Advent Devotionals 2024: Visitation Principles

Continuing my themes of Jesus as our Jewish Messiah (from last year’s Advent) and the series on the mystery of how Jews and Gentiles are heirs together in Christ, I invite you to join me in a study of the Letter to the Hebrews, one of three New Testament books/letters designed to relate to the […]

Voting and the Sit-it-Outers

If you believe the statistics, some US Christians will sit on their hands instead of voting in the upcoming elections.  I’ve known a few of these types in my life, their motto is, “Muh principles!” Not wanting to get their hands dirty by participating in such a worldly and political process as voting or soiling […]

Enemies of God

At this point in Revelation, with God’s Church safely off the earth, the nations of Gog and Magog will descend like a cloud upon peaceful Israel (in the Great Battle of Ezekiel 38-39).  Israel, it is written, is recovered from war, has been gathered to the mountains of Israel and is living in safety.  Time […]

My Voice is All I Have

I need to do this because it’s important for the truth. In the end, all I have to offer is my voice. There are too many Ukrainians dying, too many Russians dying, too many Palestinians dying, too many Israelis dying, too many Arabs dying, too many Muslims dying, too many Christians dying, too many Americans […]

Sign, Sealed, and Delivered

The Church has not replaced the Jews, whom Scripture says will someday look upon the One they have pierced and mourn.  Before they are delivered (importantly!) by faith as Paul indicates with grafting back in (Romans 11:17-32), there will be a sign and a seal.

The Unbelieving World

On earth, those people remaining (none of whom had been raptured or had their bodies changed) would be those left behind. They also were not in the antichrist’s (beast’s) army that already died and were food for the birds, but were others, maybe fence-sitters or absent from the scene in the rest of the unbelieving […]

On Earth as it is in Heaven

Now, with that uncomfortable topic of Tribulation Martyrs out of the way, we can be consistent in saying all believers (Jew and Gentile heirs together) will no longer be “flesh and blood.”  They will not marry.  They will not have kids in the Millennium.  They all reign with Christ for a thousand years.  So, who […]

Mystery Told: We’ll All be Changed

Last time we saw that at the Rapture, bodies of believers from all generations will rise.  They will also be changed.  “So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable…I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the […]
