Resurrection and Mystery Babylon
February 6th, 2010 | Book of Revelation | 4 Comments
Resurrection and Mystery Babylon go together like chocolate and peanut butter. They are inseparable in Scripture. We endeavor in this writing to show that the identity and judgment of Mystery Babylon corresponds to the time of the resurrection.
Mystery Babylon and the Last Trumpet
In Revelation 11:8-18, Mystery Babylon is identified as the city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. This clearly marks Jerusalem as the subject of the mystery. Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem outside the gates, (Heb. 13:12). During His ministry he stated that it could not be that a prophet perish outside ...

In a few minutes I will share with you a message about What is the Meaning of Revelation 22:12?
Before I do, let me recap an event which happened on yesterday.
As we were riding home in the car on yesterday, my grandson and grand- daughter decided to spend the afternoon with us.
They often come over on Saturdays, because they like to eat large helpings of grandmothers Sunday dinners.
During our ride home in the car, my grandson brought up questions about
words I used in a benediction.
To me they were simple words, but he made it ...
Prophecy in the Apocalypse: What Is the Meaning of...
March 3rd, 2009 | Book of Revelation | No Comment
The key to successful interpretation of Bible
prophecy in the New Testament is to always
find it's source in the Old Testament to unlock
the meaning.
That was the method of the Christ and the
apostles. Prophecy in the Apocalypse: What
is the meaning of Revelation 1:7?, explores
those concepts.
Failure to follow this simple interpretive guideline
leads to unbelief, frustration and all sorts of
fanciful interpretations and doctrines.
Most people pick up the Book of Revelation because of their fascination with prophecy and intrigue for the signs and symbols within. Immediately they assume a posture of predicting the future. Current events,
news reports, and natural calamities supply an unending gold mine ...
Who Is the Ancient of Days in Daniel 7?
November 15th, 2008 | Book of Revelation | 19 Comments
Daniel 7, a hotbed for eschatological theorizing,
continues to baffle commentators, past and
present.
The solution to the identity of the Ancient of
Days is in my opinion, one that is without
controversy.
The most common designation this obviously
Divine character is God himself. This view
largely stems from the reading of the text.
Variant renderings are:
The Son of Man comes to the Ancient of Days
The Son of Man comes as the Ancient of Days
In the first rendering the Father is meant. In
the second it refers to the Son. Can we solve
this debate of Who is the Ancient of Days in
Daniel 7?
Have you ever overlooked the obvious when it
was ...
How Can You Be Raptured from Financial Armageddon?...
November 13th, 2008 | Armageddon | No Comment
There is no question that a financial crisis was a sign
of the end time which came to pass in the first century.
The book of Revelation speaks of a beast who affected
the entire economy.
Under his designs none but those who had the
mark of the beast could buy or sell. (Revelation 12:17).
This had the net effective of a severe financial crisis.
Have you ever experienced a financial crisis in your life?
I remember back in the 80’s when I came very near
having my automobile re-possessed and within hours
of foreclosure on my house.
At the time, I worked in commission sales full-time, but
it seemed I only got paid ...
