A servant of God is part of God’s household and he works to serve his master. The nation of Israel were considered servants of God. Hebrews 3:5, “Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s household.” God gave the Law to Israel to teach them their need for a savior. Galatians 3:24 (NIV), “So […]
No where in the Bible is an angel identified as a female. The Bible does not give us much information about angelic life in heaven. It doesn’t tell us about angelic genders or even angelic names. In fact, when Jesus was talking to Nicodemus, Jesus refused to discuss heaven. John 3:12 (NLT), “if you don’t […]
Friends agree with each other. Amos 3:3 (NLT) reads, “Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?” Friendship depends on shared values, behaviors, and goals.

Summary: Some Christians believe that Daniel 9:27 refers to a future 7 years of tribulation. This is a misinterpretation of prophetic scripture. Instead, Daniel 9:27 refers to the end of meaningful sacrifices under the Jewish law and the desolation of Israel and Jerusalem after Messiah’s death. Explanation: Consider the whole context of Daniel chapter 9. […]
Here are 12 things God cannot do. “It is impossible for God to lie.” Hebrews 6:18 “He cannot deny Himself.” 2 Timothy 2:13 “He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5 (NKJV) “The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O […]
The Roman government gave their local rulers dictatorial powers to keep the status quo. The governors could do as they pleased to maintain order and to collect taxes. For example, it was well-known that Herod killed his former wife (didn't want her around any more) and his son (disobedient). He ordered John the Baptist beheaded – as […]
