In the previous posting we found the Lord telling Ezekiel that there were two kinds of “wood” in a forest–trees and vines.  Though both were made of the same substance, one was useful for His work as ambassadors for Him through obedience to His Words.  The other, He said, was useless and served no purpose.  […]

Biblically, one who herds sheep is called a shepherd (sheep herder).  The fact that there are goats among the sheep, even outnumbering them, does not change the description of the one who drives the herd to where grass and water can be found.  A “sheep herd” is a sheep herd, even if it is known […]

In Ezekiel 14:1 we find that certain elders of Israel have come to the prophet in order to hear words from God.  Before they could speak to the prophet, God spoke to him regarding the spiritual condition of the men sitting before him.  In short, they had allowed Satan to take over their minds.  He […]

Chapter 14 begins with a familiar scene that characterized both Old Testament and New Testament times.  People would gather in front of a person of knowledge and would sit and listen to him speak relative to his expertise.  In verse 1 we learn that “certain of the elders of Israel” have come to Ezekiel to […]

Before beginning this series I will explain why I have been absent for several days.  My daughter gave me a new computer.  However, I had not been able to access my website until moments ago.  Thanks for your patience and thank God for preventing Satan from shutting this website down.  Now, back to the work […]

In Matthew 24 Jesus is warning His disciples then and now that a time of terrific horror is coming on the world because of man’s sins.  One of the “signs” He mentions relative to His return to earth is EARTHQUAKES IN MANY PLACES.  Though He does not specifically mention such “natural” disasters as droughts, floods, […]

“But there have always been doomsday preachers,” is a familiar refrain when the end of time subject arises.  Which is true.  Skeptics have scoffed at Bible prophecy from the beginning.  For example, Adam and Eve, Noah’s contemporaries, Israel in her heyday, New Testament times and now in history’s most intellectual era–from Eden to the present […]

A couple of weeks ago as I came out of an office building I heard someone yelling.  Though we were quite a distance apart I could hear his voice loud and clear.  It was a man telling everyone within earshot that they had better get right with God or else ….  Immediately I was reminded […]

It is obvious from studying the Bible that, though man is somewhat obsessed with the exact date of Jesus’ birth, God is not.  Nowhere in Scripture are we given a date to celebrate the birth of the most important human being ever born.  If the date was important to God, why did He withhold it […]

God said: “Learn not the ways of the heathen ….  For the customs of the people (Gentiles/heathen) are vain, for one cuts a tree out of the forest … with an axe.  They adorn it with silver and gold and fasten it with nails and hammers ….” (Jer. 10:2-5).  Research the history of “Christmas” and […]
