When you study the Bible in Hebrew, you keep running into wordplays, alliteration, and folk etymologies that almost never survive a straight English translation. In this teaching you will see the real choice translators face: keep the feel of the original, or keep the exact meaning and explain the play in a footnote. You will walk through Babel and balal, Isaiah’s alliteration, Jeremiah’s almond tree, and a modern version that tries to keep New Testament poetry rhyming. Compare a few translations and you will catch what one rendering has to leave on the table.

When Jesus said, "I never knew you," was He using a known Jewish formula of excommunication? Dr. Brown walks you through the passage, the Talmud's use of that phrase in Moed Katan 16a, a weaker parallel in Eruvin 53a, and Craig Keener's commentary, then shows why it can mean either "you were never truly Mine" or "you were Mine and I am cutting you off."

If believers are glorified when Jesus returns, how can there still be sin in the thousand-year kingdom? In this call, Dr. Brown walks you through Zechariah 14, 1 Corinthians 15, and Matthew 25, and explains why he sees survivors entering the Millennium in mortal bodies while glorified believers reign with Christ. You’ll hear why he rejects a past fulfillment of Zechariah 14, how Matthew 25 differs from the great white throne in Revelation 20, and why even a world filled with God’s glory can still end in rebellion. The point is not to win a debate about timing, but to live ready for the return of Jesus. Number to call is (704) 498-4680.
