New Wine for the End Times

Seven major problems are solved by literally applying Old Testament Jewish eschatology to the New Testament Church.  The New Wine System is a very literal interpretation of Scripture.  (more)

1) Calvinism vs. Arminianism (election vs. free-will).  Solving this major Church divider without the use of paradoxes, or two sides of the same coin.  (more)

2) Salvation is a free gift.  But inheriting the Kingdom requires lots of work.  Solving the friction between grace and holiness verses.  (more)

3) Does salvation require fruits of the Spirit?  Solving the friction between Lordship Salvation and Free Grace Theology.  (more)

4) The millennium as a free-grace alternative to purgatory.  Solving the differences in salvation verses between Catholicism and Protestantism.  (more)

5) Would a loving God have a merciful plan for our loved ones who have died having never heard or understood about Jesus Christ?  (more)

6) Jewish eschatology provides Scriptural evidence that children who die young do not go to hell.  (more)

7) Amillennialism vs. Premillennialism.  Scriptural evidence for the purpose of Christ's Messianic reign.  The millennium is the climax of God's plan for all generations.  (more)

The application of Old Testament Jewish eschatology to the New Testament Church solves these seven major problems of Scripture, which have divided the Church over the centuries.  Most of the New Testament was written by Jews.  The New Wine System literally interprets Scripture along the same lines as the Jewish eschatology system of that day.  The Jewish New Testament authors applied Old Testament prophecies about Israel to the New Testament Church.  If we do the same, then these seven major problems of Scripture are solved.  In addition, many verses of other topics that have been hard to understand start fitting the system and become easily understood.

The Gospel (Good News) of the Kingdom   (more)

Believe in Jesus and you will inherit eternal life.  But look at the context of John 3:16 for a true understanding of the Gospel.  The verse right before, at John 3:14-15, says: "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life."  The people of Old Testament Israel were told to look upon the serpent to be healed of sickness and disease.  But Christ was lifted up so that we can be healed from sin.  We must be saved from sin.  All sins are habitual.  If we still sin, we must continue to look to the cross in order to stop sinning – in order to be healed from our sinful habits, so that we no longer sin.  Only then can we inherit eternal life.

As we live and work for Christ the Holy Spirit changes us and we overcome all our sinful habits.  Those who live and work for Christ will overcome all their sinful habits and will inherit eternal life.  They will reign with Christ at the time of the resurrection, when Christ sets up his earthly kingdom.   (more)

The pre-tribulation rapture is easily disproved: The tribulation saints are resurrected after the tribulation (Rev. 20:4). This is the first resurrection (Rev. 20:5). The rapture must be after the first resurrection because, "The dead in Christ will rise first" (1 Thess. 4:16). The first resurrection cannot be a second resurrection. Plus, the resurrection is on the last day (1 John 6:40) and there is only one "last day."

Dispensationalism is easily disproved: The Gentile Church is grafted into the olive tree of Israel. The olive tree must be Israel because the hardened Jews who were broken off were excluded from Israel. Jewish Israel will be unhardened when the full number of Gentiles have come into the olive tree of Israel (Rom. 11:25). So the Gentile Church is a part of Israel and will also inherit the literal millennial promises to Abraham (Gal 3:29).
