David Typifies the Suffering Christ: God Answered His Prayer in Resurrection and Ascension

 It is amazing to read Psa. 22, 109, and 110 and see how David typifies the suffering Christ passing through His death, and his prayer concerning his sufferings typifies Christ’s prayer. On one hand, David typifies Christ as the King with the kingdom; on the other hand, he typifies Christ as the suffering One, […]

In His Ascension Christ Propagates Himself through His Believers to Produce the Churches

Two thousand years or so ago there was a man who lived on earth, and this man’s life and work changed the course of human history. He did not “deliver the whole nation from the enemy” neither did He “fight wars and was victorious in battles with many heroic acts”. Rather, He was a God-man […]

In His Ascension Christ was Enthroned to Execute God’s Administration and Carry out His Economy
