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 […]
“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 […]
“FOR UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN”
“To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins.” Acts 10:43 The true story of why we celebrate Christmas has to do with the coming of the only-begotten Son of God into the world by taking on a human body in order to redeem the fallen human race. We call […]
