The LORD shall be

“The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. A little one shall become a … Continue reading The LORD shall be

Shall He Be Great

tjbrown7

“Herod wanted to know “where the Messiah was to be born.” and Micah’s prophecy, given around seven centuries before this event, gave him the answer: “In Bethlehem in Judea.” Micah’s prophecy also predicted of the Messiah that “He would be great to the ends of the earth” (Micah 5:4 NASB). Who is known throughout the world more than Jesus Christ? At the very least, Jesus is one of the most famous persons in all of human history. There is no real reason that a poor Jewish man, born in a cave in Bethlehem, should have been known by anyone outside … Continue reading Shall He Be Great

Past finding out

Augustine 400 AD contemplating the God who “inhabiteth eternity”. “But if there was no time before heaven and earth, how, then, can it be asked, “What wast thou doing then?” For there was no “then” when there was no time.  Nor dost thou precede any given period of time by another period of time.

But “Thou art always the Selfsame … Continue reading Past finding out

No peace to the wicked
