For today’s Mideast Update, I start with a passage of Scripture found in the short book of Jude, and I would like to offer for your reading in the Amplified version today: “But you, beloved, build yourselves up (founded) on your most holy faith–make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher–praying in the Holy Spirit; Guard and keep yourselves […]
How To Walk In Intimacy With God, Part 8
In the first seven parts of this series, we have looked at a number of things that should be part of our individual walk with God–if our hope and desire is to have intimacy with Him. Praise, worship, thanksgiving, and prayer are often integrated with each other. Music is one of the pathways God has designed for each one of […]
MIDDLE EAST UPDATE, May 14, 2014 by Jake Geier
My Middle East update this week covers a bit over one week. Much has happened in the last month, and the events keep unfolding rapidly. I received another call last Friday letting me know that Pastor R**** is still alive, and I purposely underline the fact! The last attack on his person was perpetrated by three men who viciously attacked […]
WHO Is The BRIDE OF CHRIST? Part 3
The Old Testament Scriptures bring up something else that is foreign to many, but is definitely a factor in God’s relationship with mankind. The Old Testament speaks quite often of the “adultery” of Israel. He not only speaks of the adultery, but also says that, He, God, is “married” to Israel! Let’s look at a few Scriptures to show this. […]
WHO Is The BRIDE OF CHRIST? Part 2
Even though the traditional Jewish wedding has been discussed in other articles, and we explained the basic steps up above, it is important to dig a bit deeper and include some of the traditions of the Jewish wedding which have been practiced for thousands of years. There is some variance in traditions at Jesus’ time in history but basic facts […]
WHO Is The BRIDE OF CHRIST? Part 1
The identity of the Bride of Christ has been the subject of much debate. My purpose in this article is to bring up some Scriptures and leave it to you to come to your own conclusions. I believe the answer is not as difficult as many make it, but then you, the reader, may find some of the thoughts I […]
MIDDLE EAST UPDATE: May 5, 2014
My Middle East update today will not be a long one but there are many that have asked the latest I’ve learned. I received a phone call early Friday morning from Pastor R**** and he gave me his status. As of his call he was still in the hospital due to a persistent high temperature and his heart needing to […]
Middle East Update, 4/30/2014
The last few days have seemed like a whirlwind on this side of the world while I was receiving phone call after phone call from Syria. Things were happening so fast that I could only get the latest news out via e-mail. So, for those who are not on my e-mail list, I will try and give you a quick […]
“SUDDENLY!” Part 6 (Apocalyptic White Horse Rider, continued)
It may seem that I am spending an inordinate amount of time on the first of the Apocalyptic Horse Riders. I am spending more writing time on this than originally intended, but for all I know, this may be the last chance I have to address the subject of this Rider in this setting. Things are moving so quickly now […]
Mideast Update, 4/22/2014
After not receiving a call from Pastor R**** of the House Of Blessing, Jerusalem, for over two weeks, I was quite happy to receive not one call, but two: on Good Friday and then another on Easter Sunday. I had learned that there had been an attempt on Pastor R****’s life, but didn’t have any details other than that he […]
