    What purpose is God carrying out during the Millennial Kingdom?

    Many believers do not have a passing thought about the Millennial Kingdom, so let's get started with some basics: We see the timeline of this 1000-year reign of Messiah in Revelation 20:4 - 6 "Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of...

    The Rapture will happen in the middle of the Tribulation

    Those who hold the pre-tribulation rapture position, usually site 1 Thessalonians 5:9 "For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ" But this verse cannot possibly refer to Christians suffering here on earth, because Christians have been...

    Who were the 144,000

    The 144,000 may have been tasked with evangelizing the earth, but there is nothing in the text of Revelation that would suggest this. Certainly, there is no literary tie between the 144,000 and the multitudes of saints that came out of the Tribulation in Revelation 7:9, 10. Both of these groups...

    The Heavenly Tabernacle

    I’m working on my 4th book called, “The Heavenly Tabernacle” in which I’m advocating a new, or let’s say “less explored” grand theme of the book of Revelation. So many Bible scholars and students of eschatology focus on the unraveling mysteries; such as the meaning of the number 666, or who...

    How did Solomon’s temple picture the purification process of man?

    It has been suggested the Solomon’s temple was designed to represent the body of a man. See “Atrophic Temple” http://www.templemount.org/badillo/index.html If this in fact was the designers intention, it would not have been an innovative representation in ancient times, as the Great Pyramid...

    How the Kingdom of God is a Rock?

    I was just reviewing the story in Daniel 2 about Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of a giant statue. Most who read this story get caught up in trying to interpret the vision of the statue in eschatological terms, but what really caught my eye this time around was the rock that struck the statues base...

    Was Jacob's ladder really a tree?

    I have a hunch that Jacob's ladder In Genesis 28:12 really should be translated as “tree”. The Hebrew term is “cullam” and only appears this one time in all of scripture, but it comes from the root word “calal” which means to lift up or exalt – once again not really very helpful, but the very...

    Two Trees in the Garden

    The Bible starts with 2 trees by a river, and ends with 2 trees by a river. The tree’s dimensions penetrate every realm of God’s creation – branches to heaven, shades the earth, roots down to the abyss. Sin came to humanity as man partook of one tree, and we were expelled out of the Garden...
