THE BOOK OF MALACHI Lesson 3, Chapter 1 Continued As Malachai represents the last of the Old Testament Prophets and the Old Testament Prophet system and era, it probably isn’t surprising that we find ourselves staring at monumental and complex God-principles that appear, but which come with no explanation.

THE BOOK OF MALACHI Lesson 1, Introduction As with all the other Hebrew Bible prophets (that is, the so-called Old Testament prophets), Malachai speaks not only to the wayward Hebrews of his era, but rather to all people of all eras. I think, as I look around at the place and trajectory of world events […]

THE BOOK OF ZECHARIAH Lesson 33, Chapter 14 Conclusion Just as the viewpoint of the biblical Creation Story is earth-centric as though someone was standing on earth to record God’s process of Creation, so as Zechariah winds down the viewpoint reduces further to Jerusalem-centric. Earth, so far as we know, is the cosmic center of […]

THE BOOK OF ZECHARIAH Lesson 32, Chapter 14 Continued We’ve worked our way to this final chapter of Zechariah, and last week paused at verse 8.

THE BOOK OF ZECHARIAH Lesson 31, Chapter 14 Christians have traditionally looked primarily to the Book of Revelation for their guide on End Times matters and information about the return of Messiah. In addition, we find other New Testament books like Matthew, Luke, John, and Thessalonians, which seem to provide additional, but sparse, reference to […]

THE BOOK OF ZECHARIAH Lesson 30, Chapters 13 and 14 Whenever we get deep into studying a Bible book… especially so as concerns an Old Testament book… it is important that we occasionally back away from it, float up to the 30,000-foot altitude in our hot air balloon, and take a panoramic view so as […]

THE BOOK OF ZECHARIAH Lesson 28, Chapters 12 and 13 We paused in Zechariah 12:10 last time. As a mini-refresher, this entire chapter is about an attack on Jerusalem by the nations. The way the Bible uses the term “the nations” always means gentile nations. And, that always means every nation on earth except for […]

THE BOOK OF ZECHARIAH Lesson 27, Chapter 12 Continued Before we re-open the amazing, mysterious, informative, complex Zechariah, I want to spend some time with a subject that is greatly entangled within its pages, which is also in some ways the elephant-in-the-room for Bible students, and for those that haven’t notice it yet, it ought […]
