3/1/2026 Jude 1:3-4 How To Be A Good Soldier For Christ Intro: The author of this epistle calls himself Jude, and there is no reason to think that this is a pseudonym. There are six individuals named Jude in the New Testament, but only two are likely to have written this book: (1) the apostle Jude (see Luke 6:16; Acts 1:13), who is probably Thaddaeus of Matthew 10:3; (2) Jude the brother of James and the half brother of the Lord Jesus. The brothers of the Lord are named in Matthew 13:55 as “James, Joses, Simon, and Judas.” Since the author does not claim apostolic authority, and since verse 17 indicates that the apostles are a group that does not include the writer, we are left with the second candidate—Jude, the brother of the Lord and of James. This identification is confirmed by the author's reference to his brother James (v. 1) and a reference in a letter of Clement of Alexandria (around a.d. 153–217). Although assigning an exact date for the writing of Jude is impossible, it is likely that the book was written between a.d. 60 and 64. It was almost certainly written before a.d. 70, since Jude does not make any reference to the fall of Jerusalem in a.d. 70. The United States and Israel attacked Iran early Saturday morning our time. They are wreaking havoc in Iran. Iran is sending missiles to Israel and Neighboring Islamic countries. Saudia Arabia, Quatar, etc… Our soldier have to depend upon their training and skills now. They have been thrust in to battle. Their goal is to defend their country to the death if need be. This war means the world is heading for a climax….of judgment and jubilation. Judgment of an unbelieving world and the glorious appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. Soldier know how to be good soldiers for the Untited States. How can we be good soldiers of the Lord Jesus Christ!

3/1/2026 Revelation 21:1-27 and 22:1-6 The New Jerusalem… Intro: There are many questions about the New Jerusalem of which we don't have many answers but the basics. It's size, It's shape and it's inhabitants. We know the bride of Christ will be there. We think that eventually includes the OT saints and the Tribulation saints. It is described as a bride adorned for her husband and the church is the only bride of Christ. Are the OT saints the church?….Not technically but they will be in heaven with the church…during the Marriage supper of the Lamb……. they are friends of the bridegroom. John 3:29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. Are the Tribulation saints the bride? Not likely because most likely the marriage supper of the Lamb occurs in heaven during the tribulation. Be we will look at what we know and use Biblical speculation on what we don't know. Eventually all redeemed with be together or at least be able to fellowship with each other. Got Questions.org--The New Jerusalem, which is also called the tabernacle of God, the Holy City, the city of God, the Celestial City, the city foursquare, and heavenly Jerusalem, is literally heaven on earth. It is referred to in the Bible in several places. Galatians 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all; Hebrews 11:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Hebrews 12:22–23 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect; and Hebrews 13:14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. It is most fully described in Revelation 21 and 22. Some scholars believe that the new Jerusalem will descend from heaven and hover over the Millennial Kingdom as a satellite city of the glorified church during Christ's thousand-year reign. Scripture offers no evidence for this position. Some believe including me…..that the new Jerusalem is presented in Revelation chapter 21 and 22 is as it will be in the eternal state, not in the Millennial Kingdom. So Paul tells us that the Jerusalem is above. Galatians 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. So right now there is a city of Jerusalem in heaven and that's where it will be during the tribulation when it come down OUT of heaven. Revelation 21:1 which we will see shortly. In Revelation 21, the recorded history of man is at its end. All the ages have come and gone. Christ has gathered His church in the Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:15–17). The tribulation has passed (Revelation 6—18). The battle of Armageddon has been fought and won by our Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 19:17–21). Satan has been chained for the 1,000-year reign of Christ on earth (Revelation 20:1–3). A new, glorious temple has been established in Jerusalem (Ezekiel 40—48). The final rebellion against God has been quashed, and Satan has received his just punishment, an eternity in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:7–10.) The great white throne judgment has taken place, and mankind has been judged (Revelation 20:11–15). In Revelation 21:1 God does a complete make-over of heaven and earth (Isaiah 65:17; 2 Peter 3:12–13). The new heaven and new earth are what some call the eternal state and will be “where righteousness dwells.” 2 Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Who are the residents of the New Jerusalem? The Father and the Lamb are there (Revelation 21:22). Angels are at the gates (verse 12). We know the city will be filled with the bride, the Lambs wife. Revelation 21:9 let me show the bride, the Lambs wife.…His church, God's redeemed children. The New Jerusalem is the righteous counter to the evil Babylon (Revelation 17), destroyed by God's judgment (Revelation 18). The wicked had their city, and God has His.

2/22/2026 1 Peter 1:1-5 What Have in Christ Intro: We have all we need in Jesus Christ for living, for loving, for working, for succeeding, for today and forever! In life we have many needs. We have many wants and desires. Some are met….. most are not. Life is frustrating. Filled with failures and tragedies and trials. Why bother? Well ….if we Didn't have Jesus I would say eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. But we have Jesus! We have the Word of God! We have the cross and the resurrection. We have the soon return of Christ. We have it all in Jesus Christ! Peter goes over what we have in Jesus Christ!

2/15/2026 Exodus 12:23-27 What A Mighty God We Serve Intro: The Exodus is the story of Israel leaving Egyptian captivity through the birth of Moses who is a type of Christ as the deliverer of His people. God used the Exodus to teach the Godless Egyptians a great truth. Don't mess with God's people. He also introduced through the Exodus…. the Passover. The blood covenant, which later became the new covenant. That God would save His people from their sins through the shed blood of the Lamb of God. It is a long story that we will read briefly how we got there.

2/15/2026 Revelation 20:1-14 The Millennial Reign Of Christ Part Ten….What About the Gentiles? Gentiles As Part of the Raptured Church Will Have Positions of Leadership Two of Jesus' parables indicate that Gentiles will be leaders in the Millennial Kingdom. The first is the parable of the talents, recorded in Matthew 25:14–30. Before leaving on a long trip, a man gave one of his servants five talents, a second servant two talents, and a third servant one talent. The first two servants wisely invested what had been entrusted to them by their master, while the third servant buried his talent. When the master returned, he promised the first two servants that they would be rulers over many things. The third servant he sternly rebuked. Because this parable was given in the context of the Lord's Second Coming, we can conclude that one aspect of the rewards to believing Gentiles will be rulership with Christ in the Millennial Kingdom.

2/8/2026 1 Timothy 1: 17-20 Is Your Faith Heading For a Shipwreck? Intro: Bankruptcies occur gradually and then all at once. The same thing with Ship wrecks. Gradually the storm comes up and before you know it suddenly the wind and the waves are tossing you upside down and you are at the bottom of the sea. You drifted because you didn't drop your anchor. To avoid bankruptcy and ship wrecks you must be diligent. You must take care of regular maintenance, check your accounts every day or so. Keep up with your finances and they will keep you up! A ship constantly monitors all it's systems and a knowledge of the ly the weather and the possible obstacles around them. A ship avoids drifting away from safe harbors by dropping an anchor. Our anchor is Christ. Being prepared for any obstacle to your goals and making sure you arrive safely. That's the Chrisian life….Making sure you arrive safely in heaven. We know that our salvation is secured in Christ….You cannot shipwreck your salvation but you can shipwreck your faith, your walk with Christ, your rewards in heaven, your influence on others. Is your goal to arrive anchored to Christ, safely, securely, humbly and thankfully? Or will you limp into heaven beaten and battered when you drifted away from Christ?

2/8/2026 Revelation 20:1-14 The Millennial Reign Of Christ Part Nine….What About the Gentiles? Gentiles and Jews Worship in the Temple The Millennial temple is described in detail in Ezekial chapters 40-48. On some occasions, the Gentiles will worship at the Millennial Temple in Jerusalem, as detailed in Isaiah 56:6-7: “Also the sons of the foreigner, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer, their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all peoples.” The size of the temple described in Ezekiel chapters 47-48 seems to be able to accommodate the millions of visitors to it. In that period, the Temple will not be just for the Jewish people but for all people: “And it shall come to pass that, from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD” (Isa. 66:23).

2/1/2026 Colossians 3:1-7 Above, Beyond And Below Intro: Service above anything you've ever experienced, quality beyond your imagination, And prices below what you'd expect to pay! What does that sound like? A TV commercial. The goal of every advertiser is to include these three things in Advertising. I used to write commercials for radio. You had to make your client's business be above, beyond and below. Above and beyond their competitors and below them in price. That's the key. Well Paul describes the same three things in His message to the Church at Colossae in relation to our lives in Chris

2/1/2026 The Millennial Reign Of Christ Part 8 The Millennial Reign Of Christ in Isaiah chapters 11 and 65.

1/25/2026 Philippians 4:4-9 Final Instructions For Finishing Well Once the church is gone then and only then will the United States fall. The Holy Spirit working through the church is the restrainer of the Beast system today. When the church is gone they will have their utopian dream……. that will turn out to be their greatest nightmare. But how do we live in light of Christ in these days? Paul left us some instructions.

1/25/2026 Who Will Go Into the Millennial Kingdom? The Raptured Church When Jesus returns to the earth at His Second Coming, following the Tribulation period, He will bring others with Him from Heaven: “And the armies that were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean” (Rev. 19:14). Who are the ones who make up “the armies”? They will be the raptured believers of the Church age, who will return to the earth in their glorified bodies to rule and reign with Christ (Rev. 1:6). This great company will be made up of Jews and Gentiles, although probably far more of the latter than the former.

1/18/2026 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 How To Win The Race Intro: Everybody wants to win but not many will pay the price it takes. Luke 14:28 says For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? How many of us want to please the Lord and finish strong for Him and win for Him….but we have not prepared ourselves to win. Many enter a race but not all finish it. All great athletes have been hardened by setbacks, strengthened by failure, and by discipline and determination have come back to be winners. Only one wins a physical race. But we all have a unique race called our life. Not everyone is the same. So you must win the race that God has given you…..it's your own life's race and the end line is in sight! Will you run with Christ? Or without Him? Will you be the victor? or will you quit?

1-11-2026 Romans 3:1-6 God Used An Imperfect People To Bring His Perfect Word Intro: Today the Bible is still the number one selling book in the world. The United States is still the number one Bible producing, reading and distributing country in the world…by far. And He did it through an imperfect people…the Jewish people. Funny that a Jewish book, written entirely by Jews except maybe Luke….but scholars are recently discovering that Luke may have been Jewish also….This book written by the hated Jewish people. Today Jews are hated on the level of the 1930's around the world. It is getting unsafe to put an Israel flag in your front yard or to be a known Jewish person in many places in AMERICA! Yet we love or used to love their book…..the Bible! Only God can do the things He does that perplex us…….but He makes it to become perfect sense when we understand God and His work in this world.

1/11/2026 Where will the church be at that time and what will we be doing? Given that the Millennium is primarily linked to the nation of Israel, the question has been raised as to where Christians will be and what their role will be during this period. One reason why this question is difficult to answer is because the Church, to which all New Testament believers belong, is described as a mystery in the Bible. In other words, the truth of the Church was hidden in the Old Testament, although it was planned by God before time began. This means that the many Old Testament prophecies describing the Millennium do not identify the Church or its role during this era.

1/4/2026 Revelation 1:5-7 The Greatest Day In History Intro: The Greatest day so far was when Jesus died and rose again. But creation was a great day. The flood was a great day. The tower of Babel was a great day. But this day coming is the greatest of all days…the return of Jesus Christ our Lord to His rightful throne and making the world right again. He will right every wrong and heal every heart. What a day! And it all centers around one person….Jesus Christ! As we leave 2025 the details of what lies ahead is unknown….. but one thing we do know is that Jesus Christ will return sooner than later!

There are several passages in the Old Testament that clearly indicate animal sacrifice will be re-instituted during the millennial kingdom. Some passages mention it in passing as the topic of the millennial kingdom is discussed, passages like Isaiah 56:6-8; Zechariah 14:16; and Jeremiah 33:15-18. The passage that is the most extensive, giving the greatest detail, is Ezekiel 43:18-46:24. It should be noted that this is part of a greater passage dealing with the millennial kingdom, a passage that begins with Ezekiel 40. In Ezekiel 40, the Lord begins to give details of the temple that will exist during the millennial kingdom, a temple that dwarfs all other temples previously built, even Herod's temple that was quite large, which existed during the earthly ministry of Christ.

12/21/2025 Luke 3:31-32 The Man Who WILL Be King Intro: Lots of people have wanted to be king. King of a realm. King of the world even! But there is only going to be ONE king and ONE ruler of the universe eventually. You know that communism doesn't work….Islamic rule doesn't work…..Marxism doesn't work….even a constitutional republic doesn't work…..why? Because wicked people always in time ruin everything! Benjamin Franklin said that only a righteous people can govern themselves under a constitutional republic. But look at America….it is falling apart at the seams because we are not a righteous people. Only a righteous people can live together in harmony and only with a righteous king. WE will have a righteous king one day and it won't be long!

12/14/2021 Matthew 1:21 What is Christmas really all about? We have Christmas lights, Santa Claus, reindeer, Elves and Christmas trees. We sing Christmas songs and we have celebrations and at the center of it all is Jesus Christ. Or it should be. It is very commercialized, but you can't blame the businesses though. This is their biggest month of the year is by far the four weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Most of them make between 50 and 75 percent of their sales for the year during this time. Did you know that Christmas and Easter are the only two holiday's celebrated by the whole world? What is Christmas all about? Let's see....

12/7/2025 Galatians 6:9-10 Be Good For Goodness Sake Intro: What Christmas song is that line from?........ Santa Claus is Coming to town! “He see's you when you're sleeping, He knows when you're awake, he knows when you've been bad or good so be good for goodness sake!” …. In this world today we can get over-whelmed with all the evil going on in the world. We can be stressed out. It wears us out hearing and seeing all the Godlessness going on in the world. So God has given us a passage for that….actually many passages…… but we are going to look at this familiar portion of scripture today. We should be good not For His sake for only He is good!

11/30/2025 Ezra 4:1-5 The Wicked Will Oppose God Intro: The book of Ezra does not specifically name its author. The tradition is that the scribe Ezra wrote the book of Ezra. Ezra first appears on the scene in chapter 7, and the author of the book of Ezra switches from writing in the third person to first person in chapter 8. This would lends credibility to Ezra's being the author. The Book of Ezra was likely written between 460 and 440 B.C. The Book of Ezra is devoted to events occurring in the land of Israel at the time of the return from the Babylonian captivity and subsequent years, covering a period of approximately one century, beginning in 538 B.C. The emphasis in Ezra is on the rebuilding of the Temple. The book contains extensive genealogical records, principally for the purpose of establishing the claims to the priesthood on the part of the descendants of Aaron. Chapters 1-6—The First Return under Zerubbabel, and the Building of the Second Temple. The Book of Ezra covers the return from captivity to rebuild the Temple up to the decree of Artaxerxes, the event covered at the beginning of the Book of Nehemiah. Haggai was the main prophet in the day of Ezra, and Zechariah was the prophet in the day of Nehemiah. The opposition of the adversaries of God to the rebuilding of the temple displays a pattern that is typical of that of the enemy of our souls. Satan uses those who would appear to be in sync with God's purposes to deceive us and attempt to thwart God's plans and they never give up and they never take a break.

11/30/2025 Where will the church be at that time and what will we be doing? From Precious Seed….That is a great question that we don't have clear answers to. The millennial reign of the Lord Jesus Christ is a specific period that will occur in the near future commencing with the personal return of the Lord Jesus to the earth in a visible and overwhelming display of power and glory. On His return, the Lord Jesus will defeat the enemies of God, led by the beast during the tribulation period. Following the removal of evil, the Lord Jesus Christ, as King of kings, will personally reign over the earth bringing into fruition an unparalleled time of peace, righteousness, justice, and abundance which will affect the whole world including spiritual, social, ecological, geographical, and biological spheres of life. Revelation chapter 20 verse 4 states that the period will last 1000 years. Hence the reason it is often simply called the ‘Millennium'.

11/23/2025 Mark 6:1-5 Why Do People Reject Jesus Intro: Jesus was ministering in Nazareth His home town. This was his last mission work in His home town. Beginning in verse 7 he sent his disciples out two by two to other villages. In Nazareth He went to the synagogue as was His practice when entering His home town. He finds back home that people are amazed at His teaching and His amazing miracles. But there was a disconnect with Jesus. They rejected Him and His message. Why Would they do that?

11/23/2025 What is the Purpose of the Millennium? From Got Questions.com--The millennium (also known as the millennial kingdom) is the 1,000-year reign of Jesus after the tribulation and before the Great White Throne Judgment of the wicked. During the millennium, Jesus will reign as king over Israel and all the nations of the world (Isaiah 2:4; 42:1). The world will live in peace (Isaiah 11:6–9; 32:18), Satan will be bound (Revelation 20:1–3), and, at the beginning, everyone will worship God (Isaiah 2:2–3). The purpose of the 1,000-year reign is to fulfill various promises God made to the world. Some of these promises, called covenants, were given specifically to Israel. Others were given to Jesus, the nations of the world, and creation. Jesus' 1,000-year reign will be a time of promises kept.

11/16/2025 Psalm 4:1-8 Why We Should Trust In God Intro: Why should I trust in God? People die of tragedies. Wicked people get all the breaks. Why doesn't God give me good things I'm a good person? Why does everything go wrong for me? People are hurting, downcast, ready to give up. How do I know this? They elected a Marxists communist in New York only on the hope that their lives might be better. The Democrats and the Republicans have not got it done for people. Most people in the world are NOT happy and have very little to be joyful about. I can tell you with absolute certainty that the source of all joy and all hope is found in a right relationship with your creator.

11/16/2025 The millennial kingdom is the future reign of Jesus Christ on earth as He sits on David's throne in Jerusalem. Everyone who enters that kingdom will be redeemed by God and therefore righteous (see Isaiah 35:8–10). Among those redeemed will be two distinct groups of people: those with glorified physical bodies and those with natural, earthly bodies. Those who occupy the millennial kingdom with glorified bodies can be divided into three subgroups: the church, whose bodies were either resurrected or changed at the rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:13–18; 1 Corinthians 15:21–23, 51–53); tribulation martyrs, who are resurrected after Christ returns to earth (Revelation 20:4–6); and the Old Testament saints, who we assume are resurrected at the same time (see Daniel 12:2). Those who occupy the kingdom with earthly bodies have survived the tribulation and can be subdivided into two groups: believing Gentiles and believing Jews.

11/9/2025 Jeremiah 31:1-3 and 35-37 The God Of Israel Intro: The world seems intent on picking a fight with God Himself. There is so much hatred for Jews and Israel today that it is off the charts. Tucker Carlson interviewed Nick Fuentes….. a young podcaster who is known for denying the Holocaust and praising Hitler and oh by the way he claims to be a Christian. Catholic no doubt. The Catholic church is very anti-Jewish. Fuentes hates Christian Zionists. Tucker Carlson hates Christian Zionists. Candace Owens a famous podcaster hates Christian Zionists. She is Catholic also. What is a Christian Zionist? A follower of Jesus Christ by faith and trust and who believes that Israel is forever God's chosen people. They believe in Israel's right to exist is Biblical and in the land belongs to God. We don't believe that everything Israel does is right. But like a wayward brother they are part of our family and we support them even while we don't like everything they do.

11/9/2025 Nahum 3:1-19 Ninevah's Complete Ruin Intro: Given the limited amount of information that we know about Nahum, the best we can do is narrow the timeframe in which the Book of Nahum was written to between 663 and 612 B.C. Two events are mentioned that help us to determine these dates. First, Nahum mentions Thebes (No Amon) in Egypt falling to the Assyrians (663 B.C.) in the past tense, so it had already happened. Second, the remainder of Nahum's prophecies came true in 612 B.C. Nahum did not write this book as a warning or “call to repentance” for the people of Nineveh. God had already sent them the prophet Jonah 150 years earlier with His promise of what would happen if they continued in their evil ways. The people at that time had repented but now lived just as bad if not worse than they did before. The Assyrians had become absolutely brutal in their conquests (hanging the bodies of their victims on poles and putting their skin on the walls of their tents among other atrocities). Now Nahum was telling the people of Judah to not despair because God had pronounced judgment and the Assyrians would soon be getting just what they deserved.

11/2/2025 1 Peter 2:1-6 Get Stoned! Intro: The cry of the sixties was “lets get stoned.” That is lets get high on LSD or Marijuana. Well the Bible talks about getting stoned. It is a great High…but It's a good High. Getting high on Jesus who is the cornerstone of all God is doing in the universe. It is Jesus who is the living stone and He makes all those who trust in Him to be Lively or living STONES….plural. Once we are stoned what happens next?

11/2/2025 Amos 8:1-14 When People Turn From God Intro: To better understand a difficult message, it's often helpful to understand the messenger. Amos, along with Hosea, Isaiah, and Micah, prophesied during the eighth century BC. The Jews had split into two nations, the northern kingdom, Israel, and the southern kingdom, Judah. It is interesting to note that Amos had no formal theological training; he was a farmer who raised livestock and sycamore figs (Amos 7:14). Interesting, too, is the fact that Amos, who resided in Judah, was sent by God to preach in the northern kingdom. As is often the case among a rebellious people, Amos's calls for national repentance were met with hostility (Amos 7:12). Let's examine the 8th chapter of Amos of the results when people turn from God.

10/26/2025 1 Corinthians 15:19-24 How To Have Perfect Joy In An Imperfect World Intro: Only those who know Jesus Christ as Savior from their sins have perfect forgiveness, perfect hope and perfect joy. In a world full of miserable people with unmet expectations we can have hope and joy in Christ!

10/26/2025 1 John 2:28-29 How To Arrive In Christ Intro: The word arrive means we have finished our trip. We are soon about to finish our course….we are about to make our last trip around the sun, our life journey is soon over for this mortal life. The Bible tells that this mortal must put on immortality. We are about to arrive at our destination. For the Christian it is to be with the one we love the most…..Jesus Christ our Lord.

10/5/2025 Hosea 3:4-5 Great News For Israel ….Jesus Will Be their King Intro: Hosea was to the northern kingdom what Jeremiah was to the southern kingdom, a weeping prophet. Hosea looked in the future to the Assyrian captivity of the northern kingdom, just as Jeremiah looked forward to the Babylonian captivity of the southern kingdom. Hosea's prophecy is closely related to that of Amos. Both Amos and Hosea prophesied to the northern kingdom, although Amos was a native of the southern kingdom and Hosea of the northern kingdom. Hosea was the younger contemporary of Amos, and because their ministries overlap, there is much similarity in the sins they condemn. In Amos, the prophetic discourses are very pronounced, while in Hosea, because of the intense personal involvement of the prophet, they are not very distinctly defined from one another, a fact that makes the book difficult to outline. Hosea dates his prophecy” in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel” (1:1). Hosea's ministry extended from about (770 to 725 B.C.). Thus, his active ministry ceased a few years before Assyria carried the northern kingdom into captivity (in 722 B.C.). The theme of Hosea is God's loyal love for His covenant people, Israel, in spite of their idolatry. Thus, Hosea has been called John (the apostle of love) of the Old Testament. The Lord's true love from His people is unending and will tolerate no rival Hosea's message contains much condemnation, both national and individual, but at the same time, he poignantly portrays the love of God toward His people with passionate emotion. Hosea was instructed by God to marry a certain woman and experience with her a domestic life which was a dramatization of the sin and unfaithfulness of Israel. The marital life of Hosea and his wife, Gomer, who at times was a prostitute, provide the rich metaphor which clarifies the themes of the book; sin, judgment and forgiving love.

10/5/2025 Joel 3:1-2 The God Of Israel Joel 3:1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, The Lord says, “At that time I will restore the prosperity of Judah and Jerusalem. For behold, in those [climactic] days and at that time, When I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, Joel 3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. I will gather all the nations and bring them to the Valley of Judgment. There I will judge them for all they have done to my people. They have scattered the Israelites in foreign countries and divided Israel, my land. I will gather together all the [Gentile] nations [that were hostile to My people] And bring them down into the Valley of Jehoshaphat (the Lord has judged). And there I will deal with them and enter into judgment with them there For [their treatment of] My people, My inheritance, Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations, And [because] they have encroached on My land and divided it up.

9/28/2025 Philippians 2:5-11 The Greatness Of Christ Intro: The Bible says in Acts 4:10-12 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

9/21/2025 1 Samuel 10:19-27 The People's King Intro: God was to be Israel's king but they rejected God and that left Samuel the prophet in a difficult situation. God assured Samuel that they have not rejected Samuel but God Himself. The people wanted to be like the nations around them. They wanted what they thought was going to free them from the shackles of the Hebrew law and all it's rules and regulations. But all the years of kings was mostly disaster for Israel. First was Saul then David, and Solomon, There were 39 kings that reigned over Israel and Judah. Saul, David and Solomon were kings in the unified Israel and Judah. After Solomon the kingdoms divided. Israel had 20 kings and all were evil. Judah had 19 kings and 8 were pretty good. Asa, Jehoshapat, Joash, Amaziah, Azariah, Jotham, Hezekiah and Josiah. God had hoped for so much for His people Israel but they rejected Him and for four hundred years they lived under kings that were basically a disaster especially after David and Solomon. Jesus Christ will be the King of the Jews during the millennium. God is not against monarchy's if He is the monarch!
