Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing

Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. Col 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward…

Angel of the Lord

What is the Angel of the Lord exactly? I’ll tell you exactly what He is. He’s elusive. Enigmatic. Mysterious. Was He an angel? Was He a Christophany? Both? In Gen. 16, we get the first mention of the Angel of the Lord. Of course, we know this story well. God makes a covenant with Abraham…

Cover Your Head Because of the Angels

1Co 11:10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. What is Paul talking about? First, commentaries about this verse have some of the most hilarious gobbledygook ever. I’ll start with Albert Barnes. Not a dispensationalist but occasionally, he’s insightful. This is what he writes about this…

In some secular fiction, one might come across a Grim Reaper character, which was death personified, usually depicted as black-robed skeleton wielding a sickle. He’s holding a sickle because a reaper is a harvester. He’s come to bring about the victim’s death and harvest that person’s soul, which plays into people’s fear of death. As…

That Pool at Bethesda

What are we to make of this angel that stirred up the pool of Bethesda, which healed the first one who jumped in? Joh 5:1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Joh 5:2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is…

Angels Ascending and Descending

Why did the Lord tell Nathaniel “ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man” and when did that happen? John 1:43-51 Joh 1:43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. Joh 1:44 Now Philip…
