Someone I know wrote to me asking if I could contrast and compare the rapture to the cross. To be honest, it did not seem like there was a comparison. I have discovered a depth I did not know.


The text compares the crucifixion and the rapture, emphasizing Jesus’ significance. It illustrates the thief on the cross, who gained salvation through belief in Christ. It discusses scriptural interpretations of Jesus’ actions, sacrifice, and the shift in salvation history following the cross, along with the implications of judgment and eternal life for believers.

“We are to know” what is going on around us. A different way to think about Eschatology. Matthew 24.


Thanks to a change in the atmosphere, I am jumping out of our study on Matthew once again. If I did not say it before, let me say it now. I have been struggling with mild depression. Some would say … Continue reading

I cannot remember how we got to this point, but something got said about hell.


I know many who believe God has already thrown people into hell, but that has NOT happened yet, and, in general,  it will NOT happen until the great throne event at the end of the thousand-year reign of Christ.  Why do … Continue reading

“The Story” Chapter 1, Genesis four, from Adam to Noah. Edit and repost.

Its power touches only the living. Romans 7:4.


I am looking at Romans 8, but Pastor Jack Hibbs pointed out that the context begins in chapter seven, and, therefore, I am starting here in Romans 7. But first, a notation.  Paul, immediately, in Romans 7:1, tells us,   “You … Continue reading
