Abraham's faith and justification through it (believing God's promises despite contrary circumstances) was manifested 430 years before Moses' law. And it is written that God in Christ made a covenant with Abraham 430 years before the law to be Abraham's God and of his seed after him. The law was add...

Wood, Hay, and Stubble
I agree with, and have also held to this interpretation. It is so often misquoted. "When you pass through the fire thou shalt not be burned." "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you." Also in the parable of the sow...

TIME, TIMES, AND 1/2 A TIME
How many ways can things be measured? Distance, weight, and time are three ways that things can be measured. The bible speaks of measurement metaphorically also. "Thou art weighed in the balances and found wanting", "with what measure you measure you shall be measured", "What is the length and bread...

Son's of God set against God
Something note worthy is that in Hebrew it uses the word l'hit-yat-sayv al (to set against as opposed to "present themselves") which is the same expression used in psalm 2 where it is translated the kings of the earth set themselves......against the LORD and against his Christ. Thus This passage in ...

shcool master
Here are a few thoughts I've had related to the law being a school master. Let us go back to the promise given to Abraham of having children as the stars for multitude. His circumstances of being old and childless, as well his wife's age spoke against the promise. God gave him the promise then let t...

The measurements of Ezekiel
I like to think of these measurements metaphorically. Measurement is a type of judgment. "With what measure you mete it shall be measured to you again." Eight chapters at the end of Ezekiel containing all the judgments/measurements pertaining to the kingdom of God would surely make the unrighteous "...

666
These are some thought s I've had about the #666. The amount of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold 1 Kings 10:14. This is a measure of weight. The golden idol that Nebuchadnezzar set up was 60 cubits x 6 cubits. This is a linear measurement. Both are measurements of gold. ...

The beast of Revelation 13.
I think that this beast is often looked at as something that will rise up in the end of days. Consider that what John saw is the same thing that Daniel and Nebuchadnezzer saw which was Babylon in its entire historical existance, beginning to end. Neb sees it as one image with 4 metals which correspo...
