Who’s the Subject of Isaiah 53? You Decide! by Efraim Goldstein Some background on Isaiah 53 Isaiah 53 is a well-known passage of Scripture to the avid student of the Bible. But most people are not avid Bible students and have not read this controversial passage. A recent informal survey illustrates this point.1 One hundred […]
More than 2600 years ago, the Prophet Isaiah recorded a challenge hurled by God to all those who laid claim to Divinity, saying; “Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.” (Isaiah […]
BEIRUT, LEBANON (6:20 P.M.) – The Russian Air Force unleashed a massive attack across northern Syria, today, targeting several sites under the control of the jihadist rebels.

Daniel 1:1-21 1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it. 2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar […]
Question: “Is ‘you reap what you sow’ biblical?” Answer: According to the Bible, do you reap what you sow? The principle of sowing and reaping is common throughout the Bible, because it is something that humanity can relate to. The practice of working the ground to gain a harvest is nearly as old as humanity […]
The ancient Bible prophets foretold that Jerusalem will become the focal point of the world. It is. We know the nations of the world will one day gather against it. And we know that, eventually, many of those nations will coalesce into formidable blocs that will oppose each other. Those groups of like-minded nations will become enemies that go to war against each other. The Bible says that it will culminate in a final conflict that the world has come to know as “Armageddon.” “Armageddon” looms over the world. It’s never far from the thoughts of even unbelievers. Remember “Carmageddon” …
Growing in faith at times involves letting go of something, but God blesses us for obeying. Genesis 15:6“And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.” Abraham is one of the people in the Old Testament who have had a great impact on my spiritual walk. In his life, I see the necessity of living by faith. Separation is oftentimes a part of our development as Christians. Before we can take on something new, the Lord may ask us to let go of something we already have. In Genesis 12:1-3, God told Abraham he was …
Answer: Just before His arrest, Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane, and He said to His disciples, “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Matthew 26:41). The command came after Jesus had been praying to the Father and had found the disciples sleeping instead of praying (verses 38–40). He had admonished them to stay awake and pray with Him, but “their eyes were heavy” (verse 43), and they kept falling asleep. They slept right up until the time the armed mob came to take Jesus away …

A new trend among teens is snorting condoms. It’s their latest “challenge.” They insert a condom up one nostril, they inhale it, and then they pull it out from the back of their throat through their mouth. It gets them attention from “friends” they don’t need. But it’s dangerous to do. It has caused choking, allergic reactions, infections, appendicitis, and pneumonia. Chances are it can also kill a person by blocking their breathing – and it almost did. “Stupid is as stupid does.” I guess eating Tide Pod laundry detergent packets wasn’t gratifying enough for this forward-thinking crowd. That was …
Question: “Why is being a good person not enough to get you into heaven?” Answer: If you ask most people what you have to do to get into heaven (assuming they believe in heaven or an afterlife), the overwhelming response will be some form of “be a good person.” Most, if not all, religions and worldly philosophies are ethically based. Whether it’s Islam, Judaism, or secular humanism, the teaching is common that getting to heaven is a matter of being a good person—following the Ten Commandments or the precepts of the Quran or the Golden Rule. But is this what …
Are you interested in studying End times?Ariel New Zealand has a wealth of resources. Books | Audio | Online Courses. www.ariel.org.nz A: There is no need to assume that the 144,000 Jews will be taken off the earth prior to the end of the Millennium. Since they are sealed for protection, I see them as remaining and surviving on earth throughout the seven years of Tribulation. I suspect that after the worldwide evangelism, which will take place in the first half of the Tribulation, they will migrate to the city of Petra for the second half of the Tribulation. They will be …
By every measurable historical standard, the city of Jerusalem should have fallen into oblivion centuries ago. The city was destroyed in AD 70 by the Romans and its founders and traditional inhabitants were killed or fled into exile in foreign lands. It has no natural wealth. It has no coastline. It sits inconveniently upon a mountain. It overlooks nothing of strategic military value. It is on no ancient trade route. The King’s Highway of David’s time ran north and south through modern Jordan. Jerusalem was well off the beaten path — folks didn’t pass through Jerusalem on their way to somewhere …
