TSCOC: Interpretations of Scripture
This version of the website has undergone substantial changes, most occurring in this section on interpretations. The reason for these changes was to include the writings of Paul that were written to the Body-of-Christ, 1Corinthians 12:27, which are his epistles from Romans through Philemon. By inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Paul revealed mysteries that were given him by Christ Jesus, Galatians 1:11-12, Ephesians 3:1-7. Including these mysteries to the content of this site, aids readers to be able to rightly divide the word of truth, 2Timothy 2:15. The Body-of-Christ consists of all believers in Jesus Christ, Jew and Gentile, 1Corinthians 12:13, 27, Galatians 3:28, who are under the ministry of Paul, 1Timothy 1:15-17, 1Corinthians 12:12-14.
Originally this site was devoted to the book of Revelation, but over the decades, the scope of this site expanded to cover end time-events. As we are in the last days, Hebrews 1:2, the promises revealed to Paul for the Body-of-Christ, provide a more complete picture of all God has made known to mankind, Deuteronomy 29:29. These are new promises in addition to what was revealed to Israel by the law, prophets, the psalms, Luke 24:44, and His 12 apostles, Luke 1:70, Acts 3:21.
Throughout the epistles of Paul, are promises to the Body-of-Christ that provide comfort, 1Thessalonians 4:13-18, knowledge of what God has revealed for what He has in store for those who love Him, Ephesians 1:11-12, and spiritual understanding of His will for us today in this dispensation of grace and for eternity, Colossians 1:9. These topics are now addressed in this section. Content in previous versions of this site were directly related to the book of Revelation and God’s prophetic program for Israel, remain in this new version, and have been updated.
