Before sharing a brief update, I want to wish everyone a wonderful Resurrection Day on April 9. For 2,000 years, followers of Jesus Christ have taken this weekend every year to think through the momentous events when Jesus was crucified. As He was about to offer up His spirit into the hands of His Father, He said, “It is finished”, […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…3/30/2023…”Even The Very Old…!
In the last update, dated 3/23/2023, I shared the story of “The Dead Branch.” As is usually the case, the effects of God’s miracles and interventions continue after the initial miracle has happened. The story of Ayaet Rahmani’s challenge to Omar and what God did to meet his challenge, is spreading far and wide. Hundreds of people have already found […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…3/17/2021…Our GOD Never Leaves Us, Nor Forsakes Us
As I was recalling my last conversation with Pastor R, I thought back on the difficulties that our friend has gone through over the years. Snippets came to mind of stories about the first Omar, back in 2012 and 2013, when he took the first handful of Bibles over the border from Jordan into Iraq and subsequently started a House […]
Chronology of the Seals in Revelation 6…..Part Seven
As we prepare to discuss the details surrounding the opening of the Sixth Seal of Revelation 6 with an earthquake which the Bible foretells to be the most devastating quake in human history up to that point in time, it is important that a little groundwork be laid first. So far in our study of Seals 1-5, although there have […]
Chronology of the Seals in Revelation 6……Part Two
In Part One, I proposed a question: “To which time, era or age, do the Seal Judgments belong? Do they belong to the first half of the seven years of the Day of the Lord only? Or, could they belong to the period of time we know as the Church Age? There are really only these two options. Answering this […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….1/14/2023….”Trusting God In All Things”
Today’s update is more in the form of a prayer request and so won’t be long. I received a call from Pastor R and need to pass on the information he related to me. Many of us around the world have been experiencing uncommon weather patterns. It is common to have hot and cold weather in their seasons but something […]
Chronology of the Seals in Revelation 6……Part One
In this series of articles, I am going to approach a subject that has a considerable amount of controversy attached to it. This has to do with the 6th chapter of the Book of Revelation and the unfolding of the 6 Seals of Judgment. The traditional view, for the most part, has been that the Seal Judgements, the Trumpet Judgments, […]
“The Worthy One” — “The Lamb of GOD” Part Two
–Study of Revelation 4-5 Continued From Part One– –Part Two– Because of where this study is taking us in Revelation 4 and 5, three passages below in the New Testament will be of importance. These passages make an undeniable connection between the “suffering Messiah” and the “Son of Man” phrase. 24 “ For as the lightning that flashes out of […]
“The Worthy One” — “The Lamb of GOD”
In preparation for a detailed study of Revelation 6-7 which includes the 7 Seals of the Apocalypse, I have reformatted and brought back a study done in 2019 on Revelation 4-5. An accurate understanding of the Throne Room scene and its timing will help with a proper understanding of what the unfolding of the 7 Seals and details surrounding them […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….1/1/2023….”Onward and Upward!”
By now, most of us have had time to reflect on the year 2022 we just left behind. One of the thoughts that has repeatedly come to my own mind is the phrase “in the fullness of time.” We find this phrase in the Scriptures several times. In the New Kings James version of the Bible, we find those words […]
