The Day of The Lord Commentary


Book Description

The Old Testament is richly laden with prophecies and foreshadowings of the last days. Having never researched its treasures, however, many Christians possess a lopsided, exclusively New Testament understanding of End-Times prophecy. The Day of the Lord Commentary meticulously examines every Old Testament text foretelling or foreshadowing the dramatic people and events that consummate God’s prophetic plan, terminate this world order, and inaugurate Christ’s unprecedentedly righteous, peaceful, worldwide kingdom on earth. Only the Bible, accurately interpreted, establishes accurate End-Times views. This commentary’s abundant, biblical cross-references lay a deep, broad foundation for a clear, accurate eschatology. It will amaze you how often, and how specifically, Old and New Testament prophets agree. All see the same final events, and in the same order: Tribulation, Armageddon, Millennium! This in-depth study gives special attention to the Old Testament’s less-known “little apocalypses” in Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Zechariah, and identifies their many links to John’s well-known apocalypse, Revelation. Soundly refuting Supersessionism, it explains why God has regathered the Jews, reestablished the State of Israel, and preserved it against all odds: Israel’s Day of the Lord is coming! Book Review 1: "Greg Hinnant’s monumental work, The Day of the Lord Commentary, is a must-read for anyone interested in the final summation of End-Times events … Greg takes the reader on an extraordinary journey through the Old Testament with three-dimensional glasses that allows one to see direct references and indirect typology concerning the great drama of redemption as it moves to its conclusion. This may be the foremost study of its kind on this topic." -- Dr. Charles H. Gaulden, Old Testament Professor, Southeastern University Book Review 2: "It is exceptionally common in eschatological study to focus almost exclusively on the New Testament, yet such an approach ignores Paul’s admonition that all scripture is inspired (2 Timothy 3:16-17). The Day of the Lord Commentary provides a systematic overview of important references to the impending Day of the Lord found throughout the Old Testament, and weaves these prophetic expectations into one seamless tapestry throughout the whole Bible." -- Dr. Ran Whitley, DMin, PhD, Professor, Campbell University Book Review 3: "Though a Bible student all my life, certain passages remained obscure and confusing. The Day of the Lord Commentary has changed all of this, as these formerly confusing passages have now come alive. This book’s depth and insight into the Old Testament is astounding. How Greg was able to mine through all the rock and rubble of confusing Bible prophecy to access these precious stones of biblical revelation is truly a gift. This work is a must-read for all who desire a deeper understanding of God’s Word and a valuable resource for ministers, to shed light and understanding on the gospel message we proclaim." -- Sherri Leith, Senior Pastor, Family Worship Center, Port Orchard, Washington Book Review 4: "The Day of the Lord Commentary provides an in-depth study of biblical eschatology. Using a detailed comparative analysis of the eschatological oracles scattered throughout the Hebrew Bible, Greg lays out a theological roadmap for understanding God’s plan for Israel and the nations. This book, written from a Christian perspective, tackles some of the most intriguing End-Times prophecies recorded in Israel’s sacred scriptures. Pastors, preachers, and Bible teachers will greatly benefit from this thought-provoking volume." -- Dr. Igal German, Founding Director, Yesod Bible Center, and International Biblical Apologetics Association (bibleapologist.org)

Walking on Water


Book Description

Jesus wasn't the only one to walk on water: “Peter . . . [also] walked on the water” (Matthew 14:29)! Just as Peter walked securely, albeit briefly, on Galilee’s surging, dangerous waters, Christians, by simply trusting, obeying, and focusing on Christ, can expect His supernatural power to also help them through even the most trying, perilous circumstances. Walking on Water builds faith and prepares the faithful for whatever stormy seas life brings. Its challenging biblical perspectives on adversity help us see God in our hardships just as clearly as we see Him in our blessings. By maintaining this scriptural attitude—the spiritual mind—we meet every storm in the joy of faith, knowing more afflictions mean more spiritual growth, stronger God-confidence, longer-lasting endurance, sharper wisdom, deeper knowledge of God’s ways, closer intimacy with Him, and many other sweet blessings along the way.




Walking in His Ways


Book Description

In Walking in His Ways, Greg Hinnant uses a plethora of biblical examples to set forth the essential principles for genuine Christian discipleship in clear, easy-to-understand language. He illuminates 24 distinct "ways"—spiritual life-disciplines—that every Christian “disciple,” or deeply serious, irrevocably committed, self-disciplined, student-follower of Jesus, should know and live in daily. These Christlike ways guide you through the successive stages of Christian growth from spiritual infancy to maturity. Whatever your current experience, this book will speak to you, informing or reminding, encouraging or correcting, to inspire you to continue walking in his ways until you finish the course Jesus has set before you.




Spiritual Truths for Overcoming Adversity


Book Description

Jesus said, “Tribulation or persecution arises because of the word” (Matthew 13:21, NKJV). This implies, while everyone has troubles, committed Christians have them for different reasons. “Because of the word” means we are learning God’s Word, living it, and spreading its saving light. “Christian difficulties” are adversities Satan sends to destroy our faith and usefulness to God. Yet God permits them to build Christian character—if we respond properly. Spiritual Truths for Overcoming Adversity explores the deep ministry of adversity, revealing God’s loving guidance and wise purposes in all our difficulties. Its biblical insights illuminate God’s path through every shadowy valley and help us stop fighting and start cooperating with God, so He can mature our faith, draw us nearer, and use us more fruitfully. Search this Word-light, and let it search you. Obey it, and it will change you. Share it, so it can shine through you! Book Review 1: "Words fail me to express how much the Lord spoke to me through this book . . . and comforted me and strengthened me and guided me to withstand my sufferings and adversities." -- Evangeline Spurgeon, India Book Review 2: "Using Scriptures, this book will teach you how to understand and overcome your spiritual battles. This book is full of Godly wisdom. I praise God for . . . using it to open my heart and mind to know how to overcome." -- E. Brennan




ColossianNotes


Book Description

Bible teacher and author Greg Hinnant is noted for his passionate and precise handling of the Scriptures. In ColossianNotes, as in his other Bible commentaries, he meticulously brings to light the layers of eternal truth found in Paul’s letter to the Christians at Colosse. Many of the apostle’s themes are of critical importance today. Paul deeply loved the Colossians and implored them to stand fast against the encroachment of prevailing heresies that threatened the purity of their faith. He urged them to focus on the preeminence of Christ and, above all worldly issues, hold the hope of heaven in their hearts and minds. An excellent companion to the biblical text, this commentary will not only broaden your understanding of Paul’s epistle but also reveal its surprising relevance to Christians’ lives today. Pastors, teachers, and students will find this a very valuable and useful resource.
