    One other thing, if you can stomach it! Genesis 49:10,11. 'The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ***'s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his...

    According to the Gospels, Jesus entered Jerusalem just before Pesach, on the 10 Nisan, in what is described by commentators as the 'triumphal entry' into Jerusalem. I believe that this was the point at which the Pascal lamb was chosen and taken in. I also believe that the 10 Nisan that year was...

    Here are a few passages worth comparing: A Stranger: 'I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children' [Psalms 69:8] 'He came unto his own and his own received him not' [John 1:11; John 7:3,5] A Stumbling Stone: 'A stone of stumbling and a rock of offence to...

    Thank you. You've provided a helpful, concise, overview. As regards prophecy of the crucifixion of Jesus, I believe that all scripture is prophecy, and as such one can see Christ not just in explicit statements, but in 'type' and 'figure'. Here is a comparison of Genesis 22 with statements...

    Maybe l can set out a bit of background to the crucifixion of Jesus. As you well know, the 'Passion', beginning with Jesus' 'triumphal entry' into Jerusalem took place at the festival of Pesach, a festival of freedom from slavery. This is an important consideration given that Jesus came to...

    If l gave you one jigsaw piece, say one from a thousand pieces, the chances are that the individual piece would not immediately find a place in your puzzle. The big picture, God's picture, is the one into which our individual pieces fit. Only as the pieces connect to others does the bigger...

    Yes, l believe that the Christ of God is sent to crush the head of the Serpent. Was Jesus human? Yes, because he was born of a woman who conceived and was pregnant for nine months. How did Mary conceive, given that she was a virgin? She was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit, making her...

    While you're transitioning to the Elect, l'm happy to be counted amongst the humble and contrite in spirit. And, no, you won't find me talking about my 'religion' because faith in Jesus Christ is not a religion. Jesus Christ is a person, and is known to me personally through the Holy Spirit...

    The love of God has the power to unite in Spirit. Were you aware of this? I also follow scripture, but l allow the Holy Spirit to lead me. Here are some relevant scriptures: Isaiah 8:16: 'Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples'. The 'my' here refers to the LORD of Hosts. So...

    Jesus is born of Mary, whose father was Heli. The lineage follows the male line throughout Luke's genealogy. Therefore, Joseph is the husband of Mary, and son in law of Heli. The curse on Jeconiah was not lifted. Why would God contradict Himself? Jeconiah's seed never sat on the throne in...

    Since the books are the word of God, who do you imagine could have sealed them had it not been God the Father?

    Matthew 1:18 reads, 'Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost'. So, the conception of Mary took place during the time of their espousal, and it was an angel who told...

    I would say that God the Father sealed the book, and sent his Son to loose the seals.

    We've been here before, but allow me to restate the case. Matthew's Gospel gives us the royal line from Abraham and David, through to Joseph, the husband of Mary. Luke gives us Mary's ancestors through her father, Heli. This is the natural line through Nathan, the son of David. Follow Mary's...

    Some aspects of Genesis 3:15 have already been fulfilled. Jesus was born of a woman's seed, not a man's seed.

    You're correct in thinking that the battle continues until the day that Christ brings judgement. Psalm 110:1. 'The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until l make thine enemies they footstool'. The victory over death was won on the cross, but the victory was won by a single...

    I think it's important to understand that all 'seed' begins as a single seed, but when planted in the field it grows to produce its own fruit. Evil fruit grows from an evil seed, and good fruit from a good seed. From a single seed one gets multiplication. The Serpent, we are told, represents...

    Here's a blessing in reply. IMO, it's one of the most beautiful prayers ever spoken: Numbers 6:24-27. 'The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. And they shall put my...

    I have wept a river of tears listening to the truth. And, I'm quite sure that the heart knows when truth is spoken. Few have preached the message of truth more effectively than Billy Graham, IMO. [The last part is worship and adverts]

    People often wonder why it is that Christ's suffering is hidden in the Tanakh, and not stated explicitly. The answer is given by Paul in 1 Corinthians 2:7,8: 'But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of...
