Eph. 6:12 - For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. The first and most important step in waging our spiritual warfare is to know your...

To fully understand our relationship with God we must realize that He is the author and creator of our emotions and He has emotions towards us. What are His emotions? Let’s try an experiment! Take out a pen and a piece of paper. Now I’m going to ask you a question and I want you to write down...

Aspen first brought up this subject in another post. As this deals closely with successful spiritual warfare, I thought it would be timely to offer my thoughts on the subject as well. This post is a little lengthy but, imo, the subject matter is important enough to take the extra time. I hope...

A while ago, God had me do some research into spiritual warfare. The following articles written in book style are the results of my studies. I hope you will find some useful tools in your daily and future battles with evil and that these studies will bless and encourage you. Introduction...

Let's try and narrow our focus a little bit. Dan. 9:27 – “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the...

Many people believe that the temple described in Ez. 40-44 is a prophetic picture of a third temple to be built in Jerusalem at the beginning of the millennium. Let’s face it, God isn’t going to give them plans for a third temple before a second one was built. This is the design for their second...

What's with all the annoying pop-up ads lately? They are an aggravation and one of the reasons I don't use facebook. I appreciate the desire to add to your income but there has to be a better way, imo. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.

What is it? Who is it? These are some of the questions we ask when we try to determine exactly what this is. Based on my studies, I think the only thing it can be is a statue/image of the “man” who will be known, in Christian circles as the anti-Christ. Let’s see what the bible has to say about...

If you really want to understand Dan. 9:24-27 then one must drop all their metaphorical thinking, mystical whimsies and thoughts like “well, in a manner of speaking…” and just deal with the cold, hard facts. Dan. 9:24-27: (words in parenthesis mine) 24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy...

How does one start a poll?

If you were to consider the biblical prophecies as mostly symbolic, than I understand why a person could get frustrated trying to understand things that could have a myriad of possibilities to their fulfillment. Personally, while acknowledging some symbolism is used, I believe in taking the...

What gets me is how people can read verses like…: Matt. 24:24 - "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." …then turn around and believe that a blood-thirsty...

The Old Covenant was: Instituted at Sanai - Ex. 19:5 - “Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession.” Ratified by Sacrifice - Ex. 24:6-8 - “Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and the other half he sprinkled on the...

Seventh Day Adventists and Messianic Jews are two of the many denominations that erroneously teach that proper Sabbath Keeping is vital to ones' salvation. They believe in observing the Sabbath the traditional Jewish way which begins at sundown on Friday and ends at sundown on Saturday and...

What do y'all think about the supposed ancient Egyptian style artifacts that the Mars rover has been taking pictures of? Hoax? Unknown history? Aliens? or any other suppositions?

Here is a list of the verses that are known as a “thief in the night” verse. Many use these in their argument for a pre-trib rapture or the theology of imminence regarding the timing of the return of the Lord. If the focus of these verses were a message to “watch for Christ” then several...

HEAVEN There has been a discussion lately on the reality of heaven. I’ve been taught that heaven is the believer’s eternal home and the earth is for the living and in a way, that’s true and (much to my surprise) in a way, it’s not. While pondering this issue and seeking guidance from the Lord...

Why should the church endure the great tribulation? I believe I can answer this question through God's word. "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." I think it's safe to assume that the whole bible is God's message to the church in one way or another via 2 Tim...

Why I believe in the Harpazo! (I really mean the rapture but I don’t want to ruffle any feathers :ph34r: ) Some people deny the harpazo simply because they deny many of the false doctrines that can accompany the word, but that’s like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. One can’t deny...

This verse hasn’t made sense to me for a long time. It just seemed out of place. It’s placement in the book of Rev. seemed illogical because I always assumed it was speaking of the rapture. I was discussing this with a post-tribber but it really doesn’t fit in with the post-trib scenario either...
