I have heard the story of Joseph dozens of times in my life. The focus has always been on either Joseph being a type of Christ or as an example of how we never understand God’s plan. That when we think all is lost and our lives are worthless, God uses our suffering to bless… Continue reading Notes on Genesis 41-42

Notes on Genesis 38-40
Judah (the Messianic line) married a Canaanite woman (Hamitic) and had many sons. The firstborn, who married Tamar, was killed by God for being wicked.

The messy Messianic line is full… Continue reading Notes on Genesis 38-40
Notes on Genesis 32-34

Notes on Genesis 25-26
By the time we get to Genesis 25, we see our fourth set of brothers where one perpetuates the line of Christ, and the other is against Christ. Seth, Shem, Isaac, and Jacob are all in the Messianic line. Cain, Ham, Ishmael, and Esau are all "types" of Antichrist. Ham is the progenitor of North… Continue reading Notes on Genesis 25-26
The End Times pt. 1 (Are We There Yet?)
***UPDATE: 9/30/2019** The changes in society are stunning. Since I wrote this original article four years ago, the social fabric in this country has unraveled like nothing I have ever experienced. The political rhetoric has deteriorated, the rise of the LGBT movement has been meteoric, and our social institutions have never been less trusted. It… Continue reading The End Times pt. 1 (Are We There Yet?)
