In the Old Testament, there were three kings that governed the ancient unified nation of Israel: Saul, David and Solomon. Each of these three kings was progressively better than the other. Saul became king at the insistence of the people, which Yahweh reluctantly allowed. Later, David ruled and loved Yahweh so much, he was considered … Continue reading This Is A Brilliant Illustration Of The Wisdom Of Solomon
Why Was Abel’s Offering “Accepted” By Yahweh, But Cain’s Offering Was Not?
Of course, everyone knows the answer to this question, right? The familiar story of Cain and Abel, found in Gen. 4, tells us what happened. Cain farmed the land, or was a tiller of the ground, while Abel was a keeper of sheep (Gen. 4:2). Then, Cain brought fruit of the ground to make his … Continue reading Why Was Abel’s Offering “Accepted” By Yahweh, But Cain’s Offering Was Not?
Moses Lead The Israelites Out Of Egypt (But He Didn’t Take Them Across The Red Sea)
When we read the Bible, there are certain things we take for granted to be so well documented and so well understood, we believe there's absolutely no way we could be in error of such a historic event as the exodus out of Egypt. Yet, if we actually read the Bible, without bias or any … Continue reading Moses Lead The Israelites Out Of Egypt (But He Didn’t Take Them Across The Red Sea)

Yahshua Was Crucified, But That’s Not What Killed Him. (Wait…What?)
(Updated February 10, 2021) It's true. As I mentioned in a previous post, Yahshua had 100% control over the timing of his death, the day of his death and the method of his execution. While it's absolutely true that he WAS crucified, HOW he died was the result of something else, and this explanation can … Continue reading Yahshua Was Crucified, But That’s Not What Killed Him.

What’s In A Name? (Part 3) Or, What Does This Have To Do With The 3rd Commandment?
In two earlier posts, labeled Parts 1 and 2 of this topic, I explained how and why the name Yahshua had to legally be changed shortly after his death, to Yeshu, then eventually to our modern day "Jesus", and for 2,000 years, millions of devout people have been unwittingly praying to the wrong name.

Rev. 11:3--"And I will give power … Continue reading Who Are The Two Witnesses Of Revelation?
Are we all just Dopes? Or, is the American population Doped?
I recently learned that over 130,000,000 Americans take some sort of mind-altering medicine each day to cope with living their lives. With a population of nearly 330,000,000, that’s 2 out of every 5 people who take some sort of drugs, either legally or illegally. 132 MILLION people, dependent upon a chemical substance, just to live … Continue reading Are we all just Dopes?
