The prophet Daniel lays out an all-important timeline of seven years that marks the end of the age. During this period there are 3 specific revealings (Apokalupsis) that will take place. The first will be when a final Gentile ruler unifies a world government and then is revealed to be The Anti-Christ. Secondly, at the […]

2 Chronicle 34 & Jeremiah 36. How each Judean King responded to the Prophets determined so much. If they were proud and rejected God’s Word, they would forfeit blessing, protection & prosperity. If they humbled themselves and were correctable they would find such grace. This directly speaks to us as we sit under the Word […]

Ezekiel 37. Despite all of the persecution and trouble endured by Israel, a scarlet cord of hope runs through their history and all through the scriptures. Our hope as Christians is tied up together with the hope of Israel and we can rest knowing that He is faithful who has promised. We can rest in […]

Nehemiah 13:1-31. Christians must learn how to “shut the gates” on temptation, compromise and the enemy. Rather than set ourselves up for failure, we must plan for victory. This doesn’t happen by accident but by giving no place to the devil, resisting evil, making no provision for the flesh or by “shutting the gates” 

Nehemiah 12:1-47. What a spectacle it must have been! Two large thanksgiving choirs marched around the circuit of the wall, in opposite directions, meeting together at the temple. The voices, singing, cymbals, shofars & stringed instruments sounded out across the city. On this special day of dedication, recognizing what God had done, the rejoicing of […]

Nehemiah 11. As We consider how Israel-of-Old repopulated Jerusalem after many years of exile and rebuilding, we are reminded how important it was for them to keep God at the centre.

Deut 4:9-23. On the banks of the Jordan, on the Plains of Moab, a new generation gathered to hear Moses’ last farewell address before crossing over to the Promised Land. Moses had to prepare them for a new beginning, a fresh start, the next chapter. As we embark on a new year, we can find […]

In the opening chapters of Matt & Luke, several prophecies are noted to have been fulfilled around the time of the birth of the Messiah. In Matt 2 alone, 4 prophecies concerning geographical locations are wonderfully fulfilled. Oh, What encouragement and persuasion we find for our faith in these passages!

The last prophetical voice of the OT left us with a promise of a forerunner who would prepare the way for the Messiah (Mal 3:1, 4:5-6). 490 silent years left us waiting, until that silence was broken with an angelic visitation and the promise fulfilled. Luke opens with a flurry of angelic visitations and announcements […]
