The history of the church as an institution is the history of warfare.  The same holds true for the individuals within the institution.  That warfare rarely involves the masses outside of professing Christianity.  As the previous postings have shown, it is those inside the religious beast that calls itself “the (Catholic/Protestant) church” that hates, rejects […]

In what is called His Olivet prophecy recorded in Matthew 24, Jesus warned His followers then and now about problems that would arise in the world in general and within God’s church in particular just prior to His Second Coming.  He warned about men who would rise to leadership  who would deceive the masses.  He […]

Everything. In Matthew 16:18 Jesus declared: “I will build My church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.”  Note that He does not mention peace and tranquility relative to His church, but rather forces from hell attacking His her and her having to overcome those forces in order to survive.  Other Scriptures […]

Anciently, the Temple in Jerusalem was the central place of worship for the people of God.  In the next life there will also be a Temple for His people located in New Jerusalem.  The first Temple was made of physical materials.  The future Temple, its building “stones” already being prepared, will be strictly spiritual.  God’s […]

By all historical and Biblical accounts, the temple King Solomon built for His God was the most spectacular edifice ever constructed.  As impressive as the temple was, equally impressive is HOW it was constructed.  “Fine print” seekers know that to look beyond the outward appearance and into the internal machinations of an entity is often […]

Biblical prophecy is God’s method of showing us in advance the results of how we choose to live our lives–good or bad.  Students of prophecy notice that predictions of negative outcomes are joined by predictions of a positive sort.  Early on in life man gets to choose which prophecy applies to him.  In other words, […]

Biblical prophets of old were never appreciated by the people to whom they ministered.  Their message was rejected by most of the people who heard them.  Their messages are still maligned today.  In fact, the church has accused God of nailing them to Christ’s cross.  The question is, “Why?”  Why do those to whom God […]

Biblical prophecy is God’s method of expressing His love for mankind.  As is the case with any loving father, He gives His children a choice which determines their relationship with him.  That choice, called “the Law,” carries two opposing messages–one positive, one negative.  This signature aspect of God’s expression of love for mankind was first […]

The Lord governs His people by His Law, which includes every Word in His Holy Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation.  Recall that Jesus and the apostles taught from the Old Testament Law.  The New Testament did not exist at the time of their ministries and would not exist until around 90 A.D. when John codified […]

When the Lord began dealing with me concerning television a question kept coming back to me: “Who are you watching?”  Not what, but WHO was the initial question.  The answer was: ungodly people who lead the nation and the world in sin and degradation and who entice their followers to walk in their vile footsteps.  […]
