Jesus is leaving the temple in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 for the last time and explains to His disciples that the temple would be completely destroyed with not one stone left on top of another. Jesus, God in the flesh, knew what even Rome’s General Titus didn’t know, that the temple was going to be completely destroyed perhaps so the beauty and wonder of its architecture and near…

We see the Savior’s heart as He marches t’ward the cross for it’s mainly His disciples who occupy all His thoughts. He warns of coming persecution stating it’s good He’s not around, though they probably didn’t get it, but so the Holy Spirit could abound for it was He who impregnated Mary, after crucifixion, helped Jesus start to breathe and will energize His twelve disciples to recall what He’d…

There’s only one perfect Grapevine whose Father nurses every branch by pruning, keeping from rotting on the ground so the buds can multiply, the tendrils coil, attach. But the branches must abide in Him so He can abide in them for He’s the Father’s Grapevine who fills every new wineskin. (*1) Pruning is a God-thing so the branches can produce even more for God’s preparing them daily to be…

The Seventh Seal: Trumpets: Revelation 8: 1 “When the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3 ¶ Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints on the…

No human knew the subjectbetter than Apostle Johnwho wrote about it in his Gospeland his Revelation, the Olivet Discourse with flesh on. Jesus tells His disciples don’t be saddened, just believe,trust the Father and trust and believe in Me,there are many rooms in My Father’s house,as foretold in Revelation 21:1 a new heaven and new earth are awaiting thee. In a Jewish weddingthe groom comes for…

When will Israel fulfill its destiny? When they grasp Who is their King, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah and the King of kings! Adam broke God’s first commandment, the last Adam obeyed every one, (*1) He’s Messiah, God in the flesh, (*2) Who fulfilled 365 Messianic Prophecies and He’s God’s only Son. Isaiah 7 says it perfectly, the virgin would conceive a son and call Him Immanuel meaning God is…

It was before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew His hour had come, couldn’t wait to see His Father and loved His disciples, be with them to the end. Judas about to consummate his betrayal while Jesus washes his feet Judas’ heart desperately evil, filled with thieving deceit. Simon Peter tried to stop Him, couldn’t fathom Jesus washing his feet, but in just a couple hours, he’d thrice deny the…

Luke 16:19-31 is about Abraham’s bosom which is in Sheol, Hades, which is not hell, and has 2 distinct areas separated by a great chasm so people can’t go back and forth. Abraham’s bosom was a place of comfort where all the Old Testament saints went after dying. The other area is a place of torment where Satan’s followers go after they die waiting for the judgment in Revelation 20:11-15 and hell,…

“R. J. Rushdoony shows how extensive the Exodus imagery is in the symbolism of Revelation: ‘Jesus is both the true Moses (the song of Moses is cited in Revelation 15:2ff) and the greater Joshua. He is the deliverer of God’s people. Simeon at the temple declared that his eyes have seen God’s salvation, having seen the infant Savior (Luke 2:30; cf. Isaiah 52:10), for he was one of those ‘who were…

According to Matthew 25:31-46 Jesus came to judge the nations. Luke 12:48 reminds us that those who are given much, much is expected. 1Peter 4:17 warns that judgment begins in the household of faith. Therefore, it only stands to reason that judgment would begin with God’s Old Testament bride, Israel. (Deuteronomy 7:6, Genesis 12 and 2 Samuel 7) This chapter is the start of the actual judgment of…

The major theme of Revelation is Jesus is Lord and this chapter starts right after Jesus’s resurrection and return to heaven. (Acts 1:9) The chapter starts out almost exactly the same way as Ezekiel 2:9-10 which states “Then I looked, and behold, a hand was extended to me; and behold, a scroll was in it. When He spread it out before me, it was written on the front and back, and written on it were…

Here the scene is changed from earth to heaven and we begin the transition from Revelation 1:19 and “the things which are”, the time of the seven (7) churches, to Revelation 4:1 “After these things I looked” which means we are now concerned with the period when John was writing the book of Revelation. Each person of the Trinity is represented in this chapter. God the Father is the Someone…

REVELATION 2 and 3 Jesus through the Apostle John is writing to 7 first century churches and a membership that he probably knew and ministered with that were located in Asia Minor, today’s Turkey. These churches were already undergoing tribulation and Jesus is writing them a circular letter to be passed on to each church to commend, discipline, and challenge to correct their shortcomings or as…

“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place;” (Revelation 1:1). Verse 6 states, “and He made us into a kingdom, priests to his God and Father-to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.” Verse 9 of Revelation 1 states “I, John, your brother and fellow participant in the tribulation…” So the tribulation,…

Jesus is leaving the temple in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 for the last time and explains to His disciples that the temple will be completely destroyed, demolished with not one stone left on top of another. Later, His disciples come to Him at the Mount of Olives and asked when this would happen, what will signal His return, and the end of the world? Here Jesus is talking about the end of the…
