I know the things that come into your mind

“Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD’s house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people. Then said he unto me, Son of man, THESE ARE THE MEN that devise mischief, AND GIVE WICKED COUNSEL IN THIS CITY: which say, It is not near: let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh. Therefore PROPHESY AGAINST THEM, prophesy, O son … Continue reading I know the things that come into your mind

The Unglorious Result

After reading chapter one of Ezekiel and making some cross references in my personal bible study notes in Acts 7:56, Matthew 17:9 and 2 Peter 1:16-21. I couldn’t help but to raise both of my hands and arms unto Jesus my amazing Savior! After some mind blowing contemplation I thought I would GROK Ezekiel 1:26-28 and edited it a bit for fun. This is the most unglorious result. “And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness … Continue reading The Unglorious Result

Via wikipedia: “There is a general consensus that Philippians consists of authentically Pauline material, and that the epistle is a composite of multiple letter fragments from Paul to the church in Philippi. These letters could have been written from Ephesus in 52–55 AD or Caesarea Maritima in 57–59, but the most likely city of provenance is Rome, around 62 AD, or about 10 years after Paul’s first visit to Philippi.” “Regardless of the literary unity of the letter, scholars agree that the material that was compiled into the Epistle to the Philippians was originally composed in Koine Greek, sometime during … Continue reading

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
