In this Bible Study Sunday, I reflect on the spirit of Thanksgiving, genuine friendship, and gratitude for our growing community. From there, we continue our multi-week series on dispensations, revisiting last week’s Passover study and moving into a doctrinal exploration of kingdoms, crowns, and the law—why the Bible devotes so much space to the rise and fall of governments, how Moses served as a king in Jeshurun, and how Israel was called to be a kingdom of priests. We trace the “path of the crowns” from Adam to Noah to Abraham to Moses, contrast the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God, and consider how amillennial approaches misplace hope in political reform rather than in Christ. Digging into Scripture (Deuteronomy 33, Exodus 4, Leviticus 26), we examine God’s covenant promises and warnings, the reality of divine blessing and discipline, and the persistent pattern of human collapse revealed in Judges. We discuss why Satan’s opposition broadened from individuals to an entire nation, why antisemitism recurs through history, and how God preserves Israel because of His unconditional covenant. Along the way, we touch on seven baptisms in Scripture, the difference between inspirational and doctrinal applications, and the sustaining hope of the rapture. The takeaway: only Jesus Christ—Prophet, Priest, and King—can restore what the first Adam lost, and our trust must be in Him, not in human systems. Join us next week as we begin tabernacle worship and how people were saved under the law.
