- The Identity Of The Nephilim | Let Us Reason
This is a study that takes an in-depth look into a topic that's widely been either ignored or misunderstood by many who study the Bible. Who were the Nephilim? Did giants once walk the earth? What was their origin? The Identity of the Nephilim | Let Us Reason Description Contents Download In this study, The Identity Of The Nephilim , we will delve into a topic that’s widely been either ignored or misunderstood by many who study the Bible. It’s a topic that requires one to expand their thinking, and presents a profound exercise in sound Bible interpretation. As we will see, the Bible leaves us no room for private interpretation on this matter. The text of scripture is very clear in its declaration of the existence of giants, called Nephilim in Hebrew, the offspring of the illicit sexual union of rebellious angels and human women in the ancient past. We will also examine the opposing mainstream viewpoint that denies this interpretation. How will it hold up against the evidence? What profound implications does the subject of the Nephilim have on our understanding of the foundational background of the Old Testament (subjects such as the purpose for the Flood, the conquest of Canaan, etc.), as well as potential implications for end-time prophecy?

The importance of being anchored in Biblical truth cannot be overstated for the healthy believer. One of the reasons found for straying from the faith is a poor foundation of knowledge regarding truth. As the passage above implies, this can have harmful consequences. One of the functional objectives of the church is the office of teaching. The purpose of teaching is to ground the Christian in the truth so that he is firmly planted for when the trials of life inevitably present. It is to train, prepare, and equip the believer for what he will face in the world outside. It is to help prepare each believer to be an ambassador for Christ within his own individual sphere of influence. A problematic issue in the church today is the emphasis on the emotional side of the Christian experience, without equal emphasis on deep and effective teaching. This imbalance often results in a fleshly and superficial version of Christianity. When emotions are high and things are good, all is well. But when trouble or doubt arise, these types of Christians are left in turmoil and confusion - often culminating in a turning away from the faith. A Christian whose experience is founded primarily upon feelings and emotion rather than being anchored in understanding and evidence is often no match for the Enemy. On the other hand, a Christian grounded in what he knows is a more difficult target for the Enemy. When trouble or doubt arise, he is more able to stand upon the truth and be unmoved. His roots are planted firmly into the bedrock of the Word. He is unaffected by whirling circumstances and emotion. Instead, he holds to what he knows to help sustain him through uncertain times. We believe one thing sorely lacking in many people's Christian experience today is this important ministry of sound Biblical teaching. The primary objective of Let Us Reason is to help fill that gap by providing the viewer with in-depth studies on Biblical topics. We strongly believe and advocate that each individual believer understand why he believes what he claims to believe. So often, concepts taught in churches are presented in a declarative fashion instead of an explanatory fashion. Often, no (or poor) evidence is given and no (or poor) explanation is attempted. We believe this is hazardous to the spiritual well-being of the believer. It is setting the stage for superficial Christianity. It is setting the stage for faith that is not built upon a firm foundation. But genuine Christianity is the only belief system that challenges both believers and unbelievers to examine the evidence for themselves. The Word of God and its teachings are trustworthy, reliable, relevant, and provable to all those who are willing to put forth the effort to understand. We hope you will find the following topics both useful and enlightening! Back to Home
- Should Christians Support Israel? | Let Us Reason
This study will explore several important questions related to the issue of whether or not Christians should support the nation of Israel. Is God finished with Israel as a nation, or does she still have a future in God's program? What should a Christian's attitude be towards Israel? Should Christians Support Israel? | Let Us Reason Description Contents Download This study, Should Christians Support Israel? will explore several important questions concerning the nation of Israel from a Biblical basis ... questions such as the following. What should the attitude of the Christian be towards Israel as a nation? Should the fact that national Israel is currently in unbelief affect the way we view the covenants and promises God has given to them? Is Israel as a unique chosen nation still relevant in God’s program – and do they still have a future in His plan? How should Christians view the modern State of Israel? Should Christians support the independent sovereignty of the modern State of Israel? These questions have emerged as some of the most polarizing and hotly contested issues in our modern religious and geopolitical world. As we enter into an examination of this subject, we will do our best to exclusively look at what the Bible says about this subject – and not the frequent disinformation routinely spewed by both political and religious institutions.

- Nimrod - Was He An Actual Historical Figure? | Let Us Reason
One of the great mysteries of the Bible involves the identity of Nimrod. Despite only being mentioned several times in scripture, he is recognized as one of the greatest villains in biblical history, and even as the first prototype of the future Antichrist. But the major question surrounds his historical identity. Is there any evidence that Nimrod was an actual historical figure, as the Bible claims? If so, who is he? Is there anyone whose exploits reflect what the Bible says about Nimrod? Nimrod - Was He An Actual Historical Figure? | Let Us Reason Description Contents Download One of the great mysteries of the Bible involves the identity of Nimrod, the character mentioned in early Genesis who is often credited with building the Tower of Babel. Despite only being mentioned several times in scripture, he is notoriously recognized as being one of the greatest villains in biblical history, and even as the first prototype of the future Antichrist figure. But the major question surrounds his actual historical identity. Is there any evidence that Nimrod was an actual historical figure, as the Bible claims? If so, who is he? Is there anyone whose exploits actually reflect what the Bible says about Nimrod? Of course, surely a person as notorious as Nimrod would be identifiable in history, if he was truly a real, historical character, as the Bible seems to present him as. There should be some memory of him preserved as an actual historical king, not just a mythical figure. As we’ll demonstrate in this study - Nimrod Was He An Actual Historical Figure? - it in fact does seem that we’re able to positively identify him. Although we can’t be dogmatic, this study will present to you the reasons why I’m convinced that we can positively identify Nimrod! Download this free study to find out more!

- Typology Of The Moedim: The Levitical Feasts As Prophetic Macrocodes | Let Us Reason
This is a study that examines the prophetic typology behind the eight levitical feasts that Israel was instructed to observe. We will discover how they act as prophetic "dress-rehearsals" for future divine appointments on God's calendar for mankind. Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement, Tabernacles, 8th Day Typology of the Moedim | Let Us Reason Description Contents Download In this study, Typology Of The Moedim: The Levitical Feasts As Prophetic Macrocodes , we examine the eight feasts that the Israelites were commanded by God to celebrate during the Hebrew religious calendar year. The institution of these feasts by God provides incredible meaning and relevance to modern observers in light of the events of the New Testament, which occurred over a thousand years later. We will thoroughly investigate the typological themes and details of each feast, recognizing how they strategically profiled future prophetic events. find that the typology of these feasts demonstrates a profound verification of the integration and prophetic nature of the Bible – evidence pointing to its authorship as being from outside time. How do the Hebrew words moedim and miqra - which the Bible uses to refer to the Jewish feasts - reveal the mystery of how we should view them? What do these words mean? In what way do these feasts picture future events on God's calendar for mankind? Were the spring and summer feasts fulfilled? If so, how precisely? What do the fall or autumn feasts tell us about God's future plans? And what can they teach us about eschatology, or the study of the end-times? How do the feasts uniquely reveal God's Word as being one integrated message system given to us from outside of time? Download this free study and find out for yourself!

- The Nature Of Time | Let Us Reason
This is a study that undertakes an investigation of the scientific underpinnings of time itself – and how it relates to the theme of Biblical prophecy as being an evidence of the Bible's supernatural origin. The Nature of Time | Let Us Reason Description Contents Download In the quest of every person who sets out to attempt to determine the validity of the Bible, they must at some point confront the subject of Bible prophecy. Bible prophecy is one of the primary evidences Christians point to that demonstrates the supernatural origin of the Bible – or, in other words, it is how we know the Bible comes from God and not man. Most people have some awareness of the most basic meaning of the word “prophecy,” understanding it to have something to do with the foreknowledge of things or events. Obviously, for something to be truly prophetic, it must be foretold prior to the events it anticipates. But most people don’t pause to think about the subject of prophecy deeply enough to recognize that the only reason prophecy is incredible to us is because we are trapped within a peculiar dimension called “time.” Because we are confined within the boundaries of time, we find it incredible that future events could be foretold with incredible accuracy and precision. In this study, The Nature Of Time , we will undertake an investigation of this subject and provide a deeper understanding regarding the scientific underpinnings of our perceptions of time itself – and how these concepts relate to the theme of Biblical prophecy as being an evidence for the supernatural origin of the Bible.

- Jeremiah's 70 Years Prophecy: The Babylonian Captivity | Let Us Reason
This is a study that explores the often-misunderstood prophecy of the 70 years of Israel's Babylonian captivity. Was this prophecy fulfilled precisely? Does it align with our understanding of ancient history? Jeremiah's 70 Years Prophecy | Let Us Reason Description Contents Download In this study, Jeremiah's 70 Years Prophecy: The Babylonian Captivity , we will explore this often misunderstood prophecy in depth and try to determine if what we know from history aligns with what the Bible says about these prophetic seventy years. Jeremiah’s prophecy about the impending Babylonian invasion and the captivity of the Jews is undoubtedly his most well-known prophecy – and is linked with a duration of seventy years. But a historical seventy-year period has been problematic for some commentators to identify precisely. Can we identify this period with any confidence? Some have concluded that these seventy-year prophecies are only approximate at best, and wildly inaccurate at worst. Is this true? Or were these prophecies fulfilled accurately? And if so, can it be proven using our understanding of ancient history? Download this free study and find out for yourself!

- The Daniel 11 Prophecy: History From The 5th-1st Centuries B.C. Detailed In Advance | Let Us Reason
This is a study that undertakes an exploration of the longest continuous prophecy in the Bible, found mostly in Daniel Chapter 11. Does it align with our understanding of ancient history? How precise is it? The Daniel 11 Prophecy | Let Us Reason Description Contents Download In this study, The Daniel 11 Prophecy: History From The 5th-1st Centuries B.C. Detailed In Advance , we will undertake an exploration of the longest continuous prophecy in the Bible, found in the 11th Chapter of Daniel, and continuing into the beginning of Chapter 12. This expansive prophecy anticipates the political maneuverings of the powers that fought over and ruled Judea and the Jews throughout the period of the first sixty-nine weeks of the seventy weeks prophecy given earlier to Daniel (Daniel 9:24-27). These powers included the northern Seleucid kingdom of Syria, the southern Ptolemaic kingdom of Egypt, the Jewish Hasmonean dynasty, the Roman Empire, and Rome’s vassal in Judea, Herod the Great. Like many prophecies, this one is likely dual in many ways; events that have occurred in ancient times will likely be replicated at the time of the end (in the future seventieth week) for an ultimate far-term fulfillment. It seems clear that Antiochus IV and Herod the Great are types of the coming Antichrist. What is remarkable from this extensive prophecy is how it thoroughly demonstrates the precision the Bible uses to profile history in advance. Just how precise is it?
