Who are these people, because I see them everywhere in scripture?


Now in the second year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams. His spirit was so troubled that his sleep left him. So the king gave the command to call the magicians, the astrologers, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans(?) to tell the king his dreams. So they came … Continue reading

He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire. Matthew 311-13.

One of the frequent discussions I hear centers on this phrase, “as it was in the days of Noah.”


One of the frequent discussions I hear centers on this phrase, “as it was in the days of Noah.” This comes from Luke 17:26, where it says, “And [just] as it was in the days of Noah, so will it … Continue reading

Things that puzzle and provoke me. Matthew 3:9-12.


In the previous post on Matthew 3, we touched on verses 9 – 12, but as I look at these verses again, I see things that provoke and puzzle me. For example: “And do not presume to say to yourselves, … Continue reading

Matthew chapter three opens with a fast-forward of about 25 years. The headline from the Berean Study Bible (and most of them say the same thing) reads: “John the Baptist Prepares the Way” “And in those days John the Immerser … Continue reading
