Did God give the nations to the angels? Deuteronomy 32:7-9.


I listened “briefly” to a speaker on YouTube as they stated that Deuteronomy 32, verse 8, in the Greek Septuagint, tells how God gave the nations to the angels of God. It is statements like this that prompt me to … Continue reading

A layman’s commentary on Matthew 24. No man knows the day or the hour. Matthew 24: 36.

Adam and the beginnings of sin. Genesis 1-3.


Let’s begin this study with what I consider “the beginning.” Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” This statement opens our look into Genesis, but there is a difficulty, and it is this: “The … Continue reading

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

 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
