The word “Hebrew” simply means “one who crosses over.” Abram (henceforth Abraham) was the first man to be called a Hebrew because he “crossed over” the border of his country and entered into a foreign country. Anciently, most people lived their lives without ever leaving their nation of birth. For many, their world rarely extended […]

In Second Chronicles 7:14 God is addressing the nation of Israel–His people who were called by His name. These were the descendants of the Patriarch Abraham whom God chose to father “a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people” (1 Pet. 2:9) who were created to live in obedience to Him, […]

Having studied the Scriptural passages in which Jesus of Nazareth commanded that the Words of God (Truth–Jn. 17:17) be OBEYED, let us now examine the teachings of His New Testament apostles for instructions relative to OBEDIENCE to those Words. Let us understand that God did not preserve the writings of His messengers for thousands of […]

There are a number of words that one will hear repeatedly in religious circles. These are words that have come to identify and characterize professing Christianity. Words such as church, God, Jesus, Spirit, Bible, Sunday, read, tithe, love, Christmas, Easter, truth, pray, salvation, cross, etc. are repeated thousands of times each Sunday throughout the world.

The Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord that we are warned will take place at the very end of the end of this world will involve a period of time called in various passages “a time, times and half a time,” “forty and two months” and “a thousand two hundred and threescore days.” […]

The Holy Bible was written to, for and about the nation of Israel. The only time the vast majority of earth’s population (biological Gentiles) are mentioned in Scripture is when they come in contact with biological Israelites, also identified as “God’s chosen people.” The Holy Scriptures contain history of the past from earth’s re-creation (Genesis […]

In Matthew’s Gospel Jesus makes a statement that does not receive the attention it deserves within the religious world. He says: “Blessed are they who mourn ….” (5:4). This statement was taken from Isaiah 61 where the Lord’s prophet is referring to those who weep and mourn over the sins of Zion (Jerusalem) which symbolized […]

For almost 2000 years, salvation seekers have been told that Jesus nailed Jesus nailed His Father’s Law to His cross. Consensus held that this act signaled the removal of the Law from the lives of New Testament believers. This interpretation of Colossians 2:12 through 14 continues to reign supreme to this day. Billions of people […]

A passage of Scripture that is often misunderstood is Matthew 7:1 through 5 where several sources of errors are found. The first error appears in verse one where we find Jesus telling His disciples not to judge. A cursory reading of the verse would have us believe that this was indeed His message to them. […]

In chapter 6 of Matthew’s Gospel Jesus is almost half-way through an important message relative to salvation. Note that He was not speaking to the “great multitudes” who had followed Him out of the surrounding areas to a mountain. His Words were not for the ears of the masses of people who followed Him. Why?
