Describing Isaiah’s Vision

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 14, 2024

Everyone who reads Isaiah's vision picturize the temple, throne and God based on their view of God. For some, the temple could be a small room, and the throne may be as simple as a chair with God seated on it. As a result, they rush past this verse as if it’s a short cartoon or simple setting.

The Dark Side Of Christmas

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Dec 16, 2008

Herod was among the first few to hear the Christmas message, but he was too bent on doing his own will, too wrapped up in himself, and too caught up by power and control, to see the light.

Matthew reminds us that Jesus did not enter the world with sparkling lights and soothing carols. • Jesus along with his family begins his life as a refugee in need of asylum. • King Herod was part of the backdrop of this first Christmas play, together with the singing angels, the happy shepherds ...read more

Rachel's Sorrow

Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 6, 2016

However crafty, however ruthless Herod might have been, he could be no more successful than his evil superior Satan. The Redeemer would come just as was planned, would live just as planned, and would die just as planned.

Truth Or Consequences For Truth Tellers

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Jul 13, 2018

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 12, 2018

The real reason for the Middle-East Crisis: THE DEVIL IS TRYING TO HINDER THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST by stopping God’s elect nation from getting reestablished, stopping their having Jerusalem, stopping the building of the Temple and the reinstitution of sacrifices.
