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.

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?

You have loved me
Really loved me
I’m convinced now
It’s true
Not for favors
Or earthly pleasures
God shares pure Love
Through you
Though you’d perish
I would cherish
Till I’d perish
This one truth
You once loved me
Oft thought of me
Held and hugged me
In your youth

When my life, soon departed, approaches its end
Oh what thought most deep-hearted at death will descend?
It will be you. All about you. You are the one I’ve loved life through.
Into the depths of dying prayer You will be there sweetening death’s air.
And I know just because you have loved me, loved me in mercy, faithful and true,
My thoughts will dwell on you.
But how will I tell you when sighing in death
That just knowing you’ve loved me enchants my last breath?
I’ll tell you now. I’ll sing it loud. I’ll stop the rain. I’ll part the clouds.
Trumpet my joy, angels divine. I lucky boy. Cindy is mine.
And I pray in our seasons of laughter, of sighing, crying and hugs
You’ll always feel my love.

I hear you call and know you need a hand.
I come to you to show myself the man
Who’s privileged to care for you, defend your dreams and cheer for you
Yet try not show my need to know
You’re needing me . . . You’re needing me.
I rub your back, your shoulders, neck and arms
Your moans and groans betray your trusting charms
And when your feet are tired & sore, One by one, I glad rub more
Yet try not show I love to know
You’re needing me . . . You’re needing me.
Just when we’re nestled down to sleep at last,
You softly share — your thirst forgot its glass
I rise and turn the lights back on, & soon return, your brave Don Juan
Yet try not show, ’tis joy to know
You’re needing me . . . You’re needing me.

I Am the One of whom wrote holy men of old
The ancient record of a time by angels told,
When flowers flowed as rivers through a garden fair
All nature sang its perfect praises on the air.
It was your bridal suite according to the plan
I and My Father had so long prepared for man
To share creation with a bride whose image bore
A likeness to the thoughts and feelings of her Lord.
I Am the promised Seed of ancient Israel
I long to hold the bride My promises foretell
You once refused to come beneath My wings of love
From every nation now I’ll gather you My dove.
There I prepared the bridal suite green and replete
New every morning lay My gifts down at your feet
Oh how I longed to lead you to My tree of life
Exchange eternal vows and claim you for My wife.

Do you remember when
We chose life and love together.
We were just brand new friends
Full of happy hopes and dreams
Remember, pledging forever
We’d love till the end?
Now looking back on those future dreams
We’ve weathered life’s trials together
And measured that love.
Love now, is it the same
After countless days together?
Tell me, have we changed
Is it us or just love’s changing
Weather; can others tell whether
Or not we’re in love?

Our time has come to show our trust; our marriage must reveal
The love of Christ for His own wife, whose faithful vows He’ll seal.
He has called His chosen bride to stand by His side
On earth portray the Groomsman and His bride.
To glorify the Groom above our marriage must reflect
The image of unwavering love, His character perfect.
The head endowed with courage, the heart aglow with grace
Each partner holds a God-appointed place.
I pledge, as groom, to water with Word
To nourish your garden and needs.
I pledge to bloom, a bride who has heard
His voice in you, submitting as He leads.

The Other Man
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.
