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

Jesus has returned from the wilderness… Matthew 4:13-18.


 When we last saw Jesus, He had been taken, by Satan, up onto an exceedingly high mountain. You might ask yourself, why does this guy get so elaborate? That is because my understanding of scripture is still, to some degree, segmented … 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

He will be called a Nazarite. Matthew 2:18-23.


We ended our last dive into Matthew’s gospel with Matthew 2:16. So let’s see what we can come up with after recapping the last verse. This will give us a foundation for the following few verses. “When Herod saw that he had … Continue reading

I cannot remember how we got to this point, but something got said about hell.


I know many who believe God has already thrown people into hell, but that has NOT happened yet, and, in general,  it will NOT happen until the great throne event at the end of the thousand-year reign of Christ.  Why do … Continue reading

In Him, there was life. A study in the gospel of John 1:4,5.


In my previous post, I “only” covered John 1:1. I had the blinders on and only chose to focus on that one verse. However, verses two and three also speak to the beginning of all things and Jesus’ role in … Continue reading

It is appointed unto man once to die; is that true? Hebrews 9:27.


It was early in 2022 that I came to learn of Lee Brainard. He maintains a YouTube website called Soothkeep, where you can find many of his teachings should you want to check them out. Mr. Brainard comes across as intelligent and … Continue reading

One other thing, prophecy, to the Jew, is a pattern.


Nothing was to be judged on the basis of one witness, which also applied to the prophetic. “On the evidence of two witnesses or three witnesses, he who is to die shall be put to death; he shall not be put … Continue reading

Everyone who loves and practices lying. Revelation 22:15.


In the last post, I focused on Revelation 22:14 and people outside the Holy City who could not enter through any of its gates during the millennial reign because their robes were NOT washed. We have to make the assumption, … Continue reading

Soul sleep and the transitional period. Where do we go when we die?


The motivation for writing, in this case, initiated with the study that I have been doing on the Revelation, where, at the moment, we are in chapters 21 and 22. Those chapters focus on a new heaven and a new … Continue reading
