    1878

    The year 1878 was a turning point in the history of Israel. The land was in the hands of the Ottoman Empire governed from Turkey, but that empire was in decline especially following the Russo‑Turkish War from 1877 to 1878. This necessitated the Congress of Berlin in 1878 when Benjamin Disraeli...

    Christians Wake up!

    A great Light once came into a dark world. But it did not shine long: Jesus died on a cross. Soon afterward His disappointed friends were filled with joy at the news of His resurrection. They learned that He had given His life as a sacrifice for sins, and that His death was the basis for their...

    Where did Jesus go when he died?

    So, where did Jesus go when he died? Simple answer: Jesus didn’t go anywhere when he died. He was dead in the tomb. We read in Isaiah’s prophecy that Jesus “poured out His soul unto death,” that His soul was made “an offering for sin.” (Isaiah 53:12, 10.) Then again we read, “Thou wilt not...

    How to clean your heart from all evil thoughts

    This is a lifelong struggle. Evil thoughts come from the world when we see people hurting others, or in unholy shows, movies, magazines, sexual displays, etc. Popular songs present evil as good. Our own fallen flesh tempts us with evil. Finally, the devil seeks to destroy us with evil. We cannot...

    What is the battle of Gog and Magog in Revelation 20:8?

    “And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be loosed from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations which are at the four corners of the earth, that is, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. And they marched up over the broad earth...

    Israel ... did God change his mind?

    God promised the Jewish people a home, peace, and prosperity (2 Samuel 7:10-11) but then Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD. Jews were killed and tortured by Hitler, but Israel was re-established in 1948. Today, Jews are still oppressed. Did God change his mind? The unchangeableness of God is...

    Do Christians have a place in politics?

    Simple answer? No. The true footstep followers of the Lord Jesus are called to a "heavenly calling" (Hebrews 3:1), to the "high calling of God" (Philippians 3:13). Male and female Christians are running for the office of joint-heirship with Christ Jesus in His Kingdom. The Apostle Paul was one...

    Why is God letting evil things happen?

    The Bible teaches us how and why God's permission of evil all began. Beyond that the Bible teaches us there is hope: "The angel said to them, Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to ALL people." (Luke 2:10) God's plan of recovery is based on His son, Jesus...

    1 John 5:7-8 examined

    7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one. Please note: the middle parts of verses 7-8 are spurious...

    The Lesson of the Fig Tree

    In Matthew 24:32-34, Jesus gave a very important sign. “Now learn a parable of the fig tree: When his branch is yet tender and putteth forth leaves ye know that summer is nigh. So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily, I say unto you...

    The Rapture is not Biblical!

    The doctrine of the rapture is a Protestant addition to Futurist interpretations of the book of Revelation. It was not invented to scare people but evolved from the Roman Catholic Church’s attempts to suppress the Protestant Reformers in the 16th century. Martin Luther through intense study of...

    The persecution of Israel

    When God made His covenant with Abraham, He gave this promise: “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse…I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of...

    Acts 3:25 the Jews heirs of the covenant

    In Acts 3:25 we read: “And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring, all peoples of the earth will be blessed.’” This promise was given to Abraham in Genesis 22:18 and again to his son Isaac in Genesis 26:4. The...

    Genesis 6:11 and HAMAS

    In Genesis 6:11 we read: “Now the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth became full of violence.” In the Hebrew it reads: ותמלא הארץ חמס Which translates: And the earth was filled with חמס hamas. Let that sink in.

    "Changes that disturb people" - Jehovah's Witnesses, oh the irony

    Let me ask the Jehovah's Witnesses here a question. When the leaders of the Watchtower Society change doctrinal rules and organizational policies does it disturb you? Why or why not?

    Finding Peace

    Perhaps you have heard the saying, "No God, no peace, know God, know peace". This is a profound truth. True peace can ONLY be had by understanding, believing and fully loving God. The following texts are taken from NIV (New International Version). Job 22:21-22, “Submit to God and be at peace...

    "God’s right hand are pleasures forever"

    “You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Psalm 16:11 Whenever someone is at God’s right hand, it means that one is in a position of favor. In the Lord’s presence, no matter where we are, is fullness of joy. Let's...

    "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me"

    “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die.” John 12:32-33 In the twelfth chapter of John, Jesus is trying to prepare his disciples for his upcoming death. He explains that the work he was sent to do as the man Christ...

    Blood Transfusions

    The Watchtower Society teaches Jehovah’s Witnesses that blood transfusions are unbiblical. An inquiry made to the American Red Cross shows that one hundred people per thousand, or ten percent, need blood in some form every year. With the need for blood transfusions so great and with numerous...
