The statements made by the Jordanian FM Ayman Safadi are interesting. Your browser does not support the video tag. Consider this statement in Daniel. And he will confirm a covenant with many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of […]

"those who sleep"
Monday, September 30 2024.
When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd. “Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” Matt 9:23 and... After He had said this, He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.” His […]

The Firstfruits, Sheol, and His coming
Wednesday, September 25 2024.
In the New Testament Greek, the word translated to the English "firstfruit(s)" is aparché (translit.). It's a derivative of two other Greek words "apo" (separation) and "arché" (origin or starting point). It's used 8 times in our western New Testament canon. I'll list […]

Mercy
Tuesday, September 24 2024.
We might feel like the circumstances of a given situation warrant a demand for justice to fulfill all righteousness. When instead, what is really needed is some latitude, mercy, and compassion. […]

"Blessed are the dead... from this moment on"
Tuesday, September 10 2024.
And I heard a voice from heaven telling me to write, “Blessed are the dead—those who die in the Lord from this moment on.” Rev 14:13 This seems like an odd statement - "Blessed are the dead—those who die in the Lord from this moment on". What changes from that moment on? I believe the […]

Be careful how you build
Monday, September 9 2024.
Watching the events of the last few years has taught me that I need to be careful about allowing the wholesale influence of any one person, ministry, or para-church ministry into the affairs of my life. I also need to be aware of the influence of the "cheer-leading squad". Believe it or […]

Enoch and Elijah
Tuesday, September 3 2024.
The parables of the sower, the weeds, the mustard seed, and leaven (in Matt 13) all have something in common. I think much of the "church" has deviated in some pretty weird directions. Both Enoch and Elijah walked with God and then they were "taken". I don't think their being […]
Jude, Peter, and Enoch
Tuesday, September 3 2024.
I think most will recognize this quote from Jude. Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about them: “Behold, the Lord is coming with myriads of His holy ones to execute judgment on everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of every ungodly act of wickedness and every harsh […]

Look at the nations and observe
Monday, September 2 2024.
When the prophet Habakkuk brought his "burdens" (concerns) to the Lord, God said: “Look at the nations and observe— be utterly astounded! For I am doing a work in your days that you would never believe even if someone told you... Hab 1:5 And then God laid out the details for […]
