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…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…12/1/2022…The Harvest Fields are Ripe!”
Today’s Mideast Update will be a short one but Pastor R has asked special prayer for the HOB missionaries, particularly in the northern areas up against the Turkish border. Many of you may not be aware but Turkey’s President Erdogan has indicated his intent to begin the ground phase of Operation Claw-Sword. He wants to clear the southern borders of […]
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…10/27/2022…”Through the Wilderness to the Promised Land”
Just before the actual Update for this week, I’d like to share a few thoughts in introduction: All one needs to do to realize our world is facing a convergence of multiple crises like never before in man’s history is to open our eyes. Many in the West would rather close their eyes to what’s happening all over the […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….10/10/2022….”Through the Wilderness”
One of my many favorite passages of Scripture is found in Hebrews 10:23: 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….10/3/2022….”A Priceless Treasure”
I have had the opportunity to speak with Pastor R several times in the last few days. He told me about a new challenge being faced in Syria; cholera. To be clear, cholera has been faced before in the Mideast, and the House of Blessing missionaries have had to deal with its effects before. This however is the first time […]
