He established it and did not create a waste place, so what about Genesis 1:2?


Looking at the word wrath to find out if the earth is young or old might seem ridiculous, but I will try to unravel this great mystery for us.  The story begins in Genesis 1:1, which says, “In the beginning, God created the … Continue reading

I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.


This bit about the lamb is another one of those images that gives people grief. Some information that might help you understand is that the Apostle John is NOT writing mysteries meant to be hidden from the church. I mention this … Continue reading

There will no longer be any curse upon the earth. Revelation 22: 3-6.


Revelation 22 begins to repaint the picture of the Holy City because we have moved into the era of the millennial reign of Christ. The Holy City is where a river begins to flow from under the throne of God and … Continue reading

And the city has no need for the sun. Revelation 21: 10-27.

Evidence of the Holy City coming down at the beginning of the millennium is scattered and, in a sense, hidden. Revelation 21:9-11.


 Back to Bible study.  Finally, we have come to the New Heaven; and no, we are not in transition, “awaiting our resurrection to the New Earth,” as Randy Alcorn would tell you. That is nothing more than slop that people have … Continue reading

I have been on a rant about false teachers lately.


Seeing as I have been on a rant about false teachers lately I thought I should add one more.     Two more guys I tend to respect were recently speaking on the subject “are there prophets in these last days.” … Continue reading

Soul sleep and the transitional period. Where do we go when we die?


The motivation for writing, in this case, initiated with the study that I have been doing on the Revelation, where, at the moment, we are in chapters 21 and 22. Those chapters focus on a new heaven and a new … Continue reading

What can we know about Heaven?


When it comes to heaven, our primary source of information comes from the book of Revelation. Yet, by consensus, Revelation is one of the most perplexing books of the Bible, outside of, say, Leviticus and Numbers. If you want to … Continue reading

And God himself will be among them. Revelation 21:3.


So, in Revelation 20, Satan, having been released from the pit, makes a last-ditch effort to kill off God and His people. Satan was only able to accomplish an attack of this size by deceiving the nations. If you are wondering, Revelation refers … Continue reading

They will call Jerusalem ‘The Throne of the LORD,’ and all the nations will be gathered to it. Revelation 21:2.


Let’s assume you read my last post and now have a confidence that allows you to describe how: The surviving Jews enter the millennial kingdom and become evangelists. “In that day … the survivors of Israel.” (Isaiah 4:2 NASB) “For out of Jerusalem will … Continue reading
