PRIDE AND repentance are the themes of this week's Old Testament study. First we discuss the Book of Jonah, a short four-chapter study in obedience to God and His mercy toward those who repent.
The Book of Revelation was written by John, either in the mid-60s A.D. or around 95 A.D. Most scholars believe it was the later date, during the reign of Domitian, although some believe it was thirty years earlier, during the reign of Nero.
IRON AGE history is a bloody business, and the history of the kings of Israel and Judah is no different. This week's Old Testament study looks at transfers of power -- somewhat less than peaceful -- in the generation following Ahab and Jehoshaphat.
THE EARLY church had to deal with a number of heretical teachings. In his gentle style, John counseled believers to love one another, to recognize false teachings, and to test the spirits, because not all of them are from God.
THE CONCEPTS of holy ground and cosmic geography are behind most of the stories in today's Old Testament study. God often did things to teach a lesson and/or send a message. In this case, it was the clear message that Israel belongs to Him.
SPIRITUAL WARFARE and the sin of the Watchers are the focus of this week's New Testament study. Peter and Jude were in accord with the letters we read this week, and there is a lot of meat in these four short chapters.
THE DIVINE COUNCIL in action and prophecy is the focus of this week's Old Testament study.
FAITH AND perseverance are at the heart of today's New Testament study. We conclude the remarkable Book of Hebrews, and then we move to Paul's second letter to Timothy, in which he exhorts the young man to keep fighting the good fight.
GOD HAS a council that carries out His commands, and this week we get one of the few glimpses into the divine council. It's the story of Ahab's demise in battle, where the king of Israel is enticed by lying spirits to go to his doom.
AGAIN WE find it impossible to get through more than a few chapters of the incredible Book of Hebrews. These chapters make the case for the superiority of Jesus and the new covenant in his blood to the old covenant under the Law given to Moses.
