based on similarities, indirect comparisons, and misguided and overflowing exuberance leads to examples like Fruchtenbaum’s claim: “There are two main passages that deal with the details of the Rapture and in both of those passages there is the presence of a trumpet, the trumpet of the Feast of Trumpets,” (www.ariel.org/mbs118m.pdf).

Blaising’s Understanding of Daniel’s Seventieth Week   (#2)

Charles Cooper

In the new book, Three Views on The Rapture: Pretribulation, Prewrath, or Posttribulation, Craig Blaising, et al, he asks the question:

Should we understand the day of the Lord here to be coextensive with or identical to the seventieth week of Daniel, which pretribulationists understand by the term tribulation?

Before we deal with the essence of Blaising’s question, we must first speak to the matter concerning the pretribulationist’s labeling of Daniel’s final week as “tribulation.” Sadly, Blaising missed an excellent opportunity to correct what clearly is prejudicial, inappropriate, and completely lacking in biblical authority – the misnaming of Daniel’s final week. Nowhere in Scripture is there an explicit biblical basis for labeling Daniel’s final week as “tribulation.” It unnecessarily implies that the entire seven-year period is one of “tribulation,” when in reality that is not the case.

Archaeology Vindicates, Once Again, the Historicity of the Bible

Haaretz Reports: “Deciphered etching sheds new light on Bible’s origin ”

Did the writing of the Bible begin as far back as the 10th century B.C.E., during the time of King David? That is four centuries earlier than Biblical scholars currently believe – but an inscription recently deciphered by a scholar at Haifa University indicates that for at least some books of the Bible, the answer may be yes.
The inscription, written in ink on clay, is the earliest yet found in Hebrew. It was discovered about 18 months ago in a dig at Khirbet Qeiyafa, near Emek Ha’ela. While it was quickly dated, its language remained uncertain until Prof. Gershon Galil was able to demonstrate that it was an early form of Hebrew – containing roots commonly found in Hebrew, but which are very rare in other Semitic languages.
