A controversy about the sheep and the goats. Matthew 25.

The author critiques a Bible study leader for promoting unsupported claims, arguing for individual scripture study, and highlights the need for theological integrity. Ultimately, confusion arises from differing interpretations of Christ’s judgment and mercy. Continue reading

Here’s a brief diversion from Matthew 24: Two of the most common actions in today’s world are violence and cursing.


Two of the most common actions we see on the news today are associated with the words curse and violence. Have you ever wondered where those two words originated? Well, the word curse comes from the Hebrew word ‘âlâh, and yes, it sounds just like … Continue reading

I got a message from a friend that I needed to address.


I received a message that read something like this—I say sort of because I had to make it legible. I am not sure how my acquaintance integrated this point about “The blood on his cloak,”  but he added some say … Continue reading

Questions and concerns about the antichrist. Part 3 of four.


We ended part two with this.  Because he, the antichrist, affirms the “peace” covenant, we seem to think he is the one that initiates it, and that is not what the scriptures tell us. The passage that we love to … Continue reading

Will you destroy all the residue of Israel in pouring out of your wrath upon Jerusalem?


In looking at some older posts in a folder called “Questions that need an answer,” I found this one dated 04/2019, where a friend was having a meltdown about the wrath of God.  Sometime later, in talking with an acquaintance … Continue reading

This might seem like a bizarre question, but hardly anyone knows the answer. Is the last trumpet related to Armageddon?


I am choosing to refrain from book studies, like the one I finished recently on Revelation. It was a blessing, but a bit tedious, and I needed a break. On the other hand, the small groups I have sat with, … Continue reading

Who is the “you” that is giving the woman trouble, and who is “his” seed?


I used to meet with a group of men twice each week. One group met at a church, and there we had a leader and an established Bible study pattern, even though the leader persisted in preaching his opinion over … Continue reading

Time for some common questions. A buddy of mine asked where we find the Battle of Armageddon in the Bible.


A buddy of mine asked where we find the Battle of Armageddon in the Bible. I knew his question was centered on the prophecies we see in Ezekiel 38,39, and though much of that battle will take place in Israel, there has … Continue reading

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

Release the four angels who are bound. Rev 9: 12-14


We ended the last post with descriptives of locusts, which have stingers in their tails; they act like scorpions; and, they are led by a fallen angel, named Abaddon and Apollyon, which just happen to be the names for Sheol/hell. … Continue reading
