Question: How does the U.S election affect Christianity?

Question: I wanted to ask you about one other scripture: Hebrews 8:4 states: “For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law.” Would this verse not be a nail in the coffin of millennialists whether they be historical, pre, or…

by Franklin T. Puckett in The Preceptor, Vol. 1, No. 10, August 1952. Premillennialists tell us that God’s promise to give the land of Canaan to Abraham and his seed has never been fulfilled.
