Christ’s goings forth are from eternity (Micah 2:5) and onto the bridge of time (John 1:1, 14), and eventually He will go forth with all His believers into eternity forever (John 1:51). If you look at the history of man, you will see how Christ came out of eternity into time through incarnation, how He […]

The only sign that the Lord Jesus gave to the Jews was the sign of Jonah (see Matt. 12:38-41).
