Postcanon

The Postcanon Period: from 96 A.D.; with the death of the Apostle

John, to the present. The Age of the Church will terminate with the

Rapture or resurrection of the Church. The way of life for Church

Age believers and the doctrines pertinent to this period are found in

New Testament Epistles-- Romans through Revelation, Chapter 3.

A picture of the Church in heaven is described in Revelation, Chapters

4 and 5.

" The fear of the Lord tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied"
Proverbs 19:23

Thank you, Lord, for the privilege of communion with You.
In Christ name I pray

Precanon

The Precanon Period:

from the day of Pentcost (about 33 A.D. to 96 A.D. )

the NewTestament was in the process of being written, but was not complete.

The Book of Acts does not present the doctrines of the Church, but gives the

historical development of the precanon period of the Church Age. It  declares,

historically, how this segment differed from the postcanon period. For  example,

precanon  activity was charcterized by such temporary spiritual gifts as apostleship,

healing, tongues, miracles, etc. These gifts no longer exist, and today we have no

bona fide apostles, healers, or people speaking in tongues.

 

"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."
Matthew 5:6

Help us Lord, to carefully bear the fruit of the Spirit. Help us to be the very
essence of goodness.

Covenant Three And Four

The Davidic Covenant

(2 Sam. 7:8--16; 22:51)

perpetuates the Davidic dynasty through the eternal reign

of Christ (Luke 1:32; Acts 2:29;30).

 

The New Covenant to Israel confirms the future of Israel

in spite of the administration of the fifth cycle of discipline

to both Northern and Southern Kingdoms, and relates the

future of Israel to the First Advent and strategic victory of

Christ which includes the Cross, resurrection, ascension and

session.

 

"When I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me."
Micah 7:8

Thank You , dear Lord for Your precious light. Keep my vision clear,
that I may only travel on Your lighted pathway.
In Christ name I pray

 

 



God's Promises to Israel

Covenant Two

 

The Palestinian Covenant (13:14,15) promises the Jews a specified

territory in the Middle East and secures the final restoration of Israel

in this land after the Second Advent of Jesus  Christ 

(Isa. 11:11,12).

 

"Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy;
at thy right hand there are pleasures for ever more."
Psalm 16:11

O God of love and forgiveness, so fill my heart with the spirit of Jesus
that I will be quick to return love for evil.
In Christ name I pray



Covenants

The Four Unconditional Covenants:

An everlasting treaty into which God entered with Abraham

and his born-again progeny (Gen.17:7). The treaty consists

of four separate paragraphs and guarantees the Jews a future,

a purpose and a title deed to a land of their own. Unconditional

in nature, the treaty depends solely upon the character of God.

 

1. The Abrahamic Covenant (Gen. 12:1-3) establishes the Jewish

race and the future nation Israel and anathematizes anti-Semitism

(Gen.13:14:-17;15:1-7, 18; 17:1-8).

 

"Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty
things which thou knowest not."
Jeremiah 33:3

God, help us to live one day at a time and enjoy each gift that You have
given us. Help us to be glad and rejoice in each new day.
In Christ name I pray

 

 

 

Do Not Reject Biblical Principles

 

Times

 

We did the First ,Second and Third Cycle of Discipline

 

The Fourth Cycle of Discipline:  military conquest and /or foreign occupation;

scarcity of food (reduced to one-tenth of the normal supply); the  breaking

up of families (Lev. 26:27-39).

 

Fifth Cycle of Discipline: destruction of a nation due to maximum rejection

of Biblical principles ( Lev. 26:27-39).

 

These are Times as it relates to the history of Israel.

(History does repeat it's self)

 

"Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted."
Matthew 5:4

Thank you, God, for the many times you have come to our rescue.
Help us to trust you when dark times come.
In Christ name I pray

 

 

 



God's Cycles Of Discipline

"Times"

 

First Cycle of Discipline:

loss of health, decline of agricultural prosperity, terror, fear

and death in combat, loss of personal freedoms due to negative

volition toward Bible doctrine (Lev. 26:14-17)

 

Second Cycle of Discipline:

economic recession and depression; increased personal and

individual discipline for continued negative attitude in spite

of the first warning (Lev. 26:18-20)

 

Third Cycle of Discipline:

Violence and breakdown of law and order; cities broken up

(Lev. 26:21,22).

 

There are two more, which of the three do you think

we may be in?

So goes the nation so we go.

But God said to his children He would never leave us or forsake us.

 

" I will give unto him that is arthirst of the fountain of  the water of life freely"
Revelation 21:6

Heavenly Father, fill me with thy joy so that there will be a constant
overflow to attract others to Thyself.
