An interruption of the Layman’s commentary. Are there prophets in this enlightened time of the New Testament?


My pastor, who is not the only one, will adamantly proclaim that there are NO prophets since the arrival of the New Testament. Is that true?  Let’s see what the scriptures say. “For just as we have many members in … Continue reading

A layman’s commentary on Matthew 24, verses 16 – 28. Let those in Judea flee to the mountains.


We are now in chapter five of my Layman’s commentary on Matthew 24, and we are in the section identified by the publishers as the, Abomination of Desolation. Matthew 24:15 tells us this – “Therefore when you see the ‘ABOMINATION … 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

The antichrist. How, then, do we fit the Roman Empire into this mix? Daniel 9:26 and a few other verses.


In the previous post, I referred to Daniel describing the statue, with the head of gold, to Nebuchadnezzar. He tells Nebuchadnezzar that he is the head of gold. Both the silver and the bronze are referred to as inferior kingdoms, … Continue reading

I want to talk about the antichrist persona for a few minutes.


I pay a lot of attention to conversations about eschatology (end times events as they relate to scripture.) Everything going on around us is related to biblical end-times events; this includes Israel at war, the breakdown of our governmental systems, … 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
