2018 Trumpets Offertory: The Trumpet Watchman Offertory

What do trumpets signify in the Bible? What are the two types of trumpets associated with the first day of the month? Are there trumpet warnings in both the Old and New Testaments? Should Christians support the watchman? Where can Christians provide financial support for that work? In addition to blowing two different types of trumpets, Dr. Thiel answers those questions and more.

Trumpets and Being Born Again

The Feast of Trumpets is considered to be the fourth out of seven annual Holy Days. It is discussed as a memorial for the blowing of trumpets in the Book of Leviticus. Does this have anything to do with Christians today? Are Christians begotten or born again after conversion? What does the Bible teach? If Christians are not born again upon conversion, are they to be born again at the seventh trumpet? What happens with the other trumpets? What about the Book of Life? At what event did Theophilus of Antioch teach Christians will be born again? Should Christians keep the Feast of Trumpets today? Are things going to continue as they have been or do the trumpets of Revelation sound massive change? When do Christians become incorruptible? Dr. Thiel covers these matters and more.

Again, here is a link to the sermon video: Trumpets and Being Born Again.

Jewish Year 5779 or 5990?

According to the Jewish ‘Seder Olam Rabbah’ the period from sunset 9 September 2018 to 29 September 2019 is the year 5779 Anno Mundi (age of the world). However, the Jewish Encyclopedia, secular scholars, and modern Jewish experts have all claimed that the count is off between 164 to 200 plus years. Are we closer to the year 5990 than 5779 since Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden? Why would the Seder Olam be off by so much? Does any of this have anything to do with deceit and pointing to the false ‘messiah’ Simon Bar Kochba? Was the Messiah supposed to come after 4000 or 6000 years? Does Daniel 9:26 clearly point to Jesus? Dr. Thiel refers to Jewish accepted and other sources to answer these questions? An article of related interest it available titled Does God Have a 6,000 Year Plan? What Year Does the 6,000 Years End?
