John didn’t refuse to answer. He told them clearly. John 1:19-23.


I am writing to people who have been taught poorly or were taught falsehoods, and some errors are intentional. I will include myself in this next weakness within the Christian community, and that is that WE do not nor will … Continue reading

Grace and truth were realized through Jesus. John 1:15-18.


 “In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” (John 1:4-5 NASB) Some need to know information. As I pointed out in a previous … Continue reading

Passages that speak to the rapture of the Church.


In a recent conversation, I was told by a person who also spent a tremendous amount of time attending church, as I did, that they can see very little in scripture that tells us of a rapture of the church. … 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

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

To witness and to give you assurance of these things. Revelation 22:16.


Why did Jesus have to remind John that His words are meant to give assurance of these things? Because, He knew, somewhere down the road, that the enemy and those that follow the voice of the enemy will play into … 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

My reward is with Me. Revelation 22:12


Still, to this day, church-going people fear the “Revelation”; they fear it primarily because they don’t understand it and don’t understand because they don’t want to. Therefore, they will not open their Bibles. As I have mentioned in my previous … Continue reading

There will no longer be any curse upon the earth. Revelation 22: 3-6.


Revelation 22 begins to repaint the picture of the Holy City because we have moved into the era of the millennial reign of Christ. The Holy City is where a river begins to flow from under the throne of God and … Continue reading
