- We’ve seen that the Apostolic Church Fathers began to deviate from the Word of God in the Ephesus Church Period (90–200 A.D.). #WordStrong
- The deviations continue in the Smyrna Church Period (200–325 A.D.) through the Ante-Nicene Church Fathers. #WordStrong
- One of the key deviations in the Smyrna Period is the teaching that God is finished with the Jews (Rev 2:9). #WordStrong
- Understanding this teaching is vital because Jesus calls it SATANIC and BLASPHEMOUS (Rev.2:9)! #WordStrong
- Jesus also lets us know that this teaching will be one of the key tenants of Satan’s counterfeit church (Rev. 2:9). #WordStrong
- What you believe about the Jew has significant implications & ramifications on what you believe about the Millennium. #WordStrong
- The difference between correct/false doctrine comes down to whether or not somebody is Premillennial. #WordStrong
- Premillennialists know where to place the Jew correctly in the Word of God so they don’t misapply biblical teaching to the Jew. #WordStrong
- Losing sight of the Jew is what is at the root of false teaching regarding BAPTISM, TONGUES and ETERNAL SECURITY. #WordStrong
- What Premillennialists are looking for is a gov’t OF Christ, brought to the earth BY Christ, & set up FOR Christ (Isa. 9:6–7)! #WordStrong
