As The Chaos Dies

In this teaching we will go in depth on Balaam’s apocalyptic end of days oracles in Numbers 24.

These oracles are both messianic and eschatological. One of the focuses of the study will be on the conflict between the Messiah and Gog… Yes, Gog of Ezekiel 38 fame.

What does December 25 have to do with Christmas?

When did the wise men arrive?

What is the symbolic significance of Christmas trees?

In the message I will discuss these questions and more!

What really happened that first Christmas?

When was Jesus of Nazareth really born?

What does that have to do with 9/11?

How do we know this biblically?

In this message I will discuss these questions and more!

In this teaching I will go through the symbolism of the vision in The Apocalypse of Ezra 13:1-13. It has many touch points to other topics we have been discussing on the channel, including: the Cloud Rider, Two Powers in Heaven, the deity of Christ, the resurrection, the antichrist, and the war of Gog & Magog in Ezekiel 38-39.
