“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:… Continue reading The Rapture

Woe to the Foolish Prophets
“Thus saith the Lord God; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!”Ezekiel 13:3 As did ancient Israel, the contemporary United States has a false prophet problem. Moat of them are found in the prosperity gospel (Joel Osteen and Kenneth Copeland) and New Apostolic Reformation (Bethel and Hillsong) camps.… Continue reading Woe to the Foolish Prophets
Equity Through Salvation
“Before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.”Psalms 98:9 This verse jumped out at me today because of the current political climate (of course, right?), but bear with me. One of the things the Left is calling for is equity. This… Continue reading Equity Through Salvation
Sons of God: Angels or Sethites
*Updated 2/16/2023 Apparently this is quite the interesting argument in Christian circles. When reading Genesis 6, the KJV says in verses 2-4: “That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not… Continue reading Sons of God: Angels or Sethites
Rightly Dividing the Word: The Psalms Multiple-Timeline Effect
Psalms really is an incredible book. There are passages that move seamlessly between references to ancient Israel under the reign of David to the millennial reign of Christ, full of references to the second advent and Antichrist. You can read the book literally as writings of David, his servants, and others that are talking… Continue reading Rightly Dividing the Word: The Psalms Multiple-Timeline Effect
Less “Reform”, More Revival
In the aftermath of last weekend’s Las Vegas massacre, Democrats came out almost immediately and called for new gun control regulations. Republicans came out and defended the Second Amendment, and back and forth we went. When a maniac in a Dodge Charger drove into a crowd in Charlottesville, we began fighting over what statues were… Continue reading Less “Reform”, More Revival
Notes on Deuteronomy 30-34
God wants us to hear, learn, and fear the LORD (Deut. 31:12-13). This order is repeated twice. We are to hear and learn the Word of God, then we are to fear Him. I believe this is because the more we learn of God, the more we cannot help but fear him. Unfortunately, our modern… Continue reading Notes on Deuteronomy 30-34
Notes on Deuteronomy 28-29
Chapter 27 ends with 12 curses for those who don’t listen to God’s commands. Chapter 28 begins with 8 blessings that come to those who “hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God” (verse 2). The “balance” is 12 negatives to 8 positives (so far). The “balance” goes even further off kilter (according to… Continue reading Notes on Deuteronomy 28-29
Notes on Deuteronomy 21-27
This passage gives us some clarity as to what marriage is in God’s eyes. While the debate over legalized same sex marriage still rages on, the Bible says nothing about marriage being recognized by the government as “one man, one woman.” God’s word says nothing about hospital visits or filing your taxes jointly. There’s nothing… Continue reading Notes on Deuteronomy 21-27
Notes on Deuteronomy 14-20
The Israelites are a “peculiar people” (Deut. 14:2), which is why it is silly for Christians and Americans today to think that all the laws of the Old Testament apply to us. It is why anti-Christians always want to point to the Pentateuch in order to lecture us on our hypocrisy. They are fools to… Continue reading Notes on Deuteronomy 14-20
