Initially, It Is Not The Death Of Christ That Saves Us, But Our Belief In It. Yet Our Faith In The Promise

Initially, it is not the death of Christ that saves us, but our belief in it. Yet our faith in the promise of Christ's salvation through his death and resurrection must have a true basis; otherwise our faith is in vain. That's why John says, 'For whatever is born [or reborn] of God overcomes the world; and THIS IS THE VICTORY that has overcome the world—our faith.' --1 John 5:4. 'By faith Noah, being warned by God about things NOT YET SEEN ... became an heir [was saved] of the righteousness which is according to faith.' --Hebrews 11:7. This is why we are reminded that faith is not of things already witnessed, but of things to come: 'Now faith is the assurance of things HOPED FOR, the conviction of things NOT [YET] SEEN.' --Hebrews 11:1.

--Eli of Kittim

νυνϊ δε απαξ επι ϲυντελεια των αιωνων ειϲ αθετηϲιν τηϲ αμαρτιαϲ δια τηϲ θυϲιαϲ αυτου πεφανερωται.“ (Hebrews 9:26, Codex Sinaiticus, Greek NT). Translation: "Once in the conclusion of the ages [in Greek the word αιωνων/‘ages’ means 'centuries’] has he been made manifest, to put away sin through the sacrifice of himself.” (Hebrews 9:26, Codex Sinaiticus). According to this verse, did Jesus come in the time of antiquity, or is he manifested to die for the sins of mankind in the conclusion of all the centuries? Either the Gospels are right and this verse is wrong, or this verse is right and the Gospels are wrong. Both can’t be right. You’d have to tear this page out of the Bible to believe in the current view. Or is the Bible contradicting itself? No, the Bible is without contradiction. Both are right. But how? Because the Gospels are only narrative renderings of a messianic prophecy that is given to us in the form of a theological story that we can all understand and then pass it down through the corridors of time to our posterity. Whereas the Epistles are direct messages, not stories, which are meant to expatiate on the teachings of Christ. That’s why there’s no mention of the magi, the nativity scene, the virgin birth, or Bethlehem in the Epistles. So which of the two categories (the Gospels or the Epistles) provide the most accurate time of Christ’s incarnation? You decide.

Eli of Kittim

Here's a frequently asked question: "When were the Christians saved?"

El Kittim

Answer: "At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. AND AT THAT TIME YOUR PEOPLE SHALL BE DELIVERED, Every one who is found written in the book. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt” (Dan. 12:1-2, NKJ).

Eli of Kittim on the Future Incarnation of Christ

Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and be given to a [different] nation producing the fruit of it. … And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard His parables, they understood that He was speaking about them [the Jews].

--Matt. 21:43-45

The Little Book of Revelation: The First Coming of Jesus at the End of Days

"The Little Book of Revelation: The First Coming of Jesus at the End of Days" uncovers a post-biblical conspiracy, perpetuated by the Church, that has essentially turned prophecy into history. While calling for a modern reformation, it raises some serious questions about the validity of the long-held belief in the historical Jesus. The book's unique argument is that the biblical story of Jesus is prophetic rather than historical, and it is well-supported biblically. It is based on a twenty-year study of the Bible. The author also uses the ancient works of Nostradamus and the Dead Sea Scrolls in an attempt to substantiate his claims. What is more, the book includes prophecies concerning the timing of the coming Messiah, the Antichrist, and the apocalyptic events. It takes a fresh new look at the story of Jesus through the lens of a modern biblical expert.
