Strong faith of Habakkuk’s is a model for Christians today
Strong Faith: What does it look like? The prophet Habakkuk had strong faith. At least I should say, eventually, he did. And a portion of his journey of faith was modeled for us in three impactful chapters in the Bible. But his strong faith didn’t come easy. In fact, he undoubtedly spent many hours that…
The Book of Joel: A video summary of the Day of the Lord
Book of Joel: a video review and related articles. This post highlights the Book of Joel and features a short video created and presented by The Bible Project. The book is one of the minor prophets. Altogether, the minor prophets consist of twelve books. And because of that, they were once known as “The Book…
The War of Gog and Magog. The final chapter
The final chapter of this war leads to 1,000 years of peace. Ezekiel chapter thirty-nine isn’t the final chapter of the prophet’s book. There are several chapters after it. But in those chapters, the war of Gog and Magog has ended. There is a decidedly different tone in the last section of Ezekiel’s book. Once…
Herod’s Temple: Jesus said, not one stone left… true?
Jesus’ disciples marveled at the buildings of Herod’s temple. As the friends of Jesus walked through the courtyards of Herod’s Temple, they boasted of what they saw to the Lord. And in their boasts, they revealed a strong sense of national pride in the beautiful buildings. And there were very good reasons to be proud…
The Lord on the cross – Psalm 22: Bible predicted His agony
The Lord went to the cross just as the Bible predicted. The Lord knew his destiny. On at least a few occasions, he told them about his eventual death at the hands of his enemies. In Psalm twenty-two, we read a remarkable foretelling of the agony Jesus experienced on the cross. The words were penned…
Hell, is it real? In the Bible we read of this place
Is there a hell? If hell isn’t real it should be. I don’t want anyone to go there unless I hear a very good reason for it. Satan and his angelic horde have had their reservations set for centuries. And every day, they encourage others to join them. If hell is real, we learn every…
The ten Virgins-The Parable. Did you notice the delay?
Does the Parable of the Ten Virgins teach Imminence? Matthew chapter twenty-five begins with the parable of the ten virgins. I think many in the Church have misunderstood this parable, in at least one important point. This parable is often used to teach a lesson about readiness. And in turn, it is taught that Jesus…
A long Delay. In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus warned of such
Soon and very soon, we’re going to see the King–but first a delay. There will be a slight delay in the fulfillment of Bible prophecies. In the Olivet Discourse found in Matthew 24 and 25, Jesus gave very clear indications of a long delay before the prophecies would be fulfilled. That delay is especially clear…
The Millennial week and Bible Prophecy
What is the Millennial week? The Millennial week is a term used by Bible scholars that refers to a particular version of interpretation in regards to biblical prophecy. The Millennial week theory is seen as a preposterous idea by many of today’s scholars. Many, but not all, biblical and secular scholars look at the idea with…
God will redeem Israel as a people for himself Isaiah 43:1-7
The God of Israel set Israel aside, but He will redeem them. We often read the word redeem in the scriptures. What does the word mean? Christians, in many ways, live in their own bubble. We use words and phrases that only fit into our ‘church world.’ The words redeem or redemption are a good…
