Understanding Daniel and Revelation
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....
Reaping and Sowing, Daniel 1
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.
The Rise and Fall of Earthly Kingdoms, Daniel 2 Part 2
The vision of chapter 2 is the first vision in the book of Daniel, and it is of great significance. It can be likened to a skeleton with each succeeding vision adding on the flesh, layer after layer.
Self, the Greatest Battle Ever Fought, Daniel 3 Part 1
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."
The Mystery of Iniquity- Self Worship, Daniel 3 Part 2
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 Final Showdown, Daniel 3 Part 3
The literal story of King Nebuchadnezzarʼs setting up the golden image on the plains of Dura typifies the forthcoming final showdown . . .
What is the core issue? What principle of governance differentiates these kingdoms?
The Humbling of the High and 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 ...
Prophetic Flow of History, Daniel 7 Part 1
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 Bible Must Be Allowed To Interpret Itself
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?
Will The Real God Please Stand Up!
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.
Hell At The Cross
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.

What is forgiveness? Is it one-way or two-way, or does the word sometimes refer to one or the other of those? Can we tell from the context? For example, what did Jesus mean in Luke 17:3-4? Are there implied terms to forgiveness that determine by our response whether the relationship is restored?

1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh,…
Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
But why?

This study shares the discovery that Paul systematically gave the same Three Angels’ Messages given by Christ in Revelation! It goes beyond identifying the three purposes of those messages to detail the six recurring themes by which Paul validated those three purposes.

Clergy and laity alike have often stumbled over some of the writings of Paul the Apostle. Scattered among the letters which he addressed to the churches are a few verses that almost seem to contradict what he wrote in other epistles. At least they have been interpreted as contradictions. But did the great, spiritual, straight-thinking Paul write confusing things? Or is the contradiction only in the way readers have twisted his words?

It is reported that there are over 2500 prophecies of Christ’s second coming recorded in the Bible. It is referred to as the blessed hope. Christ promised that He would return to earth to gather His saints and take them to heaven. In His prophecy in Matthew 24, Christ warned four times of deceptions regarding His coming back to the earth.
From Christ’s warning regarding deceptive prophecies of His return, we can conclude two things. 1) There will be false teachings, 2) We do not have to be deceived. We know that the deception comes from the religious world because we are warned of false prophets and false christs. These false prophets will be prophesying false teachings regarding the second coming. We should be diligent to study the events of His coming that we shall not be among those that are deceived.

The Scriptures prophecy of a coming resurrection. Many are confused regarding the subject of death and the resurrection. What does the Bible teach regarding this most important subject? For the answer, let us examine the account of Lazarus found in the Gospel of John, chapter 11.
This story is about the death and resurrection of Lazarus, a close friend of Christ who was sick. Even though Lazarus was only two miles away when Christ received the word that he was sick, it was not until he was in the tomb for four days that Jesus showed up. Why did Christ wait to go to him? What lesson can we glean from this story?

Are we so profoundly in love with Love, as revealed by the Father, Christ and their Word, that we no longer manifest anything but the faith of Jesus, that unselfish love flows out from us always toward friend and enemy, kin and stranger alike as we follow Christ’s obedient, abiding example of unbroken communion with God? In our wilderness of temptation, in our weakest condition, will we also refuse to doubt who we are? Will we manifest the faith of Jesus in good times and hard times, passing through life’s darkest hour yet bearing our cross with faith, having been quickened by His Spirit of selfless love. Will we manifest the faith that saves “amply and fully and entirely” from the power of sin, that others might also look and live?

Hos 1:2 And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms:
Hos 1:3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim;
Why would God instruct Hosea to do such a thing? What better way for Hosea to prophecy to Israel of the pain that God was experiencing due to her unfaithfulness than to experience it himself first hand? He could then more effectively communicate to Israel God’s love for her and the impending doom should she not repent of her unfaithfulness.

Truth abhors force and shuns police protection. Her unveiled beauty flows gracefully only amidst forums where, borne of the same Spirit, her sister Liberty is well-received and honored. Truth speaks for herself. Would-be suitors helplessly learn she does not extend her delicate hand to the forceful or those who think to defend her with appeals to custom, history, tradition, pragmatics, or sound logic foundering on worldly assumptions.
Her honored and privileged guests selflessly seek the ennobling beauty of her unrivaled integrity and unassailable internal consistency. She remains aloof to those who seek her for any other purpose than to reproduce her loveliness in consecrated eternal union and service to the humble Prince of Truth who sacrificed His throne to assure her untainted reputation and surpassing beauty would endure forever. Seek Her and you will find Him.
