He established it and did not create a waste place, so what about Genesis 1:2?


Looking at the word wrath to find out if the earth is young or old might seem ridiculous, but I will try to unravel this great mystery for us.  The story begins in Genesis 1:1, which says, “In the beginning, God created the … 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

He will force the world to take the mark.


Considering how peculiar this “beast” is, what kind of image would you make for it? Perhaps you could make a portrait of it and focus on the “eyes”; since scripture tells us that “it” is given a mouth, then maybe … Continue reading

The deception will be great. Matthew 24:3-5.


Doesn’t this title have a familiar ring to it? What was Jesus’ first response when the disciples ask Him these questions? “As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when … Continue reading

I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.


This bit about the lamb is another one of those images that gives people grief. Some information that might help you understand is that the Apostle John is NOT writing mysteries meant to be hidden from the church. I mention this … 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

Having a meltdown about the wrath of God. Revelation 12:12


In looking at some older files 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. Although in talking with another acquaintance about eschatology, … Continue reading

Since finishing the study on Revelation, I had the notion to address rather common misconceptions and questions that I hear. The 144,000 is one of those misconceptions.


This was first posted in 2008, but much has changed since then, along with my attitude. Since finishing the study on Revelation, I had the notion to address rather common misconceptions and questions that I hear. The 144,000 is one … Continue reading

As we anxiously await His return. Revelation 22: 18 – 21.


With the last few posts, we should have been encouraged and established as we read and studied Revelation 22, verses 16 and 17. Why? Because we have good witnesses and reliable testimony, this testimony primarily comes from the mouth of Jesus, who established … Continue reading

And let the one who is thirsty come. Revelation 22:17, 18.


In August of 2022, I published a commentary on Revelation 22:16. Here, I use the Good News Bible, as it conveys that Jesus wanted John to share this information with the church bodies that existed and to future Christ followers, … Continue reading
