The big secret that no one wants to put into print is the fact that the Assyrians continued to call Israel by the name of Omri (Ghomri) even after the nation was destroyed and the Israelites deported to Assyria. This name did not disappear from history, nor did the people of Israel. They were...

The divine law tells us that we are responsible to take care of lost sheep until their owner comes to claim them. It is found in Deut. 22:1, 2 says,1 You shall not see your countryman’s ox or his sheep straying away, and pay no attention to them; you shall certainly bring them back to your...

Israel was the name that the prophets gave to the northern ten tribes, as distinct from Judah. When the northern house of Israel was conquered and deported by Assyria, they took the birthright with them into captivity. There is no place in Scripture where God says that Judah would replace the...

Men have a history of disagreeing with God when He decrees judgment for sin. Usually, they end up blaming the devil, because they cannot believe that God would actually put His people into captivity to an ungodly beast system. Such people do not understand the mind of God. The Bible is full of...

Jeremiah 27-28 tells the story of how God told the prophet to put a wooden yoke across his neck and walk around the city of Jerusalem as a witness of God's judgment. If the people would submit to the wooden yoke, then they would be allowed to remain in the land to serve their 70-year...

One of the most important prophetic time cycles is the period of 2,520 years, or "seven times" (7 x 360 = 2,520).Daniel and Revelation generally deal with half of this time period, which is 1,260 "days" or 42 months (42 x 30). This can be shown by comparing Daniel 7:25 with Rev. 13:5. A "time...

Daniel 9:24 speaks of a 70-week period of time leading to the work of the Messiah in the context of the old Jerusalem. This is not 70 weeks in the sense of seven-day weeks, but rather, weeks of years--that is, sabbath rest years. Seventy rest years is a period of 490 years, which shows to be...

Great post Kim...I will comment tomorrow night. Littletired and I have to go to work early in the morning.Logabe

Qualifying for remnant status is not a matter of works, no matter how good those works are. You will not qualify by working miracles, or by spending long hours in prayer daily, or by disciplining yourself to read the Bible for many hours a day. Miracles are good, and it is even better to pray...

If you are one who aspires to be a part of the remnant who will not be sold into bondage at the end of this age, you must know and practice the law of Jubilee in your own personal life. If not, you will be sold into a kind of captivity, and like Israel under Moses, you will "die in the...

As I said earlier, this parable in Matthew 18 is a Kingdom parable. No doubt Jesus had Jerusalem in mind when He gave this parable, because the servant who owed 10,000 talents fits precisely with the way God dealt with Jerusalem in Jeremiah's day.Six hundred years before Christ, when the king of...

Matthew 18:35,35 So likewise shall My heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.Jesus was not really talking about monetary debts, but about "trespasses," or sins. This is one of many New Testament passages where we see how sin is...

Speaking nationally, when Babylon conquered Jerusalem, the nation "died." The edict of Cyrus, in effect, brought the nation back to life again in 534 B.C. That was a momentous event, not unlike a national Resurrection. However, the law of God yet demanded a period of cleansing before they could...

We will get back to Paul later...let's go backto the beginning.When Xerxes I died in 465, his son took the throne. Artaxerxes I reigned 41 years, dated by Persian reckoning as 464 (his first year) to 424 B.C., the 41st year of his reign. This king is important to us, because Ezra 7:7 tells us...

Daniel's 70 weeks is actually ten Jubilees. A Jubilee cycle is 49 years, followed by the Jubilee YEAR, which is the 50th year. But that 50th year is also the first year of the next Jubilee cycle, even as it is the first year of the next "week" (sabbath land-rest cycle).Thus, ten Jubilees is not...

The function of the divine law is to give us basic principles and guidelines that are written down and applicable to all men. We are then admonished to be led by the Spirit, so that we may come to understand the mind of God and learn to apply those written principles properly. Israel under Moses...

An overcomer is one who is in agreement with God. Agreement is the most important ingredient of a New Covenant marriage depicted by Sarah, the freewoman.In Galatians 4:22-31 the apostle Paul speaks of the two covenants as being depicted by Hagar and Sarah—that is, the bondwoman and the...

Being a forgiver is a basic requirement to be an overcomer. But forgiving others can be done out of compulsion, if a Christian does it merely because he knows that God requires it. In other words, it might be possible to forgive without actually agreeing with God in the matter. Likewise, a...

Meanwhile, there was something of a "revival" taking place not far away in Antioch. The Jerusalem church sent Barnabas there to help and to obtain news. Barnabas then felt constrained to go to Tarsus to bring Saul out of obscurity to Antioch. Saul's testimony was felt to be important and...

I mentioned earlier that Daniel's 70 weeks have two beginning points and two endpoints. The cycle began first in 458 B.C. when King Artaxerxes of Persia sent Ezra to Jerusalem in the 7th year of his reign. This cycle ended in 33 A.D.The second beginning point was in 445 B.C., which was the 20th...
