The Gap - Part 2

“…his own received him not”  John 1:11

By Walter Giddings

June 28, 2026

We concluded the prior Lesson, "The Gap, truth or theory" in Luke 4:28-29, where we learned the whole Synagogue was filled with wrath, cast him out of the city, and led him to the precipice of the hill on which Nazareth was built to “cast him down headlong”! We ended with the question: what happened between verses 22 and 28?  (Verse 23). Shall we find out?

The Gap

Is the Gap Truth or theory? Where in the Scriptures do we find a gap?  How well did our fathers, living under the Old Covenant, understand the Messianic Prophecies? Are there Scriptures that reveal the people’s understanding in Jesus’ day?

The dawning of social media has given a greater freedom of speech on various issues that were previously considered inappropriate and were actually censored by the keepers of the the platforms.  Additional platforms have been created that have allowed alternative beliefs to be openly discussed, including criticism of Edomite jews.  And yet, the blindness continues due to AI algorithms controlling our feeds.  Available in audio only.  

The Doctrine of Satan - Part 1

SCRIPTURE READING: Luke 10:18, ISV,

Relatively speaking, the topic of Satan is one of the last things for Christians to talk about. Nevertheless, the subject is worthy of review: In fact, hardly a church service goes by in which we do not speak of the chief enemy of God and Christendom—the jews, who are directly related to Satan according to the statements of Jesus Christ in the Gospels.

The question before us is, does the language of Scripture confirm or reject the person of Satan? Is he real, or just a personification of an abstract idea?

The Doctrine of Satan

by Rev. Jim Jester

Is Satan a real personality, or an inanimate object of evil—a personification of an abstract idea? This is a part of the series of sermons on the “dark side” (one on Nephilim and two on Satan). Some will disagree with this study and that’s ok, however, they surely will agree with the brighter points contained here.

Scripture Reading:  Genesis 27:29:

This is a two-part series about twin boys who lived about four thousand years ago. Are their lives of any importance in today’s world? Their mother was Rebekah and she was having difficulty while she was pregnant. For the twins struggled so violently while they were in her womb that she asked the LORD what was happening. The LORD answered that there were two manners of people that were in her womb; and “the elder would serve the younger” (Genesis 25:22-23).

SCRIPTURE READING: Genesis 6:1-4:

1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

INTRODUCTION

This is one of the most marginalized passages in the Bible. Many pastors and Bible students tend to avoid it, because any serious study on it can quickly become quite controversial. But Genesis 6:1-4 actually plays a very important role in biblical theology. So how should this passage be interpreted? Who are these “sons of God?” Are they divine or mortal? And who were these “giants” (or, Nephilim) that these women bore?

Isaiah 61:1-3

In our previous Lesson, “What is truth?”, we learned how to evaluate and validate truth claims. Then we tested ourselves against a number of truth claims.

Is the Gap truth or theory? Where in the Scriptures do we find a gap? How well did our fathers, living under the Old Covenant, understand the Messianic Prophecies? Are there Scriptures that reveal the people’s understanding in Jesus’ day?

German Defeat in WWII

Treason and Sabotage = German Defeat in WWII

by Harald Zieger

Scripture Reading: 2nd Corinthians Chapter 10:4-6

As in Normandy in 1944, there was also well-organized betrayal and systematic sabotage by high-ranking German officers on the Eastern Front. In the first volume of VERRAT AN DER OSTFRONT, Friedrich Georg outlines why the final victory was not secured. Did the individual acts of sabotage contribute significantly to the German defeat in 1945? Who were these people who spared nothing in their power and region of influence to destroy the National Socialist Movement to re-install the so-called Democracy of the Weimar Republic, the den of iniquity and decay, out of which Hitler and the NSDAP had restored a cultural and racist clean country?
