As we continue our study, we look at the vision that the Apostle John had of the risen Messiah, and his reactions to what he saw and experienced. The passage is found in Revelation 1:9-20 9 I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called […]
AUTHOR and FINISHER…MESSIAH Part One
This multiple-part study, which will for the most part reference the Book of Revelation, will cover what it is that Messiah/Yeshua has done as the Author and Finisher of our Faith. Because this study primarily goes overseas to the underground Church in the Mideast and because Bibles are always in short supply, all of the Scriptures are printed out in […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 12/10/2018 The Last Lap!
I am amazed how the talk of the imminent return of the Messiah has increased dramatically, even in just the last couple weeks. The expectation is high and growing. At the same time, many are afraid to touch on the subject, and others hate to miss an opportunity to scoff. I do know what I am hearing in my […]
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 11/29/2018 “Messiah, our ONLY Hope”
There are several news reports coming out of the Middle East in the past week that have had a direct effect of the House of Blessing and its missionaries. I was able to ask Pastor R about these events a couple days ago when he called. One of the incidents was of a chemical attack just northwest of Aleppo, Syria. […]
ALL EYES ON ISRAEL Part Eight
Of all the “time of the end” wars we have discussed so far in this series of articles, the “War of Gog and Magog” is the better known. It is also called the “Ezekiel 38-39 War.” This huge conflict, like the other wars that Israel is about to face in our time, is not without controversy among Bible scholars. My […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 11/20/2018 “And The Miracles Multiply!”
The encounter with one of God’s angels that Pastor Farid had after having been left for dead from his injuries in a garbage dump is a story that brings encouragement and also great praise to our God. We find these words about angels in the Book of Hebrews: …Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those […]
One More Miracle…So Many More Souls! 11/19/2018
In the 7 years that we have been associated with House of Blessing, we have heard and shared many stories of miracles, seldom seen in the West, that have changed people by the grace of the One True God and Savior, Jesus Christ. While the greatest miracle is always a person’s changed heart in repentance leading to salvation, it is […]
ALL EYES ON ISRAEL Part Seven
As we continue our examination of Jeremiah 49:34-39, we focus initially on how God will “break the bow of Elam, the foremost of their might…” Before I continue, I do want to give credit to author Bill Salus whose research work I’ve turned to for a number of years. Although my views differ in just a few areas, his research […]
