Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jun 24, 2015

Wait a minute. Wasn't the fall of Babylon already predicted? Did it not already happen? Is this the same Babylon? Was Babylon ever taken out like the prophets foretold? Truly a mystery, this Babylon!

But careful analysis does not support that notion. There is too much similar. What is different about ...read more

Which Shepherd Are You Choosing? (Pt. 2) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 19, 2022

This exposition of Zechariah 11:7-17 examines Zechariah's prediction of Christ's rejection at his First Advent and the consequences of that rejection. The timeless truth taught is: when the leadership God sends is rejected, the judgment that follows is bad leadership.
