Adam and the beginnings of sin. Genesis 1-3.


Let’s begin this study with what I consider “the beginning.” Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” This statement opens our look into Genesis, but there is a difficulty, and it is this: “The … Continue reading

A layman’s commentary on Matthew 24 verse 15. The Abomination of Desolations.


 The NASB entitles this next section, The Abomination of Desolation. As a standalone statement, this makes no sense to me, and thus, we begin a deep dive into Matthew 24:15 and beyond. “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of … Continue reading

A layman’s commentary on Matthew 24. Matthew 24:14. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world


 Our last post on Matthew 24 opened with “Because Iniquity will abound.” Jesus equated this iniquity to false prophets and lawlessness.  There are two prominent translations of the Greek word anomia, and the King James gives us this.  “And because iniquity shall abound, … Continue reading

An interruption of the layman’s commentary of Matthew 24. Let’s talk about the age of the earth from a Biblical point of view.


We had a house guest recently, and I try not to overwhelm them with my deep dives into scripture. But a family member had also stopped in, and that person instigated this conversation under the pretense of pointing out the … Continue reading

And God saw the light. Genesis 1:1-4.


In my previous post, I had hoped to establish that all things were created perfectly from the moment Jesus first spoke all things into existence. I believe that the primary creation happened in verse one. “In the beginning God created the heavens … Continue reading

“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

Isaac is a type of Christ. Let me explain.


First off, I apologize to those who are regular readers. You could say I have been fighting a mild depression, and I have been occupied with the events surrounding Israel. One of my grandfathers was a Jew, and I feel … Continue reading

Blessed are those who mourn. Matthew 5:4 through?


 Look intently at this. And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated, His disciples came to Him. (Matthew 5:1 NKJV) Jesus did not retreat in fear, nor did He retreat, but it was a strategic … Continue reading

He opened His mouth and taught them. Matthew 5:1-4.


We ended Matthew chapter four with this. “… His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He … Continue reading
