OBJECTIVE: #1) To explore the origin of man. #2) To follow the first-born lineage from Adam to Abram and the great everlasting COVENANT God made with Abram that resulted in physical Israel. #3) To explore the founding of the nation Israel, their bondage and how God introduced Judaism while Israel journeyed to their Promised Land. NOTE: God’s word gives us enough information to know how Satan works. It does not give Satan’s opinion, operation and war against mankind in every Biblical event (Rev. 12:9) but he is there. If [...]

(Num. 13:22-33) In the forty years in the [...]

REMEMBER THESE DEFINITIONS! (Heb. 9:23 keyword: patterns) The Greek definition of pattern's is: Strong's Concordance #5262: an exhibit for imitation or warning, a figure, copy, an example, model, figuratively, specimen, and adumbration. The [...]

OBJECTIVE: (Isa. 53:1-12 esp. V.7 keywords: a lamb to the slaughter) To understand the fulfillment of the prophesied sacrificial lamb. (John 14:7-8) Jesus’ previous statement; (V.7) “If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him and have seen him.” had gone right by the disciples. Jesus had spoken so many things in such a veiled way that Philip must have looked at Jesus with surprise; (V.8) “Lord shew us the Father, and it sufficeth (is sufficient for) us.” (John 14:9 [...]

THE UNVEILING CONTINUES OBJECTIVE: To investigate the founding of Christianity. NOTE: (John 21:25) It is obvious there were conversations in various Biblical situations that are not recorded because they would be considered frivolous to the situation. Had they been recorded they would have diluted the content of the point being made and quite possibly the Bible could have been a mile thick and nobody would read it. Sometimes we simply have to flesh out the situation. They were people just like us and they had conversations concerning their time [...]

Objective: To understand (John 4:22) SALVATION IS OF THE JEWS. (Luke 1:1 thru 2:52 & Acts 4:8-12) Jesus is born a Jew and earned salvation for (Acts 8:35-38 & Rom. 5:8-21) those who will believe. (Mark 3:14-19 esp. V.18) The twelve disciples were Jews. (V.18) Simon was from Cana in Galilee (John 2:11) and is referred to as a Canaanite. The actual Canaanite tribes had disappeared as such in the time of Joshua and thereafter between about 1440 and 1100 BC. (Acts 2:1-8) The twelve disciples, (Acts 1:16-26) minus [...]

Objective: To realize the fallacy of modern man’s (our) tendency to filter our view of ancient Biblical times through the lens of our society, time and place (2Tim. 2:15) and to understand we must study to be approved by God. AND: To continue studying the beginnings of Christianity. HISTORY reveals: The ancient world was a far cry different than this one. In that time of bladed weapons and tools there were no antibiotics. Some plants had antibiotic qualities but they made little difference. A deep puncture wound or cut [...]

A brief, basic review of mankind’s history: (Col. 1:12-17 esp. V.16 keywords: all things were created by him and for him- God) Man was created with a basic need in his soul to worship. BUT: (Gen. 3:1-24) The man and woman told God by their actions; “We will worship God our own way!” God said; “OK, go do it your way, follow the devil out of Eden and die.” And Eden was gone. (Gen. 6:1 thru 8:22 keyword: offered) Again, except for the linage that produced Noah, man told [...]

NOTE: I have heard some people, even some preachers, say; "The Bible does not say God needs us or even wants us." Definitions are from Strong’s concordance of the KJ Bible: need, Greek word- husteresis- when it is used as a verb (describes an action, state or occurrence), it is defined as; to want, to call for: AND: need, when it is used as a noun (a word used to identify any of a class of people, places or things), is defined as; circumstances in which something is necessary, [...]

We have explored the political and religious world into which Mohammad was born. Now we must briefly explore the Spiritual World: Satan among the Jews, Christians and Pagans: (1Chron. 21:1) “Satan”, (Isa. 14:12-14) “Lucifer”, (Rev. 12:9) “that old serpent, called the Devil” had been temporarily successful. (Isa. 14:12-14) He had said in his heart; “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars (princes) of God: I will sit also upon the mount (mountain) of the congregation (assembly, place of meeting, synagogue), in the sides [...]
