Satan is the Destroyer but Christ is the Restorer

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.

The Purpose of Prophecy

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....

Understanding 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.

Reaping and Sowing, Daniel 1

What's was God's purpose in revealing through prophecy the rise and fall of earthly kingdoms? Are God's kingdom principles the same?

The Rise and Fall of Earthly Kingdoms, Daniel 2

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.

Interpreting Nebuchadnezzar's Dream, Daniel 2

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."

Self, the Greatest Battle Ever Fought, Daniel 3

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?

The Mystery of Iniquity- Self Worship, Daniel 3

The Final Showdown, Daniel 3

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 ...

The Humbling of the High and Mighty, Daniel 4

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.

The Prophetic Flow of History, Daniel 7

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.

The Daily & The Abomination of Desolation

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.

Hosea's Passionate Lover

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.

The Gospel According to the Laws of Marriage

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 Bible Must Be Allowed To Interpret Itself

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.

In The Beginning

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.

Will The Real God Please Stand Up!

What Is It — Imposed Punishment or the Inevitable Consequence of Sin?

God's Wrath.

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.

Hell At The Cross

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.

The Humbling of the High & Mighty, Daniel 4

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, an experience through which he finally discerned the merciful loving kindness of the Most High God and how He rules over the kingdoms of men. It was not always so.

Establishing the Time of the Judgment, Dan 7 Part 3

Prophecy reveals the controversy between the two governments, the government of God and the government of Satan. Satan’s main representative on earth is symbolized various ways in many passages of Scripture. For simplicity we will refer to him as antichrist. Historically, the antichrist has demonstrated the principles by which Satan rules his government, namely, self-exaltation and force. These attributes have been clearly revealed in his reign during the 1260 years of papal persecution. It is prophesied that the antichrist will again reign in terror, next time over the whole earth.

“But the judgment shall sit and they shall take away his dominion.” Dan 7:26

Does the Bible tell us when this judgment takes place?

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. Is man a god? Can man indeed save himself from sin and death? Do we need a Saviour? Can He be trusted to save us? Will this controversy end before we are convinced that

1) we cannot trust ourselves, and

2) we can trust God implicitly?

Understanding the Prophecies of Daniel & Revelation

Our thoughts are rarely original but emerge from the gathering and sharing of insights among those who love truth. I want to thank the many diligent scholars from whom I have mined deeper insights into the yet-unfolding prophecies of Daniel and Revelation.

The opening chapter of Revelation promises, “Blessed is he that readeth….and keepeth…” As we seek that blessing through an orientation to these great prophecies remember that “the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand: but the wise shall understand.” Dan 12:10 Are we prepared to join that angel that comes down from heaven, having great power, lightning the earth with his glory and giving the message, “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Rev 18:4

My very first impression?

When I saw your strange expression,

Wonder what’s wrong with this guy?

Guess I’ll be knowin by and by.

 

It was only a very small favor,

And wouldn’t require very much labor.

Are you able to tell me whether

My friends and I can camp together?

 

Once we settled and began to nest,

I soon began feeling like a pest.

First one need and then another,

Embarrassed to be such a bother.

 

Thought I had found a way to repay,

Offered to cut your hair that day.

But once again, your strange expression,

Left me with a pitiful impression.

To The One I Love

Reflecting on the years gone by

Oft comes to my mind, Dear Lord, why?

Who am I to have been so blest

By the one with whom my heart does rest.

 

Surely there must have been another

That proved to be a better lover.

Why among all the choices fine,

Would you choose such a one as I?

 

A flower broken, bruised, needing much

A tender soul with delicate touch!

One who would nurture, love and care

Causing this flower to bloom so fair!

 

One who forgives the pricks and stings

One who believes and hopes all things.

One who sees me in the bouquet

Offered to God that beautiful day.

A Prayer For You Dear Dwight

For the Lord may you be found living,

Unselfish love for others giving,

And thus by this many souls winning,

Loyal to the end.

 

Peace, joy, and cheer to others bringing,

Not just in joy but in grief still singing,

Thoughts of future bliss, trusting, dreaming,

Joyful to the end.

 

In the precious promises believing,

Emptied of self, the love of God revealing,

And thus the joy of Christ receiving,

Faithful to the end.

Twenty Years Later

Twenty years later

A little older

A little grayer

But still in love!

 

Been though thick and thin

I’m getting thicker

You’re getting thinner

But still in love!

 

Year by year they creep

Missing a few teeth

But YOUR smile’s still sweet

We’re still in love!

 

Years have flown tis true

My vows I’d make anew

Share the rest with you

I’m still in love!
