Scripture Reading: Galatians 3:28, 29

What is one of the reasons for people to study history?  Is it not to see what happened to major powers that are no longer major powers?  What occurred to cause them to lose their power and how can we use that knowledge to prevent that from happening to our nation?  What happened to Egypt, Israel, Babylon, Assyria, Media-Persia, Greece, Rome, Great Britain, Germany, United States, Russia, China, etc.?

Galatians 1:13, 14

13) “For ye [Israelite brethren of the churches in the city of Galatia] have heard of my [Apostle Paul’s] conversation [way of life] in time past in the Jews’ religion [Judaism] how that beyond measure I [Apostle Paul] persecuted the church of God and wasted it:

14) And profited in the Jews’ religion [Judaism] above many my [Apostle Paul’s] equals in mine[Apostle Paul’s]own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my [Apostle Paul’s] father.”

Is the Talmud part of the Christian Bible?  No, the Talmud isn’t even part of the Jewish scrolls. It’s a commentary on the Torah written by Babylonian (in one edition) and Palestinian (in another edition) rabbis, which sets down the oral part of the Law and then interprets the Torah. It’s a purely Jewish document that contradicts Christian theology throughout and says things that are totally against Christianity and its God.It is the antithesis of Christendom.  No other religion has this antithesis. 

Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

Scripture Reading: John 7:13 and John 20:19a

13) “Howbeit no man spake openly of Him [Jesus] for fear of the Jews.”

19a) “Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews,…”

It seems that America and most of the rest of the world is afraid of the Big Bad Wolf. But their European ancestors weren’t. For they kicked the “Big Bad Jews” out of their cities, counties and nations many times in the past--over 100 times. But now, many of these same nations have laws that one can go to prison for saying anything that is against the Jews, even if it is true. Russia was the first nation to have these laws, called antisemitism hate laws, after the Bolshevik Revolution and the penalty was death!

Scripture Reading: Revelation 20:7, 8

7) “And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

8) And [Satan] shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, God and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.”

When in the past, present or future is this verse talking about?  In other words, when will the devil deceive the nations?  It is clear from verse seven that it will occur after the 1000-years of his imprisonment are terminated.  But when did that happen: the past, or in the present, or is it in the future? It is after his 1000-year prison term is over that the devil deceives the nations.

Scripture Reading: Luke 13:6-9

Christianity is not a religion with no disagreements.  It is full of them.  Here are some examples. 

There are churches that teach that:

• The earth is flat,
• The universe is only 6,000 years old,
• There were no giants on the earth; Goliath was only seven or eight feet tall,
• There were dinosaurs on the earth, but there are churches that don’t know exactly when they were on the earth,
• Noah’s flood was world-wide; the earth’s population was reduced to eight people 4500 years ago,
• The entire population of the world lived in the land of Shinar and spoke only one language about 4300 years ago,
• All creatures of the earth are created equal,

Scripture Reading:  Romans 7:4

Who was the Apostle Paul’s brethren?  Paul said in the Holy Scriptures that he was of the tribe of Benjamin of the kingdom of Judah/Israel (Philippians 3:6).  So, his brethren would be those of the tribes of Israel.  He also predicted that his brethren would become dead to the marriage law and would be remarried to the resurrected Christ. This cannot be applied to anyone else besides Israel, for they were the ones that were married to Him previously.  One can only be REmarried if they had been married once before.

Scripture Reading Matthew 7:22-23

“Beware of false prophets” (Matthew 7:15a) is the warning that Jesus Christ gave to His covenant people. The false prophets are ravening wolves dressed up as sheep.   Jesus tells His people that the false prophets will:

• Prophesy in the His name,
• Will cast out demons in His name, and
• Will do many wonderful works in His name.

Does anyone here know any false prophets?   Does anyone here know of any preacher who casts out demons in the name of Jesus the Christ? My conclusion is that there are significant more false preachers in our land than real preachers!

Matthew 7:28: “And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at His doctrine.”

Murderous Queen of Judah

I was asked about the children of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel about three years ago.  I have wondered about this situation for many years and didn't receive any help from most Bible commentators.  Very few preachers preached about the subject.   I now have the time, so I will attempt to answer these questions.  They are very important questions because it questions the LORD’s pure genetics.  And any attempt to give an answer is difficult because there are kings in two different kingdoms that have the same name and they ruled at the same time.
