Many times God tells us that He is a jealous God. (See Exodus 20:5; 34:14; Deuteronomy 4:24.) Since God married Israel at the foot of mount Sinai, God considered the nation to be His wife. But when God's wife played the harlot by going after foreign gods, they made God jealous. Israel made...

Let's talk about that Love for a minute. The creation itself groans today under the oppression of sin, and it anxiously awaits the manifestation of the sons of God (Rom. 8:19). Not only mankind, but everything in creation will be affected by the righteous act of Jesus Christ. Even as Adam...

In Isaiah 45:23 God says, “I have sworn by Myself [by my own name] . . . that unto Me every knee will bow and every tongue will swear allegiance to Me.” This is quoted by the apostle Paul in Phil. 2:10, 11, saying, “ at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and...

Beginning in Romans 11:17, Paul begins to explain how some of the "branches" of the Kingdom Tree were broken off and how other branches were grafted in. 17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of...

Paul tells us in Rom. 5:12, 12 through one man [Adam] sin entered into the world, and death [mortality] through sin, and so death spread to all men, on which all sinned. In Romans 5, Paul was telling us that sin entered the world through Adam and that Adam's sin was then imputed to all...

Vengle, I know exactly what you are saying and I agree to a certain extent. God has callings for certain nations and individuals for His purpose. Every- thing God does is for His Will. Let me explain. Romans 9:4 & 5 makes it clear that there is great benefit in being a physical Israelite...

The point I’m trying to make is… physical Israel was used to bring salvation to the ethos (nations). That was the whole plan of God. Hosea gives us the layout so we can look back and see the purpose of God marrying physical Israel. God knew Israel was going to rebel so; He used their...

Thank God for physical Israel… Israel was cut off as a nation (Jezreel), utterly taken away, or removed (Lo-ruhamah), and no longer God's people, or God's wife (Lo-ammi). This is confirmed in Hosea 2:2, 2 “plead with your mother, plead; for she is not My wife, neither am I her husband.”...

I like that Insight... you sound like you have eyes to see and ears to hear... and I don't mean physically. Those people of Judea in Jesus' day who rejected Jesus and the New Covenant, choosing rather to remain in the Old Covenant, were identifying with Hagar and Ishmael in Arabia. They were...

22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondwoman, the other by a free woman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. This makes it clear that Ishmael was born after the flesh, while Isaac was born by promise...

Who is a Jew? In Romans 2:28, 29 Paul tells us who IS a Jew and who is NOT a Jew. God's answer to this question cannot be obtained by looking at one's genetics, but by the lawful requirements of citizenship in a tribe of Israel. This shows how those Jews who accepted Christ and all others...

The law could save no one, not because the law was faulty, but because man was incapable of attaining to its righteous standard. The law manifested the righteousness of God, but mortal man was incapable of attaining to such a high standard of morality by the force of his own will. For this...

1st Corth. 15:32 says, 32 If from human motives I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what does it profit me? Paul wasn’t actually fighting with lions, tigers, and bears, but he was fighting with carnally minded men that didn’t understand the Truth. In 2nd Peter 2:12, 12 But these, like...

The soul is the focal point of the problem of sin. The soul is the natural mind, or carnal mind, which we received as part of our inheritance from Adam. It is thus also the seat of death, or mortality. The spirit has a mind, just as the soul has a mind. They each have their own...

Most Christians understand that God wants them to be obedient. Some mistakenly make obedience a prerequisite for salvation (justification), and this puts them under the bondage of trying to be good enough to merit salvation. That view is held by those who do not know the difference between...

The idea that God cannot do something, or that God is limited in His ability, is fairly common among Christians. Many think that God's ability to act is limited by man's “free will.” People often think that God either cannot override man's will or that He is incapable of making man change...

The New World Order is soon to become the Old World Order. Our captivity to Babylon is almost finished. We are entering a new system that has two tiers to it: First, Medo-Persia (Dan. 5:28), also called "the kings of the east" (Rev. 16:12), and secondly, the Stone Kingdom which has Christ...

Beloved One... that is a good thing... but we need to understand we are in a battle. We need to put on the whole armor of God. What for? So we can learn how to die. Everything God Loves... He put's to death—first Jesus Christ, and then all others— in order that we might become one with Him and...

Luke 16 was a parable... you can't take that literally. Jesus was speaking about the Jews who were going to reject him. The rich man was the Jews who had all the promises from the Old Covenant, they were clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day... so the rich man is...
