As In The Days of Noah Were Msg II

As the Lord is explaining the circumstances of the period just before the Great Tribulation and His return to this earth He mentions several activities, which one could reasonably view as normal day-to-day living. He further refers to two periods of human history wherein these activities were taking place just prior to a cataclysm of huge proportions. One was the Flood and the other was the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. People are dining, drinking, getting married, conducting business activities, and farming as well as constructing buildings. On the face of the comments these activities seem innocent enough and don’t …

“And they gave Him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but He received it not.”—Mark 15:23.

A golden truth is couched in the fact that the Saviour put the myrrhed wine-cup from His lips. On the heights of heaven the Son of God stood of old, and as He looked down upon our globe He measured the long descent to the utmost depths of human misery; He cast up the sum total of all the agonies which expiation would require, and abated not a jot. He solemnly determined that to offer a sufficient atoning sacrifice He must go the whole way, from the highest to the lowest, from the throne of highest glory to the cross …

Strength and Dignity

Esther 2:8–11 8 As a result of the king’s decree, Esther, along with many other young women, was brought to the king’s harem at the fortress of Susa and placed in Hegai’s care. 9 Hegai was very impressed with Esther and treated her kindly. He quickly ordered a special menu for her and provided her with beauty treatments. He also assigned her seven maids specially chosen from the king’s palace, and he moved her and her maids into the best place in the harem. 10 Esther had not told anyone of her nationality and family background, because Mordecai had directed …

Exposing False Teachers

Believers today must be prepared to evaluate the message of whoever desires to lead us Matthew 7:15-20 15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 …

David: A Picture of God’s Sovereignty

Though you may not always understand God’s reasons, you can surely trust His purposes.   Psalm 103:19-22 19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. 20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. 21 Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. 22 Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.

Mundane and Miraculous

Esther 2:1-7 2 After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her. 2 Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king: 3 And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king’s chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification …

Does He Know Me . . . ? He calleth . . . by name. — John 10:3

When I have sadly misunderstood Him? (John 10:17.) It is possible to know all about doctrine and yet not know Jesus. The soul is in danger when knowledge of doctrine outsteps intimate touch with Jesus. Why was Mary weeping? Doctrine was no more to Mary than the grass under her feet. Any Pharisee could have made a fool of Mary doctrinally, but one thing they could not ridicule out of her was the fact that Jesus had cast seven demons out of her; yet His blessings were nothing in comparison to Himself. Mary “saw Jesus standing and knew not that …

Conditions on the earth before God’s Judgment Msg I

The Lord Jesus talked about the conditions on this earth before the Tribulation and His return. He referred to that time as “In The Days of Noah”.

Revealed Biblical Demonology

Biblical Demonology Dr. Daniel Woodhead Many in the first four centuries of the Church, such as Lactantius and Augustine, wrote of the demons. This doctrine has fallen silent for nearly 1600 years except for a few obscure writers. With Adolph Hitler’s appearance and his known demonic influence the subject has received some attention by theologians. Paul Tillich, the liberal protestant German theologian, wrote of the demonic forces controlling modern history. It is most important to see what the Bible reveals about the demons and demonic forces. We have seen that sin was originated in Satan (Ezekiel 28: 15). He is …

Giants And Grasshoppers

Dr. Mike Murphy I cannot even begin to imagine what those forty days must have been like for Caleb. To have seen with his own eyes everything the Lord had promised.  To have tasted the milk and honey the Lord had told them flowed from the land.  To have seen grape bunches so large it took two men to carry them.  Every word the Lord had promised, his eyes had just seen. But as he returned to their camp in Kadesh with the other eleven scouts, his ears must have deceived him.  The words he heard spoken did not match …

“Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name.”—Psalm 29:2.

GOD’S glory is the result of His nature and acts. He is glorious in His character, for there is such a store of everything that is holy, and good, and lovely in God, that He must be glorious. The actions which flow from His character are also glorious; but while He intends that they should manifest to His creatures His goodness, and mercy, and justice, He is equally concerned that the glory associated with them should be given only to Himself. Nor is there aught in ourselves in which we may glory; for who maketh us to differ from another? …
