"I take no pleasure in the destruction of the wicked," "I will rejoice over you to destroy you." Which is it? "...God, which cannot lie," "the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth," "God shall send them strong delusion." Which is it? Such simple apparently contradictory statements can both be understood to be true when we follow the steps from cause to effect in light of the principal of lliberty by which God rules.
The purpose of prophecy is to prepare the bride for her Bridegroom. It reveals to us where Christ is at each step of His ministry and what He is currently doing to cleanse and purify His bride for the day when He comes to take her home. Itʼs the greatest love story ever told.
Daniel and Revelation reveal as no other the great controversy between Christ and antichrist, the battle between two kingdoms, and the principles by which they govern. No where else in the Bible does God as thoroughly reiterate the identification of two critical time periods than in Daniel and Revelation....
We will find, by examining the following Bible verses, examples of the biblical principle that effect follows cause, whether that effect is a direct outworking of natural laws, or follows the respectful concession of a God whose right to mercifully intervene has been rejected in favor of the intervention of another.
What's was God's purpose in revealing through prophecy the rise and fall of earthly kingdoms? Are God's kingdom principles the same?
As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.
This is the core issue of the great controversy. Whose principles will be found to be everlasting and able to sustain life, the principles of selfless love and liberty or self-exaltation and force? In other words, "Will the real God please stand up."
In this study we are going to closely examine the parallels between Nebuchadnezzarʼs image on the plains of Dura and the final decree enforcing worship, as revealed in Revelation. What does this have to do with us, our present lives and our eternal destiny?
In his converted state, Nebuchadnezzar, the author of Daniel chapter four, reflects back on the events that led to a most humbling experience when he found himself out in a pasture grazing with the animals ...
Prophecy reveals the play/counterplay in the great controversy between Christ and antichrist. Daniel and Revelation reveal as no other, the principles of the two kingdoms. It assures us of the victorious end. The things that were foretold and have come to pass assure us that the things that are yet unfolding will also come to pass.
Our purpose in this study is to focus on the character development that all must possess when Christ finishes His work interceding for us in the heavenly sanctuary. The controversy started in heaven with pride which led to self-trust, which is a lack of trust in God. In Eden we find Satan successfully used the same subtle temptations with Eve.
Do you believe in righteousness? Do you want to be righteous? Hosea teaches righteousness comes only by faith. Faith in what? We are going to explore Hosea in search of a faith that saves.
As God designed it, marriage sets in motion depths of motivation that surge in waves of joy. Each wants to please the other. Each feels an enthusiasm to do and to be what fulfills the other. If such surrendered devotion does not exist, the parties to marriage weary of acting the part, of trying to do what love would do apart from the motivating power of a genuine love.
Can the Bible be trusted? Does the Bible contradict itself? Is every word of the Bible inspired? Is there a difference between the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New? Will there be any new light? How can we know the truth? Are there principles of interpretation whereby we might rightly divide the Word of Truth?
The essence of this study reveals the key issue at the heart of the conflict between God and Satan. Which can be trusted? Which is telling the truth? Which one truly loves us? . . . Letʼs read of Adam and Eveʼs disobedience and how it came about. The story begins with Godʼs warning about the subtlety of the serpent, a subtlety commending more than just a superficial reading.
Who done it — Egypt’s Gods or Israel’s God? Who killed the firstborn of Egypt? How did the plagues come about? Who hardened Pharaohʼs heart? Who was the “destroyer?” On closer examination we will discover that things are not always as they appear.
What Is It — Imposed Punishment or the Inevitable Consequence of Sin?
Some people believe that Christ went to hell after He died. This would be true in the sense that hell is sometimes properly interpreted as the grave both in Hebrew and Greek, and Christ went to that grave. But hell has another biblically proper interpretation by which Christ went to hell before He died. In fact, when He gave up His spirit and died, it was a sweet release from the torment of that living hell.
In this study we begin by observing several manners of speech related to the flood which similarly, if taken at face value, leave the reader at best puzzled at God, and at worst leads them to reject Him as a loveless tyrant. We sympathize with those who look at the simple language and have difficulty concluding that it does not entirely mean what it says.

She’s a woman, a woman and a lady,
A lady and a lover, a lover and a friend.
She’s a teacher, gladly sharing what she’s learned,
Teaching joy in life is earned, by abiding in Christ’s love.
She…is more than delight; more than a tender embrace,
soft kiss in the night.
She is a lasting joy in my life…She paints a perfect picture of wife.
A picture of peace and understanding,
Gentle but demanding, of virtue in our lives.
Listen to She

Awakened by the great Creator
Adam knelt to praise his Maker
Viewed the world in sinless glory
Heard the angels tell the story.
Soon beheld the matchless grandeur
Towering bowers with flowering banners,
Loyal to efflorescent duty
In a world of endless beauty
He inquired:
“Lord, each creature has another
Two by two, they please each other
As I view this garden by-way
I find no one looking my way
Who could be my life companion
To explore these hills and canyons
And to train these vines and flowers
Into a home.”

In the still of the night
I awake to the sight
Of the moon’s silken light
On the brow … I adore.
As I gaze on your face
I reflect on the grace
Of the One you embrace
In your heart … as Lord.
As I browse through the years
Since my longings were stirred
By the One who endeared
Me to you,
In the still of the night
How I still find delight
In His gift by the light
Of the moon.

Come my dove, there’s a coy fragrance on the air
Near the gold-gilded glow of our roses there,
Year by year they’ve matured in Love’s garden fair
To bloom anew each Spring!
See their blush in the hush of the evening hours
How their deepening gold pales Youth’s passion flowers
Breath in deep, feel the sweep of God’s fragrant power
Come dream with me!
See how soon, we both shall fly away
With the true and faithful on that Day
Hallelujah, we must watch and pray
Draw close with me.

When others talk about him
I see it in your eyes
That longing look of love
You can’t disguise.
I sensed before we married
The deeper love you carried
In your heart –I knew
Your love for him was true
Yet knowing, still I said “I do.”
I’ve never seen you with him
Yet I know you’ll miss him
If I’m in the way
When he calls today.
Unseen he comes before me
I see that you adore the
Way he makes you feel.
I know he’s real
But he’s no ordinary man.

When you opened your hand and your fingers pressed
Into mine soft winds blew through.
When you opened your lips and that love confessed
How I thrilled to hear “I do!”
How I thrilled to hear “I do!”
When you closed your lips and pressed that love
Into mine with prayers imbued
In your open arms in love’s sweet embrace
I felt my worth anew.
I felt my worth anew.

You…You’re the only one
My joys had not begun
‘Till you said “I do.”
There, glowing as my bride
Vowing you’d confide
In all I’d do.
We felt our flames twofold
Merging… then implode
into One.
Now the years have proved our name’s
Not simply just the same…
As begun.
We are One.

How will it be with us my love when we’ve lived one thousand years
Then having passed our earthly tests both with selfless love ensured?
What will this marriage have become on sinless earth made new?
Oh can you tell me how this love unfolds that made me one with you?
How will it be with us my love when we’ve lived ten thousand years
And seen vast worlds now yet unknown still veiled from human tears
What will this marriage have become when countless friends endear
Our hearts in universal love, will we still be called “My Dear.”
How will it be with us my love when we’ve lived one million years
Communed with God and angel hosts, and explored endless spheres?
And will there be a place where we return to share alone
Our deepest thoughts and fondest words in our own eternal home?
