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….3/23/2023….”Is Anything Too Hard For Our GOD?”
Most of us have read Bible accounts of the spectacular miracles performed by Old Testament prophets, and of course in the New Testament, at the hands of Jesus and the Apostles. For most folks, it is not so hard to believe that the Biblical miracles really happened, but it’s a bit more of a challenge for some of us to […]
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 […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….3/2/2023….”Feed My Sheep”
John 16:33: “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.” Until our KING of Kings takes the throne of our planet, people will continue to experience tragedies of many kinds. We live in a fallen world and […]
Chronology of the Seals in Revelation 6……Part Six
In this current series of writings, two previous articles described the events found in Revelation 4 and 5. These are crucial in understanding what happens directly after the Seals are opened in chapter 6. So far we have discussed the first four Seals in some detail with regard to the significance of each seal and the timing of the beginning […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…2/23/2023…”Jesus Is The Resurrection And The Life”
As most know by this time, the death toll from the great February 6 quake is inching closer to 50,000 every day. The latest count I have been able to find is 47,244. That is a combined death count between Turkey and Syria. At least 164,000 buildings were destroyed. Many of the House of Blessing missionaries have joined those trying […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….2/16/2023….”Goin’ Home”
In light of world events lately, life and death are on the minds of many—especially with the latest catastrophic loss of life from the twin earthquakes just over the northern border of Syria in Turkey. The Bible has many things to say about life and death, especially for the true believer. One of these is found in 2 Corinthians 5:1-4: […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…2/9/2023…”The Lord Is Our Stronghold…No Matter What!”
It is hard to believe it has only been four days (at the time this update will post) since the massive earthquakes that devastated Turkey and Syria. The feared number of 20,000 deaths was surpassed some hours ago today, Thursday, February 9. Judging by the extensive devastation among such a large population, the number of dead is sure to climb […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….1/25/2023….”Just Passing Through”
The more we see the world situation deteriorate, the more we look forward to the return of our Messiah and King, Jesus! Those of us who are familiar with the things that Jesus told His disciples were coming in the future—particularly the convergence of events at the end of the age, are also familiar with Jesus’ statement, “When you see […]
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 […]
