I believe there are at least three occasions in which God the Father made an appearance in the Old Testament. 1 – Daniel Saw Him in a Vision. Dan 7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of... Continue Reading →
That’s right. This article is called the 6 Horsemen of the Apocalypse! I came across an article by J.C. O’Hair called “The Fifth Horsemen of the Apocalypse.” He makes the point that if you count the second rider on a white horse, the Lord Jesus Christ, then you have 5 Horsemen. I thought, “That’s hilarious.”... Continue Reading →
Consider day one of the Tribulation. The 144,000, the Two Witnesses, the Antichrist, the False Prophet – they all make their appearance on day one, and in this article, we’re going to go look at another event at the beginning of the Tribulation, the scene that will take place in God’s Throne Room. We might... Continue Reading →
At the midway point of the Tribulation, the antichrist establishes his global kingdom. How does he do that? After the Abomination of Desolation, he’ll be the most feared man on the planet. The Abomination of Desolation is more than just the dragon pouring out his fury onto the people of Israel, but it also sends... Continue Reading →
1 - Hermeneutics is Simple The first principle is that hermeneutics is simple. You don’t need to take a college course on hermeneutics. You don’t need to read a pile of academic textbooks on hermeneutics. You don’t need a scholar listing a bunch of theories so you can understand how to study your Bible. Hermeneutics...

You may recall an older article on the four beasts of Daniel 7 and that the fourth beast was the antichrist. We’re told he’s dreadful and terrible. He will make all the people of the world feel a range of emotions anywhere from fear to absolute terror. He is strong exceedingly, strong in every sense... Continue Reading →
You may have heard about the hullabaloo online last week. A very sweet saint posted a David Reid video on her timeline on Facebook. The new editor of the Berean Searchlight decided to leave this comment: “I’d be careful; KJV Only groups are very cultish. I’ve heard him say that you are an idiot if... Continue Reading →
Throughout Bible history, God always called upon His people to be strong, be of good courage, and have no fear. The Jews, when they reached the promised land saw the giants and after all the miracles God performed to free them, they refused to trust in God, and they all demanded to go back to...

Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Rev 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast,... Continue Reading →
666 is, arguably, one of the most symbolically rich numbers in the Bible. Bullinger would write, “666 is very far-reaching, and is filled with a meaning deeper, perhaps, than anything we have yet discovered. One thing, however, is certain, and that is, that the triple 6 marks the culmination of man's opposition to God in... Continue Reading →
Psa. 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Is this not a fascinating verse? "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." That's amazing! Does this verse remind you of anything... Continue Reading →
Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that... Continue Reading →
You might recall that in the first half of the Tribulation, there are two sets of seven judgments, 14 judgments of God in the first 3 ½ years of the Tribulation - the seals and the trumpets. The seventh trumpet is a big deal. The seventh trumpet is blown at the midway point. The seventh... Continue Reading →
Exo 15:11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? One writer called this verse “one of the loftiest descriptions of the majesty and excellency of God in the whole Scripture.” Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods?... Continue Reading →
In order for someone to feel comfortably convicted about justification during the Tribulation, I’d suggest that you need a good working knowledge about justification throughout the entire Bible. Consider the book of Genesis, which covers about 2,000 years of human history. God could have easily given thousands of books covering in detail so many aspects... Continue Reading →
People sometimes read my 5,000+-word articles and say, “Joel’s a bit wordy.” I don’t deny it. So, I’m going to start off the new year with a SHORT JOEL HAYES ARTICLE! That's right! It’s a miracle! Have you ever studied all the times Paul writes always? Because of all-sufficiency of the cross, because of the... Continue Reading →
I know how it can be. Christmas is here. Your crazy family is coming over. Oh, did I say “crazy?” In fact, I’ll bet “crazy” is an understatement for your family, am I wrong? They’re nutjobs. You love them, sure, but they will drive you up the wall at 100 mph before breakfast. You’ll be... Continue Reading →
Jeremiah means “exalted of the Lord,” or “established by the Lord.” He was the son of Hilkiah. Anathoth, his hometown, was in Benjamin, about three miles northeast of Jerusalem. The first time the word of the Lord came to young Jeremiah was when he was a child in the 13th year of the child King... Continue Reading →
Can you quote any words the Holy Spirit ever verbally spoke to someone in the Bible? We know from Paul that the Holy Spirit speaks. He said in 1 Tim. 4:1, “The Spirit speaketh expressly.” The Spirit speaks! He has a mind, an intellect, volition, will, emotions, and He has a voice. He speaks! In... Continue Reading →
In the book of Revelation, did John time travel into the future? Oh, yeah, man. This is gonna be EPIC. First, we must consider the big picture structure of the book of Revelation. In fact, I would be so bold as to suggest that there really is only one proper Biblical breakdown of Revelation. And... Continue Reading →
