    God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

    Abraham was faithful to God in going to the land that God brought him to. Sarah, as grace, brought forth Isaac, as the promise to those who were not bound to the law. Isaac inherited the promise of the land without having to do anything but enjoy it. We also have inherited the promises of...

    You don't have to fall or stumble into sin

    SCRIPTURE: 'Now, to the one with enough power to prevent you from stumbling into sin and bring you faultless before his glorious presence to stand before him with ecstatic delight, to the only God our Savior, through our Lord Jesus Christ, be endless glory and majesty, great power and...

    I've seen a pattern and I think it relates to the Endtimes

    Abraham had two sons - Ishmael and Isaac. From Ishmael came 12 sons that became 12 nations. From Isaac came Jacob who had 12 sons that became the 12 tribes of Israel (one nation). What if the covenant God made to Abraham goes down both descendant lines. Isaac the Spiritual line to Jesus the...

    Adam - Abraham - Moses - Jesus

    Adam sinned/transgressed heavens law long before the Mosaic/covenant at Sinai was cut. The Mosaic covenant was cut/established with one nation only, Israel. Their purpose was to be a set apart nation of priests/mediators between God & mankind (Ex 19:6). The Sinai covenant was a marriage...

    Justification by Faith Evidenced in Old Testament

    Romans 4: 1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather humanly speaking, has found? [Has he obtained a favored standing?] 2 For if Abraham was justified [that is, acquitted from the guilt of his sins] by works [those things he did that were good], he has something to boast about, but...

    Elon Moreh in Genesis 12:6 - Oak, plain or valley

    Genesis 12:6 states that that Abram crossed to Shechem and elon Moreh - the latter nowadays translated as the Oak of Moreh. I was reading the Vulgate, and reaching this verse I found "convallem illustrem" - the famous valley. Seeing Shechem, I was intrigued by this famous valley, but found my...

    Abraham's Bosom and Awaiting God's Final Word

    Dear everyone, Just to clarify things first. The Holy Spirit's word gives us peace with God's plan for us all. With this being said I understand, personally, how final judgement (wherever and whatever the case is) will be in my Lord's hands. For advice and/or peace of mind.. I'm looking around...

    Prophecy....

    Let me say it straight out...Israel is NOT the entire point of Biblical prophecy...Jesus Christ is!! There are those who would elevate the land, nation and people of Israel to the prime position in God's word even though all of the promises of God to them are dependent upon their redemption in...

    Part 5 - Moses And The Nation Of Israel

    Many historical events happened between the time of Abraham and the days of Moses, far too many to mention here in this blog. However, through it all the Almighty God creator of heaven and earth was faithful to His people, the nation of Israel. It was during a time of great famine, the nation of...

    Hittites in Palestine

    Why are there Hittites in Palestine in the Biblical narrative, when the centre of their Empire rests in the Anatolian plateau and their rule never extended lower than Damascus? Yet in Numbers 13:29 they are described as living in the Judaean hill country, Abraham buys land from them at Hebron...

    Scripture Question - Genesis 22

    So, I'm doing a devotional bible study, and I'm reading the passage about how God tells Abraham to sacrifice his son Issac, and then stops him at the last moment. I understand the significance to Abraham. He needed to understand his priorities, that even the gifts God gave him could not come...

    The God Series. - Long-suffering.

    Long-suffering God said, “Where are you”? How many of us know that someone we have put our expectation in has purposely gone against our clear directives do we exercise patience; knowing they have no credible excuse or reason for their offense? For most of us, we would not only be angry but...

    Who is in control, us or God...or someone else?

    When God gave us free will, did He turn control over to us? Or what about the devil? Jesus Himself referred to satan as “the god of this world.” Psalm 139:2,4 tells us: “You understand my thought afar off…For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. But...
