  • The Coming Peace Plan

    The Coming Peace Plan

    From Daniel’s description of this new world leader, his rise to prominence will occur very quickly. The power that he will gain to enable him to unite the Israeli and Arab leaders to sign a peace treaty for “One Week”, an Old Testament catch phrase for seven years (Genesis 29:27), will come from the worlds ability to accept just such a man as a peace maker in a very short period of time.
    What events could propel a man onto the world scene so quickly and enable him to make peace with two nations so diversely apposed to each other, in a way that no other man has ever been able to accomplish?
    When I opened my Amazon Kindle Saturnday morning, to the news that President Barack Obama had won the coveted Nobel peace prize, I read with great interest.
    The similarities between his rapid rise to fame and the world’s acceptance of him as a great “savior” and that World leader described in Daniel chapter 9 were incredible.

  • Tebow Super Bowl Ad Leads Viewers to ‘God Story’

    Tebow Super Bowl Ad Leads Viewers to ‘God Story’

    The so-called controversial Tebow Super Bowl ad was not what people expected. There was no overt anti-abortion message, but only the demonstration of a loving and humorous mother-son relationship.
    In the ad, Pam Tebow against a plain white background holds a baby photo of her now 22-year-old son, Tim, and calls him her “miracle baby.”
    “He almost didn’t make it into this world,” Pam says. “I can remember so many times that I almost lost him.”
    She then goes on to say her son is all grown up but she still worries about his health.
    “[W]ith all our family’s been through, we have to be tough,” Pam says, when suddenly Tim tackles her.
    “Timmy!” she scolds, popping back up as if nothing happened. “I’m trying to tell our story here!”

  • Israel Prepares to Strike Iran from Gulf and N. Iraq

    Israel Prepares to Strike Iran from Gulf and N. Iraq

    Debkafile Iranian and military sources report the war threats from Damascus this week were backed by massive Iranian airlifts for boostingSyria ’s missile arsenal. Fresh supplies also reached the Lebanese Hizballah and Hamas in Gaza . Wednesday, Feb. 3, Syrian president Bashar Assad accused Israel of seeking war, while his foreign minister Walid Moallem boasted: “You know that war at this time will come to your cities.” They spoke after taking delivery of 100 new medium-range surface-to-surface missiles from Iran in January.
    Moallem’s threat was comprehensive: “….Syria calls on Israel to halt directing threats once against Gaza , another against South Lebanon, then Iran and now Syria .”
    His message that all four extremist allies had formed a mutual defense pact against Israel raised temperatures to a dangerous level in the region. Syria will not stand by idly next time round if Israel goes to war against Iran ’s nuclear program or an aggressive Hizballah or Hamas, but go for Israel ’s cities.

    Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)
    Don’t be anxious! Paul said there is nothing that should cause a child of God to worry. He was well aware of things that cause anxiety. His nation was occupied by a foreign army and ruled by corrupt leaders. He was writing from prison, where he was being held as a result of false accusations. He was separated from those he loved; his motives had been questioned, and he had been misrepresented. Some were trying to undermine all that he had accomplished in starting churches. He suffered physically and faced imminent execution (2 Cor. 11:23–29). Yet Paul said there would never be a crisis so troubling that God could not bring peace in the midst of it!

    Bible Study: Isaiah 27-28

    Now as you know in the original, there were no chapters or verses. In fact, in the original there weren’t even spaces between the words. So they had to first of all figure out where one word ended, and the next word began. There were no, the letters were just written without any spaces between. They were first translated and then later on, because people wanted to reference particular portions of the scripture, they separated them into chapters and verses, for convenience sake. So that you could look up a particular passage, say, “Oh that’s chapter twelve, verse nineteen.” You could look up a passage, because you had the passages divided into chapters, and verses. That’s just for convenience of reference. Rather than saying, “Well, it’s about the middle of Isaiah”, you know, and have to really search a long ways. It narrows down, and helps tremendously. But, though all scripture is given by inspiration of God, I do not know that that holds true for the separation of the chapters, and verses. That was something done by man, in order to aid a person in their study of the Bible, and in referencing various passages.

    But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin. (Romans 14:23)
    The writer of Hebrews reminds us that without faith it is impossible to please God (Heb. 11:6). Whenever God reveals something, He expects us to believe Him and adjust our lives accordingly. What does this mean? It means we trust Him implicitly for all of our needs because He says He will provide (Phil. 4:19). It means we approach crises with the assurance that God will bring good from them (Rom. 8:28). It means we overcome anxiety during stressful situations because God instructs us to bring our requests to Him (Phil. 4:6). It means that we never worry that we are alone because God said He would never leave us or forsake us (Deut. 31:6). It means that, despite what happens in our lives, we will never doubt God’s love because He has told us that He loves us with an everlasting love (Jer. 31:3).

    Bible Study: Isaiah 25-26

    Isaiah twenty five. In the last verse of chapter twenty four, Isaiah was looking forward to that glorious day, “When the Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before His ancients gloriously.” So looking forward to the wonderful kingdom age, when the Lord of hosts is reigning.
    Chapter twenty five is a response of praise to this marvelous event. As Isaiah now responds in his heart to this, to this glorious anticipation of the children of God. That day when God’s kingdom will come, and His will, will be done on this earth, even as it is in heaven.
    We cannot understand the purposes and the intent of God in the creation of the world, as we look around and see it today. You do not see a world that is in harmony with God. You see a world that is in rebellion against God, and is suffering the consequences of that rebellion. As you look around you cannot see God’s intention for man. For man is suffering as the result of sin, and the fallen nature.

    Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, (Hebrews 12:1)
    Sin is our most persistent, determined, and pernicious enemy. Sin seeks to rob us of every good thing God has designed for us. Paul tells us that sin brings death (Rom. 7:11). Yet it is very subtle. Sin creeps into our lives when and where we least expect it. It packages itself so attractively that we are lulled into thinking that it cannot really harm us (2 Cor. 11:14–15).

    Shall we turn now to Isaiah chapter twenty three, that we might continue our journey through the Bible. Chapter twenty three opens with the words…
    The burden of Tyre (23:1).
    Now the prophet has been dealing with several different countries, and that judgment of God that will be coming upon these different nations, as the result of this Assyrian invasion. Then, as a result of the later Babylonian invasion. Last week we saw the predictions upon Moab, or on Edom rather, the area of Idumea, and we saw the destruction that would come from Babylon upon the area of Saudi Arabia, as they moved down on the eastern side of the Jordan river.

    And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him. (Mark 1:36)
    Simon Peter is well known to us for his foolish, extemporaneous statements throughout the Gospels (Matt. 16:22; 17:4; 26:33). But Peter was always seeking after Jesus. Peter followed Jesus from afar during the night of Jesus’ crucifixion (Matt. 26:58). Peter ran to the tomb when he heard Jesus had risen (Luke 24:12). Peter swam in the sea in his haste to get to Jesus (John 21:7) and even walked on water in order to join Jesus (Matt. 14:29). Peter did not always say or do the right things, but he did constantly seek to be with Jesus. Because of this, he was continually encountering his Lord and growing to be a more faithful disciple.

  • Bible Study: Isaiah 21-22

    Bible Study: Isaiah 21-22

    Let’s turn to Isaiah chapter twenty one, as we continue our study through the word. In the twenty first chapter of Isaiah, he speaks of the destruction, first of all that is going to come upon Babylon, and then upon Edom, and then upon Arabia. This destruction will come from the Medo-Persian empire, and it will not come for another two hundred years. So he is prophesying of things that will take place some two hundred years in the future, when Babylon will fall to the Medo-Persian empire.
    Later on as we get to the forty fifth chapter of Isaiah, he will give us very intricate details of the fall of Babylon, and even name for us at that point, the Medo-Persian general who will conquer Babylon. So…
    The burden of the desert of the sea (21:1).

    And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:32)
    Jesus joins those who are earnestly seeking Him. Two men walked along the road to Emmaus discussing the confusing events that had just occurred_in Jerusalem. They thought they had understood the happenings of their day, but the death of Jesus had left them disoriented to God and His activity in their world. They had hoped that Jesus was the Messiah, but His_death had left them perplexed and discouraged. They needed answers.

  • Bible Study: Isaiah 18-20

    Bible Study: Isaiah 18-20

    Let’s turn now in our Bibles to the eighteenth chapter of Isaiah. In prophecy of scripture, there often times was a near, immediate kind of situation that was being addressed, but in a secondary sense, there was a prophetic foreview of the yet future. So many of the prophecies have, what we refer to as the dual fulfillment. That which would be happening in the immediate, and that which would be happening in the future.

    Now as far as the immediate, and the prophecies of Isaiah, in the immediate situation, at this period of history, Assyria was the world dominating power. It was during the time that Isaiah was prophesying that the Assyrians conquered over the northern kingdom of Israel. They had also conquered and moved their troops on down through, and into Saudi Arabia through Moab. They’d gone into Egypt, and they had conquered Egypt, and it, they had conquered Babylon. It was the dominant world empire of Isaiah’s day.

    For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)
    The only fear that God encourages in a Christian’s life is the fear of God (2 Cor. 5:10–11;_Heb. 10:31). Fear of people does not come from God. The problem is that many Christians fear people more than they fear God. Their fear hinders them from pleasing God because they waste their efforts appeasing other people. Timothy was a young man, timid by nature, and_probably not strong physically (1 Tim. 5:23). He knew of Paul’s frequent trials and persecutions. He knew that he, too, might suffer those same persecutions. Paul reminded his young colleague that fear of others does not come_from God.

    Shall we turn in our Bible to Isaiah chapter fifteen, as he deals with the burden of Moab. Now at this point it would be extremely helpful to have a Bible atlas, and to look at Moab on the bible atlas. Because he’s going to be throwing in a lot of foreign names that won’t mean anything to you, unless you could see them on a map and realize where they are in Moab. But let me try to help you a little bit. The area and the cities that he will be describing are for the most part, directly east of the Dead sea. The Nebo, and all are on the northern end of the Dead sea. Some of these cities are actually at the southern tip, and below the southern tip of the Dead sea. The river Arnon actually comes in right about the middle of the dead sea, all on the east side. So if you can, and if you have any idea of Bible maps, and geography, the land of Moab that it will be addressed here, is that which is directly east of the Dead sea, and then, slightly to the south of the Dead sea.

    To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven. (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
    The beauty in the way God designed the four seasons is that, though each one is distinct, they all work together to bring life and growth. Spring is a period of freshness and new life. Summer sees growth and productivity. Autumn is a time for harvesting the rewards of past labors. Winter is the season of dormancy and closure. Each season has its own unique beauty and makes a significant contribution to life.

    Bible Study : Isaiah 13-14

    Shall we turn in our Bibles to Isaiah, chapter thirteen, as we continue our study through the Bible. Now so much of Bible prophecy has what we refer to as a near, and a far, fulfillment. Many of the prophesies had an immediate, and addressed immediate situations. But in a secondary sense, they looked down the road, and there was a secondary prophetic aspect to what was being said. In the prophesies of Isaiah, we find so often this dual kind of fulfillment of the prophecy. That immediate and then, that far fulfillment that would take place.
    In the prophesies concerning Jesus Christ, we realize that there was that which was the immediate, or that which was to be fulfilled in His first coming, but also that which would be fulfilled in His second coming. Many a times, the prophesies, as they were given, were not really divided. So that issues of the first coming, as well as the second coming, were just bunched together.
