God reveals the kingdoms of men as beasts of the earth. Beasts like a “Lion with eagle’s wings” (7:4), “a bear… with ribs in its mouth” (7:5), “a leopard, which had four wings on its back…” (7:6); then, a fourth beast “dreadful and terrible”. These beasts represent human governments which the LORD was showing Daniel …
It is a sad thing when the heart of God’s people grow cold toward Him, His word, His ways, His Son Jesus, and His Spirit. That was a very prominent thing in the land of Israel and Judah. They had grown away from God. Still maintaining their worship ritual, without heart for God; giving Him …
“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, and from the words of My roaring? O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear; and in the night season, and am not silent. But You are holy, O You that inhabits the …
There have been plenty of sorrows, pains and trials in my life; and in the lives of people I know and love. I am sure most people reading this and all who are not would admit to having their share of trouble, pains, and sorrows in this life. No one goes through life without them. …
Esther is a book which does not even mention the name of God; the GOD of Israel; the LORD God of hosts. Yet when you have eyes to see, and ears to hear you will see Him fully at work in the lives of His people and the nations. There have been, and are protests/riots …
Sometimes we people of the human race do things we do not exactly want to do or like to do to survive. Abraham left the Promised Land of Canaan when a famine came, and Hagar came back with him and Sarah (Genesis 12:10-20). Look at the heartaches, and sorrow that has brought on us all. …
What happens when we do not fear God? Do we really want an answer? I will answer it. We will fear everything else, and be crippled by that fear even though there is only a perceived notion, or a shadow in the darkness ahead. BOO! This is something the LORD has been revealing to me …
The title is a question many people down through human history have asked. Yes, I have as well. This was a question Jeremiah the prophet was asking in the text you will read in a moment. Many of the Old Testament prophets asked the question. Habakkuk asked it in his prophecy chapter 1; and Malachi …
"Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool: where is the house that ye build unto Me? And where is the place of my rest? For all those things hath Mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I …
"Yet now hear, O Jacob My servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen: thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; fear not, O Jacob, My servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods …
"And the heavens shall praise Thy wonders, O LORD: Thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and …
"When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done. They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the …
"And there shall come forth a Rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: and the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; …
"Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to say, My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?" Matthew 27:45-46 (KJV) On this day called "Good Friday" we …
"Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth’s sake. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of …
