INTRODUCTION When I was a baby Christian, a Bible teacher was inquiring which books we would like to study. I chimed in, “Isaiah!” His comment, however, was in the negative, saying it was a lot of dry history and judgments. That was certainly not my take on the prophet. Even as young in the Lord as I [...]

Perhaps you’ve heard the cliché “the oldest lie in the book” referring sometimes to “the check’s in the mail” but “the oldest lie in the book” is literally in the Book of Beginnings, the book of Genesis. It is spoken by the “father of lies”, satan. Satan’s opening line, posed as a question (Gen 3:1), [...]

”Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ?” (1 John 2:22) In Nicaragua, I met a man from Europe. We spoke at length as we were walking. He had seemingly bought the politically-correct re-definition of ”truth” as it being relative and subjective, and he was not convinced of the absolute truth of the Holy Scriptures. He asked ”What is truth?” I asserted that ”Jesus Christ IS the Truth”. Christ said it Himself. It is not only true the facts in the Bible about Jesus Christ but He IS the TRUTH! If you deny it, if you deny Him, the Word of God calls you a liar. (And liars are doomed Rev 21:8 ) That’s a strong word! But the GOOD NEWS: God WANTS you to know the Truth! He gave us His Word. He reveals the Truth to all sincere seekers of the truth. In the end, this young man prayed for God to reveal the truth to him. That’s what I prayed when I was lost in Buddhism and God in His mercy revealed to me Jesus Christ. I am confident that God will reveal the Truth of Jesus Christ to every honestly seeking heart. Are you ready to follow the Truth? Or are you not yet disgusted enough with your life of sin, self-gratification and delusion? Knowing he Truth will set you free! (John 8:32) HalleluYAH!

Though there is much that can be said about Revelation chapter one I’m not wanting to examine it all in depth. However I would like to point out two things that strike me regarding what John says about Jesus. The first is that he is “the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the [...]

It is time for me to begin my study of Revelation. First, I’d like to provide some historical context. The book itself names the author as John and states that the vision therein occurred on the island of Patmos. I completely believe that this John is the apostle though I know that this is sometimes [...]

Revelation Ultra-Simplified Jesus Christ returns, banishes Satan and evil, and reigns with His Saints forever! Don’t be intimidated into not reading Revelation because of all its symbolisms or because it has a lot of disturbing predictions. There’s also a promise of blessing to those who read, hear and keep “the words of this prophecy.” (Rev 1:3) Furthermore, [...]

Reading the last entry in our series for essential 100, Revelation 21-22 I was struck how like every great story the ending was connected back up with the start. Just read about the Tree of life in Genesis 2 before reading the last chapter of the last book. There are many similarities between the New [...]
