Prophetic Yom YHWH, The Olivet Discourse, and Apostolic Hope of the Second Coming
Unanimous apostolic proclamation across the New Testament: Christ will return personally, visibly, and gloriously to terminate this present evil age and judge the world in righteousness ( Acts 1:11 , 1 Thess 4:16 , Rev 19:11-16 ). Speculative chronologies and date-setting are designated traditional-conjecture.
to reckon, account, devise, impute

Derivation: Primitive root.
idols, dung-pellets, contemptible images
Idols, blocky shapeless things, dung-pellets; disparaging term in Ezekiel for pagan idols defiling Israel and provoking divine wrath.
Derivation: From גָּלַל (H1556) to roll; related to dung.

Primary meaning: pious, godly, devout. Strong's: well-reverent, i.e. pious. Lexical nuances: pious, godly, devout : Ac 10:2 , 7 , II Pe 2:9 .†
Derivation: from G2095 (εὖ) and G4576 (σέβομαι);

Penal Substitution, Christus Victor, Recapitulation, and Sacrificial Expiation
The cross as a substitutionary, reconciling, and victorious sacrifice is biblical-primary ( Isa 53 , Mark 10:45 , Rom 3:24-26 , 2 Cor 5:21 ). Specific theoretical frameworks synthesizing these facets (Anselmian satisfaction, Penal Substitution, Christus Victor) represent internal theological development and debate.
Sola Fide, Forensic Righteousness, 4QMMT 'Works of the Law', and the New Perspective on Paul
Sola Fide is directly grounded in Genesis 15:6 , Habakkuk 2:4 , and the Pauline corpus ( Rom 3:21-28 , Rom 4 , Gal 2:16 ): God forensically declares the sinner righteous through faith in Jesus Christ . The debate between the Reformation forensic imputation model and the New Perspective on Paul is cataloged under scholarly-debate.
The Biblical Antinomy, Second Temple Philosophical Sects, and Monergism vs Synergism
Scripture uncompromisingly affirms both God's unconditional sovereign decree ( Eph 1:11 , Rom 9 ) and genuine human moral accountability ( Josh 24:15 , Ezek 18:32 ). Harmonizing this biblical tension represents the definitive theological debate between Monergism (Augustinian/Reformed) and Synergism (Cassian/Arminian/Molinist).

Chiliasm, Historic Premillennialism, Amillennialism, and Postmillennialism
The interpretation of the 1,000-year reign in Revelation 20:1-6 is one of the classic open debates in Christian theology, giving rise to Premillennialism (Historic and Dispensational), Amillennialism, and Postmillennialism. No single view commands universal consensus.
Psalms • Chapter 141 (10 verses)
Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
