GOD'S MIRACLE OF THE NEW JERUSALEM
This recorded session of the International Biblical Apologetics Association features Boris Herman (Canada) presenting an in-depth study titled "God's Miracle of the New Jerusalem." Drawing from Revelation 20–22, as well as the writings of Isaiah and the Book of Hebrews, the speaker explores the structure of the New Jerusalem as the "city-temple," the judgment before the Great White Throne, and God's redemptive plan at the culmination of history. The presentation concludes with an invitation for listeners to examine the condition of their spiritual "lamps," repent, and turn to God.
PETER AND CORNELIUS: BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS (ACTS 10:9–27)
In this recorded online session, Gennady Korotkevich, M.Th., presents a Messianic exposition of Acts 10:9–27 entitled "Peter and Cornelius: Breaking Down Barriers." Examining both the Greek text and David Stern's Jewish New Testament, the speaker argues that Peter's vision of the sheet and the animals should be understood as a symbolic message proclaiming the spiritual equality of Jews and Gentiles within God's plan of salvation rather than as the abolition of the Torah's dietary laws. During the discussion that follows, participants—including Brother Boris—refer to the Book of Leviticus and the Book of Ezekiel while emphasizing the importance of careful biblical study and encouraging believers to remain faithful to the commandments of the God of Israel.
TORAH AND MESSIAH: GRACE WITHOUT LAWLESSNESS, JEWISH ROOTS WITHOUT LEGALISM
This video is a recording of an online meeting of the International Biblical Apologetics Association featuring a lecture-sermon by Abel Stankevich, B.A. in Theology and pastor of Beit Ha-Or (House of Light Church), Israel, entitled "Torah and Messiah: Grace Without Lawlessness, Jewish Roots Without Legalism." The speaker explains why God's Torah was never intended to be the means of salvation but instead served as a tutor leading people to Christ by exposing sin and revealing God's holiness, while salvation itself is received solely by grace through faith. He also discusses the New Covenant and the importance of understanding the Jewish context of Scripture without promoting an excessive Judaization of the Christian church. The session concludes with a discussion moderated by Gennady Korotkevich on the Lord's Supper, differences between evangelical theology and the doctrines of other Christian traditions, followed by a time of corporate prayer.
