Our God is a God of order. Psalm 89:14 says that righteousness and justice are the very foundation of His heavenly throne. This means that all He does must be based in what is right and just. While some of us may look at [...]
Father Adam was created in the image of God. When he sinned, he received a sentence or curse because of his disobedience to the divine will. Thus, a law must have been given him that was sufficiently explicit. Adam and Eve were not prone [...]
“8 Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. 9 You will break them with a rod of iron; you will dash them to pieces like pottery. 10 Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, [...]
We are living in the end times. This is the time when Satan's old order will be torn down and when Christ will establish God's kingdom on earth (Daniel 2:44). It is perilous to believers because there are so many lies, deceptions, and temptations [...]
Yes. In fact the entire present evil world (Galatians 1:4) is under God’s judgment.Consider the symbolic picture in Revelation 19:11-12, 14-16 (NKJV), 11 “Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, [...]

Covid-19, vaccinations, earthquakes, the economy, climate change, political upheavals – there is no doubt that the human race is experiencing tribulation on a broad scale. Daniel 12:1 prophesies that when Michael (representing Christ at His return) would stand up, the world would experience a [...]
Many have been faithful before Christ and after Christ. They are described as those who have “done good.” Their reward is a resurrection of life. Their judgment is past and they are judged worthy of life. (Whether they receive life on an earthly or [...]

Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight…” John 18:36. God is not directing the leaders of this “present evil world,” Galatians 1:4 It is not that there is no good in [...]
