Those who attain this second level of blessedness are freed from iniquity as well as sin. While we often lump “sins and iniquities” together as though they are the same thing, there exists a significant difference between the two. Persons on the Zion/Jerusalem level, for example, receive God’s forgiveness of their sins but must still […]

“Thus says the Holy One of Israel: Because you have rejected this word, and rely on manipulation and double dealing, and on them are dependent, this iniquity will be to you as a perilous breach exposed in a high wall which suddenly and unexpectedly collapses. It shall shatter with a crash like an earthenware vessel

(Preface to Endtime Prophecy) How long shall the Judeo-Christian world labor under misrepresentations of the truths of God and believers still remain oblivious? Have current religions produced the visions of God and angels the ancients experienced that we read of in holy writ? If not, shouldn’t their shepherds question whether the grass really is greener

Question: I’m curious about Isaiah’s description of Judea’s and Jerusalem’s deprivation of “both staff and crutch—all food supply and water supply” in Isaiah 3:1. Where will the staff and crutch be deprived? Is it safe to assume it is here in the U.S.? We can see the lack of leadership Isaiah describes in the same

According to Isaiah, God raises up his servant when the world is spiraling in a spiritual downturn—when God’s people are buying wholesale into the ideology of Babylon. Isaiah’s ministry was a type of that scenario. So was the time before the Flood, when wickedness and violence prevailed throughout the earth. At that time God destroyed

“In that day the Lord will thresh out [his harvest] from the torrent of the River to the streams of Egypt. But you shall be gleaned one by one, O children of Israel. In that day a loud trumpet shall sound, and they who were lost in the land of Assyria and they who were

Where do we suppose believers will learn what is next in line for them and this nation? As they don’t hear this from the pulpit, there must be another way the Lord has provided for his end-time people. We know he gives no commandment unless he prepares a way to keep it—and that “he speaketh

Question: I’m having difficulty with how to respond to people who judge the general authorities of the church based on what the scriptures are saying about our day, and also how to respond when I see the church, its representatives or affiliates withholding the same privileges they give to others from those who search the

“Jehovah of Hosts [spoke this] in my hearing: Surely many buildings shall lie desolate, large and fine [houses] unoccupied.” (Isaiah 5:9) “Poor wretch, tempest-tossed and disconsolate! I will lay antimony for your building stones and sapphires for your foundations; I will make your skylights of jacinth, your gates of carbuncle, and your entire boundary of

In a day when searching and understanding the scriptures and prophecies of our day becomes a life-or-death issue—when the times become such that it is all men can do to separate the truth from an ever mounting onslaught of falsehoods—why are people still ensconced in worldly pastimes and trust in human institutions as sources of

It was in the context of his people’s lost and fallen state that the redemptive role of Israel’s God as their Savior and King awakened in their consciousness. When they prospered in the Promised Land, his people gave little thought to the need of a Savior. Many even forgot their heavenly King. Only after they

The Lord, in the scriptures, comes down hard on those who put other men on pedestals—as if somehow they are more than human—worthy not just of respect as with all men, but of adulation and kowtowing. Says he to these benighted souls, “Let no man glory in man, but rather let him glory in God,
