Revelation is the BOOKEND of Genesis. What was LOST in the Garden (Genesis 1-3) will be RESTORED with the return of Christ and the Judgment of the rebellious world system called BABYLON.

We will rule and reign again in the Kingdom of our Christ!! HALLELUJAH!!

Imposter will come. Wearing sheep skins they will try to sneak in to the church families— to pollute the Faith, seduce the Faithful and substitute a spirit of Jezebel for the Holy Spirit.

Episode # 191

Peter had some very public ‘failures’— his thrice denial of Jesus, his rebuke by Jesus, even his rescue from stormy waters after walking upon the sea. Peter was, however, PERSISTENT! He didn’t give up. That resilient and overcoming spirit is evident in 1 and 2 Peter, as he encourages the church to ‘hang in there’ against the very real persecution of King Nero and Roman society. Your faithfulness, Peter reminds them (and us) will be richly REWARDED!

Episode #190

Practical, down to earth, black and white! That is the book of James. A simple letter to the church, written by the half-brother of Jesus, encouraging us to avoid the lust of the flesh and follow the ‘straight and narrow’ way of the Cross.

Episode #189

For 400 years the Second Temple (the Temple of Jesus’ timeframe) served Israel as the center of Worship. That was about to come to an end. The destruction of the Temple at the hands of the Roman General Titus in 70AD, would signal a change. It would be the end of the Jewish Temple Worship practices— but was the destruction (prophesied by Jesus) a SIGN to Jew and Gentile alike, of a ‘new covenant’ and a new and living way. The book of Hebrews was written to confirm that, Yes, Jesus has fulfilled the Old Testament promises. All the promises of God find their ‘yes’ in Him!
