The Sovereignty of God, Trump, and the IRGC
The way we as Christians think through the wars of this world is interesting to me. There are a great many things to be said about the moral justification (or not) of actions taken by world leaders against other world leaders and nations. There are many things to be said about how some people conduct…

Armageddon: The Iranian Conflict and End Times
Well. I finally saw the word used in association with events currently at play in the Middle East. In her post, Coston claimed that, in the last battle, the nations wouldn’t necessarily fight against Israel but against Christ. I have to say, I have never actually seen such a narrative in the text of Scripture.…

Preparing the Way
John 1:6-8 There was a man sent from God. This man was not Jesus. John, the gospel writer, suddenly stops talking about Jesus in order to introduce another character in his narrative—John. He is not introducing himself. This is a different John, John the baptizer. John the baptizer is a man sent from God. He…

Life, Our Most Treasured Possession
Reflecting on John 1:3-5 John doesn’t claim any certain method. He doesn’t give us a timeline of origins. He simply claims that all things came into being through Him, the Word, and apart from Him nothing that exists came into being. Consider, again, the Genesis 1 account. In the beginning God created the heavens and…

Let Me Introduce You to This Jesus
John 1:1-2 Have you ever wondered what came first? I mean, something had to come first, right? Many stories have been told about the origins of all that exists in what we perceive as a very material, raw, and observable universe. Perhaps it was a chance universe with chance physical laws amid many other chance…

Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:14-22
God not only instructs Israel concerning the first Passover in Egypt; He also institutes a week-long festival to commemorate their exodus and freedom. They are coming out of the land of Egypt, so, symbolically, they are to abstain from all leaven–eating only unleavened bread. During the week-long festival, the Israelites are to have holy assemblies…

Melchizedek: Prophet, Priest, and King
Genesis, the story of beginnings, revolves around several key events leading up to the founding of Israel as a people with a national identity. Even though I have so far taken 19 parts to walk through Genesis form 1:1 so far, the story is simple. God chooses and establishes a people for Himself, though whom…

National Israel, Satan, and Jesus in Revelation
With the blasting of the seventh trumpet, we saw that the kingdom of Christ was at hand, and all authority was given to Jesus in His incarnation. He began to rule as the federal head of creation in His incarnation, a reality which necessarily begins His millennial reign over the earth in the First Century…

John Eats a Little Book
The sixth trumpet has sounded, symbolizing the final death and judgment of those who reject the testimony about Jesus Christ. Before the seventh trumpet is blasted, there is a second interlude. The first interlude (Chapter 7), John described the conquering work of Jesus Christ prior to His work of judgment. In this interlude, John describes…
