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 […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…12/12/2022…”In The Fullness of Time”
It seems every year goes by a bit faster than the one before. I am having a hard time getting my head around the fact that we are only days from the end of 2022. Amazing! But, here we are. One thing that gives us great hope is the fact that the Lord has brought us that much closer to […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….11/17/2022….”And They Realized They Had Been With Jesus!”
A passage of Scripture I have referred to on occasion is found in Acts 4 when Peter and John were arrested by the religious authorities. The passage below will connect directly to today’s House of Blessing Update and also to each one of us as believers and followers of Jesus Christ, our Messiah. 1 Now as they spoke to the […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…11/3/2022…”And These Signs Will Follow Those That Believe…”
As I begin today’s Update, I would like to draw your attention to a passage in Isaiah: 60 Arise, My people! Let your light shine for all the nations to see! For the glory of the Lord is streaming from you. 61 Darkness as black as night shall cover all the peoples of the earth, but the glory of the […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…9/1/2022…”When You See These Things Beginning, LOOK UP!”
Notice these words Jesus said to His disciples, including all of us who are His followers today: “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Matthew 16:33 There is a growing number of people everywhere realizing that […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 5/31/2017
I have been out of my office for a few days but want to pass on the most recent information that I have received in my last two conversations with Pastor R. The Islamic month of Ramadan is in full swing and the House of Blessing missionaries are strategically located around the Middle East. Just in the first few days […]
HEADED HOME!
For those that are not aware of it, my wife and I have been on an extended trip to the Middle East. Some, who have not been aware of our trip, have wondered at the lack of new articles being written. We will be back in our home State of Oregon in the United States late Tuesday evening, March […]
STORY FROM SYRIA, Mideast Update, Part 1 3/10/2017
The stories relayed from the HOB missionaries in Syria and Iraq oftentimes seem to be perfect application of the teachings of Jesus 2000 years ago. The faith of these missionaries is incredible and their trust in His faithfulness is unwavering. The story told here is one that can build our faith and our trust in Him. It applies the truth […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 10/27/2016
See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil; therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:15-17: I think many of us, as professing Christians, do not think enough about what the will of the Lord may be. We have very […]
