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

Questions and concerns about the antichrist. Part 1 of four.


I am taking a short break from our study in Matthew to address some questions and concerns once again. One of the major concerns is the number of people who are willing to tell us that we are looking for the … Continue reading

What, then, did dominion mean to Adam? Matthew 4:1-11.


Almost as if it was moments later, Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness. Illustration 1: The Wilderness of Zin, The Wooster Geologists. If I told you nothing else, could you picture what this place looks like … Continue reading

And behold, the heavens were open to Him. Matthew 3:16


When I ended my look into Matthew’s gospel, Jesus had come to John (who was baptizing in the Jordan) so that John would baptize Him. “But John tried to talk him out of it. “I am the one who needs … Continue reading

An acquaintance of mine threw a question/challenge out to the public in the hope of a response. No one seemed to respond, so I took a couple of days to put together a response, and this is it.


You asked general but widespread questions. I separated what you wrote into assertions and questions, and this is my response. “… does anyone else see some resemblance in the description of the rapture and the events at the crucifixion?” I … Continue reading

This blog originated from Pastor Jack Hibbs’ Sunday Morning message dated 4/30/2023. The coming of the antichrist. Can we see that he is coming?


This blog is based upon Pastor Jack Hibbs’ Sunday Morning message dated 4/30/2023. It is NOT meant to disrespect the Pastor, but I, too, have been challenged by people telling me that the rapture is not in the Bible, while … Continue reading

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

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
