  • The Abomination of Desolation

    The Abomination of Desolation

    Jesus’s disciples have asked when the end of the Temple will come, when will not one stone be left upon another? When will Christ judge Jerusalem? Jesus has already made it clear that the judgment upon Jerusalem will happen within their lifetimes (Matthew 23:36). He will repeat His timeframe in Matthew 24:34. He is revealing…

  • God is Unsearchable, but Reveals Himself

    God is Unsearchable, but Reveals Himself

    Directly prior to the great flood, God withdrew His spirit such that the Spirit did not strive with humanity (Genesis 6:3). He left humanity to its own devices to rule the earth, and the earth was plunged into wickedness and violence. God baptized the earth because it had become corrupt. People will only bring injustice…

  • The Signs of the End… End of What?

    The Signs of the End… End of What?

    Your Bible heading may say, “Signs of Christ’s Return,” or something similar. Please keep in mind that the headings over the sections of text in Scripture are not inspired in a verbal-plenary way by God—except, perhaps, in the Psalms. Jesus has left the Temple after weeping over Jerusalem and calling the city desolate. His disciples…

  • Welcome to Babel–Grace in Wrath

    Welcome to Babel–Grace in Wrath

    Following God’s twofold promise, (1) to never destroy or curse the earth and (2) to never again flood the earth, Canaan is cursed and Shem and Japheth are blessed. In Chapter 10, Noah’s children have children who have children. In the third generation, nations have formed according to different languages and families. A man named…

  • Jesus’s Compassion for Sinners

    Jesus’s Compassion for Sinners

    It is Monday on Holy Week. Jesus has pronounced woes on the Pharisees after answering the Sadducees. He now broadens His attention to Jerusalem as a whole. We know that God is good. We know that He is patient with the worst of sinners, not revealing His wrath in haste and never taking pleasure in…

  • The Scarlet Harlot in Revelation

    The Scarlet Harlot in Revelation

    We have seen the bowls of wrath being poured out as Christ gave His life on Calvary. By now, you realize that most of what we’ve been handed as “end times” events is far-fetched. It’s hard to believe because it does not make sense. The Revelation of Christ is much more straight forward and simple…

  • The Curse on Canaan and the Gospel

    The Curse on Canaan and the Gospel

    God has now made two promises, one to Himself and one to creation. He promised Himself that He would never again destroy the earth or every living thing by any means and never again curse the ground (8:21-22). He promised creation that He would never again flood the earth (9:11). Prior to the great flood,…

  • The Noahic Covenant

    The Noahic Covenant

    God has now made an amazing promise to Himself: I will never again curse the ground on account of man, for the intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth; and I will never again destroy every living thing, as I have done. While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, And cold and heat,…

  • Armageddon and the anointing of Christ

    Armageddon and the anointing of Christ

    John has started a new sequence. He explicitly calls this sequence a sign (15:1). If John calls it a sign, or symbol, we are meant to read the bowls as symbolic–a sign of something. In Chapter 15, John used this sign to point to the wrath of God being poured out upon Christ at Calvary.…

  • The Bowls of Wrath Upon the Cross

    The Bowls of Wrath Upon the Cross

    John has described the age in which the Gospel is going out, persecution abounds, and the church experiences all sorts of distress—the tribulation of which he is a partaker (cf. 1:9). After describing the dragon and two beasts, he turned to describe the result of the tribulation experienced in this world—the harvests of the earth.…
