What's in a name---King David's great grandson's name was changed to -My Father is Yahweh- --abiyy-h--abiy-h-, ------------------- in 2 Chronicles 13-1 from -My Father is Yam- --abiyy-m, --------- in 1 Kings 15-1. --II.

First of all, as always, I made a couple of mistakes, such as referring to the first century of the Christian Era as Before Christ, and I also got a couple of dates wrong- 1690 instead of 1688. And I failed to acknowledge that Queen Mary who was married to William of Orange was the daughter of King James II.- -People misread the Book of Revelation …

As we examine Revelation 14-8-12, we discover an immediate fulfillment in the first century of the Christian Era, when the Romans burned the city of Jerusalem and destroyed the Second Temple with fire on the 9th day of the Jewish month Ab, 656 years after the Babylonians had destroyed the First Temple on that same day in 586 Before the Christian Er…

The Star of Bethlehem was a supernatural phenomenon, and it is of no use in dating the birth of Christ.--The death of Herod the Great in 4 Before the Christian Era is very valuable, along with the time frame of his murdering the male children in the area around Bethlehem before his death.

As we go through the book of Revelation, I am attempting to show the evidence for the major interpretations- Preterist, Historicist, Futurist, and Idealist. I am doing this because I see some truth in all four schools of thought.--While Full Preterism is heretical because it denies the future Second Coming of Christ and our physical resurrection -2…

Until the 20th century, historicism was the dominant understanding of the book of Revelation, and Muhammad -570-632- was identified as being foretold in the 9th chapter, going back to English commentator Bede -672-735-.- -This is the link to the handout for today's sermon- https---www.rbvincent.com-muh.pdf -- it is useful to have as you listen.- -T…

God's people's prayers in Revelation 6-9-11 produce the judgments that follow, beginning in verse Revelation 6-12-17.

Jeremiah wrote to Israel in exile that they should pray for the peace and prosperity of Babylon -Jeremiah 29-4-7-, quite in contrast to the feelings of the Jewish people in Psalm 137.--However, now that God's purpose for the violent, hateful Babylonian empire is about to be fulfilled, in 597 BC Jeremiah sends a scroll with an official of Judah's la…

Psalm 110 is the most cited Scripture by the authors of the New Testament. As such it forms the core passage for how the Lord Jesus and his apostles interpreted Scripture.--In Luke 20-41, the Lord Jesus pointed out that David's Son is also David's Lord, citing Psalm 110-1.--He is also a priest whose priesthood is superior to the Levitical priesthoo…

In Matthew 5-17-20, the Lord Jesus teaches us to hold to the plenary, verbal inspiration of Scripture, even down to the Hebrew letters themselves.--Jewish people would never refer to the Hebrew Bible as the Old Testament.

As we look at the issue of slavery, several things stand out.--While slavery was permitted in both the Old and New Testaments, it was very different from the kind of slavery that existed in the United States of America from 1619 until 1865.--Under Old Testament law, slaves who ran away were protected and not to be returned to their masters -Deutero…

2 Samuel 21-1-2 records the cause of a great famine in Israel.--In order to understand this passage, we must consider God's command in Deuteronomy 7-1-6- 20-16-18 and how it differs from Deuteronomy 20-10-15.--The Gibeonites had learned of this distinction -Joshua 9-24-, so they tricked Joshua and Israel's leaders into swearing an oath based on Deu…
