Whether you are a big fan of the book of Revelation, ambivalent, or even a little skittish – you just must see this version of the Christmas story! It is nestled right in the middle of the book, chapter 12.

“Well, nobody’s perfect!”
I want to stress to you that, in my experience, the typical American believer is living at a much lower level, spiritually, than God intends for us. We’re aiming too low.

As I’m writing (June 2023) the U.S. is dealing with two major irritants: smoke has made a journey from wildfires in Canada down into eastern sections of our country and Pride events are ramping up, hot and heavy, throughout the land.

Looking at the moral debris and chaos of our culture is demoralizing. Nehemiah became the catalyst to solve the physical problem - the walls of Jerusalem. Our society’s decay can be reversed by a Great Spiritual Awakening; this calls for a catalyst.

They can make life miserable. Bullies. Although the bully has always been part of human life, in our time, there has been a heightened awareness of the damage caused by oppressors. Even the kid stuff is unacceptable and seems to be rampant. Unfortunately, it’s not limited to children. Some in our world derive a perverse joy from pushing around the weak.
There are many ideas available concerning the means of stopping this evil. I want to draw your attention to the Bible Book – Leviticus. There, we find our God’s preemptive commands to block bullying before it starts.

What an experience! Storms can be scary in their own right; but five miles from shore? That adds a new dimension. Waves, wind and spray pounded the twenty-five-foot fishing vessel. The seasoned crew knew the lake; thus, they understood the tight-rope they were inching across.

I imagine familiar with movie genres like “The Exorcist.” The thought of Satan being in control, Satan on-the-loose in a person or family is frightening.
What if I told you that there is a relatively simple means to “invite” the devil to participate with you in your family and daily life?
Note this passage of scripture: “Be angry and do not sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your anger, and don’t give the devil an opportunity.”
The evil one is right at home with resentment and vengeful thoughts! The Greek word translated “opportunity” or “foothold” is ‘topos;’ from which we derive our word ‘topography’- the work of map-making.
he Purpose of the Book of Revelation: Comfort and Encouragement for Persecuted Believers.
May 14, 2018 marked the 70th anniversary of the founding of the modern nation of Israel. Much end-time prophetic teaching has hinged on that date; and the time span that would define a generation. Expectations have been raised since my teenage years (the 70’s) that Jesus would appear soon and take his church home via the rapture.
Just how long is that generation? What about the prophetic time clock? Inquiring minds want to know!

What if I told you that Saddam Hussein gave us evidence that the Bible is true? Incontrovertible evidence.
He didn’t mean to do it. His goal was to glorify himself. Saddam’s failure exhibits the predictive genius of our God for all who are willing to investigate. We’ll come back to Saddam soon; let’s begin with God.
Here is his bold assertion: “I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come.” (Isaiah 46:9, 10)
