Defending the Bible For salvation, Man must understand the purpose and power of the Bible. But how do we explain our faith? If we only rely on our personal experience to explain our faith, we are no different than any other religious mystic.

- Can the Bible be trusted or has it been corrupted over time?

- How do we defend the Bible as the inerrant Word of God? - What does the Bible reveal about God and us?

Ron Matsen President, Koinonia House

DEAR FRIENDS

A

s another turbulent year comes to a close, we bring focus back to what is important... God’s word, His promises, and our trust in Him.

Chuck explores one of the letters to the seven churches mentioned in Revelation, Laodicea. Although the church at Laodicea was, in fact, a literal church at that time, Laodicea also seems to broadly describe the state of the modern-day church.

Jesus is not already inside the church of the Laodiceans. He’s standing outside, knocking on the door, waiting to be let in. They need to open the door so He can join them. It’s certain that He was once a part of their congregation, but over the years, they must have shut Him out - as they chose instead to be ruled by the opinions of the people.

Jesus offers hope to the Laodiceans. Jesus doesn’t hate the Laodiceans, He loves them, and that’s why He’s sending them this letter to rebuke them.

Chris Corlett gives us a timely reminder to get equipped for the times ahead.

May you continue to trust in the Hope that is in Christ Jesus.

In His Service, Ron Matsen, President, Koinonia House

luxuriously on the banks of the river Lycus, a tributary of the Meander.

Laodicea didn’t have a good location for military defense, so it survived by compromise. It was an old city, dating to 2000 B.C. Its name was changed from Diospolis to Rhoas by the Lydians, and when Antiochus II captured and rebuilt the town in 250 B.C., he named it after his wife Laodice.

Laodicea was a successful commercial and financial center in central Asia Minor, and the remains of its theater, aqueducts, baths, gymnasium and stadium all testify to the wealth it enjoyed in its heyday. According to the Roman historian Tacitus, Laodicea was able to restore itself after a major earthquake without aid from Rome.1 Cicero held court in Laodicea and did his banking there. Laodicea was known for producing textiles made from high quality black wool and for its famous school of medicine which produced a particular eye salve called “collyrium.”

Laodicea on the Lycus Ancient City in Denizli City, Turkey.

Six miles east of Laodicea stood the city of Hierapolis, which was renowned for its hot springs. Though Laodicea was built on the Lycus, it depended on water piped in from nearby cities Hierapolis and Colossae.

The hot springs water from Hierapolis had cooled to a tepid temperature 1 Tacitus (A.D. 109). Annals 14:27 VOLUME 35 | ISSUE 12 |

by the time it reached Laodicea, and the cold water from Colossae had warmed to a tepid temperature as it traveled through the aqueduct in the sun, so Laodicea was a city that truly understood lukewarm water.

The church of Laodicea was likely founded by Paul’s friend and coworker Epaphras, who also ministered to the people of Colossae.2 Colossians 2:1 indicates that neither Colossae nor Laodicea were visited by Paul himself, although he certainly joined Epaphras in his zealous prayers for Colossae and Laodicea and Hierapolis. 3 Paul also wrote Laodicea an epistle, which the people of Colossae were instructed to read, even as the people of Laodicea were to read Paul’s epistle to the Colossians.4 Thirty years before Revelation, Paul warned Archippus in Colossians 4:17 to be diligent in the work of the ministry that God had given him to do. There is a tradition that Archippus became the bishop of Laodicea. It may have been his weakness which contributed to the poor spiritual condition of the church there.

Christ’s Letter to Laodicea And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

Revelation 3:14

He is the Amen, the solid and trustworthy One, perfect and perfected, faithful and true.

The phrase “beginning of the creation of God” can be confusing terminology, as though Christ is merely a created being. That’s clearly not His intention, because we know from several verses that Jesus was in the beginning with God the Father and that the worlds were created through Him.5 When Paul uses the same kind of terminology in Colossians 1:1516, he refers to Christ as “…the firstborn of every creature,” in one breath while declaring in the next, “For by him were all things created…” We need to understand that the word translated “beginning” is arche from which we get words like archangel and archenemy. It means “highest” 2 3 4 5

Colossians 1:7 - Philemon 1:23 confirms that Epaphras had also become Paul’s fellow prisoner.

or “chief ” or “ruler.” Jesus is the chief or ruler of the creation of God. His role as the firstborn also places Him in the highest position. He’s the one with the authority.

I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Revelation 3:15-16

The Laodiceans were tepid, just like their water. It’s natural to enjoy a drink of chilled water, especially on a hot day. These days we have the convenience of water sanitation and freezers full of ice, but in the ancient days, cold water meant safe water. Icy water from a deep well meant water more likely to be clean and safe to drink. The warm water in Laodicea had traveled through aqueducts, but in that day warm water often meant standing water that had the opportunity to bear bacterial cultures and amoebas and insect larvae. Hot water is good and cold water is good, but lukewarm water at just the right temperature can be used to induce vomiting.

Jesus does not want us lukewarm. He does not want us half-hearted about our faith or our walk with Him. If we’re spiritually cold, there’s a remedy. If we’re spiritually hot, then praise God. However, if we’re lukewarm, then we think we’re all right, but we’re really in a bad place.

When sharp evangelists go onto college campuses, they work to convert the radicals first. Why? Because when radicals come to recognize who Jesus really is, then they fire up the whole campus. Closet nerds need to be saved too, but the passionate radical will quickly reach more people than the shy souls who hide in their rooms. We should all be full of the fire of God, passionate about loving this world in Christ’s name.

Laodicea was named after the wife of Syria’s Antiochus II, but the name has a meaning of its own: “rule of the people.” In other words, this particular church is not looking to Jesus Christ as its leader. It’s ruled by popular opinion. This is the user friendly church that compromised to please the culture.

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

Revelation 3:17

The church in Laodicea thought they were doing okay, because they had money. They were wealthy, and we humans easily make the mistake of assuming that having money means having the blessing of God on our lives. Al Capone had money too, remember. The Pharisees and Sadducees had money. It’s great that certain churches are wealthy and able to develop a wide range of church programs. That’s great. But, money doesn’t represent God’s stamp of approval. The church of Laodicea felt at ease because they had their physical needs met, not realizing that they were spiritually wretched. They weren’t dead like the church of Sardis, but they were doing badly enough.

Every one of the seven churches had a surprising report card, but probably none greater than the Laodiceans. They thought they had it made. They were the social church, and their membership included all the top executives of the community. Senators and congressmen attended. The heads of corporations provided large tax deductible donations. They didn’t understand that Jesus looked at them through a completely different lens.

I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

Revelation 3:18

Jesus offers hope to the Laodiceans. It’s not over. They have a chance to fix this thing. It’s interesting that Jesus consistently uses metaphors that these churches understand. The Laodiceans knew all about gold and rich raiment and eye salve. These were strengths they had; textile manufacture and banking made the city prosperous. Their doctors had developed a renowned eye ointment. Jesus contrasts their versions with His own, however. They specialized in black woolens, and Jesus offers them pure white spiritual raiment. They produced ointment, but He 10 | VOLUME 35 | ISSUE 12

offers them something better than physical sight - He offers the ability to see the truth.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Revelation 3:19-20

Jesus doesn’t hate the Laodiceans. He loves them, and that’s why He’s sending them this letter to rebuke them. He’s giving them a chance to change before it’s too late. After His rebuke, He gives them this beautiful picture. He’s standing at the door and knocking! He’s not hiding from them or driving them like cattle. He offers them this kind and personal promise. If they just open the door to Him, He will come in and enjoy a meal with them. For a lukewarm church, that’s a warm and intimate offer from the King of Creation.

Notice something, however. Jesus is not already inside the church of the Laodiceans. He’s standing outside, knocking on the door, waiting to be let in. They need to open the door so that He can join them. It’s certain that He was once a part of their congregation, but over the years they must have shut Him out - as they chose instead to be ruled by the opinions of the people.

To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Revelation 3:21-22

We have a great High Priest who passed through the heavens and dwelt with us, taking on the form of a human and living life here with us.

He was tempted in all ways just as we are, yet without sin. This gives us great freedom to fall boldly at His throne to seek help in times of need, because He understands exactly what we’re going through.6 He knows.

He’s been there Himself. He overcame, and that’s the greatest news of eternity. Jesus Christ overcame. He conquered!

6 Hebrews 4:14-16

COVER • CONTENTS • ORDER Personal UPDATE | DECEMBER 2023

As we read through these promises to the overcomer, we remember how it is we overcome. We are overcomers through His victory - and His victory in our lives.

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Revelation 12:11

There is an inscription on a cathedral in Lubeck, Germany that I’d like to present here. As we read these letters, we remember that they are written to churches that existed nearly two millennia ago, but they apply to every one of us. We can agree the churches are historical and we can see their prophetic links to churches of the Church Age, but these churches also represent us personally.

• Thus speaketh Christ our Lord to us: • Ye call Me Master and obey Me not.

• Ye call Me Light and see Me not.

• Ye call Me Way and walk Me not.

• Ye call Me Life and choose Me not.

• Ye call Me Wise and follow Me not.

• Ye call Me Fair and love Me not.

• Ye call Me Rich and ask Me not.

• Ye call Me Eternal and seek Me not.

• Ye call Me Noble and serve Me not.

• Ye call Me Gracious and trust Me not.

• Ye call Me Might and honor Me not.

• Ye call Me Just and fear Me not.

• If I condemn you, blame Me not.

That gets the point across.

Sin in our Times We believe in liberty in our culture, but it’s gotten out of control. There’s a point at which we need to agree with God, “No. That’s wrong. We don’t do that.” The world will do what the world does. However, in our churches do we let the culture tell us what to think, or do we follow the Word of God? Sin is an uncomfortable subject in our times. Our culture no longer believes in sin. Yet, without a recognition of our own personal failure, a recognition that we deserve to be punished, there’s no reason for us to seek a Savior. Jesus did not come to condemn us, but to save us. However, without the conviction of our sin, we have no understanding that we need to be saved. We think we can get to Heaven by being “good,” and we don’t think anybody really goes to Hell - except maybe Hitler and Stalin. We fail to recognize that we are all lost, every one of us, until Jesus Christ’s blood washes us clean.

One of the questions we might want to ask is whether our churches have fallen into a worldly mentality toward sin. Do our churches recognize the world is filled with lost people destined for Hell without Jesus Christ?

Do our churches offer us salvation through Jesus Christ alone - the good news that God loves us and sent Christ to die for us? We need to speak the truth in love, or people will die with no appreciation for their true predicament. We cannot preach the user friendly message of “You’re okay. I’m okay.” We need to say, “Hey! We’re all in trouble! The earth is falling out from under us and we’re all going to die! But good news! God has made a bridge to the other side of the canyon! Take it!”

We are a lukewarm culture, and for too long we’ve allowed the world to tell us what to think. We need to be fire-hot Christians, filled with true, longsuffering and devoted love for our fellow humans. If we open ourselves to the guidance of His Word and His love through His Spirit, I think we’ll be astounded where the Lord takes us.

AVAILABLE from our online store: store.khouse.org The Book of Acts covers about 30 years: Chapters 2 and 3 of the Book of Revelation cover the next 2,000.

This study will explore the seven letters by Jesus Christ to actual historical churches and the church ages they represent. These letters describe, with amazing precision, the unfolding of all church history in advance. This chronicle fills the gap between the 69th and 70th Week of Daniel.

We will also find many insightful personal applications as we apply each letter to ourselves.

Four Levels of Application: • Local: actual, historic churches with validated needs, and so on.

• Admonitory: "Hear what the Spirit says to the churches." Applies to all churches throughout history.

• Homiletic: personal. "He that hath an ear let him hear..." each letter applies to each of us.

• Prophetic: These letters describe, with amazing precision, the unfolding of all church history. In any other order, this would not be true.

Dr. Chuck Missler, explores the background, and myths, surrounding our favorite holiday.

What really happened in Bethlehem two thousand years ago?

Who were the "Magi?"

Why a virgin birth?

What does a Christmas Tree have to do with it?

Each year at Christmas we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

After the New Year, we struggle to remember to add a year as we date our checks, which should remind us that the entire Western World reckons its calendar from the birth of the One who changed the world more than any other before or since.

It is disturbing to discover that much of what we have been taught about the Christmas season seems to be more tradition than truth. Santa Claus isn't the only myth or legend that has arisen out of this season.

On what "loophole" does the Messianic hope rest?

TIME TO EQUIP OURSELVES

efore sitting down to write this article, I checked on social media to find out what was on my friends’ minds. One faithful friend of Koinonia House – TL from Brazil – posted just four words: “Time to Equip Ourselves.” Thank you TL. This phrase is the timely title for this article and the focus of its message. The month of December will be filled with messages about the birth of Jesus, traditions of decorating, baking, and wrapping, favorite carols dusted off from their eleven-month hibernation, and so much more. For many of us, family gatherings include (along with all the festivity and fun) the rehashing of debates over matters political and theological. My ambition for this article for you, Gracious Reader, is to provide you with some new material – short soundbites – that you can include in these conversations. Think of each of these as seasoning – salt and pepper – to change the flavor of the discussion.

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

Matthew 5:13

Preach the word! Be ready in (the Christmas) season and out of (the Christmas) season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

2 Timothy 4:2

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.

So in no particular order, the following paragraphs contain conversation starters and straightforward topics that prepare us during this “time to equip ourselves” to share our faith this month and throughout 2024.

PROPHECY – Familiar to all who have listened regularly to Chuck’s teachings is the statement (or words like it) that “The Old Testament contains over 300 prophecies concerning the birth, life, death and resurrection of JESUS CHRIST.”1 A significantly greater number of Bible passages foretell details of His second coming.

If God went to such great lengths for Messiah’s first coming, what should we expect for the second coming? The return of Christ to rule the planet Earth has over 1,800 references in the Old Testament.

Seventeen books give prominence to the event in the Old Testament.

There are 318 references to this in the New Testament, and they are found in 216 chapters. That means twenty-three of the twentyseven books give prominence to this event. For every prophecy of Christ’s first coming that we’ve detailed, there are eight of His second coming.2 During December I often refer to the following prophecy: “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.”

Micah 5:2

Written over 700 years before JESUS was born in Bethlehem, the fulfillment of the prophecy is undisputed. It is familiar to all who know the carol O Little Town of Bethlehem. The Dead Sea Scroll 4Q81 and the Septuagint both contain Micah 5.3 You can read about the manger square and see a picture of it as well.4 This prophecy is well-known and 1 2 3 4

SIR WILLIAM MITCHELL RAMSAY – Born in the mid-1800s, Ramsay became famous as a British archaeologist and New Testament scholar. He was particularly interested in refuting (though ultimately confirming) the veracity and accuracy of Luke’s writing – the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. He travelled to Asia Minor as a skeptic, and he returned to his home as a believer!

“I may fairly claim to have entered on this investigation without any prejudice in favour of the conclusion which I shall now attempt to justify to the reader. On the contrary, I began with a mind unfavourable to it for the ingenuity and apparent completeness of the Tubingen theory had at one time quite convinced me. It did not lie then in my line of life to investigate the subject minutely but more recently I found myself often brought in contact with the book of Acts as an authority for the topography antiquities and society of Asia Minor. It was gradually borne in upon me that in various details the narrative showed marvellous truth.”5 5

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:14

SIR ROBERT ANDERSON – Chuck relies on the book authored by Sir Robert Anderson The Coming Prince, in his calculation of the seventy weeks of Daniel prophecy.6 Anderson served Scotland Yard from 1888 to 1901 during which Jack the Ripper became infamous.

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) was then just starting the investigation into the Jack the Ripper murders, which he thought were grossly over-sensationalized. Almost immediately after being promoted, Anderson went on vacation in Switzerland on doctor’s orders, leaving the Metropolitan Police leaderless during the biggest challenge in its history. He was called back after a month because of increased bad publicity over the Ripper murders.7 I suspect he prefers to be remembered for his definitive research and defense of his thesis regarding the Daniel prophecy. And his take on the issue of “faith” might be useful in upcoming conversations: Faith is not the normal attitude of the human mind towards things Divine, the earnest doubter, therefore, is entitled to respect and sympathy. But what judgment shall be meted out to those who delight to proclaim themselves doubters, while claiming to be ministers of a religion of which FAITH is the essential characteristic?8 Introduce your family to these two influential scholars from the mid1800s through the early 1900s.

A PERSONAL TESTIMONY – In the summer of 2010, I spent nine days in hospital fighting an undiagnosed virus. During this time, I lost nearly two stone (28 pounds) and left hospital weary and wimpy. Only a few days later, I returned to the same hospital after suffering a stroke – an infarction of the cerebellum. I spent another four days in hospital, and when I left, I could not stand without a walker. While I was alert and awake, I sang over and over this familiar chorus. Do you know it?

In late August, my family travelled to the annual New York State Fair, and I told everybody I saw about God’s mercy and might for me and my family. We need to proclaim the mighty works of God in our lives. This is a great way to “change the subject” from the contentious to the Creator! What is your story of God’s goodness? Let’s move past “God is good … all the time.

All the time … God is good.” Let’s tell of His goodness!

Praise the Lord! I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright and in the congregation. The works of the Lord are great, studied by all who have pleasure in them. His work is honorable and glorious, and His righteousness endures forever.

He has made His wonderful works to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.

Psalm 111:1-4

I love sharing this testimony. In fact, I regularly handwash the dishes, and whenever I do, I do so as a praise and thanksgiving to God for His wonderful work in my life. After the stroke, I could not stand securely enough to wash the dishes.

CONCLUSION – These are but a few of the tools in my toolbox to turn the conversation toward the REASON FOR THE SEASON. You will hear the cry to “Keep Christ in Christmas.” These are practical tips for doing just that.

And I hope this article has brought to your mind many more of your favorite vignettes. You might want to get a copy of Hidden Treasures, which is available from the Koinonia House store.9 My wife and I throughout the years have gifted these to church members and family and friends!

Let me know if I succeeded in using this TIME TO EQUIP OURSELVES. Let me know your favorite topic or testimony. As always, the author welcomes your emails to chrisc@khouse.org. MERRY CHRISTMAS! 9

2024 TOURS! April 7-18, & Oct 27-Nov 7, 2024 About These Tours Experience Israel with expert insights from our guides and teachers: Bob Cornuke, Ido Garfinkel and Ron Matsen. After each full day, you can enjoy great food and excellent hotels.

We know that, for many, this is the trip of a lifetime, so we work hard to give you the best possible tour. We use the authority of the Bible, honest discussion about the sites we visit, and all the support we can provide to help you along the way.

This BASE Tour is distinctive because it offers: • More experts on the Bible, archaeology, and history than any other tours we know • More authentic sites, rather than traditional ones • More discussions of controversies concerning the Land and the Bible, such as how the Bible is used by archaeologists, dating methods, and the theories about the location of the Second Temple, Golgotha, etc.

MORE INFORMATION

APRIL TOUR EXPANSION: THE LAST DAYS OF THE EXODUS March 31 - April 7, 2024 (A week before the Israel Tour begins.)

Travel through Jordan to see sites related to the Exodus as well as Petra, a jeep tour of Wadi Rum, a day on the Gulf of Aqaba, and much more.

K-HOUSE STATEMENT OF FAITH The Bible is the very Word of God, is inerrant in its original autographs, and is fully and totally and uniquely reliable as the primary guide to all actions and commitments; That Jesus Christ is God Incarnate, became man to fulfill a destiny on our behalf, was crucified, buried, and bodily resurrected, is presently seated on His Father’s Throne, and will soon return to establish His Kingdom on the Planet Earth.

That, in the meantime, the Holy Spirit is uniquely active in pursuing His mission in calling, equipping, and empowering believers, and is essential for any and all of the pursuits to be fruitful and effective.

KOINONIA… …is a New Testament word which is most often translated to mean “communication,” “fellowship,” or “communion.”

Koinonia House, or K-House as we are affectionately called, is dedicated to the development and distribution of materials for encouraging and facilitating serious study of the Bible as the inerrant Word of God. We are a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization.
