At Daniel 9, the angel Gabriel tells Daniel: "There are seventy weeks (of years) that have been determined upon your people and upon your holy city, in order to terminate the transgression, and to finish off sin, and to make atonement for error, and to bring in righteousness for times...

Is the Bible hard to understand ? Yes. Jesus said in prayer to his heavenly Father: "I publicly praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have carefully hidden ("carefully hidden", Greek apekrupsas, meaning "to conceal away (i.e. fully); figuratively, to keep secret", Strong's...

It is necessary to first understand what "the wild beast" is before understanding what ' the mark of the beast' entails. At Revelation 13:1, 2, the apostle John sees a "dragon" watching a "wild beast" ascending "out of the sea", having "ten horns and seven heads, and upon its horns ten diadems"...

The nations of the earth are under the manipulative influence of the "harlot", Babylon the Great, being "drunk with the wine of her fornication".(Rev 17:2) Being a global false religious empire, she has "a kingdom over the kings of the earth"(Rev 17:18), allowing her to sit on "peoples and...

In order to grasp who Babylon the Great is in the book of Revelation, it is necessary to examine the empire of ancient Babylon. At Jeremiah 50, it calls ancient Babylon "a land of graven images".(Jer 50:38) Isaiah 46:1 names two of its gods - Bel and Nebo. At Daniel 5:4, it says concerning...

The fleshly nation of Israel would be chosen to be God's people because of a covenant (Abrahamic covenant) that God made with Abraham in 1943 B.C.E. when Abraham was 75 years old.(Gen 12:4) God told Abraham: "Go your way out of your country and from your relatives and from the house of your...

Why did God "sandwich" Revelation 16:15 concerning a person keeping awake and having his "outer garments" on between verse 14 that speaks of demons that goes "forth to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty" and verse 16...

Jesus will never be enthroned in literal Jerusalem, for on the night before he died, he told his eleven faithful apostles: "A little longer and the world will behold me no more, but you will behold me, because I live and you will live."(John 14:19) The apostle Paul further said that after Jesus...

After having caused the defection of both Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (Gen 3:1-6), Satan (meaning "resisitor") had no time agenda. The beginning of mankind (Adam was created in 4026 B.C.E.) was just now at the horizon. Satan took no note of God's timetable and of his eternal purpose...

The Bible counsels: "He that is walking with wise persons will become wise, but he that is having dealings with the stupid ones will fare badly."(Prov 13:20) Thus, choosing to associate with someone whom the Bible calls "stupid" will cause anyone to "fair badly." Bible scholar Adam Clarke...

Due to the trinity doctrine having been ingrained as "truth" from the days of Constantine in 325 C.E., it is has been accepted as "orthodox" by a great majority of those who call themselves "Christian". However, that Jesus is God is not found in the Bible. John 1:1 is often used in support...

At Daniel 1, the young man Daniel (possibly a teenager), along with his three Hebrew companions, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, were brought to Babylon in 617 B.C.E. by king Nebuchadnezzar. King Nebuchadnezzar was determined to "teach them the writing and the tongue of the Chaldeans."(Dan 1:4)...

Genesis 1:1 says: "In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth." And at Genesis 1:27, it says: "And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them." Thus, God "constructed all things"(Heb 3:4) and is our Grand...

God has a firm desire to forgive, for 2 Peter 3:9 says that "Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance." That God wants to forgive is noted at...

God did not just ' speak the words and things were created', as if they immediately came into existence when he spoke a command. At Genesis 1:1, it says: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." It is through his "word" that "the heavens and the earth" have been created, but...

What Jesus taught at the Matthew 6:9, 10, is yet to be fulfilled, but will be accomplished by the end of the "thousand year" reign of Jesus Christ.(Rev 20:6) Jesus taught his disciples to pray: "Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take...

It is more than interesting that a true Christian "place such a big emphasis on not having sex for the first time". When Satan told Jesus to turn stones into loaves of bread, Jesus, quoting from Deuteronomy 8:3, replied: "It is written, ' Man must live, not on bread alone, but on every utterance...

It is seemingly apparent that many young people, though considering themselves "Christian" and even going to a Bible College, have not understood what the word "fornication" means, nor "loose conduct." The failure of the churches to teach the Bible's meaning of fornication has caused many to...

That Jesus does not have a "dual personality", of being both God and man at the same time, is seen that the apostle Paul wrote that "there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus, "(1 Tim 2:5) This is an irrevocable statement. Paul further wrote to the Philippians...

According to your position on Jesus having a "dual personality", this places Jesus as being schizophrenic, or having a form of psychosis. That Jesus is not God, can well be attested by his own words. Jesus told the Jews "that I do nothing of my own initiative; but just as the Father taught me I...
