In Revelation 10 the apostle John encounters an angel who presents seven thunders (which are to remain sealed and silent), as well as a little book which John was supposed to consume and speak. Is it a contrast? Certainly, but it is also a lesson. John was obedient to say the things he was supposed […]

The 5th and 6th trumpets will bring untold misery and destruction to the world…and they will come by the will of God. Is God good? Absolutely. God is good all the time, and all the time God is good. But God can use even the worst things to bring about His good plan for this […]

It took seven years of madness with awful public humiliation, but the king of Babylon finally learned the lesson God had been trying to teach him since Daniel 1: God is King.

Nebuchadnezzar may have commanded the world’s superpower at the time; God had command over every nation of the world. Apple: […]

As elsewhere in the book of Revelation, there is much in this chapter that is debated among well-meaning theologians. What is beyond dispute is this: when you belong to Jesus, you are saved by Jesus. Those who believe today that Jesus is God will find that Jesus is the God who saves! Apple: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/preach-the-word/id1449859151?mt=2 Spotify: […]

When it comes to the people of God, there are many areas in which we are at odds with the general culture in our world, and in these things there can be no compromise. The book of Daniel opens with such an event, showing that Daniel and his friends were unwilling to compromise their Biblical […]

Might Jesus use His omnipotent power in acts of vengeance? Yes! Although we often think of vengeance as being something bad, it isn’t…not when it is exercised in the right way for the right reason by the right authority. As the 5th and 6th seals demonstrate, Jesus is the right One to exercise vengeance, and […]
