September 23, 2017 – Part 2

And you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years. Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; Lev 25:8-10

An alignment of this type took place four times over the past 1000 years Continue reading →

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. Gen 1:14-16

This past Saturday I watched a program about the Revelation 12 event slated for Saturday, September 23rd. Continue reading →

Dressed for battle.

And a champion went out from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. He had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze. And he had bronze armor on his legs and a bronze javelin between his shoulders. 1 Sam 17:4-6

The giant soldier, clad in armor, launched a verbal attack against the people of God. Continue reading →

Be Gentle

But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will. 2 Tim 2:23-26

I am no expert but I really try to avoid spiritual and secular arguments. I have never liked conflict and disputes. Continue reading →

Eyes on God

And he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.” 1 Kings 19:14

Elijah was quite a prophet; an awesome man of God that stood against the king, queen, and the idolatry of a nation. Continue reading →

Discipline

Let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one. Matt 5:37

The evil one is intent on evil. He wants to cause confusion and harm. He desires misunderstanding and a commotion.
Such is the case in something I read this morning on Facebook. Continue reading →

Wrong is wrong no matter who does it.

Now when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed; for before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision. Gal 2:11-13

I have often thought of this scripture. In Bible college I wrote a paper on Galatians and gained some in depth understanding. Continue reading →
