Yet the Old Testament also contains prophecies of a new kingdom that would...

The United States will eventually fall, whether this is in two years or two hundred years. But as Christians, we are part of a kingdom “which will never be destroyed” (Daniel 2:44). While being a citizen of the United States certainly has its advantages, we must remember that first and foremost, “our citizenship is in heaven” (Philippians 3:20). We...

But we should take comfort in this fact – God is, and always will be, with Hispeople (Matthew 28:20). Notice what Paul wrote to the saints in Rome: Let us be sure that we remain faithful to Him, no matter what happens in the wo...
God has now given it a horn again, and that a high one, i.e., has helped Israel to attain again an independence among the nations that commands respect. In Psalm 132, where the horn is an object of the promise, we might directly understand by it the Branch (Zemach).
Luke 1:69. And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us. Meaning the Messiah, whom God had now raised up: in the house of his servant David; in David's family, he being now conceived by a virgin of his house; and who, in a little time, would be born in Bethlehem, the city of David.
Meaning the Messiah, whom God had now raised up: in the house of his servant David; in David's family, he being now conceived by a virgin of his house; and who, in a little time, would be born in Bethlehem, the city of David. He is called "an horn of salvation", because he is a powerful Saviour.
