This message was given by the late Rev. Howard E. Tucker, pastor of the former Calvary Presbyterian Church in Wilkinsburg, PA.  He was a graduate of Wheaton College and Dallas Theological Seminary.  The sermons were first broadcast on Pittsburgh's radio station, KDKA, during the fifties, sixties, and seventies.They can now be heard every Sunday evening on Pittsburgh's radio station WORD FM 101.5 or WORDFM.com at 9:45 PM, or 24/7 by typing in "Timeless Treasures from God's Word" in the search bar of your computer or smart phone.  Pastor Tucker's son, Timothy, now voices the messages.

In the Coffee House, John-Mark is joined by Brandon Adams and Benedict Allmand-Smith to discuss Covenant Theology, the Sinai/Mosaic covenant, Paul's argument in Galatians 3, the Abrahamic Covenant and its relationship to the New Covenant, and the different views on Abraham and Moses, particularly expressed in the majority Reformed view and the arguments of Meredith Kline. Swim deep in the questions of Reformed Covenant Theology at the Coffee House.Brandon begins by defining the historic “subservient covenant” view: Sinai is distinct from the covenant of grace and serves it by functioning as a typological covenant of works tied to temporal life and blessing in Canaan, conditioned on obedience. They contrast this with the majority historic Reformed view that post-fall covenants are one covenant of grace, and explain competing readings of Galatians 3:10–12 and 3:15–18 (including the “ad hominem” reading). Adams relates Kline's works-principle approach, critiques attempts to separate the Abrahamic and Mosaic covenants, and argues Paul's “promise” centers on Christ blessing the nations, distinguishing the historia salutis from the ordo salutis.

This episode of followHIM features John Bytheway, Hank Smith, and Dr. Ross Baron exploring the “historical books” of the Old Testament—Joshua through Esther—and how they reveal God's hand in Israel's history over roughly 800 years, from the entry into the promised land to the Persian period. They explain that these narratives show the blessings and consequences tied to the Abrahamic Covenant and emphasize that God is patient, merciful, and consistently works with His people at their level while inviting them higher.YOUTUBEhttps://youtu.be/f7JYw1YHgNgFREE PDF DOWNLOADS OF followHIM QUOTE BOOKSOld Testament: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastOTBookNew Testament: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastNTBookBook of Mormon: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastBMBookWEEKLY NEWSLETTERhttps://tinyurl.com/followHIMnewsletterSOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/followHIMpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/followhimpodcastThanks to the followHIM team:Steve & Shannon Sorensen: Cofounder, Executive Producer, SponsorDavid & Verla Sorensen: SponsorsDr. Hank Smith: Co-hostJohn Bytheway: Co-hostDavid Perry: ProducerKyle Nelson: Marketing, SponsorLisa Spice: Client Relations, Editor, Show NotesWill Stoughton: Video EditorKrystal Roberts: Translation Team, English & French Transcripts, WebsiteAriel Cuadra: Spanish TranscriptsAmelia Kabwika : Portuguese TranscriptsHeather Barlow: Communications DirectorSydney Smith: Social Media, Graphic Design"Let Zion in Her Beauty Rise" by Marshall McDonaldhttps://www.marshallmcdonaldmusic.com

As we continue our series on “The Law Is Spiritual” we step back and slowly walk through the “Abrahamic Covenant” in Genesis. We find eight MAJOR covenant markers one of which is the “Promise Land”.  The Abrahamic Covenant stands apart because its certainty rests entirely in YHWH Himself. The law-based covenants exposed breach and therefore […] The post 260515 The Promise Land first appeared on Gospel Revolution.com.

The Deuteronomistic History portrays a cohesive view of Israel.(18:46) Lehi and Nephi were at odds with the Jews at the time they left Jerusalem in 600 B.C. Examples from the Book of Mormon show how prophets disagreed with some of Deuteronomy's ideas.(23:26) Deuteronomy centralizes worship and prohibits any altars outside of the temple. Visionaries were denigrated, yet Nephi knew the mysteries.(25:42) Deuteronomy focuses on the Abrahamic Covenant and stresses that Israel is to remember the Lord.(32:39) Deuteronomy has covenant renewal ceremonies and is constructed in the pattern of an ancient Near Eastern vassal treaty. This pattern is also used in King Benjamin's speech in Mosiah 1-6.(38:22) The scattering and gathering is prophesied in both Deuteronomy and the Book of Mormon. God wants to bring Israel back home.(46:12) Deuteronomy 31.6 shows a direct connection to the Book of Joshua. Blessings for keeping the commandments can be seen as a generational promise, not necessarily a 1:1 relationship. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not a “cosmic vending machine.”(48:53) Both Deuteronomy and the Book of Mormon are writing with the future in mind, knowing that their discovery will bring religious reform.(51:14) Both books warn of the pride and destruction that can come with prosperity.(55:28) Moses “dies,” and the text of Deuteronomy says his sepulcher is not known. The Book of Mormon teaches that Moses was translated. Josephus' history says he disappeared in a cloud. The New Testament shows Moses appears at the Mount of Transfiguration.(1:02:01) As a resurrected being, in April 1836, Moses came to Joseph Smith to give him the keys of the gathering of Israel. In this way, we are all connected to Moses and his mission. As modern day Israel, we carry the torch of Gospel light and are commanded to spread the Gospel. → For more of Bryce Dunford’s podcast classes, click here. → Enroll in Institute → YouTube → Apple Podcasts → Spotify → Amazon Music → Facebook The post Ep 371 | Deuteronomy, Come Follow Me 2026 (May 11-17) appeared first on LDS Scripture Teachings.

IronMen of God - April 2026 CoffeeSpeaker: Ralph HoweTopic: The Abrahamic Covenant

We explore the life of Abraham, a significant figure in the Bible known for his deep faith.

We also discuss the Abrahamic Covenant and how it shapes the narrative of the Bible. Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

In Genesis 17, when Abraham was 99 years old, the Lord appeared to him to reaffirm His covenant with Abraham. This reaffirmation concerned both the promise of a land, and the promise of an heir from the union of Abraham and Sarah. Additionally, the sign of circumcision was given to Abraham at this time, a ritual that every Jewish male had to have performed in order to be part of God's covenant people.

We explore the story of Abraham, Sarai, and Hagar from Genesis 16 and 17. We delve into the implications of Sarai's suggestion to Abraham to father a child with Hagar, the resulting tension within the household, and the birth of Ishmael. We reflect on the 13 years of silence before God gives Abraham a new name and reaffirms his covenant, introducing circumcision as a symbol of the Abrahamic Covenant. Lastly, we discuss the shock and laughter that ensue when God reveals that Sarah, despite her age, will bear a son, Isaac, who will inherit the covenant promises.Bible ReadingsGenesis 16:1-16Genesis 17:1-27Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

Tribulation and Gross Darkness (1) (audio) David Eells – 4/8/26 Gross Darkness Byron Searle - 9/22/25 Jeremiah 13:16-17, 16 Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. 17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD's flock is carried away captive. My son, because of the pride in My Church, I have now brought GROSS DARKNESS upon this nation. (The Lord said, Not imminent but coming) It is no small thing that the Church has done. The pastors whom I have placed over My children have led them astray and into the world. They have taken My Holiness and mixed it with vanity. They have taken My Word and twisted it to fit their own doctrines. The pastors have abused My children and satisfy their lust in the flesh. GROSS DARKNESS HAS NOW FALLEN ON MY CHURCH - AND THE SHAKINGS HAVE BEGUN. My son, THE WORLD HAS NOW ENTERED INTO A NEW PARADIGM. AS NATIONS HAVE NOW DIVIDED MY LAND - I WILL DIVIDE THEIRS. (WWlll, Nations who signed the Abrahamic Covenant two state solution) GREAT BRITAIN, CANADA, FRANCE AND AUSTRALIA - YOU WILL FEEL MY WRATH. THE MANY NATIONS THAT WANT TO DIVIDE MY LAND WILL NOW FEEL THE GROSS DARKNESS - AS I HAVE REMOVED MY HAND. The minions of satan have been loosed, and now men will understand GROSS DARKNESS. Much blood will be shed and flow like water. I have said to humble yourselves before Me and turn from your evil ways, but you have neither humbled nor turned. The pride of man grows only more wicked, and THE DAY HAS ARRIVED THAT ALL THE WORLD WILL KNOW THAT I AM GOD. My son, CRY NOT for this nation, but CRY for mercy to be shown. For My blind church will have their eyes opened, and I will allow them to see the GROSS DARKNESS. There are many of My Remnant now ready to reap the harvest. BE READY to minister as the eyes of the blind are made to see, and many will need the truth. Stand on My Word! Seek Me in all things! Brace yourselves to Me! I AM THE ONLY WAY! Do not get caught up in the events of the world. There will be chaos, bloodshed, and much confusion. But I AM HERE - ALWAYS WITH YOU - THROUGH the perilous times. My Church - Repent now!! Turn from your evil ways and seek Holiness in Me! Pray much and seek Me! THE POINT OF NO RETURN IS PAST. I AM COMING SOON TO DISPELL THE GROSS DARKNESS! Amen Jesus Christ   Darkness Is Closing Opportunities Anonymous - 09/26/2013 (David's notes in red) I wanted to share a vision the Lord showed me during our prayer time the morning of the 26th of September. I saw two windows side by side. One was filled with bright light (right side), the other darkness (left side). I felt the one filled with darkness meant that the window was closed. (Darkness is the absence of light, which represents truth and the Word in the Bible. The window of opportunity for these to be given openly is closing. The Antichrist spirit will take over humanity. Persecution will begin in earnest. Iran, Nigeria,Africa) As the vision progressed, the window that was filled with light slowly began filling with darkness. I felt the Lord was showing me that window was slowly being closed. As the vision lifted, both windows were completely dark (closed). When I opened my eyes, I shared the vision with my husband and I asked the Father for a word. I received two. The first word, I believe, is about those who do not make it through the window or door/gate. Hos.8:8 Israel is swallowed up: now are they among the nations as a vessel wherein none delighteth. (Through the slanderous lies of darkness, persecution will come to Israel and the Church. The window of opportunity to escape is closing.) The second word I believe shows there is hope, if we (Walk by faith and) take heed to do all we can to get through the window or door/gate while there is still time. Eze.37:22 ... and I will make them one nation in the land, upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all; and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all; (Done) 23 ... neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling-places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. I feel the Lord is showing that the windows of opportunity are being closed as well as doors/gates. There is no longer time for foolishness. The doors, gates, and windows will close soon. The clock is ticking, the alarm is set, and it will be buzzing soon! Time to prepare is running out. There is still time at this moment to rid ourselves of every idol, unclean thing and whatever the world is trying to offer, but that time is very short. Take heed!   Michael Hare - 09/29/2013 A few years ago, I had an open vision of darkness almost covering the sky, with only a little light left and the darkness was rapidly closing in on the light. (It could have been like 80% of the sky was dark.) Within the last few months, I saw darkness covering the whole sky, except for a very minute sliver of light, and the darkness was about to close out that sliver of light.   Grant McComb Dream - October 2011 (David Dengler's notes in green) (David's notes in red) I was standing in a radio-controlled airplane-flying field. (RC airplanes used to be my hobby, but I gave that up when I got serious about living for God.) (Radio-controlled planes? We have many dreams likening the US to an airplane. This plane is being controlled remotely through the airwaves. (The ‘powers that be' have controlled the MSM, leaving the Beast's voice, like it was under communism. When people only hear perversion, they are controlled and perverted. Then comes destruction. The coming of NESARA/GESARA the darkness is being pushed back for a short time.) I looked over the trees and could see a big city with skyscrapers (similar to New York City or something like that). (The big city, that is, 'the great city', represents Babylon and the skyscrapers are the Tower of Babel. (In another parable, Babylon is the US.) So these are the earth dwellers in Revelation trying to build their tower to Heaven, as in Genesis. From the beginning to the end, nothing has changed. History repeats.) I then saw multiple explosions within the city with massive smoke and flames rising up, consuming the entire city. I was probably several miles away from the city and saw the smoke coming toward me. I immediately got in my car and shut the door. Everything around me became dark (outside of the car) because of the smoke, and then I woke up from the dream. (Gross darkness is coming because truth will be outlawed more and more.) The multiple explosions are the many judgments, as spoken in Revelation, to come. (And the U.S., as the head of the Babylonian Beast, will be darkened first.) The smoke coming toward you represents that the tribulation is soon coming, and even the saved believers will go through it - there will be no all-fly-away rapture. A car represents traveling without effort. In this dream, the car is the Bride company going through the tribulation. The closed door represents the shutting out, or no one else (and no corruption) will be allowed to enter into the Bride company. For those outside the Bride, the whole world will become dark. Isa.60:2 For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. Jer.13:16 Give glory to Jehovah your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.) A note for consideration: Notice also that the door to the car, that is the Bride, is closed after the explosions began; this may indicate timing for us. I would like to see confirmation on this. (Judgment will bring the end of freedom as we know it, and the Beast covenant will come with the seven-day Marriage Feast. The Bride is in the King's house, as in Esther, before the Beast makes war on the saints.) I firmly believe we are approaching the end of the last days. A couple of signs that give me full confidence of this is the fact that we are at a time in human history where no one has ever before been able to run to and fro throughout the earth, and knowledge has increased. There are many other signs, but those two cannot be denied.   A Telling Dream Michael Boldea - 06/01/2013 [link] The following is a dream I had three times over Memorial Day weekend. … I dreamt I was standing beside a path leading into a forest, and although snow blanketed the ground, the path was still visible, clear, and well defined. Although I wasn't cold in my dream, I could see my breath and as I looked around, trying to understand what I was seeing and why I was seeing it a beautiful buck made its way up the path toward me. Although I can't say I've seen many bucks up close, this seemed like a fine specimen, regal in its bearing, almost prancing up the path with its head held high. I stood beside the path unmoving, not wanting to spook the animal in any way. If it saw me it did not let it show as it passed by and continued trotting down the path. I continued to watch it follow the path toward the forest until suddenly it veered off and began to make its way through the packed snow. Although its pace slowed and it was having a difficult time making headway once it veered off the path, the buck seemed stubborn in its insistence, and though progress was slow, it continued its march. I started to look around for something else, not really understanding what I was seeing or why I was seeing it when a sharp crack drew my attention back to the buck. Although the animal was a good distance from me, I could see what had happened with great clarity. The buck had stepped into a hole which had been masked by the snow, and had snapped its front left leg. I didn't know what else to do, so I just stood and watched as it forced itself up, and though evidently in great pain, it began to continue on its journey away from the path. Its progress was slow, and I could hear the echoes of its bleating, but wounded as it was, the animal was insistent in its purpose. After some time, the buck stopped suddenly and began to sniff at the air. An instant later, the mournful sound of howling wolves reached my ears, and I understood what the buck had smelled. With renewed vigor, the buck tried to run, but hampered by its wound, its progress was slow. I was so focused on the buck that at first I did not acknowledge the movement in my peripheral vision, but as they drew closer, I shifted my focus, and I could see the source of the howls approaching swiftly. At first, it was one wolf, then two, then five, then an entire pack, all in a semi-circle chasing down the wounded buck as it tried to flee. I was anxious to see what would happen. I strained to see every detail, but as the wolf pack drew closer and closer to the buck, I woke up. Troubled by the dream I'd had, I prayed a prayer and tried to go back to sleep, but no sleep would come. The next morning, we made our way to Lake Havasu, and after having our evening meeting and a late-night dinner, I went to sleep only to dream the exact same dream again. Everything was the same, from the path and the snow, to the buck and its broken leg, to the howls and the wolves, and to waking up fully alert just as the wolves were closing in on the buck. Once again, I prayed and tried to go back to sleep, and once again, sleep would not come. The next morning, we had church, then drove a couple of hours to a place called Aguila, Arizona, where we had some wonderful fellowship, then drove back to Las Vegas, where we would catch our flight home the next morning. It was already past midnight when we got in, and having preached twice and driven for about seven hours that day, I was as exhausted as a man can get. I was asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, and once again the same dream began to play out. Just as the wolves were ready to attack and take down the buck, I was awakened by a loud noise coming from the pullout sofa in the room. It was Gene. He was snoring. I was halfway to throwing a pillow at Gene and telling him to roll over when I saw the man standing at the foot of the bed, arms crossed over his chest, and a half smile on his face. 'Ask your question,' he said. 'Why can't I see what happens? Why can't I see the end of the dream?' I asked. 'Because it is inconsequential,' he answered. 'The instant the animal wandered off the path and wounded itself, its end was a certain and foregone conclusion. It matters not which wolf fells it. Once it is felled, they will all feast. The same can be said of this nation with one exception. The animal had no one to help it; this nation rejected the help offered it, believing it could heal its own self of the wounds it had inflicted upon itself. The wolves have gathered. They sense the weakness, they smell the blood, and they are confident in the outcome of their endeavor.' (In these days, many revelations were given of the days that are now ahead.) In an instant, the man was gone, and I found myself standing halfway out of bed with a pillow in my hand, pondering what I had just heard. We reject repentance at our own peril. We reject righteousness, sanctification, and the pursuit of holiness to our own detriment. Though there is safety on the narrow path, we've taken it upon ourselves to blaze our own trail, indifferent to the untold perils and dangers awaiting those who stray. (In a recent broadcast[link], I spoke of the enemy within, ultimately enabling Russia and China and allies attacking from without, hoping we would be careful not to alienate these enemies and also be prepared.) I wish with all my heart I could write happy things in my letter to you today. I wish I could tell you the sun will come out tomorrow, and the storm clouds will pass, but our refusal to accept God's help, our refusal to submit and humble ourselves before Him, only hastens judgment. (And all the money of NESARA will not save this nation from the Rev 13 mark.) The wolves have gathered, the hunt begins, and this weakened nation is the prey. I will now repeat what I preached during one of the aforementioned meetings because I believe it is relevant, timely, and apropos. The level of your relationship with Christ today will determine whether you stand or fall by the wayside tomorrow. Know that you are resting in Him, know that you draw your strength from Him, and know that you have placed your hope and trust in Him. On Christ the solid rock we stand, for truly, all other ground is sinking sand. Psalm 124:6-8, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as prey to their teeth. Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth”.   Tribulation Dreams Linda Conner - August 2006 (David's notes in red) In a dream, my husband and I had learned that our son, Christopher Joel (Christ-bearer; Jehovah is God), had been picked up and thrown in jail. We were sad about this and were wondering what had happened. (The Christ-bearers for whom YHWH is the true God will soon be the outlaws of society.) I just knew in the dream that he had something on his record that he had not taken care of. He had some infraction that he could have cleared up at any point, but he had chosen to ignore getting this cleared up, and now he had been picked up and thrown in jail. (Those who have not cleared up their infractions against God's Word before the mid-tribulation and are going into bondage to count the cost and to pay the price to lose their old life.) The judge sentenced him to 3 1/2 years in jail. My husband and I were very, very sad. (The great Judge's sentence is bondage for the last 3 1/2 years of the tribulation during the mark of the beast. Mat.5:23 If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee, 24 leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art with him in the way; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 26 Verily I say unto thee, thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the last farthing. Jesus came to lead those who were captive to freedom through obedience to His Word. Isa.61:1 The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening [of the prison] to them that are bound. Those who obey will escape this beast prison. Psa.125:3 For the sceptre (The rod of authority) of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous... Rev.3:10 Because thou didst keep the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial, that [hour] which is to come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. The beast will bring the saints into bondage for the hour, which is 3 1/2 years. Rev.17:12 And the ten horns that thou sawest are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet; but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour. Rev.13:5 and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty and two months. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them...)   Invasion Dream Linda Conner - 12/12/2004 (David's notes in red) This dream is all part of the same dream, but comes in short clips of different scenes. The dream starts off with this “group of people” putting on some kind of a show out in the field (world) north of our house. (The bondage of the beast came to the house of Israel from the North: Babylon, Media-Persia, Greece, Rome, Eze.38, 39) We live out in the country. My husband, brother, and I were in our house. We watched as these people marched by to set up their show. There was no levity in these people. It was all very serious and somber. It was dusk and turning into night quickly. (Joh.9:4) The night cometh when no MAN can work... (only the Lord) I felt an awful dread about this 'show' but my husband and brother thought it would be all right to go. I remember looking out a window during this show and seeing the atmosphere above them aglow with a brilliant orangish-red with black streaks (war). I was frightened. My husband and brother came back. I don't think they actually went over there all the way to see what was going on. It was just too ominous. It was downright dark and scary. (The invasion is not a physical conquering enemy but the spiritual forces of darkness invading the people as they become fully possessed as the body of the beast and force the devil's false peace on the world. The show that they are putting on in the heavenlies is the first four seals of Revelation 6:1-8, which is war and death for the first 3 1/2 years of the tribulation. This is to frighten people into submission, including the mark of the beast that comes after.) The show was over, and these men came into the house, and there were men everywhere outside too. (The show being over indicates that the fifth seal of Revelation 6:9 is beginning when the saints will be persecuted and killed for refusing the mark at the beginning of the last 3 1/2 years. At this time, those who took the mark and returned to their fellowships “came into the house” as the sons of perdition, and those outside the house are the rest of the beast body.) I remember sitting and talking with my husband. I was kind of reclining and leaning on my hand when one of these men started staring at me, and I knew that he could “read” me. Somehow, he could tell if I had been indoctrinated or not. But it seems like it was even more than that. He could tell by scanning my head if I had been marked or not. (The mark comes at the beginning of the second 3 1/2 years.) So, I put this khaki-colored denim jacket that I happened to have with me up higher to where it blocked my head from his view, but I had to do it pretending that I was examining the buttons on the jacket. If the man suspected I did it on purpose, he would've come over to me, and who knows what would happen. I remember thinking that it was too late to escape. They were everywhere. The time to escape out of the house and into the woods would've been during the “show”. (The time to escape out of the house of apostate Christianity and into the wilderness and out of man's help and works is now, and in the first 3 1/2 years when the show is still going on. Luk.21:34 But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare: 35 for [so] shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the earth. Luk.21:36 But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. In the Book of Acts, angels sprung the saints free from prison, and so it will happen to some in the last 3 1/2 years. Jesus passed through the midst of His enemies because He said, “no man taketh my life”. He never had to die, but did for our sacrifice.) One of the scenes is with my husband and me, and we were trying to get somewhere. It seemed like all of society was under martial law or something with these people everywhere. (The corporate body of the beast) They were suspicious of the slightest behavior. It was extremely dangerous to be out and about. I remember we ducked into this kind of narrow alleyway off the sidewalk and were trying to climb this almost straight up hill (The Kingdom of God) by grabbing the plants (Those rooted in the Kingdom will help bear the burden of the weaker ones.) that would hold our weight. It was muddy and slick. I finally said I couldn't go this way, and we got back down and walked. A woman stopped me and questioned whether I was one of the “enemy”. I need to stop and explain that throughout the dream, the idea is that we have been overtaken by an enemy who has demanded that we all take some kind of a mark, and they let us live, but it is under horrific circumstances. (Those who do not climb the Kingdom will find themselves having to face the One World Order Beast.) If we do not take this mark, then we are the enemy. There is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide at all, because they are EVERYWHERE, and these people are just trained to look at you and determine whether to let you live or die right on the spot. They have the authority to just kill you right where you stand. Many, many of these people used to be citizens of the USA, and some are the conquering enemy. (What are now citizens of the US will be citizens of the world beast seeking to conquer all that is not.) So, this woman who stopped me decided I looked suspicious because I was not carrying a gallon of water with me. Another one of these trained ones (a man) said to her, “No, she is with this man”. Pointing to my husband, I said, “That is right, I am with him”. My husband was carrying a gallon of water. (Because of the wars, the land and water will be poisoned. The beast will ration water to those with the mark.) They let us go, and we slipped into a public restroom that was a few steps beyond the encounter, just long enough to gather our wits about us. Of course, when I was stopped, we had to act as UNsuspicious in nature and as calm and cool as possible. (Pro.28:1) The wicked flee when no man pursueth; but the righteous are bold as a lion.) In another scene, many people are in a big room, and up front are some of the conquering enemy. These don't seem to be some of the people who have taken the mark, but these conquering enemies are much more cruel even than they. (The invaders are enforcers may not have to initially take the physical mark. The people who enforced the vax didn't take the vax either. Some of these may be converted to the Lord after the mark is given.) They had told us all to turn in anything we had of value. I had gone back to my purse, which was sitting on a folding chair toward the back of the room, and gotten out a huge wad of money and some coins, and had taken it up in a mock cheerful attitude and handed it in. I remember saying, “Here you go, I don't need it anyway”. Well, I wouldn't have needed it if I had the mark, but I really need it since I didn't have the mark. I believe that money was used to buy essentials in some kind of underground. But I had to pretend at the peril of my life that this money meant nothing to me. I looked up as I got back to my purse, and they had this woman standing up there. She was a lovely-looking woman, about 60 years or so of age, with blonde, well-groomed hair. She was standing there in so much fear that she really couldn't move. She was looking straight ahead in terror, and she was shaking all over. She had done something wrong. Then, I watched as one of the men put his gun to her temple and blew her away, and her body slumped to the floor. There was just a clip of another scene where my husband and I are running across an open field, trying to get to some shelter without anyone seeing us. We seemed to have a tent in the woods. (The tabernacle in the wilderness is where the saints will take shelter from the curse.) That was our shelter. It was all we had. ... And all we need. :o)   Righteous Preserved in the Coming Flood G.C. (David's notes in red) (G.C. hasn't forgotten a single detail of this dream since having it at age 7.) When I was seven, I went to bed one Saturday night and awoke on the sea. I was in a small wooden boat with my sister and dad. The boat had no oar or motor. I looked around, and there was a very overwhelming sight before my eyes; it seemed as if the whole world was on the sea as well, everyone inside small wooden boats just like ours. The sea went on forever and so did the boats; it was quite breathtaking. I got the impression that inside the boats were families, like what was inside mine. After what seemed like a long time of just looking around and drifting helplessly in the sea, a giant head with a man's face appeared in the sky. (The head is giant because it represents a corporat body head of the beast.) The giant head was what seemed like the size of a planet, and upon this head was a golden crown. The head did not speak, and really did not give the impression it was alive, but it was. It rotated on an axis and just looked straight ahead, never blinking. After I saw this head, I looked at the sea, which was once docile and calm, but had become the exact opposite; it became fierce and raging. (The sea is the peoples who have been demonized through the mark.) The waves were huge and damaging, breaking many boats in half and causing many people in the boats to fall out and drown. Mothers screamed for their children as they drowned before their eyes. People were clinging to life and crying out in fear as most of them were swallowed up by the sea. My boat (The Ark of abiding in Christ) and the three members of my family inside were quite safe and protected, although we were in the same type of boat and in the same environment; we were not in the least affected by the storm that ravaged the other boats and people. I was not in fear as I watched this head in the sky, which was quite shocking, and the people drowned before my eyes under it. This went on for what seemed like 7 or 8 hours. I don't know why I recall this number, but I feel that it was 7 or 8 hours. Finally, after a long time, the head disappeared, and the water calmed down. The sea swallowed up all the wreckage and the dead bodies. Then, where no land had been before, land suddenly appeared to my left. It was a beach with tents along the shore and flagpoles next to the tents. Then some kind of force drew us to the shore -- our boat as well as a number of other boats with their occupants safely inside. I didn't know that any other boat had survived this storm, but there were more survivors, but just a very small number compared to the large number that I saw in the beginning. We all drew near to the shore, and as the boat hit the shore and I stepped out, I woke up. It was Sunday morning. We went to church and I told the pastor my dream, but he didn't understand at all. (Many will not survive the test of the tribulation waters ahead. They will be judged by the waters of the Word.)   Spiritual Mark of the Beast G.C. (David's notes in red) A few years ago, I had another dream where I awoke in a huge field and found myself walking along a fence line. I was trying to conceal myself for some reason as I walked this fence line. I do not know why, but I knew that certain people were looking for me, who wanted to hurt me. As I walked for a while, I came upon a house. I knew right away this house would be a safe refuge. I walked in, and I saw many people in the house, people of many races, grouped together in their family units. It was shown to me in the dream that this was a Christian safehouse. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the house because the people seemed so happy and full of joy. What made this so amazing was that in the outside world, there were terrible things going on; it was shown to me that a tribulation was going on outside the house, but these people were happy and safe here. After a while, a large young man walked in; it was shown to me that he was living in the outside world and wanted to find his family, and since he knew where they were, he came back to them. He had a large red mark on his forehead; it looked like a fancy tribal tattoo, kinda creepy really. As soon as he walked into the house, many inside the house began to weep and wail; some grabbed their children and held them close to them, because they saw this mark on his forehead. The young man began to get frightened by the response the people gave him, and looked really worried. His father, who was an elder who lived in the house, walked up to him and was crying as he talked to him. Everyone could see this red mark on his head, but he was clueless that he had it. (The spiritual mark of the beast in the forehead, represents the mind of the flesh.) It wasn't until his dad told him what was on his head that he realized what was really going on. He started really freaking out at this point and was in panic. He ran up to me and was speaking in a very panicked fashion, but I could do nothing for him. No one could do anything for him, and he knew it. The weird thing was, he never even knew this mark was on his head until it was pointed out to him. I wondered to myself, how could this great red mark on his forehead get there without him even being aware of it? I really cannot recall what happened next. (There is a spiritual mark of the beast that will cause all who have it to take the physical mark. Most do not know they have it. See chapter 13 of Hidden Manna For the End Times.)

In this episode, we step into one of the most foundational covenants in all of Scripture — the covenant made with Abraham.Rather than asking, “Which covenant are we under?”, we explore the better question: Where do we stand in the unfolding covenant story? From Genesis 12, 15, and 17, we trace the promise of land, seed, and blessing — and uncover how this oath-based covenant finds its fulfillment in Messiah.We examine:The unconditional promise of Genesis 12The unilateral covenant of Genesis 15The prophetic imagery of the smoking furnace and burning lampThe Melchizedek priesthood connectionPaul's argument in Galatians and Romans that connect us back to AbrahamThe difference between promise and lawThe 400 vs. 430-year prophecyHow Messiah is the promised Seed through whom the nations are blessedThis episode reveals that the gospel is not a new invention — it is the fulfillment of Yahuah's original promise to Abraham. Messiah does not cancel the covenant; He embodies and secures it.The Abrahamic covenant is about Promise → Identity → Inheritance.And what began with a promise under the stars is still unfolding today.Next, we move into the Mosaic Covenant — how it fits into the same covenant story and why understanding both is essential to seeing the full picture of redemption.Support the show

Jeffrey M. Bradshaw discusses two new commentaries on the life and ministry of Abraham, Sarah, and their families. The first of these books is part of his commentary series on Genesis, In God's Image and Likeness, written with co-authors (and Conversations with Interpreter guests) Matthew Bowen and John Thompson. The second book is a shorter version called Look unto Abraham and Sarah. In this episode, Dr. Bradshaw explores the advantage of a commentary format for Latter-day Saints, pointing ways in which this format can help us become richer readers of the scriptures. He also discusses how the Abrahamic Covenant impacts women and men in our desires to become more like God and to follow the covenant example of not only Patriarchs like Abraham, but also Matriarchs like Sarah and Hagar. The post Conversations with Interpreter: Jeff Bradshaw and Two New Books on Abraham and Sarah first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

On today's Text-Driven Tuesday, Jay and George are discussing the Abrahamic Covenant from Genesis 17. What are the obligations? What are the promises? What is the sign? And who are the members? The guys will especially focus on the distinctions between Baptists and Presbyterians, and the relationship between circumcision and baptism. Conformed to Christ aims to engage the mind, affect the heart, and call people to follow Christ. Additionally, our aim is to introduce and explain passages of Scripture and difficult theological doctrines in a down-to-earth and easy-to-grasp manner. Theology and the Bible should impact your life, and our goal is that we might play a small part in seeing that happen. Conformed to Christ is a ministry of Christ's Fellowship Church. https://cfclawton.org/ ***Be sure to subscribe on YouTube, iTunes, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Podbean, and Amazon Music Youtube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCgQBeT-Mj1CmngPdhZyWybQ iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/conformed-to-christ/id1503247486 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL2NvbmZvcm1lZHRvY2hyaXN0L2ZlZWQueG1s Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5YruCZu4hla6Ll3rBu7UPY Podbean: https://conformedtochrist.podbean.com

In this episode, Andy and Ryan begin to unpack the Biblical covenants. The first covenant they explore is the Abrahamic covenant. This episode was recorded while they were touring Israel on the shores of the Dead Sea.

This week, we have 2 lectures to keep pace for those following the Come Follow Me schedule. Text: Genesis 24-33 Supplemental Text: The Third Thousand Years chapters 1-5   BYU Lecture 11: One of the purposes of a college education is to learn how to think and not to be deceived; what is true and what is false, and what is good and what is evil. Who are God's chosen people? Just one word describes them – Obedience! God is no respecter of persons and chooses those who are obedient, and they become “the seed of Abraham” and recipients of the Abrahamic Covenant. If you are born in the covenant you have a tremendous responsibility to be a soldier of God. The characteristics of obedient children of God are reviewed. Abraham and Isaac are quickly reviewed, with the introduction of Esau and Jacob.   BYU Lecture 12: Rebekah leaves her family and home for Isaac, but is unable to bear him children. This becomes a great trial for her. She receives a priesthood blessing and a revelation. She then conceives and bares twins, Esau and Jacob. Abraham dies and is buried. Esau, the elder and farmer, marries a Canaanite against his father's desire. He is careless with his rights and sells his birthright to Jacob, the shepherd. Isaac gives Jacob the covenant blessing. A priesthood blessing cannot be given by deception, as Isaac confirms the blessing he gave to Jacob and commands him not to marry a Canaanite woman as Esau did. He instructs Jacob to travel to Haran, Rebekah's homeland, to find a Shemetic wife. On the way, Jacob has a visitation from the Lord who promises a continuation of the Abrahamic Covenant through Jacob's posterity. Jacob arrives in Haran and meets Rachel. He promises to work for her father Laban 7 years for her hand in marriage. By deception, Laban weds Jacob to his oldest daughter Leah instead of Rachel. After a week, Jacob then marries Rachel and works another 7 years for Laban. Children are born to Jacob through Leah, Bilhah (Rachel's handmaid), Zilpah (Leah's handmaid), and finally Rachel conceives and has a son named Joseph.

Esau's tears remind us to not despise the blessings within our reach.(57:46) The people of the covenant always seek sacred places to commune with God.(1:03:13) The literal reading (peshat) of Genesis 27.1-40 with 4 points of emphasis from the Institute Manual.(1:10:27) Patterns, types, and figures may provide deeper meaning to Genesis 27. Reading this text with an allegorical (remez) and sacred temple approach (sod).(1:21:36) The three fold structure of the creation and the three Patriarchs may increase our understanding of temple symbolism and show us Rebekah's essential purpose in this story.(1:31:10) We can accept the responsibility of the Abrahamic Covenant by sharing the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jacob's story emphasizes the importance of keeping the covenant in the family first.(1:36:46) The geopolitical situation between Judah and Israel may have influenced the text.(1:38:29) The Book of Mormon teaches that when we treat family like the enemy, we open the door to the real enemy.(1:39:42) “Jacob's Ladder” can be viewed as a heavenly vision of the Lord. Bethel as a representation of modern-day temples.(1:47:56) Jacob meets Rachel at a well. The matriarchs are often associated with water.(1:50:02) Laban tricks Jacob into marrying Leah first since she is the older sister. He then marries Rachel, but serves 7 years for her because he loves her. The challenges of plural marriage.(1:53:47) The image of opening a mother's womb as a manifestation of heavenly power. The sanctity of life is very important to God.(1:58:30) The names of the children of Israel are puns that expose the rivalry between the sisters Rachel and Leah.(2:06:20) Faith in God includes faith in his timing, even for righteous desires. God remembered Rachel and he will remember you.(2:09:11) The Lord (or an angel) tells Jacob to leave Haran. Jacob and Laban hold a contest regarding the fertility of their flocks. Rachel hides Laban's “household gods.”(2:14:41) Jacob's reconciliation with Laban through a covenant.(2:18:38) Jacob asks God for a blessing to endure well and reconcile with Esau in Genesis 32. Jacob wrestles with a “man” or God. A comparison between Jacob's wrestle in Genesis and Enos' wrestle in the Book of Mormon.(2:25:06) Jacob's name is changed to Israel, which can mean “let God prevail.” We also receive a new name when we become followers of Christ and in other times of our lives.

To keep the Abrahamic Covenant, to be different than the world and to have the Spirit of the Lord, we need to be very cautious in our homes and in our personal lives to not even except a thread of what the world has to offer.If you'd like to view the video that goes with the podcast, click here!

The 2 P's and the E of the Abrahamic Covenant.

What does camping have to do with covenants and why does the direction your tent faces actually matter? ⛺

Speaking of Covenants (as we do this week), to get really in depth learning about the covenant, join Steven Harper and myself on a cruise where we discuss the New and Everlasting Covenant in a series of ten lectures/discussions/workshops. This will be fantastic! Plus we dock at Cozumel, Roatan, Costa Maya, and more! Learn more at https://restorationtravels.com/nec-cruise/ In this episode Kerry and Mike Goodman explore some elements of the Abrahamic Covenant. Then Kerry delves into the wonderful but mysterious symbolism of the sacrifice Abraham made when he covenanted with God, and the dividing of the animals in half, and what that has to do with your covenant and with the renewal of your covenant at the sacrament every week. Then Kerry and Phillip Allred explore why Abraham wanted to covenant with God, and why God chose to covenant with Abraham, and how that covenant relates to other scriptural stories of covenants.

The “Thoughts to Keep in Mind” about The Covenant in the CFM Curriculum this month is awesome!  “Did this covenant give Abraham, Sarah, and their descendants a privileged status among God's children? Only in the sense that it is a privilege to bless others.”  So good!If you'd like to view the video that goes with the podcast, click here!

What if becoming who God is calling you to be requires leaving the survival version of yourself, not just a physical location? Dr. Jenae Nelson explores Abraham's journey as a path toward covenant identity, healing from trauma, and claiming priesthood power, weaving scripture with her own story of loss, faith, and courageous belonging.YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/rCgXKFOYdBcALL EPISODES/SHOW NOTESfollowHIM website: https://www.followHIMpodcast.comFREE PDF DOWNLOADS OF followHIM QUOTE BOOKSNew Testament: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastNTBookOld Testament: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastOTBookBook of Mormon: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastBMBookWEEKLY NEWSLETTERhttps://tinyurl.com/followHIMnewsletterSOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/followHIMpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/followhimpodcastTIMECODE00:00 Part 1 - Dr. Jenae Nelson01:56 Episode Teaser02:36 Bio04:30 Come, Follow Me Manual05:30 Abandoned children and tokens07:56 Father of three religions11:17 Restoring to the Abrahamic Covenant16:14 Understanding the Gathering19:15 President Oaks and Priesthood Authority22:20 Blessings of our fathers (and mothers)25:48 Becoming a change maker29:53 Eternal identity34:40 The Comeback Podcast37:30 The capacity for righteous living40:01 Survival skills and leaving behind old tools43:23 What is a boundary?46:28 Why Abraham?

Zionism is a term that has been massively misused in the media and on social media, deceiving millions. Joel Richardson is the founder of Joel Richardson Ministries, and he defines Zionism as simply the Jewish people having a right to their own land and a right to self-determination. Joel gives key examples on how some people, especially influencers, deliberately misuse it, misleading the masses and causing major confusion both in the culture and the church. Joel explains that the negative connotation of Zionism is merely the target of baseless conspiracy theories. Key components of the original Abrahamic Covenant and the Davidic Covenant are given, along with the future of Israel according to Biblical prophecy. Joel explores scriptural truth regarding Christ's plans for establishing Israel in its entirety when He returns again.TAKEAWAYSUltimately, Israel will be replanted in their land, as the Bible saysThere are three components of the Abrahamic Covenant: the Israeli Land Covenant, the Davidic Covenant, and the New CovenantThere is tremendous controversy in the church over the term ‘Zionism'A covenant is a unilateral and unconditional promise made by God

Genesis 17 // Jonathan NeefThis sermon explores the profound developments in Genesis 17, where God appears to a ninety-nine-year-old Abram to reaffirm his promises. We examine the introduction of God as El Shaddai (God Almighty), the significant name changes for both Abraham and Sarah, and the institution of circumcision as a permanent physical sign of the covenant. The message focuses on the necessity of walking blamelessly before God and the assurance that nothing is too difficult for the Lord, even when human circumstances seem impossible.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49556195 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new26.02.01

CPXL Season 2 • Episode 3: The Abrahamic Covenant — God's Promise, God's People, God's Plan | Genesis 12, 15, 17After the scattering at Babel, God begins something new through one man and one family. In this episode of CPXL, we explore the Abrahamic Covenant—God's foundational promise that sets the trajectory for the entire biblical story.Walking through Genesis 12, 15, and 17, we see that God's covenant is entirely His initiative—grounded in faith, not performance. From Abram's call to trust without seeing the full picture, to God alone cutting the covenant, this conversation reveals God's heart to restore, bless, and redeem the nations.The episode also points forward to Jesus, the promised descendant through whom the blessing to all nations is fulfilled—showing how faith, not lineage, defines God's people.In This Episode:God's call to Abram and the meaning of covenantWhy faith is central to God's promisesHow the covenant expands in Genesis 15 and 17How Abraham's story points forward to JesusWhat it means to live as people of the covenant todayKey Scriptures:Genesis 12:1–3Genesis 15Genesis 17Galatians 3Romans 4As Genesis narrows from nations to one family, we're invited to see ourselves within God's unfolding covenant story—and to consider where He may be calling us to trust Him without seeing the full picture.About CPXLCPXL exists to equip and encourage Everyday Missionaries to Love God, Grow Up, Serve All, and Live Sent.

Today we meet Abraham's grandsons, Jacob and Esau. Jacob, known for his deceitful ways, manages to gain the birthright and blessing intended for his older brother, Esau. We explore the significance of God's announcement that "the older will serve the younger" and how it plays out in the lives of these two brothers. Despite their flaws, we see how God's blessing is ultimately a gift and not something earned through deceit or strength. Jacob's struggle with God leads to a name change and confirmation of his inheritance of the Abrahamic Covenant promises.Bible ReadingsGenesis 25:19-33Genesis 27:1-45Genesis 32:24-30Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

In the Fathers Era, we see God call Abram out of the city of Ur. He calls him to leave everything behind and embark on a journey to a land that God will show him. More than that, He calls him with the promises of the Abrahamic Covenant… promises of land, seed, and blessing to the world. In the promised Land, Abram's faith is counted to him as righteousness. Soon we witness the name change from Abram to Abraham, signifying a new identity for this father of many.Bible ReadingsGenesis 12:1-3Genesis 15:1-6Romans 4:1-8Genesis 17:1-8Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!
