Previously in this series I mentioned a few examples of how Satan, through his fallen angels called “devils” or “demons,” has gained control over the mental and physical lives of the world’s population beginning in the Garden of Eden.  Adam and Eve’s descendants followed in their spiritual footsteps.  At one point God had to kill […]

Unlike what took place in the Garden of Eden when he was dealing with two people, in the modern world Satan does not work alone.  In fact, as the Holy Scriptures make abundantly clear, he does most of his damage to the human species through his fallen angels known Biblically as “devils,” called “demons” in […]

In His message to the church at Thyatira (Acts 2:18-24) Jesus speaks to the congregation concerning a problem that is causing discord.  The instigator is a woman named Jezebel who is leading some of the people, evidently many of them, to sin.  He evaluates the problem as among the worst possible.  He labels it “the […]

In the Book of Revelation we are told about a new Jerusalem that would replace old Jerusalem which has stood since the days of Abraham and Melchisedec.  That same Jerusalem has passed through alternate stages of holiness and evil, brilliance and depravity over the centuries.  Today her streets are covered with litter and filth.  Feral […]

In order to understand the importance of Jerusalem in the eyes of God we need to understand how the “city of peace” came into being and under whose rule it operated following its founding.  We pick up the story line in Genesis 12.  Here we find that the Lord has instructed Abraham to leave his […]

If there ever was a metropolitan enigma, it is Jerusalem.  The “city of peace” has had more blood shed in her streets than any other city in history.  Yet God tells us in His Holy Scriptures that one day Jerusalem–the center of His universe–will be the fount from which peace will flow out to all […]

The Apostle Paul uses the expression “Our holy brethren?” in verse one of Hebrews 3.  There is only one kind of brethren relative to the Christian walk–the holy kind.  A professing Christian is either holy or unholy–a contender or a pretender.  True brethren serve one God–Jehovah.  The Word “one” is paramount in God’s spiritual world […]

God is predictable.  What He has written in the Bible was, is and will be exactly as He said it was, is and will be.  That is a surety.  However, there are times when He does things that, though Biblical, are not obviously so.  In such cases one must search the Scriptures diligently to find […]

In his attempt to persuade Jesus to sin, Satan tried everything, including making Him angry.  He went so far as to cast doubt on the heritage of the miraculously-conceived Man from Galilee Who, if He had been thin-skinned, might have reacted in a hostile manner.  This would be like someone doubting the true identity of […]

Was it, as is commonly believed, impossible for Jesus of Nazareth to sin while He walked the earth?  The answer has eternal significance for those who seek to spend eternity with Him in that it reveals what the salvation seeker must do in order to qualify for eternal life.  To answer that question we must […]
