The Book of Ruth is not typically considered a prophetic book or a Christmas story. I think its both. The book is tucked away between the book of Judges and 1 Samuel, bridging the two time periods. The book has four short chapters and if you take about 30 minutes to read through it – …
The Holy City – New Jerusalem
Cities of the world are lawless cesspools of violence, murder, drugs, looting, homeless encampments full of Hepatitis and COVID, garbage and used needles all over the sidewalks and streets, criminal gangs at war with each other, it goes on and on. This is where the “powers that be” of the world want us to live. …
The Throne of God – Part IV (Psalm 23)
There was a time when Psalm 23 was perhaps the most recognized part of the bible. It was often read as a word of comfort during times of tragedy or mourning. It is indeed a beautiful, poetic passage that evokes mental images of a peace, beauty and security. But what if there is more to …

The Rainbow
It doesn’t rain often here in the Antelope Valley of Southern California, since it is a desert climate. However we do have our rainy season in the late winter, early spring.

The Throne of God – Part 2
In the last post, I described the power and authority of God’s throne. The fact that prophecy exists and is fulfilled to the finest detail over all of history is clear evidence of God’s complete sovereignty over his creation. The rapid change we see in the world culture, technology, religion, politics, and social structure today …
The New Jerusalem
A few years ago I was asked to do a teaching for a small bible study group. I’ve been a part of that group for about 8 years or so. Now, we had spent quite some time on the topic of sin. Now I have no problem with an in-depth study on sin – its …
The End State
Where is the world headed according to the bible? Will things kind of stay the same? I don’t think anyone believes that. The super rich and powerful have their plans for the world – a one world government, religion, financial system, economy. Everything is going global – just as predicted in the Bible. There is …
The Throne of Almighty God and of the Lamb – Part 1
There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him. Revelation 22:3 The study of these final chapters in the Book of Revelation is overwhelming. There is so much richness here. This particular verse carries three key characteristics of …
