This was the recent request of a friend who probably is somewhat fed up finding my posts, which he sees as often combining my views on religion (of a fundamentalist ilk) and politics (right wing) and not about those things he cares about and, in his opinion, so did Jesus.

Back to the Emmaus Road and introducing Christ in the prophets
Right now, I’m doing a deep dive into “Christ in the Old Testament” (see here and here), and have already written on what the Books of Moses have to say on the subject (see here and here), doing so from a prophetic, types and shadows and christophany perspective.
Continue readingThe first three chapters of the Bible are the most important
Recently, my thoughts have once again turned to the words of the Book of Genesis, especially the first three chapters and, that of all the passages in the Bible, this one may be the most significant. We find many great doctrines introduced, many to be elaborated in the rest of the Bible, right up to the very end. Despite, at least in the eyes of many of the skeptics and detractors, these contain much that is of a controversial nature, we do ignore the words to our detriment.

The story has been told of someone who has been waiting for a bus for a long time and then more than one turns up in a matter of minutes. I have this picture in mind as I write this my third earth shattering Trumpwatch episode in a month, noting that lots of huge significance has happened under Trump since being installed as POTUS only three weeks ago.

In Part 1 of our “Olivet Discourse series” (see here) we reflected on Jesus’ words concerning “The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times” and ended reflecting that given the nature of His “Fig Tree Generation” prophecy that those living at this time could be part of that generation. We continue in this Part 2, and consider “The Day and Hour Unknown and the Days of Noah” along with three parables concerning how we might prepare.

Strangely (or is it, given that God ever works in mysterious ways) an event that theologians have often referred to as the Olivet Discourse keeps coming onto my horizons, in particular that part of it that begins with the words: “Just as it was in the days of Noah”.

In a recent post (see here), I announced my intention to do a series on Christ in the Old Testament, which in the Hebrew Bible can be divided into three sections (Law, Prophets, Writings), referring back to two incidents recorded in Luke 24, following Jesus rising from the dead, when he told his bemused disciples how His life, death and resurrection were all foretold in the Old Testament.

This article concerns the character and significance of and the part to be played by the yet to be identified Antichrist, according to the scriptures, and in the light of current events.

I have just been reading “Confessions of a Toxic Perfectionist and God’s Antidote” and, unusually for me, managed to finish this very readable and relevant book in one sitting.
