Honoring the King of Heaven

For the most part chapter four of Daniel is the writing of Nebuchadnezzar, sharing his personal testimony of a tragic, yet humbling, and redeeming time of his life and reign as king of Babylon.  He had grown proud and arrogant (4:28-30), and the King of heaven brought him down. The following are the final words …

Captive and Useful

Whether we Christians would like to admit it or not we are strangers in a foreign land.  That does not matter what part of the world we live in.  We are both citizens and captives in our respective countries, and lands. We are citizens of nations, because we are in the world.  We are captives …

The Law of the Temple

"Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern. And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the …

What God Has Said

In the book of Ezekiel and chapters 37 - 40 and following are writings of prophecy which have yet to happen.  There is no portion of fulfillment.  All are to be fulfilled at a later day in time. If you are fearful of the many of the events in our world.  There is no need …

Sticks: Joseph and Judah

We have been looking at the prophecy of Ezekiel.  Ezekiel was a captive in Babylon when he was given this prophecy.  He spoke much of the nation's return to their homeland, but it would not take place until after a period of 70 years.  In the Scripture and prophecy for today's study we see a …

The House of Israel

There are so many who are telling us that God is finished with Israel.  That they are no longer God's chosen people or nation.  However, for someone to say that they are going against both the Old Testament prophecies, and the teachings of the New Testament as well. Look at this prophecy through the prophet …

I The LORD Have Spoken…

There use to be a commercial on television of a financial firm called E. F. Hutton where in the midst of noisy crowds or other noises and such, a man would speak and all would get quiet.  Then, a voice would say, "When E. F. Hutton speaks, people listen".  I do not know if I …

A Gap to Stand In

Probably not the most profound title.  Maybe not even a catchy one, but it is a title - "A Gap to Stand In".  So let us stand in the gap. "Her priests have violated My law, and have profaned Mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they …

Fire in the Forests

No!  This is not dealing with the devastating, and catastrophic wildfires out West.  This is not dealing with any fires of our day.  The fire of the forests of our text have to do with God's judgment upon Judah; and I do believe this nation called the United States of America needs to wake up …

Why Will You Perish?

I hear people ask, "Why would a loving God send people to hell?"  My answer has been, "He does not".  Some who hear my answer and ask then, "Do you not preach that sinners go to hell?" or something along that order of thought.  Of course I do believe  in hell.  I believe in hell …

I Will Remember MY Covenant

"Nevertheless I will remember My covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant. Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by …

Not Said in Vain

There are many phrases used throughout the prophecy of Ezekiel.  "Son of man" how the LORD speaks to Ezekiel, an endearing term for him; another phrase used a little less often is "They, [we],or [you] shall know that I am the LORD".  That is the one to which I write today. I have noted that …
