Fourth Seal: Death and Hades—Revelation 6:7-8 7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” 8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse.

AUTHOR and FINISHER…MESSIAH….Part Ten

The Materialistic Worldly Church…. After taking note of what the Messiah had to say to the first six churches listed in Revelation 2-3, Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, and Philadelphia, we come to the very last letter to the churches, the Church of Laodicea. Each of these letters included instructions from the Messiah specific to the first century Church to […]

AUTHOR and FINISHER…MESSIAH… Part Nine

The Faithful Church Of the letters sent by Jesus to seven churches, only two received no criticism. The Church of Philadelphia was one of these. The name Philadelphia in the Greek means brotherly love or love of the brethren. The Church of Philadelphia has also been called The Missionary Church. There are many Scriptures about love. Let’s look at two […]

The Dead Church Studies of the letters to the churches in Revelation 2-3 are fascinating, but I find the letter to the Church of Sardis of particular interest.

When we read back over church history, it is noteworthy that it was not some great ecclesiastical, theological finesse that brought about the great revivals. Rather, it was plain and simple preaching about […]

ALL EYES ON ISRAEL Part Ten

There are those in our world who think that history, as it unfolds, is random. Others believe that history is cyclical and will eventually always come back to its starting point. Then there are others who aren’t convinced it has to be random or cyclical because history’s outcome can be determined by man. The Bible teaches us that mankind, regardless […]

ALL EYES ON ISRAEL Part Nine

One recurring theme throughout much of the Old Testament speaks of a time when Israel will no longer be able to profane the name of the Lord their GOD. One of these passages is found in Ezekiel 39:7-8: “So I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let them profane […]

MIDEAST UPDATE, 7/20/2015

The Muslim day of Ramadan ended Friday, the 17th of July this year. I received a phone call from Pastor R***** with glowing reports from the different areas that the House Of Blessing missionaries have been scattered during this year’s Ramadan.
