Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jun 16, 2015

Revelation 6. Quickly John sees an overview of either world history of the final Tribulation. Whichever it is, it clearly will be re-visited in the book. Revelation is not in chronological order. The end of chapter 6 is the end of the world!

Is God's Favour Always Unfair?

Contributed by Odon Bulamba on Nov 26, 2013

God's favour is always unfair. Accept it or not, like it or dislike it, God does things the way that He wants them to be done. He gives to someone who is different to your expectation and left aside the one that you might think deserves something from Him

Ruth 2:10, “At this, she bowed down with her face to the ground. She asked him, “Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you notice me—a foreigner?” For those who want to know the story of Ruth: Naomi and her husband and her two sons were living in Bethlehem and from ...read more

Jesus Fulfills The Feasts - Part 1 Series

Contributed by Scott Kircher on Apr 7, 2014
