“And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.” – Isaiah 49:6 “When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in … Continue reading To another year

God forbid…

“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” – Paul 50-60 AD Galatians 6:14 The Bible and the majority of Scholars don’t always agree but it appears on the book of Galatians and 6 other Pauline Epistles they are in absolute agreement as far as being written by Paul and very very early on! “A majority of scholars agree that Galatians was written between the late 40s and early 50s, although some date the original composition to c. 50–60…..the … Continue reading God forbid…

For the Faith of the Gospel

“Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God. For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake, having the same conflict … Continue reading For the Faith of the Gospel

The God of Valentinus is Dead

Another gnostic god that bit the dust! There is a reason why the gods of Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, Sumeria, Akkadia, Greece, Rome, Marcion, Valentinus etc etc etc are dead and that Yahweh is still thriving in the name of Jesus as the God of Abraham continues to fulfill the age old prophecies: “When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.” Then Abram fell on his face, and God … Continue reading The God of Valentinus is Dead

The beauty of Israel

Lamentations 2:1 lamenting the fall of Jerusalem to Babylon 587 or 586 BC depending of the view of the scholar. Chapter 2 of Lamentations is written as an acrostic poem. This means that in the original Hebrew, each of the 22 verses begins with the next letter of the Hebrew alphabet, going in order from the first letter (aleph) to the last (tav). “Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: Her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; Her prophets also find no vision from the Lord.” … Continue reading The beauty of Israel

She remembereth not her last end

Lamentations 1:9 lamenting the fall of Jerusalem to Babylon 587 or 586 BC depending of the view of the scholar. Chapter 1 of Lamentations is written as an acrostic poem. This means that in the original Hebrew, each of the 22 verses begins with the next letter of the Hebrew alphabet, going in order from the first letter (aleph) to the last (tav). Reminded me of Psalms 73 (apparently a chiastic poem) where the Psalmist discoveres the answer to his dilemma in God’s house concerning the pain of evil men flourishing: “When I thought how to understand this, It was … Continue reading She remembereth not her last end

There must be hersies…

“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; BY REASON OF WHOM THE WAY OF TRUTH SHALL BE EVIL SPOKEN OF.” – 2 Peter 2:1–2 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth … Continue reading There must be hersies…
