Within the pages of author Doug Israel's new book "The Branch and End Time" (published by Archway Publishing), readers can find a fresh interpretation of God's true plan for Christians.
Discussing themes of creation, salvation and the rapture, Israel presents his interpretation of what he believes theologians have gotten wrong for many years - that God gave his only son, Jesus, to repay the sinful debts of humankind. In addition, Israel points out and explains six scriptures that he says reveal the time of the rapture, and points out and explains what he says is the catalyst necessary for the latter year pouring out of God's Spirit.
"God is logical, and his plan of salvation is logical," Israel says. "Theologians claim that the purpose of Jesus' death was to pay the penalty or debt of humankind's sins. If the purpose of Jesus' death was to pay the penalty or debt of humankind's sins, then God could no longer punish sin, Jesus having already taken that punishment ... It is the believer's spirit that is born again and unable to sin, due to being indwelt by Jesus' spirit. It is the believer's soul that is still capable of sin."
By re-examining the Old Testament and New Testament scriptures, the author draws new conclusions into why Jesus was sacrificed to fulfill God's plan for later Christians, as well as new information for Christians to reference as they practice their daily worship.
