My first phone call in 2019 from Pastor R in Syria was quite short but I was able to get a quick overview of the situation the House of Blessing missionaries are presently facing. As is with every winter, the missionaries who embed themselves within the refugee populations, go through the very difficult winter conditions along with the people they […]
AUTHOR and FINISHER…MESSIAH Part Three
As we left off in part two of this series, we were examining what the Apostle John saw in Revelation, chapter one. It is obvious that John saw the risen Messiah, but not at all as he remembered Him! He was not looking at the suffering Christ nailed to a Roman cross, and he was not seeing Jesus as He […]
ALL EYES ON ISRAEL…Part Eleven
As we continue to examine the details provided for us by the prophet Ezekiel concerning the Gog-Magog war, we will look closer at a couple of interesting references made to national entities directly in opposition to Gog’s aggression. One of these is found in Ezekiel 38:13 and a second in Ezekiel 39:6: Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all […]
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 […]
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 […]
WHERE IS THE URGENCY??
Three or four years ago, I watched an interview with Pastor John Kilpatrick, as well as a short YouTube video depicting what he felt God had spoken to him. Pastor Kilpatrick, who presently has a church in Alabama, was interviewed a number of times on various Christian television shows. Knowing quite well how many readers have one thing or another […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 1/6/2017
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints. Psalm 116:15 I received several phone calls this week from Pastor R, the third one giving me the tragic news that the three House of Blessing teachers who had recently been arrested by the Syrian government for preaching about Jesus Christ, have paid the ultimate price for […]
URGENT PRAYER NEED…MIDEAST UPDATE 12/30/2017
“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16 I received an urgent email from Jerusalem this morning and a few minutes later received a phone call from Pastor R in southern Syria. The email from Jerusalem contained some photos showing the reasons […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 12/11/2017
In light of the fact that readers have often expressed interest in how Bible prophecy ties in with current events today, and especially how it affects the work of the House of Blessing missionaries, I will interject some thoughts along that line with this update of HOB recent activities. In the past week, the world has witnessed a most amazing […]
