First let me say that I am a mere human being that was born into a sinful nature and only by the grace of God almighty and the salvation found in Jesus Christ will I be found acceptable. I pray that you take my words as one weary travelers discoveries and that my intentions are not point fingers at any one denomination or belief system. My life experience has shown me the detailed workings of the Protestant Church to include my participation in seminary and collegiate Bible training, the complete catechism of the Catholic Church and a review of the Quran. None of these were capable of answering many nagging questions concerning the scriptures. After 40 years of "church life" I stopped following the crowds and began a study of the scriptures in the original Hebrew and Greek. Paralleling events in history with the scriptures and deciphering the effect of these events on the lives and theology of the believers. I pray that the information provided here has a three fold effect: 1. provide truth not otherwise provided by the corporate church experience 2. Answer questions that others are either afraid to ask or afraid to answer, and last but not least, 3. bring people to a saving relationship and closer walk with YHVH.

1 Thessalonians 3

1 Wherefore when we could no longer forbear (endure the travel, contention of the people), we thought it good to be left (pass by) at Athens alone; 2 And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellow laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish* you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:...

1 Thessalonians 2

1 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto [traveling to] you, that it was not in vain: [emptiness] 2 But even after that we had suffered before, [violently abused] and were shamefully entreated, [treat spitefully] as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God...

Joel 3

3:1 For, behold, in those days*, and in that time*, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, These terms are somewhat inconclusive as to their application when Joel pronounces this prophecy. This is very reminiscent of the "in the day" that was quoted to Adam in the Garden. We dont exactly... Continue Reading →

Joel Chapter 1

Before we dig in to the Scripture lets discover some context. The exact dates of when the Prophet Joel lived is uncertain, but scholars generally place him in the 9th century BCE, during the period of the Divided Kingdom of Israel. This would mean he lived roughly around the same time as prophets like Elijah,... Continue Reading →
