“And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea…” – Mark 6:48 Everyone seems to know the account of Jesus walking on the Sea of Galilee. In fact, I think we are all so […]

Introduction Moses, who talked to God face to face, was, and is still today, highly regarded in both Judaism and Christianity – and for good reason. When it comes to Moses and his writing of the Pentateuch, Jesus had this to say: “Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is […]

Introduction As we go through the Olivet Discourse, as found in the synoptic gospels, we want to – as best we can – dissect the information given, offer Biblical and practical observations concerning each presentation, present some corroborating Scripture, and seek to better understand how our Lord structured His discourse and what each gospel writer […]

Recently, I have been prompted to revisit 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 and investigate this passage a little deeper. It should be noted that I have, through this study, developed an alternative nuanced interpretive view that I would like to present to the reader.

“There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead” (Deuteronomy 18:10-11,NKJV).

Introduction One of the things I really enjoy doing with the ministry the Lord has blessed me with is answering questions of believers and unbelievers alike.

Mark 13:32 speaks exclusively of the timing of the rapture of the church. I have written extensively on this subject and the truth that the rapture is clearly revealed at the end of the Olivet Discourse in all three synoptic gospels where it is presented. When it comes to our study of Mark 13:32, we must first […]
